TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

Post a Comment

TIFU by being inconsiderate of my (26F) partner’s (24M) time.

I (26F) was not considerate of my partner's (24M) time and spilled all my emotions even though I promised not to. I was having a rough day and came to grab my computer from his apartment. He brought it out to me— a clear indication I now realize that he was busy and did not have time for chatting. He knew I was upset and of course gave me a hug but then went to go inside. I asked if I could come in for a glass of water to which he responded yes. I came in, filled my water and immediately started sobbing. He hugged me and comforted me but after about ten minutes said he had a deadline that day and needed to work. I said you’re right but just couldn’t keep it together and ended up taking up a whole hour of his time in his apartment. I truly value his time and he NEVER communicates to me that he needs space unless it’s mandatory so I really appreciate him for doing this. But I feel like a horrible girlfriend because I was crying so hard and ignored him when he politely asked for space after hugging me and doing breathing exercises with me. How can I be more mindful of his time and manage my emotions better so I don’t spill over? Do you guys have any techniques for both parties in this situation? I truly just want to be a considerate girlfriend and want to find an outlet for the few times that my partner cannot meet my emotional needs.

Thank you!

TLDR: I didn’t manage my emotions even when my partner asked for space due to a work deadline.

Edit: To clarify I am getting professional help and I am on medication for GAD and MDD. All in all I was there an hour so I probably only cried around 15 minutes after explaining the situation and then apologized profusely after which definitely took some time. Apologies for misrepresenting the time aspect. I edit the post to reflect that.

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. ...
