TIFU by planning my husband's 40th birthday party

It's a few weeks before my husband's 40th birthday, we don't usually have big parties, but 40 is special and I want to throw him a big surprise party to celebrate. So I have been planning a big party. I don't have all the numbers of his friends though so I was making a guest list, I secretly checked his phone to get their numbers for the invite.

When I opened his contacts though, I noticed a strange text he had sent a few weeks ago. It read, "Hello, I was wondering if you have any availability tonight? Possibly, late night? Thank you."

"Incall or outcall"

"Incall for after midnight"

This text exchange had occurred when he was on a business trip.

Yep, this was obviously in relation to scheduling an indiscretion... Confused and worried, I started shaking uncontrollably as looked through more of his messages and discovered more messages.

Feeling betrayed and heartbroken with my life shattered into a million pieces, I confronted him about it. I showed him the messages and asked him to explain himself.

At first, he tried to deny it and make excuses. But as I pushed him for answers, he finally broke down and admitted the truth. He's been secretly struggling with an addiction to porn and prostitutes for years. Though he claims he never actually followed through with anything in person, but I can't believe his words now.

So TIFU my life by planning my husband's 40th birthday party.

TL;DR Planned a surprise birthday bash for husband, discovered infidelity on phone when getting numbers for the invite.

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 sh*tting in the bushes at a high school

So I’m training for a local 10k race in a couple months. That’s about 6.2 miles. Not a long race but not a short one either. I’m making good progress and tinkering with what works for me on longer runs, how I can keep my body moving at an easy, consistent pace for about 70-80 minutes. I’ve been increasing the distance over the past few months, prioritizing getting the distance down before I work on pace. I train early mornings at a local high school track within walking distance of my house. They have public hours almost every morning from 6-8 am. It’s a very nice track with good lighting and ✨no public bathrooms✨. Because I’ve been focused on increasing distance I’m waking up earlier and earlier to get to the track and really hammer it out before I go home and shower for work. In turn, I’ve been drinking a little extra COFFEE most mornings get my body going. Til now this hasn’t been a problem, I don’t leave the house until my body takes care of business. I successfully dropped the ...
