This didn’t happen today, but the fallout definitely did.
A few weeks ago, my roommate’s girlfriend started texting me out of nowhere. At first it was casual, then it escalated fast. She told me she loved me, said her and my roommate “weren’t anything serious,” and eventually started sending me nudes I absolutely did not ask for.
I should’ve shut it down immediately. I didn’t. I didn’t encourage it either, but I didn’t block her right away, and that’s on me.After a few days, the guilt really hit. This is my roommate. I live with him. I see him every day. So I stopped responding, cut contact, and figured that was the end of it.It was not the end of it.She went straight to my roommate and told him that I was asking her out, that I was trying to get her to leave him, and that I was crossing boundaries. None of that was true, but by the time I found out, the damage was already done.
Now my roommate doesn’t trust me, the apartment is unbearably awkward, and I’m stuck realizing that “staying quiet” instead of immediately shutting something down can still blow up your life.
TL;DR: Roommate’s girlfriend told me she loved me, sent unsolicited nudes, I stopped talking to her out of guilt, and she responded by telling my roommate I was trying to steal her and ruin their relationship.
