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 - 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...
