TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

Post a Comment

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 almost so bad by not unlogging from this Reddit account

I use this Reddit account to mod r/hearhimfuck , watch my porn and answer NSFWAMA when I feel like it. I religiously log off completely after every time because I don't want my partner or anyone knowing about this account. It's the holidays and we are all busy so I had a quick session with myself and ran to get a shower and leave for another family Christmas dinner. My phone stayed in my purse the whole evening. By the end there's 6 of us left and we're sitting in the living room, having mellow conversation. Pets are discussed and photos shown. Someone asks about my dogs so I go fetch my phone and sit back on the couch. As soon as I unlock it, there's a full blown ANAL clip playing. Fortunately, the sound was off. I manage to turn the sound all the way down and shut the app without anyone seeing. TLDR; Iwas THIS close from having hardcore porn blasting surrounded by my parents, my partner, an aunt and a two cousins. I can't imagine the aftermath of what could...

TIFU by fucking my coworker

Happened a couple of days ago, but yeah, as the title says... Oops... We've worked together for about a year now; we've always been friendly, but I never really clocked her as a potential romantic option; she's my coworker, she had a boyfriend when we started working together, and to be honest I just thought she was completely out of my league: I'm a schlub and she is gorgeous So when she texts me asking if we want to hang out after work, I genuinely thought nothing untoward would happen; I thought we were just going to chill and watch cartoons; and for a while we were just having a nice platonic hangout. But we got very drunk, and eventually she was giving me the bedroom eyes and saying we should make out. I very emphatically said that was a bad idea, but she kissed me anyway, and at that point I really lost any semblance of self-restraint.. I am not proud of myself, at all. I can tell myself that she came onto me, but ultimately I also comepletly let it happen. No...

TIFU by shopping on Amazon

So I have an Amazon account, and a family. Anyhow, the person I'm seeing likes to do things with me... try new things if you know what I mean 😏 Recently I've ordered a few packages with adult toys, swing, etc. And... clone a willy. It came in yesterday while I was out. While I was out I got a notification that the cloning kit came in. I sent my son a text asking him to bring my Amazon package in. He said he had already. I didn't think much of it. Until last night when I went to go... use it. I asked my son where the package was on my way out the door. He asked "The plant stand or the cloning kit?". Mind you, the boxes DO NOT say what the contents are, nor were they opened. He must have realized what he said because my face is a goddam story book. I just stood there silent and shocked. He pointed towards the closet. This has been going on for ages, but he has NEVER indicated knowing what's in the packages. So now my teenage son knows his mom is a freak. ...
