TIFU by grinning and bearing it

So I've (30M) have been married to my husband (30M) for almost three years now. I can't imagine my life without him, he's amazing and I love him with all my heart and soul. Right now we have a financial arrangement where he stays home most of the time and takes care of the house and I work full time. It works really well for us - I make enough money for us to do fine and he really loves taking care of the house and getting to be a house husband.

This means he also does most of the cooking. He's usually a very good cook, but a few weeks back he decided to make pizza as a quick lazy meal. He got distracted, and it got burnt. Not burnt to a crisp or inedible, but definitely dark. He was very upset, because he sometimes feels like he isn't pulling his weight if he's not doing perfectly at taking care of the house/cooking, and tbh I was really hungry and have a strong stomach. So I told him it was fine and ate the pizza. It wasn't even that bad, just, you know, darker and crispier than normal, and I wanted to make him feel better. I told him I liked it - which was only a little bit of a lie, pizza is pizza - and we moved on.

Well, he's made pizza a couple times since then and it's been dark every time. Not like the first time, but definitely darker than it's ever been before. Pizza is pizza and he's a good cook so I've just eaten it, but last night we had pizza again, and he off hand commented that "I know you like it darker."

So he's been mildly burning our pizza because he thinks I like it and I don't know if I'm gonna be able to tell him I don't or if I'm just gonna have to eat burnt pizza for the rest of my life.

TL;DR I told my husband I liked his burnt pizza so he wouldn't be sad and now he thinks I like burnt pizza.

Edit: wrote part time instead of full time, where on the planet would that even be possible lol

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 ...
