TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU accidentally admitting I haven't planned a proposal (yet) for the upcoming trip

TL;DR I fucked up by saying I don't have a specific plan for an engagement during a trip soon, which was my only responsibility.

My and my girlfriend know that we want to get married within a year and I am already researching/shopping for a ring. But we had a small fight yesterday during which I accidentally slipped that I haven't planned, or decided to plan, the proposal to be during our trip which is in less than three weeks.

My excuses are pretty weak, I was working a lot the past 4 weeks and just didn't wrap my head around the topic fully. I know she dreams of a romantic proposal during the trip - just haven't connected the dots yet. We are both very practical people and only the proposal needed to be romantic and generally great.

I simply wasn't thinking about the trip just yet, was planning to get around to thinking about all that next week, now that work has subdued a bit.

So I said something like "I wasn't planning to" but meant "I wasn't planning/thinking about it yet" and this is where I fucked up.

She is furious and says I ruined it because she assumes I wouldn't have done it during the trip... So it quickly devolved into a pretty nasty fight, and we almost never fight.

Not sure what I'm going to do about it, I already apologized a hundred times and said I was just busy but she says (and I admit) it's a weak excuse.

So yeah it's a TIFU through and through and I'm at a complete loss. My body and mind are numb with dread, I am paralyzed and confused as hell.

I want to fix it very badly but just don't know what to do. Now she says I missed my opportunity and I can't say anything to appease 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. ...
