TIFU by laughing when my boyfriend confessed that he wanted me to be jealous

To keep this short, I 19 F have a boyfriend, Derek 19 M we’ve been dating for a little over a year now. Derek is the older brother of one of the kids I babysit and he’s really amazing he’s smart kind goofy and I love the relationship that he has with his younger sister. Our only problem is his best friend Destiny CONSTANTLY brings up his ex gf Tiffany. Derek and Tiffany dated for most of their highschool life up until senior year. I’ve met Tiffany and she’s cool and I’m cool too so we’re cool. Destiny tho? Not so cool. Whenever we hang out destiny finds some way to bring up the times when Tiffany and Derek were together i don’t really mind because the stories are funny. One thing that Derek and Tiffany had in common was their love for horses. For his 16th birthday his Dereks dad brought him a horse and he had once brought Tiffany to the ranch where she is to ride her and I honestly think that’s rlly cool and told him that we should definitely do that. I didn’t realize it then but recently when Derek and I were at his house watching a movie he told me if what Destiny was saying bothered me i didn’t have to fake interest and hide it. I told him that i had no idea what he was talking about. And he explained that Destiny was constantly bringing up Tiffany to me to make me jealous. I told him that was ridiculous because while Tiffany is great she’s also a lesbian which is one of the reasons they broke up. I then asked him if he wanted me to be jealous. He took a while to respond but eventually said yes. I couldn’t help it and started laughing bc I love this dude so much but laughing turned out to be the worst choice of action seeing as how he quickly grabbed his coat and left before I could even say anything. I’ve been texting him all night trying to explain that I wasn’t laughing bc i didn’t love him but at the fact that he thinks I’m not jealous. I am, but not of Tiffany of Destiny. Like she’s been his best friend since middle school I can’t compete with a best friend since middle school bc no one can compete with mine.

TL;DR TIFU by laughing during a serious conversation with my boyfriend when he told me he wanted me to feel jealous and might have possibly ruined my relationship with an amazing dude how do i fix this?

TIFU - Don’t do what I did

On Sunday morning Aug. 24th, I awoke to discover a large blind spot in my right eye, which turned out to be what is called wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It has resulted in a very significant, permanent loss of vision in that eye. Although I maintain good peripheral vision, whatever I focus on at best is very blurry, and mostly disappears. I can barely make out the large E at the top of the eye chart. If this happens to my left eye I’ll be unable to read or drive. It turns out that I missed the opportunity that I had to prevent this from becoming a serious problem because I failed to report what appeared to be minor changes in my vision. In the weeks prior to August I had noticed that what I knew to be straight lines appeared to my right eye to have a little waviness. I also noticed that the color of my front lawn, which I could see through the window from my recliner,  was subdued, looked almost gray, in my right eye. So I scheduled an eye exam, which revealed the p...

TIFU by getting suspended for 2 days by my front office in school.

I (13M) am an African American student at Jeannette junior high who had got suspended for 2 days here. I was in math class minding my business until my teacher had told me to go to the main office, which posed no problem to me. As i went down there, the people of the front office had stopped me and made me get a new ID (yes, we have id's.) so i had asked them if i could maybe do a different alternative and call my mother to let her bring the Id here, even then, the Id isn't that important. So, although i was talking to them in a calm manner and not showing any signs of rebellion, they had threatened to call the police on me without thinking twice before calling my parents. This is where i started getting angry, and even then now the black peers agree that could have been a racially motivated action. They then told me to sit in the office conference room because of that, leading into more anger. They had then called my mother who had came over to the school didn't even let ...

TIFU by putting my already skinny jeans in the dryer on high heat.

TL;DR: Was stupid and didn't realize I put my clothes on extra high heat in the dryer. Had to rock skintight skinny jeans all day with tighty whities (only clean pair I had since I procrastinate doing laundry like crazy). I guess the constant wedgies and squishing are punishment for my stupidity. Honestly don’t know who else to blame but myself for this. I’m a scatterbrained guy so I literally put the highest setting on a load with most of my clothes, and my skinny jeans that I was planning to wear today. You can probably already see where this is going, but somehow I didn’t. For context, these jeans were already pushing the limits of what could reasonably be called wearable. They fit, technically, but only in the sense that I could get them on with enough determination and a bit of strategic breathing. Sitting down in them was more of a commitment than a casual action. Still, they looked good, and I had convinced myself that discomfort was just part of the aesthetic. So this m...
