I was scrolling through Instagram (like 2 am or something) and somehow ended up on my ex’s profile (guilty I know). We broke up like 8 months ago and I’ve been trying to move on but I guess I was curious about what she’s been up to. I was looking at her recent posts and then started scrolling back through older ones. I guess I was deeper than I thought because I accidentally double tapped on a photo from like 2 years ago when we were still together (not a pic of us two, but a pic of her that was done through my iphone). I tried to unlike it right away but the damage was done. She texted me an hour later asking why I was stalking her profile and I said that I miss her (I truly do). I almost fainted when she said to me that she misses me to and now we’re gonna go out this weekend. I did fuck up by liking her pic, but I guess sometimes fucking up will bring a good thing next haha
TL;DR: I liked my ex’s instagram post and now we have a date set for this weekend

Accidental like turned into a second chance? Happy for you, dude! Hope it works out ❤️🔥
Good luck.
I mean this could be a good or bad thing. Why did you guys breakup the first time? Was it something you couldn’t work out or something you could? Wishing the best for you though.
The real question is, are you good to deal with whatever she did these 8 months? And has something changed that will put you in a different position from the day you broke up? If the answers are no and no, I’d call off the date.
Thats such a great story… I hope it works out for you.
I got back with my ex after 5 years of not talking by drunk “poking” her on Facebook. We’re married now. Good luck!
Wrong subreddit surely
Today I Fixed Up?
I hope it works out but my honest view is that you’re both acting out of desperation and loneliness. A very smart and intelligent man named David Meessen who makes a living out of helping men talk to and treat women the right way says “99% of the time you should not try to get back with your ex”.
Oh damn.. horrible feeling
Welp a mistake took a healthy turn I guess?
Hope things go well
Why’d you break up in the first place?
That’s not a fuck up. Not a TIFU.
lol, my on off ex and I would like each other’s old pics to get the other’s attention so this is kinda endearing to me. I’d never be in a relationship like that again tho lol. Good luck on the date!
The sex will be great and the post nut clarity is going to smack you silly. Have fun!
Since this is TIFU I’m waiting for the follow up. “I just got reminded why we broke up before.”
Sometimes a panic like at 2am is the best accidental text you never sent.
Ehh we’ll see how happy this ends. There’s a reason you broke up.
Why’d you like it?
My man! Happy for you, bro.

This took an unexpected but wholesome turn. Hope it’s better the 2nd time around!
Oh god my brain swapped the L and the K on “liking” lmao
where is the fuck up?
I thought there was a delay on that notification if you “like” then quickly “unlike” it, they should not be notified of it

Funny how a rogue double-tap can restart a whole storyline. Accidental like? More like accidental spark, good luck!
That went from dying inside from cringe to a happy ending quickly. TIFUS(ucessfully)
This doesn’t belong on this sub
Hoowwww, but good luck!!
I’m not a psychologist.
I have a theory, which some psychologist who stumbles upon this may or may not validate.
One of the ways our brains try to protect us is this: Bad memories fade faster than good memories.
Bad and Good things happen to all of use. To make us happier, or we have evolved this way, Bad memories fade quicker than good memories.
This is why people who have broken up….sometimes get back together. Briefly. The good memories hang around longer than the bad memories.
So they get together, and then, they figure out why the broke up.
Did she break it off, or did you? If she did, then try to figure out what was bugging her and don’t do that. If it was you, well…..keep your eyes open.
Good luck.
Sort of….
“somehow”
Bruh….keep that shit a buck….you did that shit on purpose, don’t even front. You even made a Reddit TIFU to try and play mind games with your own self. You extra special bruh 👌🏽
This was not a fuck up. It’s only a fuck up if the two of you get back together and end up breaking up worse than you did the first time.
In 8 months she must have seen all colors and sizes! Good luck anyway.
Annnd this is why I block my exes
My ex-husbands mom did this to me. lmao
hopefully a happy ending.

Hmmm all the symptoms of a bot. Low post history just enough karma to post.

Oh I accidentally sent a friend request to an ex and couldn’t figure out how to undo it, so I just deleted my entire Instagram account. That was a good day.
I hope you accidentally have a great time! Say whatever you feel and have been feeling and listen to every word she says.
OP, we better see a “Today I Fucked update” this weekend
Good for you on being honest about missing her!

Regardless of how this goes; I’m looking forward to the update post
A guy I went on about 3 dates with in my first year of uni liked one of my facebook photo albums last week. I went on the dates with him in 2006. The facebook photo album is one of me and my ex-boyfriend from 2006/7. I didn’t even realise we were still facebook friends, I checked his profile and he’s been married for years. I do wonder what he was doing digging through photos of me and my ex from 19 years ago, not only that but liking the album? 🙃

Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it
Hold off on thinking that’s a good thing for a while…
Say it’s because she hasn’t looked good in a while lol
You need to let us know how it goes this weekend.
Just hear that Ed Sheeran song in my head…”trying not to double tap from way back cuz I know that’s where the troubles at…”
Was it a break up for bad reasons and getting together would be bad for you? Or the relationship was getting stale and you only really realised how good it was when you broke up?
Those two are very different scenarios of two extreme ends. Hooking back up isn’t necessarily all bad depending on the context.
Untap
But this isn’t a fuckup.
You missed your ex.
You did a thing.
You now have a date with your ex.
No fuckup was committed here
Whatever the reason is you broke up is probably still there and will just reappear somewhere down the line. Best of luck but I wouldn’t get too invested unless you feel whatever caused the first breakup has been resolved.
