TIFU by losing my cellphone at the grocery store

TIFU by reading Facebook messages from my ex of +10 years ago.

Today out of boredom I logged into my Facebook for the first time in years. I ended up going to my Facebook messages and seeing a bunch of old messages. Out of curiosity, I scrolled down to see how far back I can go. It was super interesting to me, it's like a time capsule. Welp, I stumbled upon messages between me and my ex.

As a background, she was the one that got away. We were high school sweethearts that continued dating through college. We dated for 4.5 years. We were head over heels in love with each other. Her family loved me, and my family loved her. This sounds cliche but I knew from the day that I met her that I wanted to marry this girl. She was sweet, kind, beautiful, smart, thoughtful, honest, funny, and we got along so well together. It was really like we were made for each other.

Well, college did as college does to us ( we went to different colleges). We were both each other's first, and she clearly got a lot of attention from other guys, and started to think "is LobsterCoordinates really going to be my first and last?". She wanted to "see what else is out there for her", and in hindsight I don't blame her and I'm not mad at her for it, we met at a young age and she had every right to do this.

Anyway, it took many, MANY years to get to a point where I wasn't sad over the break up. We broke up in 2013 and 2017 was when I was at a point where I could think about our relationship and it not make me sad. To this day, I still think about our relationship very frequently. I don't think I will ever completely get over that relationship, but I can't let that put a pause on my life. I needed to accept that it was over, accept that I may never fully heal from it, and move on with my life. So I did, and I'm at a point now where I'm happy and no longer feel sad thinking about the relationship.

Until I read those messages.

She is married with a child, I am married with a child. I have a successful career, a house, and a great relationship with my wife. I love her and my son, I really do. But reading those messages reminded me of how different my love for my my high school sweetheart was. I will never experience that sort of love ever again. Just her existence in my life made me feel so fulfilled, like nothing else mattered. Reading those messages reminded me of how much we loved each other, and what that felt like. It made me miss those days that I'll never be able to get back.

Ah fuck me. Don't read old Facebook messages if you're not ready to relive the past.

TL;DR: I read 10+ year-old Facebook messages between me and my ex, and re-lived our love, and the feeling of losing her.

TIFU by walking into a glass door.

This just happened barely 30 minutes ago. Ended up with a nose bleed and some of the worst nose pain in my life. I can’t even wear glasses without the pressure hurting my nose. So, how did I make the same fuck up a bird would? I put on my sunglasses to leave an appointment and ended up walking nose first into a glass door. Shambling back in shock, I had no damn clue what I had just done. It shocked me so bad that I didn’t comprehend it until I felt liquid drip down my nose. I had turned into the world’s bloodiest leaking faucet. Someone witnessed this in their periphery and asked me if they needed to phone someone. In a panic I basically wailed for them not to, even though I would soon freak out and think I need an ambulance. Someone else came by and ended up giving me paper towels, which quickly looked like I had murdered a mouse with them. My nosebleed soon stopped but not before someone else checked on me. TLDR; fought a glass door and lost. I do not envy the janitorial staff. ...

TIFU by asking my boss why his cock got hard on my leg.

***not a fake post. I’m F 32, He was standing over one of my legs while I was sitting in front of him facing him (spinal adjustment) and he spread my knees with his leg, put his hand on my stomach and then there was a ton of sexual tension and I felt his cock grow into my leg and then start to fill with blood and then twitch on my leg. My boss has been leading me on for two years in subtle ways. Lots of waist pinching, close moments, and “were you good while I was away(s)?” Mostly breadcrumbing himself out to me while his wife (who I also work with) became increasingly hostile towards me. He is someone who has been a mentor to me for ten years. The two of them seem to be having marital problems on and off. The other month, while in close proximity, he started to get hard on my leg and moved when he noticed. A while later, I asked for an open conversation on the attraction between us and what to do about it. It has been distressing me and I had reached my limit. I figured since we’ve...

TIFU by going through my girlfriend’s old photos

My girlfriend and I have been together for 9 months or so and things have been up and down but I love her a lot and she loves me a lot. We’re both 20 and she’s had a lot more experience sexually than I have and this has always bothered me but besides that we have a pretty good relationship. We’ve talked about our pasts and she’s had some pretty bad experiences that caused her to kind of go off the rails up until we met. She’s all in on me and I’m all in on her and she’s expressed a lot of regret about her past choices and I’ve tried to be as understanding as possible but I’ve always had some insecurity regarding it. Well anyways last night I was on her laptop and saw her photos were linked to it and I stupidly clicked on it and started going through them. Don’t need anyone telling me that it was dumb and an invasion of privacy because I really realize that now and I will never be going through any of her stuff again. Anyways I ended up seeing a lot of shit. Clicked on a folder that...
