TIFU: Its 5:57 am and I accidentally called my bf’s ex

r/

So this literally just happened and I’m shaking while writing this.

For context, months ago my boyfriend and I had a huge fight over this girl he used to be “kind of involved” with before me—let’s just say it left me with panic attacks, spiraling thoughts, and the whole internal drama package. BUT… we healed. I moved on. Like in the beginning of our relationship, there was nothing to not trust him but I was anxious. I genuinely trust him, I don’t stalk, I don’t snoop. Life was peaceful.

Until this morning.
It’s 5:57 AM. He’s asleep. I’m casually scrolling Instagram on his phone ( Im not on social media). Not with malicious intent, just vibing. Then I got nosy for 0.2 seconds and peeked at his messages. Literally didn’t even read anything—just tapped twice way too fast like a dumbass, and before I knew it… I WAS CALLING HER. FROM. HIS. PHONE. At 6-freaking-AM.

I panicked and hung up immediately.
I placed his phone back like it was radioactive.
I’m sitting here in bed, literally vibrating in shame and regret.

The worst part? I really thought we had no drama anymore. I even said that out loud to him last night. Universe heard me and was like, “Bet.”

Anyway, moral of the story: curiosity killed my peace, and next time I’m not even touching his damn phone.

TL;DR:
I accidentally called my boyfriend’s ex-situationship at 6am from his own phone while mindlessly scrolling. Now I’m shaking, full of regret, and awaiting judgment.

    I don’t say this often but maybe you should be. Instead of using other people’s accounts.

    Yep you f***d up. Most importantly – Tell him, apologise!

    And then its time for giving your bf best week of his life, in and out the bedroom, i think that gives you 80% to “forget about that”.

    Maybe tell you were curious of the profile pic…

    And yea, do not snoop somebody else’s phone

    Best of luck
