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 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 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 ...
