This didn't so much happen today, but it was only yesterday that I realized the extent of my f-up.

When I was a kid I thought that a "fun fact" about myself was that my dad is older than my grandma. It was like one of those brainteaser things that made people say "wait, what?" Well, my dad is 17 years older than my mom, and my grandma was 13 when she had my mother.

When I was growing up, this wasn't presented to me as gross or odd - in fact, my family routinely joked about it, and it was only in my 20s that I realized just how young she was (not just knowing the number, but realizing that she wasn't any more mature at that age than any other child). By that time I was estranged from my family (which I continue to be), so to be honest I hadn't really thought about that in years.

Right now there's a meme making the rounds on TikTok about how our grandparent's "romantic" love stories are straight up horrifying these days. Well, I stitched the video and told my grandma's story, including the fact that she had my mom's older brother when she was 11.

Now it's gone super viral, and I've got 100s of comments about how this is the worst version of these stories that they've seen. I can only imagine what people made of my "fun fact," although thinking back I don't think anyone commented on how weird it was. I would really like to reach out to my grandma, but I don't have any way of contacting her.

TLDR; I used to think it was a "fun fact" that my grandmother had my mom at 13 and my dad was 17 years older than my mom; after posting on TikTok, I realized just how horrifying that must have sounded to the adults I told.

I stalked my boyfriend and now im getting ghosted

Soo recently i (18F) started dating this guy named Bennett (20M) and just yesterday i met all of his friends for the first time. They were all really nice but i noticed there were some inside jokes about Bennett's ex and how she's a super model. This got me curious because we never really talked about our exes before, according to his friends she's one of the hottest girls they've seen. I won't lie it made me a bit jealous because im lowkey crazy but i didn't say anything and tried ignoring it.

Today i was still thinking about who this girl is and if she's really this goddess they made her out to be, naturally i got curious and stalked bennett's social media. I went through all his instagram posts and even tagged posts but didn't find anything, so i went to facebook and kept looking. Finally i found something from 2 years ago and it was a picture of him with his ex... this girl was leagues ahead of me. I kept looking at more of their photos and all i can say is she's a spitting image of kylie jenner.

Then i made a huge mistake, i tried to copy the link to send to my friends and get their opinion but i accidentally liked the post instead! Obviously i instantly unliked it but that doesn't do anything because a few minutes later my boyfriend started facetiming me. He joked about me stalking him and saying im the jealous type, which i am but still... now it's awkward between us and he really hasn't talked to me much, im worried i'm labeled as that "crazy girlfriend" and all his friends are gonna think the same

TL;DR: I was stalking my boyfriend's facebook account and found a picture of him with his ex, i accidentally liked it and he called me right after teasing me for being the jealous type. Now he's distant and we're not really talking

EDIT: We just had a long call and he ended things with me... apparently i gave out too many "red flags" which is complete bs it's only because he caught me stalking him. What sucks the most is he was the best in bed, it'll be 10x harder to get over him now. Maybe ill try and hookup with one of his friends instead

For some background I live in Iraq a mostly Muslim country. Today I was with my family watching TV and there was a news about a dad killing his daughter because she was previously caught with a guy and the guy and his friends raped her and threw her from a balcony on the 2nd floor when I heard that I was shocked how can someone kill their daughter in that way and I said it out loud, then my own dad started yelling at me for an hour saying how can I sympathise with her and that's I should never show affection towards that kind of action and he became super mad at me then my mother joined in to say the exact same thing, so now both of them are yelling at me saying how can I show affection towards someone that is "un-pure" and how would I like if my sister had sex with someone I did not say anything more because how can people not feel anything towards a human soul that has been killed because she had sex.

TL;DR: my dad is mad at me because I felt bad that a girl got killed by her dad because she was raped

**Update: Thanks everyone for your support, you have no idea how much it means. I cried while reading some of your replies. And I tried my best to thank everyone but the post has blown up and I don't think I can keep up but just know that your words truly helped me.

**Update2: here is a link for the people that don't believe the story is real
