TIFU by eating chocolate covered pretzels

TIFU by loving and trusting a woman for 3 years.

I've had relationship issues when I was young (girl left me for my friend, then the exact same thing happened with a different girl and different friend a few years later) but around 3 years ago I got back in touch with a girl I met in grade 3, and everything was great, she took my virginity and we began dating shortly after. We went through a lot in 3 years, and my parents lost their house and started living with my sibling so I moved in with her and her family.

I've had trust issues my whole life as well as anxiety and depression, it took a lot for me but I was finally able to trust her and open up. But two days ago she didn't come home from a night out with friends I got scared and worried and was up all night trying to contact her, the next morning she said she was at a hotel with her friends and told me this weeks ago. Then last night when I was on break at work she messaged me and said she cheated, so I went home, packed my bags and am now staying on my sister's couch with no way to work.

We talked last night and she said we just started feeling like roommates and she wanted to talk to me but couldn't, so cheated instead?

Now I'm terrified, worried and alone, it took so much for me to trust someone outside of my family and when I finally felt safe and comfortable the one person I thought I could trust betrayed me and hurt me in the worst way possible, now I have no where to live but couch surfing between friends and family, I have no way to work, and no where to put all my stuff, meanwhile she's fine living a happy life with her family.

TL ; DR have trust issues, anxiety, and depression, and finally was in a trusting relationship with an old friend I grew up with, and lived with, who cheated on me and told me through a text while I was at work, now I'm living on my sister's couch depressed and terrified.

Edit I was terrified to post this thinking it would just be people telling me how I could have done better, but maybe that's just my anxiety talking, thank you everyone for everything, I'm still really nervous but gotta start continuing, I'm at my sister's place for now and my family has room to store my stuff, unfortunately I still have to communicate with her to get my shit back and the rent money I was paying her dad to stay there, I've found a way to work, definitely inconvenient but I'll make it work. Thank you everyone

TIFU - Don’t do what I did

On Sunday morning Aug. 24th, I awoke to discover a large blind spot in my right eye, which turned out to be what is called wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It has resulted in a very significant, permanent loss of vision in that eye. Although I maintain good peripheral vision, whatever I focus on at best is very blurry, and mostly disappears. I can barely make out the large E at the top of the eye chart. If this happens to my left eye I’ll be unable to read or drive. It turns out that I missed the opportunity that I had to prevent this from becoming a serious problem because I failed to report what appeared to be minor changes in my vision. In the weeks prior to August I had noticed that what I knew to be straight lines appeared to my right eye to have a little waviness. I also noticed that the color of my front lawn, which I could see through the window from my recliner,  was subdued, looked almost gray, in my right eye. So I scheduled an eye exam, which revealed the p...

TIFU by getting suspended for 2 days by my front office in school.

I (13M) am an African American student at Jeannette junior high who had got suspended for 2 days here. I was in math class minding my business until my teacher had told me to go to the main office, which posed no problem to me. As i went down there, the people of the front office had stopped me and made me get a new ID (yes, we have id's.) so i had asked them if i could maybe do a different alternative and call my mother to let her bring the Id here, even then, the Id isn't that important. So, although i was talking to them in a calm manner and not showing any signs of rebellion, they had threatened to call the police on me without thinking twice before calling my parents. This is where i started getting angry, and even then now the black peers agree that could have been a racially motivated action. They then told me to sit in the office conference room because of that, leading into more anger. They had then called my mother who had came over to the school didn't even let ...

TIFU by putting my already skinny jeans in the dryer on high heat.

TL;DR: Was stupid and didn't realize I put my clothes on extra high heat in the dryer. Had to rock skintight skinny jeans all day with tighty whities (only clean pair I had since I procrastinate doing laundry like crazy). I guess the constant wedgies and squishing are punishment for my stupidity. Honestly don’t know who else to blame but myself for this. I’m a scatterbrained guy so I literally put the highest setting on a load with most of my clothes, and my skinny jeans that I was planning to wear today. You can probably already see where this is going, but somehow I didn’t. For context, these jeans were already pushing the limits of what could reasonably be called wearable. They fit, technically, but only in the sense that I could get them on with enough determination and a bit of strategic breathing. Sitting down in them was more of a commitment than a casual action. Still, they looked good, and I had convinced myself that discomfort was just part of the aesthetic. So this m...
