TIFU by losing my cellphone at the grocery store

TIFU by calling my girlfriend's highschool self ugly

I M24 and my girlfriend F22 have been dating for 2 years. My girlfriend is a bit self conscious because of the way she got treated in highschool. She jokes about how her awkward phase made her funny and generally makes a lot of self depreciating jokes. Especially between her and her friends, her friends are pretty similar to her so it isn't weird to them.

But it's weird to me, so I never entertain her jokes. Until this morning, because I'm an idiot.

So for context

My girlfriend likes to joke and call me a Disney Channel jock because I was a stereotypical popular football player and I did admit to her that I was kind of a bully. Dating her has kind of made me realized the way I treated others back in the day most likely left lasting scars which is why I've made it a point to not indulge in any of her self depreciating jokes.

This morning she decided to show me her highschool pictures for fun. We start looking through them and she starts joking about how she looked like a stock image of a nerd and that we should have met in highschool and been one of those coming of age nerd girl and jock couples who win prom king and queen. She's snickering and starts saying she's kidding.

Instead of being smart and just agreeing I decided to be an idiot and said that I'd probably push her into a locker. She looks at me and asked if I would have really done that and I laughed and said of course. Then to rub salt on the wound I said I would have never dated your ugly a** you definitely had a glow up.

It gets quiet and the snickering I heard before from her was gone and I look up and she has tears in her eyes. I get up and start apologizing but it was to late. I keep trying to apologize to her but she won't speak to me. She's just been sitting in the corner of the couch and is fidgeting with her hands. She doesn't even seem mad at me, she looks ashamed.

I feel awful, I felt like I did a lot to change after highschool to better myself and change. Yet I just said something so awful because I wasn't actively censoring myself.

Tl:dr I called my self conscious girlfriend's highschool self ugly after she made a teen movie trope joke and now she's sad and I can't fix it.

Edit: I haven't slept, I made breakfast for her this morning when she woke up. She finally spoked to me a few hours ago asking if I slept, I told her no. I asked her if we could talk now and she told me yeah.

She said that she knows I would have bullied her in highschool and even though she knows I was joking she knows it's true. She said that because of that she can't handle me making jokes like that and apologized for trying to force me to make jokes like that with her all the time.

I told her that I went overboard and I shouldn't have called her ugly. I said we wouldn't have dated in highschool because my highschool self would have thought she was "ugly" . It would have been because I was a bad person. That I completely understood that I shouldn't make those jokes with her and I won't do it again.

I want to mention my girlfriend started highschool early kind of, she was 13 when she began I was 15 when I started. So I decided to show her all my awful 13 year old pictures so she can crap on them. She didn't 😅 she said I looked cute. I wish we knew eachother when I was 13 I probably would have been a much less angry person. I got bullied and started hitting the gym so instead of solving my issues I just took it out on everyone else and became a bully myself.

Anyway thank you guys for shitting on me I deserved it, I'm going to go now and take her on a picnic or something that involves going outside.

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...
