TIFU by forgetting my husband’s birthday steaks

My husband turned 32 this weekend and I (F28) arranged a small family birthday party for him at his parents’ house, as we were visiting them over Easter. As a present from his brother he got two pieces of specially marinated steaks, sourced from a local seller with a secret sauce. He didn’t really get any other presents except for a chocolate bunny from his older sister and a small gift from me. When we were packing our things to travel home this morning, I was tasked to pack refrigerated things into the cooler, preparing for our 6 hour drive home accross the country. I was asked then if I remembered to pack the steaks (I am currently being assessed for adhd and am very forgetful). I confidently said yes, as I remembered putting the blue container with the steaks in the cooler. But in the evening when we got home from our cross country commute, his mother notified us that they had found the steaks in their fridge. My husband has been depressed for the last few years. We had a long talk in the car earlier today about him being depressed and feeling disappointed in many aspects of life. And then this hits. I had forgotten to pack the steaks. I packed a similar container in the cooler, and that became a sort of ”false memory” of having packed the special steaks. As we had just gotten home when we were notified, I needed to tend to our two cats after the long drive and he needed to go fuel the car. So I sat at home bawling my eyes out feeling like the worst person ever when he got home and found me. I sobbed and apologized. He hugged me and said it’s not the end of the world, but I can see how sad he is. My emotions are all over the place but I don’t want to make this about me. How can I help make this right?

TL;DR I forgot my husband’s birthday present steaks on the other side of the country

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. ...
