Me (19F) with my roommate of 1 year (20F), I’m worried I might be homophobic towards her?

 

Hello strangers on the internet! This is my first time using this website, and I’m hoping you all could help me with an issue I’m having. I want to preface this by saying that I have never been discriminatory before, ever! One of my best friends at university is gay, in fact. I’ve never had a problem with it before, so that is why all of this feels so out of the blue. 

 

“Phee” and I have been roommates for a year now (funny story: we weren’t even supposed to be roomies, I was promised a private suite :p) and we’ve really grown close. For some context, we used to completely loathe each other at the start. She would move all of my things to one side of the room, tease me relentlessly; everything she would do made my insides absolutely churn! But a few months into our first semester, we went to a house party with some of our mutual friends. We danced together, got to know each other, and now we’re best friends. We do everything together, study, eat in the dining hall, wear each other’s clothes. Sometimes I even like the smell of her bed more, so we’ll just sleep in hers. I thought everything between us was finally perfect.

 

But now my problem is this: a month ago when Phee texted me that she wouldn’t be back at our dorm that night because she was staying at someone else’s, I felt my stomach drop. And then when I asked her what the person’s name was and she said a woman’s name, I felt physically sick. 

 

Even worse, last week when I opened our door, she was kissing a woman in our suite and I felt my chest hurt. Phee apologized immediately for not telling me she had a woman over, and I tried to brush it off like it was fine. This is the first time she’s shown interest in anyone in the whole year I’ve known her, so I guess I didn’t know she liked women? But that still doesn’t explain my hideodious reaction. The more I think about it, the worse I feel. When I think about Phee with another woman, my face flushes in a way it hasn’t since I first met her. I literally feel green!

 

I’m nervous Phee has started to notice and I’m scared of it affecting our friendship. Yesterday she texted me ahead of time that she was having the girl over, just to study, and I really tried to be cordial. I was reorganizing my closet, practically ignoring them, but they kept giggling at each other. Then I heard Phee laugh so hard at something she said and my head felt like it was about to explode. I couldn’t take it anymore, I just stormed out disgusticified. We had plans to go stargazing later that night, but she cancelled last minute probably because of my behavior. I don’t understand what’s happening, I’ve never felt this hateful before. I so badly want to get over this so I don’t hurt my friendship with Phee, I adore her. Like I mentioned earlier I have gay friends, so is it just homophobia toward people I’m living with? Has anyone else ever dealt with something like this before? 

 

TLDR: My roommate is gay, and I thought I was an ally until I felt so uncomfortable seeing her with a woman. Does anyone have any advice on how to be less of a total jerk?

Have you talked to Phee about the situation? Maybe if you sat down and talked to her about what you’re feeling, the answer to your problem might become clearer.

          oh you have a bf? i only have one thing to say to you: good luck, babe!




Galinda slammed her pink laptop shut with a huff. The nerve of these people! She knew the website would be a long shot, but every piece of actual advice was drowned by tens of other insane claims. She and Fiyero were very happy, thank you very much. The picture-perfect couple! What did it matter that Fiyero was pulling away from her, and she didn’t really want to make much of an effort to chase after him? Everything would work out for her eventually, it always does.

 

The blonde yelped as she was yanked out of her thoughts by the slam of their dorm door. There stood Elphaba, or “Phee” in her post, staring at her warily. Galinda’s eyes followed her as she slowly walked over to her desk and put down her textbooks. Her pulse raced as Elphaba calmly moved to sit next to her on the bed. The other woman drummed her fingers on the bed sheets before taking a deep breath and turning to look at her. 

 

“So,” Elphaba stated plainly. “Would you like to explain what’s going on with you?”

 

Play dumb. “What?” Galinda replied dumbly.

 

“You ran out of our dorm like a maniac last night,” she explained slowly. “And didn’t explain why.”

 

“Yeah, well you cancelled our stargazing sesh last night and didn’t explain why,” Galinda rushed out.

 

Elphaba raised an eyebrow at her outburst, and Galinda had to physically stop herself from cringing. That had come out way more desperate than she was hoping.

 

“I didn’t mean to accuse you of anything,” Elphaba said gently, her eyebrows furrowing. Galinda wanted to reach out and smooth those worried lines with her fingertips. Anyways.

