TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU by telling my mom the truth

For a bit of context, I'm an 18 years old, and I live in a Muslim household. I've had a problem with my family's religion for many years now. I'd consider myself an atheist, or at the very least agnostic. I can't bring myself to believe one bit in any religion this world has to offer. For a long time that has been fine, I've been able to keep that a secret from my family, until today.

While cleaning the house my mom found some alcohol I'd stashed away in the house and confronted me about it when I got home from uni. We had a long crying session and quite frankly a pretty frustrating argument whilst sobbing. It ended with her telling me to kind of, tidy myself up? so that my father wouldn't suspect anything when he came home.

It seems like my mother is willing to ignore this, at least that's what it looked like today. Whether it be for her mental state's sake, mine or both. After all she had ended the topic telling me to just work hard on my studies, and we haven't spoken about it since. All would be well, if it weren't for the fact that this won't stay a secret. My mom is visibly broken and she looks sick.

In the past 12 hours it feels like my whole world has shattered. While I've lied to my family and acted to be a muslim, I always knew it'd end horribly. I never expected it to be so soon though, and especially not because I had been such an idiot. I've broken my mother, and if my siblings or father learn about this, I will practically have destroyed my life as I know it. Though it feels like that is already the case. I simply do not know what to do and it feels like nothing I do matters anymore, I've already destroyed everything that has been built for me by my parents. It wouldn't hurt as much had my parents not been wonderful. As I lay here in bed I wonder how I could be so lucky with the situation I was born into, and yet I've still found a way to ruin it. We've not always financially been in the best spot, yet I've always had everything I needed given to me, with the only thing asked of me in return is my love and the promise to be a good person. And in my mom's eyes, I've failed in both of those aspects now. I don't know what to do, I don't know what to say. All I know is, for the first time in my life, I'm truly afraid.

I apologize for the horrible formatting and probably the many typo's or grammatical errors in this essay of a text. I'm on my phone and I'm honestly just not motivated to read through it all.

TL;DR : I told my mom I don't believe in Islam and it feels like I've ruined my own world.

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. ...
