TIFU so i tried to help my dad with his phone and accidentally exposed his entire double life

so im sitting there with his phone like an idiot just trying to fix his stupid message sync thing and hes making that loud ass coffee with the Nescafe machine he always uses and im half paying attention tapping random settings i dont even remember where exactly i was maybe notifications or accounts idk and then boom some message pops up with a name ive literally never seen before but theres a heart next to it which already feels off and my brain kinda lags for a sec like wait no thats prob nothing but i still tap it which yeah i know bad move but also it was RIGHT THERE and then its just… not normal texts like not even trying to hide it its full relationship stuff like miss you already and last night was perfect and im just staring like wtf am i even reading i actually thought for a second maybe its old or spam or something dumb but no dates are like recent recent

he walks back in and i guess i looked weird bc he just goes what and i kinda freeze like i didnt plan this at all i just turn the phone toward him like a moron and he goes dead quiet like not angry not yelling just… blank and then he goes give me that and takes it and puts it in his pocket super fast like that fixes anything

i ask him how long and he goes its complicated which is such bs like bro there is nothing complicated about that chat i literally just saw it and then hes like its not what it looks like which ok sure bc it looks exactly like cheating so what else would it be and then he hits me with please dont tell your mom yet i need time to figure things out

and i just stood there for a sec like i didnt even know what to say i wasnt even mad right away it was more like this heavy gross feeling like i accidentally stepped into something i wasnt supposed to see and now im stuck in it and hes acting like im part of it now too

i said something like thats messed up i think? not even loud just kinda flat and then i left bc staying there felt weird like i was intruding on his secret or something which makes no sense bc hes the one doing it

now my mom is texting me random stuff about groceries and asking if i want dinner later and im just staring at my phone feeling like crap and hes called me like 4 times already and im ignoring it bc i dont even know what he expects me to say like yeah sure ill just pretend i didnt see your whole second life on accident

and the worst part is i keep thinking maybe i misunderstood something like maybe theres some dumb explanation but also… no there isnt and i hate that hes making it feel like im the problem for seeing it

idk what im supposed to do here bc whatever i do feels like im screwing someone over and i didnt even ask to be in this at all

Sorry if this is messy im typing fast on my phone

TL;DR: tried to fix my dad’s phone, accidentally found messages proving he’s cheating, now he’s asking me to keep quiet and i’m stuck in the middle

TIFU by getting suspended for 2 days by my front office in school.

I (13M) am an African American student at Jeannette junior high who had got suspended for 2 days here. I was in math class minding my business until my teacher had told me to go to the main office, which posed no problem to me. As i went down there, the people of the front office had stopped me and made me get a new ID (yes, we have id's.) so i had asked them if i could maybe do a different alternative and call my mother to let her bring the Id here, even then, the Id isn't that important. So, although i was talking to them in a calm manner and not showing any signs of rebellion, they had threatened to call the police on me without thinking twice before calling my parents. This is where i started getting angry, and even then now the black peers agree that could have been a racially motivated action. They then told me to sit in the office conference room because of that, leading into more anger. They had then called my mother who had came over to the school didn't even let ...

TIFU Accidentally taught my 4 year old nephew the word chlamydia

So I very awkwardly taught my nephew, the word chlamydia the other day and not in the way that you would think… It was actually very innocent. I was with one of my sister’s friends and my friends who’s become part of the family and I was telling her about an interesting fact, not thinking about how my nephew was right beside us. I told her did you know that koalas can get chlamydia and that they can give it to humans… just a fun fact… and then he who can barely say clear words most of the time clearest day said koala chlamydia so that happened And he went to his grandmother’s house today, so I’m kinda hoping he doesn’t say that, but at the same time I would die laughter and about pee my pants if he did because holy crap, how do you react to that? TL:DR I shared a fact about koalas and my nephew hung on to two words from the sentence. Those two words which he repeated were koala chlamydia.

TIFU by asking guy (28F) I (26 F) have been on 5 dates with where we stand.

So, I (25F) have been on five dates with this guy (28M). We were supposed to meet on Friday, but he said he might not be able to or would have to meet quite late, which frustrated me because we only see each other once a week, and we hadn’t met the previous week. Frustrated, I told him, "I think I’m done. It was nice hanging out with you, but I can’t deal with this scheduling issue." He later got back to me and said he could actually make it at our originally agreed time. We went on the date, had a great time, and the next day he texted saying he enjoyed seeing me again. I responded that I did too but also mentioned that the scheduling issue was frustrating. He agreed, and I asked if he wanted to see me again. That’s when he said he’s not sure what he wants in life right now. The thing is, I’m also unsure about what I want in life at the moment. Looking back, I don’t know why I asked such a big question when I’m still figuring things out myself. Everything feels uncertain ...
