TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU not treating herpes sooner

I have been dating a woman for a few weeks, mostly just going out to dinner and a small goodnight kiss.

We talk about sex and I mention I have HSV-1, the "cold sore" type of herpes. I'm not here to judge her feelings about it, but she does take the situation very seriously.

I didn't realize that anti viral prep medication could be prescribed for HSV-1, I am just learning about all of this. I, for whatever reason, assumed the anti virals were for a breakout or for HSV-2 prep. So, I scheduled an appointment to talk to my doctor tomorrow about beginning an anti viral treatment for my HSV-1.

Now, this woman that I really like thinks that I am a monster for not having already addressed my herpes.

She's going for an STI test today, I'm hoping she's negative. We didn't even do an open-mouth kiss, so I'm hoping she's negative.

I feel so disgusting. I feel like a monster. I legitimately didn't know better, and I'm currently learning more about my situation. I know, I fucked up because I should have been more educated about a disease I have. I don't have a lot of partners, so this hasn't been an issue in the past. I've never had a cold sore, but I understand that I could still be contagious. I've talked with my few previous partners about my HSV-1 and it never came up that I should be on medication.

I'm not feeling well emotionally and mentally. I'm just trying to give her space while also trying to be supportive. I hope she can forgive me.

In a separate issue, she basically told me that she assumes I am "vanilla" in bed. That hurt my feelings. I'm all fucked up today. There's other stuff going on between us that makes me think that this isn't going to work out, but it's not helping me feel any better right now.

Tl/dr: I should have been better educated about my herpes.

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. ...