 

“I just wanted to make sure that we’re okay.”

 

Galinda’s chest hurt. Here was her wonderful roomie, worrying about her as if she had done something wrong. All of this concern, and it was Galinda who was being the total dolt. She didn’t deserve her. She would do anything to keep her - 

 

“Of course we’re okay,” Galinda replied, cutting off her thoughts before they could get away from her. “I didn’t mean to worry you Elphie, I just wasn't feeling well is all.”

 

Grabbing her hand, she forced a smile on her face. “So tell me more about this girl from yesterday,” Galinda ground out.

 

Elphaba let out a deprecating laugh. “Not much to say,” she admitted. “She left a little after you did. We uh… didn’t agree on something.”

 

Suddenly, Galinda didn’t have to fake the smile she was sporting. “Awe, I’m sorry to hear that Elphie,” she said, lying through her perfect teeth. “Don’t worry, she probably wasn’t the one.”

 

“I know,” Elphaba replied, sighing. Standing up, she offered her hand out to Galinda. “How about we go for that stargazing sesh now?”

 

Galinda took her hand gladly. “I think that’s an absolutely thrillifying idea.”

 

She didn’t know what she was thinking. Everything was going to be completely fine!

 


 

Let the record show that everything was not completely fine.

 

Galinda pushed and shoved her way through the sea of bodies, barely stopping her red cup from sloshing over. Fiyero had dragged her to another one of these mindless frat parties and usually she welcomed it, but tonight Galinda could not get herself to loosen up. She’d lost Fiyero the second they walked through the door, when he went off to find his stupid friends and had left her here. Alone. Ugh.

 

Now she was holding a cup of whatever she could find that was pink and listening to Pfannee drone on about the benefits of juice cleanses. The bass of the loud music was starting to hurt her head and she wasn’t nearly drunk enough. Throwing her drink back, she emptied it in one go.

 

“I need a refill,” Galinda said, cutting off Pfannee mid-rant. Without waiting for them to respond, she made her way over to the kitchen. Pouring herself more of the pink stuff, she looked up to see Elphaba on the stairs talking to someone. She gasped, drink forgotten, just grateful that her night was starting to look up.

 

“Elphieee!” she screeched, running over. “Oh thank Oz you’re here, this was starting to get truly dreadful. Wait, why are you here?”

 

“Galinda! I didn’t know you’d be here,” Elphaba replied, surprise written on her face. “Amerie invited me. Amerie, this is my roommate.”

 

Galinda looked over at the girl sitting next to her. She recognized her as the girl who was in their dorm the week before, when she stormed out after hearing Elphaba laugh. Amerie was also blonde, and her hair was long but not quite as shiny as her own. And it barely had any bounce to it, really. And they were sitting quite close to each other. 

 

“The famous roommate, I’ve heard so much about you,” Amerie laughed, sticking her hand out to shake. 

 

Galinda couldn’t even muster up a polite smile, ignoring her hand to turn back at Elphaba. “I’ve invited you to these before, you’ve never said yes,” she said, hurt. 

 

“I- I’m sorry,” Elphaba stammered out. “I didn’t know it meant that much to you. Amerie just asked and I thought I should -”

 

“It’s fine!” Galinda interjected. “It’s perfectly fine. It doesn’t mean that much to me, I actually don’t care at all! I’ll leave you two to it.” 

 

Galinda whipped her hair back and quickly marched away. She could just barely make out Elphaba calling her name behind her over the music, but she got lost in the crowd. The ugly, hideodious feeling in her chest was back. She knew she was being completely unfair to Elphaba, but all she wanted to do at that moment was get out of here.

 

By some miracle, she found Fiyero on her rampage and hauled him to the exit. Undeterred by his complaints, Galinda dragged them both out of the frat house and she breathed a sigh of fresh air. She only enjoyed it for a moment, before speedily walking down the street in fear that Elphaba might try to follow her. 

 

They got about two blocks toward campus before Fiyero decided he had enough of her dragging him along. “Where are we going?” he questioned loudly. “I was talking to someone before you lugged me out of there like a madman!”

 

“I don’t know,” Galinda spat out, not breaking her stride. “I just didn’t want to be there anymore.”

 

Fiyero let out a huff of frustration. “Do you want me to walk you back to your dorm?” he asked.

