TIFU by telling my girlfriend her "homemade" pasta sauce tastes like Ragu

So this happened two nights ago and she's still barely talking to me. My girlfriend (24F) and I (26M) have been together for about 8 months and she's always going on about how she loves cooking and how her mom taught her all these family recipes. Which is cool, I appreciate when someone cooks for me. Tuesday night she makes this big dinner, spent like two hours in the kitchen making "her grandmother's secret pasta sauce." I'm sitting there eating it and honestly it just tasted exactly like Ragu. Like exactly. So I'm trying to be polite but she keeps asking how it is and if I can taste all the "complex flavors" she added. Finally I just said "babe it's good but it kinda just tastes like regular jarred sauce." She got this look on her face and asked what I meant. I said it reminded me of Ragu, not in a mean way just that it had that same taste. She completely lost it. Started crying and saying I was calling her a liar and that I don't appreciate her effort. Here's the thing though, I swear I saw a Ragu jar in her trash when I threw something away earlier. Like I'm not crazy right? But now I feel like such an asshole because she was crying and saying her feelings were hurt. Maybe I should have just said it was amazing even if it wasn't? I don't know if I messed up by being honest or if she's overreacting. We haven't really talked since except for basic stuff and I feel terrible but also kind of annoyed. TL;DR Should I apologize even though I think she might have actually used jarred sauce?

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 sh*tting in the bushes at a high school

So I’m training for a local 10k race in a couple months. That’s about 6.2 miles. Not a long race but not a short one either. I’m making good progress and tinkering with what works for me on longer runs, how I can keep my body moving at an easy, consistent pace for about 70-80 minutes. I’ve been increasing the distance over the past few months, prioritizing getting the distance down before I work on pace. I train early mornings at a local high school track within walking distance of my house. They have public hours almost every morning from 6-8 am. It’s a very nice track with good lighting and ✨no public bathrooms✨. Because I’ve been focused on increasing distance I’m waking up earlier and earlier to get to the track and really hammer it out before I go home and shower for work. In turn, I’ve been drinking a little extra COFFEE most mornings get my body going. Til now this hasn’t been a problem, I don’t leave the house until my body takes care of business. I successfully dropped the ...
