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 - 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...
