TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU by ditching my grieving mother for my now ex girlfriend

So this happened on December 31st 2023. I (M 20) flew about 500 miles to meet my girlfriend for the first time ever. I was saving up for that flight for a while. And had introduced her to my brother and his wife as we both saw a future in each other and she wanted to get closer to my family.

We were a long distance couple and met in a video game and had been together for about 4 years but never met in real life.

So anyway, I lied to my strict af parents that I have a game coming up in a nearby city and I will be staying there for a few days.

On December 30th's night, mom gets a call that her sister passed away, she was grieving really bad. I had an early flight next morning. I felt really bad leaving her in that state to meet my girlfriend but I did wait four years for this day.

Anyway, we spent December 31st to January 4th together. We did all the couple stuff we had dreaded to do for years. Laughed, danced, cut a cake, ate, slept, cried and whatnot. I felt alive, happy, I cried when I realised my trip was coming to an end.

All was good when I came back home, though the guilt of leaving my mother was eating me alive. She was doing better now.

A month goes by, my personal life became kind of a mess, i had massive arguments with dad and then on Feb 12th my girlfriend texted me that she needs a break. She told me that I didn't put enough efforts.

On Feb 22nd, we had a long talk on call, it was ugly, I cried, begged, but ultimately nothing worked. She dumped me. She told me she didn't love me anymore, that she fell in love with her boy best friend.

Since then, I've felt like I died every single day. To introduce someone to your family, planning your life out, dreaming of a future, ditching your grieving mother for that person, and then she just dumps you, out of the blue.

TL;DR: I left my grieving mother to meet my long distance girlfriend and she dumped me the very next month.

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. ...
