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 - 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...
