TIFU by saying no to a game

TIFU by not throwing away old journal entries and my wife reading through them.

So I wrote these entries at the beginning of the month. Honestly, what I wrote down wasn't good at all. It was about her sister (B) who lives with us. I wrote down that I am starting to catch feelings for B and that I need to get rid of these thoughts I have about B. It all started when we started going out to the club more and B was looking more attractive in my eyes. I knew this wasn't right and it had bothered me for a couple of weeks. So I thought, "Why don't I just write down how I am feeling and then get rid of it." It seemed like a good idea at the time but the issue was that I had procrastinated with throwing the trash away that I had these entries in.

So now this brings me to this weekend, I go out to the store to get some hashbrowns because that's all we were missing for breakfast. When I left I could see that my wife seemed a little different but sometimes she is just in one of those moods. When I got back, I just saw her bawling as her whole world had just fallen apart. I put what I had inside and try talking to her to see what had happened. Then she tells me "You like my sister?". I couldn't even lie about it, I knew immediately how she had found out and I didn't even bother coming up with an excuse. I just had to reassure her that they were just thoughts and not anything I would ever act on.

I love her to death and she is the most beautiful person in the world but I fucked up. I should've just kept those thoughts in my head. I was never going to act on them. I could never do that her. Even if by chance I did, her sister and her are so locked in, I know she wouldn't go for it anyway. I feel like such a piece of shit even if I didn't necessarily do anything psychically. I know she is going through a lot with work and the baby we just had. I watch out baby and take care of the house, while I also go to school. Her sister B helps out a ton with watching our baby as well.

I am starting to realize that maybe the feelings I was feeling weren't what I thought they were. I have always been annoyed by her sister but I think me starting to like her isn't the like I thought it was. I am just starting to like her as a person but at the end of the day I did say other stuff about B in my entries. B is attractive and I don't think that'll ever change for me but it's not to the point that I would cheat with her. B and my wife are literally twins with just different skin tones and a few years apart. I don't think she should be too offended that I find her attractive.

I think it could be how she is feeling since she just had the baby. I would never cheat on this woman. I am not trying to boast but I've been to the club with my friends and have had woman ask for my number and refused to give it to them. Weird how that happens when you are taken but that's besides the point. I don't rea;;y know where I was going with this but it just sucks that I hurt her. I might've made some excuses on here about the situation but I would never make any excuses to her. I think how she is feeling is valid and all I can do is love her harder until we can move on from this or until it keeps bothering her to the point we just need to separate.

We are planning to go to couples counciling because there were other issues bought up like about me not taking her on dates anymore. I still try my best to bring her new flowers every week and stuff like that but I start focusing on one issue and another pops up. I can never keep everything right. I am not even mad or anything, yeah that stuff was private but I just want her to be okay and know I only love her.

TL;DR: I left journal entries about liking my wife's sister in the trash. Wife goes through trash and finds entries, not good.

Just adding that all three have been hanging out together since late July early August. I didn’t really feel this way till mid October when we when out to the club. I wrote things down trying to sort through my thoughts. Write down how I feel and throw it away. Let it go and move on. Unfortunately that didn’t happen.

TIFU By Fumbling My Gym Crush

I've never posted on Reddit before so apologies if anything is off. I (F) had a crush on a man at my gym for months. We would make extended eye contact frequently, workout in proximity, the usual gym things that get over analyzed when you like someone. He's wildly handsome, but I liked his vibe. A lot. It's hard to explain when someone's energy just hits different but his did. One day he started coming in with a woman. The day I saw her with him, he and I actually stared at each other from across the room for a while, and I turned and walked away because obviously gym rules - that's his girlfriend until I'm told otherwise. The eye contact continues and so does the proximity but I've dialed back completely because in my head, he has a girl and I am no home wrecker. Well, recently, on a Sunday, I was having a real shit day. I accidentally hurt my shoulder so my back day was all off, my body wasn't cooperating, the gym was packed - all I wanted to do w...

TIFU by getting called racist for not handing cash to a customer

today I (F18) fucked up by worked a long ahh shift and got put on register. I never hand money in people’s hands as customers have yelled at me for it, and i think it’s germy so I scoot it towards them as a sign of respect. this lady came in and after i did that she goes “Imma need you to do that again and put it in my hand, you did this last time too don’t you know it’s disrespectful” (meanwhile i haven’t worked register in 2 months at said job and didn’t recognize her) so i apologize, and then cuz it’s call off time i go talk to my boss about it and they all agree with me. apparently though she told my keyholder who’s a poc i was being RACIST by not touching her. so i got told i need to do better even though i didn’t do anything. she was insinuating i was a racist. idk if i should quit or what but i fucked up. TL;DR: i’m a dumbass

TIFU by making a joke that landed horribly

I was talking to someone and thought I was being funny, but the second the words left my mouth I knew I had messed up. It was one of those jokes that sounds fine in your head and then just dies completely in real life. Nobody laughed, the mood got awkward instantly, and I could feel my face getting hot because I knew I had just made everything weird for no reason. What made it worse is that I tried to recover from it instead of just shutting up. So then I started talking more, which only made it more obvious that I was panicking. You know that feeling when you can hear yourself getting worse while it’s happening and you still can’t stop? yeah, that was me. I kept trying to act normal, but the whole thing was already gone. After that I just wanted to disappear and pretend it never happened. I’m still thinking about it way more than I should, which somehow makes it even more embarrassing. I really should have just kept my mouth shut for once. TL;DR: I tried to be funny and the joke...