 

“No,” Galinda swiftly replied. She definitely did not want to go back to her dorm where everything smelled like Elphaba and all of her clothes were everywhere and all of her stupid fantasy books that she gets so excited took up too much space.

 

“Well then where are we walking to?” Fiyero asked impatiently, halting his walk.

 

“I don’t know!” Galinda screeched, finally stopping, throwing her hands in the air and whipping around to face him. “I don’t know where we’re walking to Fiyero. I don’t know why I didn’t want to be at that party. It seems like I don’t know anything lately!”

 

Galinda finished her rant and dramatically plopped herself on the curb. She was so distraught, she didn’t even care that the pavement was probably staining her pink stockings. Burying her hand in her hands, she left out a truly miserable groan.

 

After a moment, Galinda heard Fiyero let out a sigh before joining her on the curb. She peeked her eyes between her fingers to see him staring up at the night sky. 

 

“You’re not happy, are you?”

 

Galinda raised her head to look at him, but he was still staring at the sky even after asking her the question.

 

“Not… at the moment, no,” Galinda said slowly.

 

“Not right now,” he replied easily. “Just in general. You’re unhappy. With us.”

 

Galinda felt her heart drop for what had to be the 10th time this month. Her poor health was probably in ruins.

 

“Fiyero, where is this coming from?” she whispered.

 

He finally turned to look at her. “You’ve changed. So have I. It’s not a bad thing, I think we’re just a bit too different now. We’ve been feeling off for a while, right?”

 

“Fiyero…” is all she could respond back with.

 

Slowly, as if afraid she would run away, he leaned over and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Then, he rose and held out a hand to help her up.

 

“We had a good run.”

 

Galinda let out a weak laugh and took his hand. “We did, didn’t we?”





Fiyero ended up walking her back to her dorm, hugging her goodbye that was final in more than one way. Galinda knew she should feel more sad, her longest relationship ever had just ended. She had convinced herself that Fiyero was the one for so long, but now she just felt exhausted. Going on autopilot, she took off her makeup, showered, and did her skincare. Trudging back to her bed, she opened up her laptop to watch some mindless show on Netflix. The bright screen assaulted her tired eyes before adjusting to her screen wallpaper, which was a picture of her and Elphaba at a picnic last spring. Galinda smiled softly as she recalled the day it was taken.

 

The two of them and their friends decided to go off-campus to have one last gathering before spring break, a picnic. Galinda remembers how Boq wouldn’t stop sneezing because of his allergies, and ShenShen was laughing at him so hard her sides must’ve hurt. Fiyero and Pfannee were off to the side, arguing about the placement of the charcuterie board or something else. Lying down on her stomach next to her, Elphaba was reading her newest fantasy novel while Galinda weaved dandelions into her braids.

 

“Are you almost done back there?” Elphaba questioned.

 

“Nearly!” Galinda sing-songed back, putting the finishing touches on the yellow flowers she had intricately twisted. “There, all done. Tada!”

 

Elphaba put her book down and sat up to face her. “How do I look?” she asked, jokingly flourishing and posing.

 

Galinda giggled in response. “Oh Elphie, you look positively beautiful. Dare I say the most thrillifying woman the world has ever seen!” 

 

Elphaba rolled her eyes and shoved Galinda into the grass, laughing as she laid down next to her. Galinda automatically cozied up next to her, this routine had become familiar the past months since they had started just sleeping in the same bed. 

 

Galinda was beginning to doze off when she heard a click and felt a flash across her eyelids. Nessarose was above them, looking at her camera to view the picture she had just taken of the two.

 

“This is so cute! Remind me to send this to you later!” she squealed, before going to find others to take pictures of.

 

As Galinda reclosed her eyes, surrounded by all her friends and her best friend ever, she remembered never wanting this feeling to end. 

 

The picture in the present seemed to taunt Galinda, reminding her of how much things had changed since then. She stared at the two of them, cuddled next to each other and wondered where it all went wrong. When she started dreading coming back to their shared dorm, a place they’d turned into a home. Where all of their belongings were so intermingled that if all of her things weren’t pink, she wouldn’t even know what was hers anymore. How she could feel so much negativity toward the woman she loves -

 

Woah.

