TIFU: By listening in to a conversation my gf was having that I definitely shouldn't have heard

Disclaimer: Not putting ages or the correct initials for the people involved because I'm not sure if the friend has reddit or not. We're all college aged, lets just keep it at that.

A little back story

So I (FtM) and my girlfriend we'll call T, have been together for close to 3 years now. I mention that I'm trans because it's relevant to the story. Since starting HRT I've experienced low libido, and very rarely am I ever actually turned on anymore. We've talked about it several times, she says it's okay and that she can do nothing but accept it and support me. A couple months ago we go on a trip to see my family (we're across the country from them), and it's tense at first but we managed to get back into a rhythm and find our flow again. We had more sex during that time than we had had in months and even experimented a little bit. We found new things to try and enjoyed them all! Well, we fly back and I essentially just can't get it up anymore. We also recently moved in with each other and 2 roommates. We each have our own room as thats how the lease is set up.

Today

Tonight I was getting read for bed when I heard her hush talking on the phone in her room. Now, our walls are very thin and I could kind of hear what she was saying so I put my ear up to the wall and this is where I fucked up. She was talking to our mutual friend about how she just wants to fuck a man. I'm realizing lately that because I don't actually have a penis, it's hard for me to even want sex so this really stung. Our mutual friend (M) is mostly T's friend but we get along great still. Anyway, M is talking T through her options and mentions breaking up. This is where I found out she's been thinking about it for the last 2 months and is going to be having a conversation with me tomorrow night after we're both done with our classes. The last bit I couldn't quite hear, but from what I could this is what I understood: M was saying that if I reacted one way then go with one option and if I react another way then just break up with me. I get that not having sex is difficult for a lot of people and it's a necessary part of their relationships, but fuck man. I feel so defeated.

TL;DR: Girlfriend wants to fuck a man, and I can't provide it because I have low libido and am very dysphoric. She's thinking about breaking off a 3 year relationship because of it.

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...
