TIFU by giving my GF of 5 years genital herpes

I found out that I gave my long-distance girlfriend genital herpes today from a visitation 2 weeks ago. She has the bumps, symptoms, and is going to get tested later today, but we're basically 99.9% positive it is genital herpes. We both have had no sexual partners prior to one another (except 1 for me over 10 years ago). Me and my girlfriend have both gotten cold-sores growing up, so we both have knowingly had HSV-1 (Herpes Simplex-1, the cold sore virus).

I had no clue that not only can you give someone genital herpes from carrying the cold sore virus, but you can also give them genital herpes EVEN IF YOU DON'T HAVE A COLDSORE (albeit, much more rare).

Our general understanding from the research we've done over the past 2 hours, is that HSV-1&2 are 2 different strains of the same virus. HSV-1 spreads through contact with the virus in saliva or skin. It usually affects your mouth and face. HSV-2 spreads through sexual contact and usually affects your genitals. Although either form of HSV can show up on any area of skin that comes into contact with the virus. So it seems like I have given her HSV-1 genital herpes through oral sex despite having no cold sore, although we will find out soon enough with testing.

We live in different countries, we don't get the opportunity to be sexually active often, I've never had a cold sore while we've been together in person. If I would have had a cold sore while we were together in person at any point, I definitely would of googled it to find out if it's okay to go down on someone with a coldsore and found out that there is a chance that you can give someone genital herpes even if you don't have a coldsore. However, I don't think that would of stopped us from ever doing oral sex again and we would likely be in the same boat because the research indicates that it's significantly rare to pass along HSV-1 with no coldsore during oral sex, but it still would of been nice to know that it was a possibility so we could weigh the risks.

TL;DR: I didn't know you could give someone genital herpes if you carry HSV-1, and despite not having a coldsore, I gave my girlfriend genital herpes via oral sex.

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...
