Yesterday I fucked up big time and I haven’t talked to my roommate since it happened..

For some background my roommate (34F) and I (32M) have been roommates now for 2 years and we’ve always been good friends even before then.

Well last week, she went out of town to visit her boyfriend in New Mexico and she wasn’t supposed to be back until tomorrow. Well earlier this week, I had to put a maintenance request for my shower because the water wasn’t draining in my shower and I was told by the apartment to not use it until they could fix it. Maintenance told me they would fix the issue by today at the latest so all this week, I have been using her shower instead.

Now…before people attack me for using her restroom, this restroom is not in her room, it’s technically the “guest” restroom since hers is in the main hallway and mine is the only one in the room. So since this is the restroom people commonly use when they come over, I didn’t see any issue with me using it to take a quick shower until mine was fixed.

So last night, I got off work, got back to the apartment and threw on my music and hopped in the shower. The door was locked and again, I assumed she wouldn’t be home until tomorrow and I never received any sort of text from her so I figured I was in the clear.

Right as I am getting out of the shower, I pull open the curtains and at the same exact time…I see her walk straight past the door and as I am reaching for my towel me and her made direct eye contact 😭

She gasped and screamed “oh my god, I am so sorry” and by the time I could put myself together, she had already left the apartment and I haven’t seen her since.

I feel awkward as fuck now and am not sure what else to do. I already texted her but at this point, I really don’t know what the fuck to do 🙃

TL;DR: I used my roommates shower while she was supposed to be out of town and we made eye contact as I was getting out of the shower when she arrived back to the apartment unexpectedly.
