Stupid Mistakes Thread

Moving in with my fiancé, thinking we would be together for eternity.

Never sharing my living space with a woman again. Evar!

HAHAHAH!! whut… she try to take away your blankie?

Bought a very good car in mint condition and then a better one appeared at nearly the same price.

That, too. Several times.

We are not together anymore because she dumped me for a transgender guy who wants to be a girl (because she is bisexual and unable to have sex with men anymore because our sex life retraumatized her with childhood memories of molestation and sexual abuse for no fucking reason), but we are still living in the same flat, sleeping in the same bed and sharing our low income, which is too small for both of us to move out and go live in other places.

Soon I am gonna turn 30, and instead of being married to the woman I loved and maybe even becoming a father soon I am a dumped guy who is still living with his ex fiancé, without a chance of ever getting to know other women, because where would I take them with me? Home to my ex? I don’t think so!

Met a stunningly beautiful girl the other day, in the super market. She stood at one of them tables where you can pack your things together after paying at the cashier. She moved to the side to provide more space for me, smiled a bedazzling smile at me and wished me a good day as I went home. I could have talked to her, flirted with her, but nooo, there was this little thing with my ex that still lives with me, back in my head, tormenting me.

And I fear it will remain so until I snap and either murder her or myself. There seems to be no other way.

That, and the blanket thingy. Yeah. Pretty much.

That… that is… that is just so… I am sorry.

But she has serious issues if she is ok with blaming you for her sex issues. It is understandable if she has issues, but coming from someone that is close to the topic of molestation, her hangup is not your fault. Believe it to the deep down part of your heart, then take a big breath and let it go.

And look on craigs list to rent a room. It has GOT to be much better than what you are stuck with right now. Then one day just be gone.

Yeah I know. Sounds like from some stupid soap. That’s my life.

Wow, DasonDelta, your life now seems to sad… Even the worst part of my life, which made me complain for a long time, isn’t that sad, I guess :frowning:

A long time ago (5 years) I was completely in love with a girl. One day I told her I liked her. Well, she didn’t say no to me. I was almost on my knees for that girl for like two years, she was one of my best friends, even after I told her I liked her. Yet I never got to talk about that with her again, never asked her to go out in a date or anything. The saddest is, I had a very good chance, I am sure about it.

The problem is my sense of reality was completely fucked up by Christianity at that time. Sorry to disappoint the Christians here, but it’s true. For normal people, it is pretty much clear that you should always take things with a grain of salt. I am not normal, many things that seem so obvious and simple to other people are not simple to me at all. Many religious beliefs can get catastrophic proportions if they get into my mind. That is pretty much the reason I don’t want to have any religion ever again.

Anyway, I’m not getting into details because I don’t want people trying to tell me how and why I am wrong, that would not end well.

Your mistake was telling your friend about it.

Agreed

A totally hot girl (the girl modeled for a senior photo studio) was hitting on me all throughout my junior year in high school and her advances on me creeped me out to the point of avoiding her to the point of saying “stay the hell away from me”. I feel like a fucking Idiot now for pushing her away… one of my worst fucking mistakes EVER

Another mistake I made was during a class trip to a local high-tech museum of sorts…
My younger sister had given me a $20 bill to buy her a stuffed animal and I had placed the bill in my pants pocket and somehow had dropped it in a cavernous, labyrinthine exhibit at this particular Museum (look up COSI)… I felt like a fool and she still treats me like an asshole even though this happened about a decade ago.

That doesn’t sound much of a problem. Except she annoys you for that. I’ve already lost at least five blouses, a pair of eyeglasses (luckily I had already ordered another pair with higher degrees), once I lost R$30 (nowadays ~ $15, but at the time ~ $30 IIRC), among other things.

She was elementary-school age and had received that particular twenty-dollar bill for her birthday IIRC, she’s currently in high school.

Sounds like a bitch.

Today I learned why my manager’s been skirting training me to run register… my somewhat broken short-term memory seems to have been hindering my work as of late (forgetting some trash cans [covering for the janitor] when getting the trash from around the store, forgetting to put toilet paper in the women’s rest rooms in the front of the store, ETC.) mind you, a few of these problems stem from us not having that many baggers from the morning 'till 2: 30 in the afternoon on weekdays and me having to run small tasks for the cashiers every now and again but still.

Forget that whore. You can come live with me man. I’m always willing to take in an avid Star Wars fan who can help pay rent. You can bring home any girl you want. Just as long as I can wet my beak in that sweet sauce. A little double dip. Unless they have friend. That’d be fine too.

“hey guys i can kick myself in the head”

DansonDelta40, I shed a tear when reading your story ;(

If you were the one paying for the apartment, or at least the most of it, then tell her to GTFO so you can move on with your life and get another girl.

It is rather hard to do that if everyone is dirt poor and heavily reliant on each other to foot their share of the bill.
