TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU by trusting my roommate’s girlfriend and blowing up my living situation

This didn’t happen today, but the fallout definitely did.

A few weeks ago, my roommate’s girlfriend started texting me out of nowhere. At first it was casual, then it escalated fast. She told me she loved me, said her and my roommate “weren’t anything serious,” and eventually started sending me nudes I absolutely did not ask for.

I should’ve shut it down immediately. I didn’t. I didn’t encourage it either, but I didn’t block her right away, and that’s on me.After a few days, the guilt really hit. This is my roommate. I live with him. I see him every day. So I stopped responding, cut contact, and figured that was the end of it.It was not the end of it.She went straight to my roommate and told him that I was asking her out, that I was trying to get her to leave him, and that I was crossing boundaries. None of that was true, but by the time I found out, the damage was already done.

Now my roommate doesn’t trust me, the apartment is unbearably awkward, and I’m stuck realizing that “staying quiet” instead of immediately shutting something down can still blow up your life.

TL;DR: Roommate’s girlfriend told me she loved me, sent unsolicited nudes, I stopped talking to her out of guilt, and she responded by telling my roommate I was trying to steal her and ruin their relationship.

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. ...
