TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

Tifu by bailing on my boyfriend’s family’s Christmas

I love him with all my heart and met his huge family for the first time since we started dating 6 months ago. The day began with his father picking Fox News-fueled political fights with me every time my bf left the room. I’d literally be sitting on the sofa and my bf would get up to help with something in the kitchen and his dad would ask for my opinion on something controversial out of the blue (kneeling during football national anthems; the demise of the coal industry; Trump v Biden; you name it). Had to meet about six thousand extended family members who all knew each other and like to argue. Bf made some sexist comments at my expense that made me want to die of cringe.

I became acutely aware that aside from myself all the women were busting their asses in the kitchen and the men/boys were doing jack shit and the vibe felt gross. To boot, my own family not only made zero effort to contact me and wish me a merry Christmas but didn’t respond to my texts attempting to do the same. I had slept terribly the night before after driving all day. Dinner wasn’t going to be ready until 9:30 pm and i also hadn’t eaten anything other than half a portion of beef jerky since 12/23. I felt literally sick and tired and i just… left.

Now my bf thinks I’m a brat and his family likely hates me. I realized that the secret santa gift for bf’s dad that i paid for was still in the trunk of the car so I did drive back over there so bf could get it but that’s it. I was done. I haven’t had a nice Christmas since childhood and i just hate this holiday. All i see are happy stories everywhere and all this good cheer and I can’t relate.

TL;DR i just kind of lost it and couldn’t cope with my boyfriend’s huge family Christmas and now his family thinks I’m an asshole. I guess i am.

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. ...
