TIFU by leaving a bag of condoms out

TIFU. i get condoms every time i go to the clinic for std testing/getting my birth control. i think it’s good to keep on hand even tho my bf and i don’t use them very much, like if i screw up my pills on accident, which i’ve done before.

anyways, i was gone this morning for a meeting and my bf tidied up my place while i was gone, and he came across a bag that had my emergency contraceptive, birth control box, and the godforsaken condoms. i came home shortly after and on the way home he texted me about it. i was able to catch him before he left and i realized how serious he was about it. i didn’t quite understand why since they were all unopened, so in my mind less suspicious, but he seemed really hurt. he had brought up saturday, which was one of my days off and i wanted to spend some time by myself.

on saturday he asked to come over late that night, and i just wasn’t up to seeing anybody. i didn’t feel like tidying up my place or freshening up to see him, i was looking forward to a rare night in by myself, plus i had work early the next morning and because he works late, i would have to stay up late too. he wasn’t really happy to hear that, even after i explained that i was exhausted from the past week and that i’m a loner at heart.

so because of my insistence on being alone and finding the condoms, he thinks i’m seeing someone, and that they came over on saturday. i don’t really know what to do about this since 1) i’m not cheating 2) i would never even think of cheating, i’m not like that and 3) i love him and would never want to hurt him, even though i haven’t done anything to tarnish our relationship, i hate that this has hurt him and wish he would believe me.

now he isn’t really speaking with me, which i get. i hope some space/time will help it. i’ve given him permission to look through my things since i don’t have anything to hide.

so moral of the story, don’t leave condoms out! even if you’re not doing anything shady

TLDR: left a bag of condoms out, boyfriend thinks i’m cheating, i’m not but it looks pretty bad

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 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 ...