 

Galinda’s heart began to pound as the gears in her head began to turn. Shakily, she opened up the tab that she’d been avoiding all week. She winced as she saw how much attention her post had garnered since she last checked, but she scrolled down to find one comment in particular. Taking a deep breath and steeling herself, Galinda typed out a new response.

Is it possible that you could be jealous of this girl?

     thegoodwitch24 • 1 week ago

     What would I be jealous of? Phee and I are best friends.

          mangomatcha • 1 week ago

          Maybe in a different context than best friends?

     thegoodwitch24 • 1 minute ago

     Apologies for the late reply. It took me a while but I think I eventually got to the point you were trying to make. I’m a bit of a wreck at the mo. I’ve never felt this way towards anyone before, much less another woman. One revelation later and now I’m pretty sure I’m in love with my roommate. And so, incredibly jealous. Any new advice?

 

Looking at her clock that read 1am and deciding that was enough emotional turmoil for one night, Galinda shut her laptop and fell into a fitful slumber.

 


 

Galinda woke up to the gentle sunlight filtering in through her window. Stretching out of bed, she checked her phone on the way to the bathroom to see it was already 12:30pm. Yikes.

 

After brushing her teeth and wincing at her dark circles in the mirror, Galinda decided she was going to have a good day. No more moping! She was going to put on her pinkest dress and tackle this day head on.

 

Prettying herself up, Galinda hummed to herself as she got ready for the day. Her makeup looked perfect, her dress was flouncy, her hair was shiny. Dancing around the dorm, she faltered as spotted Elphaba’s empty bed. The sheets were fussed, she obviously slept here last night after Galinda fell asleep. She kept to a strict schedule, so she was probably out eating breakfast right now.

 

Sighing, Galinda knew there was something she had to check before going on with the rest of her day. Hesitantly opening up her laptop, her heart raced as she saw that there was a new comment on her post.

     mangomatcha • 2 hours ago

     OP, I was trying to gently coax you to the conclusion but it seems you’ve dived headfirst into it. First off, congratulations! At least you’re not in denial anymore, welcome to the queer community!

My advice now is just that you have to make a choice. Decide whether you value Phee’s friendship too much to tell her, or take that risk and let her know how you really feel. Either way, it’s not fair to her for you to treat her so hot and cold because of jealousy. A reminder that it seems she’s already talking to someone, so she might not reciprocate.

I’m rooting for you! This is an insane, soap-opera situation, and it seems like the only way out is through. Best of luck!

 

 

Galinda closed her laptop, her mind already made up. Recalling how hard Amerie had made Elphaba laugh, how she had gotten her to go to a frat party of all places, she must be happy. Galinda had no business trying to get in the middle of that. 

 

Even though the thought of Elphaba with that woman made her stomach twist itself into knots, Galinda would bear it. She would stay silent in her misery as another woman got to sleep in Elphaba’s bed and weave flowers into her braids and hold her. Anything for Elphaba to be happy in the end. Ugh. She really should get a medal for her braverism.

 

As if summoned by magic, the door opened to reveal Elphaba herself back from breakfast. She closed the door behind her wordlessly, but made no move to walk deeper into their suite. Staring at Galinda, it seemed like she was waiting for her to make the first move.

 

No matter to Galinda. She had made this mess, so she would fix it.

 

“Elphie,” she started, walking towards her. “Before you say anything, I know I’ve been acting strange. I’m so sorry, I’ve just had some, frankly life-changing revelations lately and my brain’s a mess.” Elphaba opened her mouth to interject, but Galinda steamrolled on.

 

“And I’ve been taking it out on you, and that’s so unfair Elphie, I know it is,” she continued, not stopping for breath. “Everything is just changing so quickly. I mean Fiyero and I broke up, you and I have been distant, and -“

 

“You and Fiyero broke up?” Elphaba yelled, concerned. “Galinda, are you okay?”

 

“I’m fine,” Galinda waved her hand dismissively. “Bygones. I just wanted you to know that from now on, I’ll be a better friend to you. I swear it.”

 

She finally stopped to take a deep breath, signaling that her rant was over. Elphaba wasted no time bringing her into a hug, which Galinda reciprocated immediately. 

 

“You have been weird lately,” Elphaba admitted into her hair. Galinda winced, tightening the hug as an apology. “But you’ve always been a bit of a weirdo.”

