TIFU by losing my cellphone at the grocery store

TIFU my life

Never thought I’d be sharing something like this, but here I am. I’m an immigrant who moved to a new country full of dreams and hopes. After two years in a degree I thought would help me, I realized it wasn’t worth it. I’ve been trying to break into finance and just completed Level 1 of the CFA, but the journey has been lonely and isolating.

I’m working in a low-growth job, far from my family, and it’s taking a toll on me. To make matters worse, I’ve struggled with porn addiction for eight years, which got worse when I found myself alone. The only support I’ve had during this time is from my long-distance girlfriend, who’s been incredible despite her busy schedule.

Recently, while trying to quit porn, I had a night where cravings hit me hard. I tried to avoid giving in by scrolling through social media and stumbled upon a site for anonymous sexting. I thought I’d give it a shot, but within a minute, I felt sick to my stomach and realized I made a mistake. It’s been five days since that moment, and I’ve managed to stay away from porn, which is the longest I’ve gone in years.

I opened up to my girlfriend about my struggles, and it hurt her deeply. Now, she’s contemplating whether to stay with me or not, struggling to trust me again.

She means the world to me and I’ve failed her and our relationship. I’m just a failure. I’m consumed by guilt and sadness, wishing it were me suffering alone instead of her. I had dreams of marrying this girl, and now I see her potentially leaving because of my mistakes. The last five days have been a blur of tears, and I find myself hiding away at work just to cope.

I’m not looking for sympathy, just a space to express my feelings.

TL;DR: I fucked up a beautiful relationship due to my addiction.

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...
