TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU and AITA by suggesting an abortion to my know ex girlfriend

The title sounds tough, I know.

So I got a story here that's totally a big TIFU and AITA alike.

So of course I thought it would be wise to hear the infamous internet strangers opinions on the matter.

Here's the deal: I'm a 25 years old guy that happened to get my now ex girlfriend pregnant without planning insert complaints and comments on irresponsible sex.

We were both unemployed at the time, our families are financially unstable, plus I'm going through a recovery process of a psychosis.

Yes, it is that dramatic.

Now for 10 days, after the test was positive I was in denial of the whole thing, and I didn't have the courage to take the position of being pro abortion in this particular case because I knew it would be a big hit on the relationship, considering she's 100% anti-abortion. Furthermore I was psychologically sick at the time.

So, after speaking with my family, I build up the courage to speak with her and tell her, for the reasons above, it's not the best time to have the kid, and sh*it happens: she freaks out, kicks me out of her place, and ends up the relationship. Pretty much overreacting in my opinion.

Now I try to calm down, and inspire myself in the wisdom of The Art of War by Sun Tzu, which I was intelligently reading at the time. Those sneaky ancient Chinese should have some mentorship in this regard.

I decide to wait, which would mean I would be perceived as an absent father and her opinion on the abortion could change (even though I prefer to be at least emotionally supportive if she decided to have the kid)

Doesn't sound bad right?

Wrong.

2 weeks forward she still wants the kid, and alas, I'm accepting my fate: I'm going to be a father at the age of 25.

Conclusions:

While I at least want to be emotionally present, I cannot compromise myself financially on the short-medium term.

Do you overall consider my judgement to be morally correct? How can I approach this situation wisely and intelligently?

I don't recall Sun Tzu to prepare parenthood battle plans, so this where fellow internet redditors take its part.

Thank you.

TL;DR - Got my now ex girlfriend pregnant, she broke up with me for wanting abortion and now I'm going to be a single 25 year old father.

TIFU almost so bad by not unlogging from this Reddit account

I use this Reddit account to mod r/hearhimfuck , watch my porn and answer NSFWAMA when I feel like it. I religiously log off completely after every time because I don't want my partner or anyone knowing about this account. It's the holidays and we are all busy so I had a quick session with myself and ran to get a shower and leave for another family Christmas dinner. My phone stayed in my purse the whole evening. By the end there's 6 of us left and we're sitting in the living room, having mellow conversation. Pets are discussed and photos shown. Someone asks about my dogs so I go fetch my phone and sit back on the couch. As soon as I unlock it, there's a full blown ANAL clip playing. Fortunately, the sound was off. I manage to turn the sound all the way down and shut the app without anyone seeing. TLDR; Iwas THIS close from having hardcore porn blasting surrounded by my parents, my partner, an aunt and a two cousins. I can't imagine the aftermath of what could...

TIFU by fucking my coworker

Happened a couple of days ago, but yeah, as the title says... Oops... We've worked together for about a year now; we've always been friendly, but I never really clocked her as a potential romantic option; she's my coworker, she had a boyfriend when we started working together, and to be honest I just thought she was completely out of my league: I'm a schlub and she is gorgeous So when she texts me asking if we want to hang out after work, I genuinely thought nothing untoward would happen; I thought we were just going to chill and watch cartoons; and for a while we were just having a nice platonic hangout. But we got very drunk, and eventually she was giving me the bedroom eyes and saying we should make out. I very emphatically said that was a bad idea, but she kissed me anyway, and at that point I really lost any semblance of self-restraint.. I am not proud of myself, at all. I can tell myself that she came onto me, but ultimately I also comepletly let it happen. No...

TIFU by shopping on Amazon

So I have an Amazon account, and a family. Anyhow, the person I'm seeing likes to do things with me... try new things if you know what I mean 😏 Recently I've ordered a few packages with adult toys, swing, etc. And... clone a willy. It came in yesterday while I was out. While I was out I got a notification that the cloning kit came in. I sent my son a text asking him to bring my Amazon package in. He said he had already. I didn't think much of it. Until last night when I went to go... use it. I asked my son where the package was on my way out the door. He asked "The plant stand or the cloning kit?". Mind you, the boxes DO NOT say what the contents are, nor were they opened. He must have realized what he said because my face is a goddam story book. I just stood there silent and shocked. He pointed towards the closet. This has been going on for ages, but he has NEVER indicated knowing what's in the packages. So now my teenage son knows his mom is a freak. ...
