TIFU by eating beef jerky

TIFU by cheating on my bf during the talking stage

TIFU

so when my current bf (James) and I where in the talking stage I started in mid November my coworker also asked me and James and I agreed on no labels because we where going off to college soon. One thing lead to another and my coworker and I began sexting in December but it was very short lived and I have never contacted him again and we don't work together anymore. James and I began officially dating in late march and things where going great.

The other night he went through my phone while I was asleep and found the messages between my coworker and I. He left in the middle of the night and I didn't wake up until the morning and found he was gone he turned off his location and ignored my calls.

We talked over iMessage and I didn't deny anything and wanted to regain his trust and wanted to know how he felt. All of his feelings and actions where valid. He told me he felt disrespected, betrayed, and said that "I honestly do want just let go and move on but I'm just so worried that it'd be a mistake" and then also said "Just give me some time I honestly love you too but right now I'm really close to calling it. this isn't me trying to punish you but I just feel so betrayed and disrespected".

We have mutual friends and I went to one that I'm close with and he and his current GF went through something similar when they first started talking so he's helping me. He said that because he responded and the way that he did he might be willing to "work things out" but I feel so crumbled up inside knowing that i hurt him. I want to be by his side even if I messed up and he's angry and yelling at me i deserve that I just want to be their for him no matter what and I did this to myself. I know this isn't a pity party for me because I'm the one that messed up but I cant have an overwhelming fear that I'm going to loose him.

I haven't been able to sleep or eat- I cant even sleep on my stomach cuddling the pillow anymore without crying because I don't know if I would ever be able to hug him again. I bought the same deodorant as him because I liked the way he smelled and now everything smells like him.

I reached out to my BF later in the evening saying that I should've never risked us, and that id do anything. explaining how I felt, and why I didn't tell him. I was scared and we are so good together that I never wanted to bring that up because I was scared of the outcomes. I also said that I have no justification for my actions and that I take full responsibility for my actions. I also said id give him full access to all of my socials, emails, etc. as well as my journals.

I then began researching about infidelity its consequences to your partner, how to work through it, and how to approach it. I then said id do anything to regain your trust and you but I wont force you to be with me. It's really if you're willing to forgive me and truly want to be with me. he then responded with I know and that's what I'm trying to figure out. I texted him goodnight and that if he wanted I was free tomorrow (today) to see each other but no pressure and I respect your decision and ended it with I love you goodnight. he didn't respond last night to my text and then I messaged him how are you and he left me on delivered.

I'm not sure what to do he's betrayed my trust by breaking promises but I let him come over even if I wanted space- I know this is a lot worse but I just want to see him and call him. I just want to fix this, and I know I messed up majorly but during the relationship I have been nothing but faithful. I have no justification for my actions and I want to rebuild this but I'm not sure where to start and how long I should wait. I am so deeply in love with this man I don't want a past mistake I made effect our future. I can only imagine the pain I caused him and I never wanted to be the source of it. He is my everything and these feelings came after the coworker infidelity- I'm so lost ill update when I know something

TL;DR: summary-> When my BF and i started talking I also began talking to my coworker for about a month and then stopped- Bf and i started officially dating in march and the other night he went through my phone while i was asleep and found the messages between coworker and I. He left that night while i was asleep and i called him in the morning but he turned his location off. we texted and he wants space right now.

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 getting called racist for not handing cash to a customer

today I (F18) fucked up by worked a long ahh shift and got put on register. I never hand money in people’s hands as customers have yelled at me for it, and i think it’s germy so I scoot it towards them as a sign of respect. this lady came in and after i did that she goes “Imma need you to do that again and put it in my hand, you did this last time too don’t you know it’s disrespectful” (meanwhile i haven’t worked register in 2 months at said job and didn’t recognize her) so i apologize, and then cuz it’s call off time i go talk to my boss about it and they all agree with me. apparently though she told my keyholder who’s a poc i was being RACIST by not touching her. so i got told i need to do better even though i didn’t do anything. she was insinuating i was a racist. idk if i should quit or what but i fucked up. TL;DR: i’m a dumbass

TIFU by making a joke that landed horribly

I was talking to someone and thought I was being funny, but the second the words left my mouth I knew I had messed up. It was one of those jokes that sounds fine in your head and then just dies completely in real life. Nobody laughed, the mood got awkward instantly, and I could feel my face getting hot because I knew I had just made everything weird for no reason. What made it worse is that I tried to recover from it instead of just shutting up. So then I started talking more, which only made it more obvious that I was panicking. You know that feeling when you can hear yourself getting worse while it’s happening and you still can’t stop? yeah, that was me. I kept trying to act normal, but the whole thing was already gone. After that I just wanted to disappear and pretend it never happened. I’m still thinking about it way more than I should, which somehow makes it even more embarrassing. I really should have just kept my mouth shut for once. TL;DR: I tried to be funny and the joke...
