TIFU by going through my wife's phone

Wife (possibly) cheated with her ex

So for context, my wife (F27) and I (M33) have been together for 5 years and married for just over 3 years. We've had some rough spots with arguments and whatnot, but who hasn't? We've never talked about divorce or anything. We had our son last year and life has been pretty good. I never suspected her of cheating or anything despite joking about her "other boyfriend" every now and then. She and I got new phones last weekend because she wanted a new one to take pictures on our first cruise. The cruise went well with no really arguments until the last night right before bed. So all day yesterday we didn't really talk much on the long drive home. Today, she went to her mom's house to sell some of the baby stuff. While she was doing that, I was going to get our old phones ready to ship back for the rebate on the new phones. I was still irritated, so I went through her phone (I know, it was wrong) and found messages with her ex going back to before we were married that I deem as inappropriate. Then some of the less veiled messages occurred when she was pregnant with (what I assume) is my my child. I'm absolutely devastated. I don't know how to come back from this... She and my son are all I have. I don't know what to do. She knows something is wrong because I picked my son up from her and brought him home and she could see the hurt on my face. I told her that we will talk tonight, because she had a concert tonight (also, I know the "we need to talk" would ruin her whole day... ). One of the messages was about using her 10 year reunion as a cover to hook up, which is tonight, but I really think she is actually going to the concert.) I don't know what to do... I don't know if we can come back from this... I'm terrified of leaving because in my state, the woman almost always gets the child in the divorce and I don't want to lose my little best friend. I work a full time job with overtime just to make ends meet so she can stay home with our son. I sold my old house to buy the one we're in now because she wanted it. I do everything for her and this is how she repays me? I have no one to talk to about any of this because her and my some are my world. My mom passed last year and my dad is out of the picture. I'm so hurt and lost... I don't know what I'm going to do...

TL;DR: Went through my wife's phone and found out she was talking about hooking up with her ex

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...