 

Galinda let out an offended squawk as Elphaba giggled and let her go. She missed the contact already.

 

“And I admit I haven’t been the best friend lately either,” Elphaba added. “I didn’t even know you and Fiyero were having problems.”

 

“Truly, it’s fine,” Galinda soothed. “It was a long time coming. Truthfully, I’m not even sure we ever loved each other. He was just perfect, I guess? And I thought I wanted that.”

 

‘I want something else,’ Galinda thought. ‘I want you. Why don’t you want me too? Aren’t we perfect for -’

 

“Let’s both be better for each other then,” Elphaba declared, stopping Galinda from saying something she would regret. 

 

“I agree!” Galinda nodded, shaking out of her reverie. “I need breakfast first though, I’m absolutely starving.”

 

“They have your favorite in the dining hall today, strawberry pancakes,” Elphaba said, gathering her textbooks. “Hurry up, we have class in an hour!”

 

“Yes, yes, I’ll be quick,” Galinda promised, putting on her heels.

 

“Oh, and can I borrow your notes from last lecture? I need to catch up from when I was sick,” Elphaba asked.

 

“Of course, silly goose. They’re on my laptop, just send them to yourself,” she responded, pointing to where she left it on her bed.

 

“Thank youuuu,” Elphaba sing-songed as she opened her laptop.

 

“You’re welcomeeee,” Galinda sing-songed back, closing the door. 

 

She looked at herself in the reflection of the trophy case outside of their dorm. She looked the part, not even a single hair out of place. No one would be able to tell she was pining desperately over the best friend she’d ever had. Determined to have a great day, she squared her shoulders, flipped her hair, and marched forward.





Twenty minutes later, Galinda burst open the doors to their dorm. “Elphieeee,” she complained. “You lied! There were no strawberry pancakes when I got there.”

 

She toed off her heels, waiting for a retort about tardiness but got nothing back. She turned around to see Elphaba still on her bed, looking at her laptop screen exactly where she left her.

 

“Did you find my notes?” Galinda asked.

 

Elphaba looked up from the laptop, her expression absolutely wrecked. Well now she was getting worried. 

 

“Galinda… what is this?” Elphaba asked hoarsely, turning the laptop around to show the screen.

 

Her screen, that traitor, showed the pathetic truth of a post that she forgot to close out of earlier. Galinda’s heart didn’t drop, it felt more like someone reached inside and ripped it out of her chest. If she survives this, Galinda thinks she’ll need to go to the doctor to get the poor thing checked out.

 

“I- I don’t,” Galinda stammered out, unable to think of anything over the sound of her own heartbeat in her ears. “I can’t…”

 

“I didn’t mean to snoop,” Elphaba rushed out, putting down the laptop and walking towards her with her hands splayed. “But it was already there when I opened your laptop. And I didn’t even know you had Reddit so I was curious. I shouldn’t have looked, I know. But… is this about me?”

 

She could lie. Galinda could laugh in her face and claim of course not! She could play dumb, the dumbest she’s ever played in her life and pretend she couldn’t possibly be in love with her. 

 

“It is,” Galinda whispered truthfully to the floor.

 

Elphaba made a strangled noise, deep in her throat, and took Galinda’s hands. “Can you look at me please?” she asked quietly. Galinda shook her head furiously, tears already in a freefall down her cheeks. She didn’t want to look into Elphaba’s eyes as she gently let her down, kindly broke her heart. The thought of it made her let out an ugly sob. She probably looked so hideodious right now. 

 

Her roommate let out another sad noise at her sob and with a finger under her chin, tilted Galinda’s head up to look at her. She made contact with her kind, green eyes and even through her tears, had to give a watery smile.

 

“There you are,” Elphaba breathed, wiping her tears away and holding her face. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to make you panic. I just had to be 100% sure you were serious and not joking.”

 

“What? Why would I be joking?” Galinda said through sniffles. “It doesn’t matter. I won’t let it affect our friendship anymore, I swear it. Just give me some time and I promise I’ll get over it, and -”

 

“Please don’t.”

 

Galinda stopped talking. Maybe stopped breathing, too. Who even knew anymore. 

 

“I love you, too,” Elphaba said gently.

