TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU by sending my ex on a dream vacation to Barcelona

Mobile format, apologies.

TIFU… or should I say over the course of the last year I’ve FU by being so completely blind at what was going on. I basically had met my ex and we began a long distance relationship that was working pretty well (I thought) due to the fact that my job allows me to freely travel for little to no cost. It is also a benefit because I can have a travel companion for virtually nothing as well. I met someone and fell in love. Head over heels. He wanted to go to places like Cuba, New York, etc and I made it happen as soon as I could. I consider experiences a love language. AND I WAS IN LOVE!

Anyway, a couple months ago the relationship was on a decline. Our work schedules weren’t aligning and it made it difficult to see each other. In turn , this made any kind of arguments or disagreements worse because we couldn't be together to fully discuss and hash things out face to face. One day he called me to ask for a break and I simply replied with a "yeah, it could be a break for good." I don't really believe breaks are beneficial. For me, you either stick it out and work on the issues or leave. Although my heart was ripped to shreds, it was mostly an amicable break.

I told him we could stay friends and if he needed help with traveling my benefits still have him tacked on so there is no use in wasting them. Here is where i FU… i figured he'd use the benefits to see his friends that are stateside (he lives in the Caribbean) or visit his family or something along those lines. Nope, after ignoring me for a while he popped up out of nowhere and asked for me to send him to Barcelona. This was obviously a big ask but virtually no cost to me, and I stupidly figured this was an olive branch to us remaining friends/part of each others lives. Maybe he was going through something and needed some soul searching and a reset.

After he comes back from vacation it is his birthday and he starts posting online pictures of him and his friends over the last year. This is how I found out he had been dating someone else during the time we were together. Even better, he had gone to Barcelona with this person and had a beautiful dream of a vacation. Unknowingly, I sent my ex that i was still in love with on a romantic vacation with someone he had been cheating on me with over the course of our relationship! OUCH!

TL;DR I sent my ex on a romantic vacation to Barcelona with a girl he'd been cheating on me with throughout our relationship

TIFU almost so bad by not unlogging from this Reddit account

I use this Reddit account to mod r/hearhimfuck , watch my porn and answer NSFWAMA when I feel like it. I religiously log off completely after every time because I don't want my partner or anyone knowing about this account. It's the holidays and we are all busy so I had a quick session with myself and ran to get a shower and leave for another family Christmas dinner. My phone stayed in my purse the whole evening. By the end there's 6 of us left and we're sitting in the living room, having mellow conversation. Pets are discussed and photos shown. Someone asks about my dogs so I go fetch my phone and sit back on the couch. As soon as I unlock it, there's a full blown ANAL clip playing. Fortunately, the sound was off. I manage to turn the sound all the way down and shut the app without anyone seeing. TLDR; Iwas THIS close from having hardcore porn blasting surrounded by my parents, my partner, an aunt and a two cousins. I can't imagine the aftermath of what could...

TIFU by fucking my coworker

Happened a couple of days ago, but yeah, as the title says... Oops... We've worked together for about a year now; we've always been friendly, but I never really clocked her as a potential romantic option; she's my coworker, she had a boyfriend when we started working together, and to be honest I just thought she was completely out of my league: I'm a schlub and she is gorgeous So when she texts me asking if we want to hang out after work, I genuinely thought nothing untoward would happen; I thought we were just going to chill and watch cartoons; and for a while we were just having a nice platonic hangout. But we got very drunk, and eventually she was giving me the bedroom eyes and saying we should make out. I very emphatically said that was a bad idea, but she kissed me anyway, and at that point I really lost any semblance of self-restraint.. I am not proud of myself, at all. I can tell myself that she came onto me, but ultimately I also comepletly let it happen. No...

TIFU by shopping on Amazon

So I have an Amazon account, and a family. Anyhow, the person I'm seeing likes to do things with me... try new things if you know what I mean 😏 Recently I've ordered a few packages with adult toys, swing, etc. And... clone a willy. It came in yesterday while I was out. While I was out I got a notification that the cloning kit came in. I sent my son a text asking him to bring my Amazon package in. He said he had already. I didn't think much of it. Until last night when I went to go... use it. I asked my son where the package was on my way out the door. He asked "The plant stand or the cloning kit?". Mind you, the boxes DO NOT say what the contents are, nor were they opened. He must have realized what he said because my face is a goddam story book. I just stood there silent and shocked. He pointed towards the closet. This has been going on for ages, but he has NEVER indicated knowing what's in the packages. So now my teenage son knows his mom is a freak. ...
