TIFU dafür dass ich damals bescheuert war?

TIFU by staying silent for too long in a relationship

TL;DR NEVER EVER stay silent in a relationship if something is bothering you with your S/O - deal with it ASAP since the longer you keep quiet the worse it will get.

Here's the situation My gf (well, now ex) are both 22. We've always been known as that cute couple from high school, since we've been dating for 3y6m.

I've always been the quite and shy guy, while she's been Bossy and sometimes even rude towards me and our friends. I've usually stayed silent - swallowing it all, not really wanting to argue. I just tried to tell her about that subtly, but it didn't work. I tried telling her directly that her actions and just not nice & rude and disrespectful towards me and others but nope

And two nights ago I was "late" home because I drove my friend to his house since it was pouring like mad (keep mind mind, both of us still live with our parents and are students) That was last straw and I couldn't keep it up anymore. She gave me a hard time for "coming home late" (it was like 11PM) and I ended up being the bad guy AGAIN

And there were a lot of just subte signs y'know - which I just KEPT SILENT OVER AND DIDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT like calling me fat (even tho I have 75kg and 175cm and do cardio A LOT) or being rude to me or being disrespectful a lot towards me and making fun of me and sometimes I even had a feeling she didn't even care about me and used me just to have some boyfriend.

What really made me think that she didn't really care was, I said that if we were to get married, I'd (have) to bring over my cockatiel, since he's suuuper bonded to me. She all got cranky and mad and kept telling me that she ain't cleaning after/from a bird (and he really don't make that much of a mess and I already do all the cleaning)

And when two of your closest friends, your sister and you dad strat telling you that something is wrong and that something needs to change and that her behavior is just not acceptable and that basically everyone stoped talking to her...

AND I KEPT SILENT FOR MONTHS AND IGNORED ALL THAT AND PRETENDED LIKE EVERYTHING IS FINE AND WAS AFRAID OF DOING ANYTHING

Until now.... She was my first girlfriend, ever. I really wanted to marry her, since I loved her with my whole heart and.... But sometimes I just didn't feel loved back - not even respected. This is all fresh for me, and I still have feelings for her - it will take some time I guess for all of it to go away. So please, don't be dumb like me - if you feel and see that something is not right in your relationship, don't ignore it and hide it under the rug.

As for her - she won't read this, she's not on Reddit. I wish her the best of luck in the life and studies.

Thanks for reading....please don't be dumb like me.

TIFU By Fumbling My Gym Crush

I've never posted on Reddit before so apologies if anything is off. I (F) had a crush on a man at my gym for months. We would make extended eye contact frequently, workout in proximity, the usual gym things that get over analyzed when you like someone. He's wildly handsome, but I liked his vibe. A lot. It's hard to explain when someone's energy just hits different but his did. One day he started coming in with a woman. The day I saw her with him, he and I actually stared at each other from across the room for a while, and I turned and walked away because obviously gym rules - that's his girlfriend until I'm told otherwise. The eye contact continues and so does the proximity but I've dialed back completely because in my head, he has a girl and I am no home wrecker. Well, recently, on a Sunday, I was having a real shit day. I accidentally hurt my shoulder so my back day was all off, my body wasn't cooperating, the gym was packed - all I wanted to do w...

TIFU by getting called racist for not handing cash to a customer

today I (F18) fucked up by worked a long ahh shift and got put on register. I never hand money in people’s hands as customers have yelled at me for it, and i think it’s germy so I scoot it towards them as a sign of respect. this lady came in and after i did that she goes “Imma need you to do that again and put it in my hand, you did this last time too don’t you know it’s disrespectful” (meanwhile i haven’t worked register in 2 months at said job and didn’t recognize her) so i apologize, and then cuz it’s call off time i go talk to my boss about it and they all agree with me. apparently though she told my keyholder who’s a poc i was being RACIST by not touching her. so i got told i need to do better even though i didn’t do anything. she was insinuating i was a racist. idk if i should quit or what but i fucked up. TL;DR: i’m a dumbass

TIFU by making a joke that landed horribly

I was talking to someone and thought I was being funny, but the second the words left my mouth I knew I had messed up. It was one of those jokes that sounds fine in your head and then just dies completely in real life. Nobody laughed, the mood got awkward instantly, and I could feel my face getting hot because I knew I had just made everything weird for no reason. What made it worse is that I tried to recover from it instead of just shutting up. So then I started talking more, which only made it more obvious that I was panicking. You know that feeling when you can hear yourself getting worse while it’s happening and you still can’t stop? yeah, that was me. I kept trying to act normal, but the whole thing was already gone. After that I just wanted to disappear and pretend it never happened. I’m still thinking about it way more than I should, which somehow makes it even more embarrassing. I really should have just kept my mouth shut for once. TL;DR: I tried to be funny and the joke...