 

Out of all of the different scenarios she’d played out in her head, this was definitely not one of them. It showed too, through her lack of ability to say anything remotely coherent. 

 

“But I thought- how could- what about Amabeth?” Galinda finally managed to get out.

 

“Her name is Amerie .”

 

“That’s what I said.”

 

“Anyways,” Elphaba said, rolling her eyes. “Amerie is just a friend. We’d been going out for a while, but my heart wasn’t in it. After you stormed out a couple of weeks ago, I wanted to go after you. She was annoyed, saying that I was in love with you and in denial. I kicked her out because she might’ve been right.”

 

Galinda felt something dangerous in her chest now, akin to hope. “And the frat party?” she questioned.

 

“Well, I figured out a couple of days later that she was right. I was in denial,” Elphaba admitted, looking nervous herself. “I texted her apologizing. She forgave me since she said she’d been there too. In love with your painfully straight best friend, that is.”

 

Galinda let out a sheepish laugh. “Surprise?” she offered and burrowed her face further into Elphaba’s hands. 

 

Elphaba laughed back. “Surprise indeed. Amerie invited me to the frat party to try and get over it. Over you. I didn’t know you would be there,” she explained. “It didn’t even work. After you ran off, I felt worse than before.”

 

“My bad,” Galinda said. “If it makes you feel any better, that might’ve been the worst night I’ve ever had in my life. My heart was trying to self-destruct, I think.”

 

Taking a hand off of her face to place on her waist, Elphaba pulled her closer. Galinda practically swooned. “And your heart now?” Elphaba asked softly. “What is it saying now?” 

 

Galinda audibly swallowed. “It thinks we should kiss,” she rasped out.

 

Giggling, Elphaba leaned down and Galinda went on her tiptoes to meet her in the middle. When their lips touched, Galinda realized many things at once. This was real, it was perfect, it was nothing she’d ever experienced. She gasped, and Elphaba chased the noise with her mouth. She was holding onto Elphaba like a lifeline, and she distantly registered there was a hand in her hair, tilting her head to slot their mouths together perfectly. Everything was perfect. Galinda had never felt this perfect before.

 

Elphaba broke away for air, and Galinda lamely chased her mouth with a whine. The other woman laughed, and it wasn’t long before she was full-blown cackling.

 

“I’m glad you’re having fun at my expense,” Galinda pouted, hitting her on the arm. “Don’t laugh!”

 

“I’m sorry love, I wasn’t laughing at you I promise,” Elphaba wheezed. Galinda’s head went fuzzy from the nickname. “I’m just… this entire time, you were jealous ?”

 

“Alright, I’m out!” Galinda exclaimed dramatically, ripping herself out of her arms and flopping dramatically on her bed. “Sue me, I was so very confused.”

 

Elphaba laid down next to her. “Thank Oz for the good people of Reddit, huh?” she said, turning to face her. 

 

“Ugh, do not mention that website in my presence ever again,” Galinda blanched. “Now come over here, we have some catching up to do.”

 

Elphaba rolled over to hold Galinda, and catch up they did.

UPDATE: Me (19F) with my roommate of 1 year (20F), I’m worried I might be homophobic towards her?

 

Hello again strangers on the internet! This is decidedly the last time I will ever use this website, but since it worked so well last time I thought I would post an update. First off, thank you to the people who offered genuine advice. I appreciate you being helpful despite my absolute hopelessness (some of you were very rude though! work on that). A lot of things have happened since my initial post a few months ago.

 

For starters, I realized I’m a lesbian. I honestly should’ve seen that one coming, but nonetheless here we are! I also realized, like many of you predicted, I was in love with my roommate and was deeply jealous (not homophobic, phew!). Once I came to that realization, I was very much planning to just pine until I DIED. But coincidentally, Phee found my post and I ended up confessing once she confronted me about it. 

 

Luckily, it turns out she loves me too! So we’re now girlfriends, and have been for 3 amazing months now. We’re taking it slow since I’m still a bit new to the gay thing and am figuring it out as we go, but I’ve never been this happy in my entire life. Our friends claimed they knew the whole time (which I think is a bunch of boloney :p) but they’re super supportive. 

 

So, everything has been absolutely perfect. I never expected this would all happen because I posted on this website, but I have so much gratitution it turned out this way. Thanks you guys <3
