TIFU by thinking it was just period cramps.

TIFU by not properly utilizing my attorney and unnecessarily suffering for years

Six years ago, I contacted my attorney and informed her that my ex was abusing my parental rights. She had told me that given the proximity to the custody hearing (A year prior) that the court would most likely not entertain my case.

She informed me that my best course of action was to be as meticulous as possible, journal everything down and collect evidence.

I tried to explain how my grievances, just couldn't be within the realm of typical "custody disputes" but was met with a cautioning "Well, as tedious as this may be. You're better off having a plethora of evidence. Trust me, everyone of my clients says the same thing"

Seeing as how I have financially struggled in the last handful of years (Home foreclosure, a mountain of medical debt and just enough income to watch said mountain terraform into a range). It took me many attempts to collect the nessecary 3k for my attorney and roughly 5 years and 3 months to do so (Donating blood, selling my army stuff, my bike...etc).

Four days ago I finally sat down with her (check in hand) and this is what she said; "You put far more effort than what you needed", "You have at least 5 years worth of evidence here, the judge won't look past a year or two" and then gasping as she reads over testimony/proof "Oh my, you poor thing. Honey, what she's been doing is actually very much illegal. This is what we call Malicious Parent Syndrome. This could have been done after her first couple violations, with a simple civil petition for contempt of court"

I'm fucking devastated. I've watched my daughter change as her mother has manipulated her over the years. I sacrificed years for this case (dedicated a ridiculous amount of time because my kid deserved my absolute best effort), spent so many Sundays morbidly depressed and have been nearly defeated by the actions of my ex...just too many damn times to count. I could have been passed this years ago but now I'm just calloused, bitter and distraught. More importantly, I could have spared my daughter from this madness.

This isn't a "glass half full" type of ordeal, not unless the contents of the half had long since spoiled

TL;DR Spent the worst years of my life, building a case, that could have been solved almost immediately. This isn't the typical quirky TIFU, my apologies, just needed to say/write this out loud

TIFU by going through my girlfriend’s old photos

My girlfriend and I have been together for 9 months or so and things have been up and down but I love her a lot and she loves me a lot. We’re both 20 and she’s had a lot more experience sexually than I have and this has always bothered me but besides that we have a pretty good relationship. We’ve talked about our pasts and she’s had some pretty bad experiences that caused her to kind of go off the rails up until we met. She’s all in on me and I’m all in on her and she’s expressed a lot of regret about her past choices and I’ve tried to be as understanding as possible but I’ve always had some insecurity regarding it. Well anyways last night I was on her laptop and saw her photos were linked to it and I stupidly clicked on it and started going through them. Don’t need anyone telling me that it was dumb and an invasion of privacy because I really realize that now and I will never be going through any of her stuff again. Anyways I ended up seeing a lot of shit. Clicked on a folder that...

TIFU by asking my boss why his cock got hard on my leg.

***not a fake post. I’m F 32, He was standing over one of my legs while I was sitting in front of him facing him (spinal adjustment) and he spread my knees with his leg, put his hand on my stomach and then there was a ton of sexual tension and I felt his cock grow into my leg and then start to fill with blood and then twitch on my leg. My boss has been leading me on for two years in subtle ways. Lots of waist pinching, close moments, and “were you good while I was away(s)?” Mostly breadcrumbing himself out to me while his wife (who I also work with) became increasingly hostile towards me. He is someone who has been a mentor to me for ten years. The two of them seem to be having marital problems on and off. The other month, while in close proximity, he started to get hard on my leg and moved when he noticed. A while later, I asked for an open conversation on the attraction between us and what to do about it. It has been distressing me and I had reached my limit. I figured since we’ve...

TIFU having sex with the hot tub

Happened a year ago, but today was when I was told how bad this is.    Having sex with the hot tub is a terrible idea.  Not IN the hot tub.  WITH the hot tub.    I like to relax at night in the hot tub.  No lights on, dark sky and all alone in my backyard.  Sometimes, the hot water and bubbles hit the right spot and things can get aroused.  Usually not a big deal and a little masturbation to climax helps with the relaxing part of the evening.  However, this night, I was too stressed to finish, but the erection would not go away.  I decided I had to take care of the issue and looked for the most immediate, intense stimulation by sticking my penis right up against the jet flow.  The feeling was incredibly intense and the desired effect took place within a minute.    Now I could relax.  But, something didn’t feel right.   Touching my semi-erect penis, I realized it was flopped over to the side, half way up...
