During her time in the apartment, Taylor started casually dating a guy who played in an indoor football league she did a story on. When they first started dating, they kept things slow and casual since she had just gotten out of a long-term relationship, and he was moving to California.
Taylor introduced this guy to her roommate, who really liked him and often talked about how great he was.
When the football player moved to California, he and Taylor decided to keep in touch to see what would happen but agreed that they weren’t committing to each other and were allowed to see other people.
One night, Taylor and her roommate went to a few bars with their co-workers. While they were out, Taylor started talking to a nice guy who asked for her phone number. They exchanged numbers, but that was all that happened.
The next morning, Taylor woke up to a few texts from the guy in California. He had received Facebook messages from an account with a mysterious name and no profile picture. The messages contained pictures of Taylor talking to the random guy in the bar the night before. How freaky is that?
Taylor immediately started defending herself since she thought he was mad about her talking to another guy. But he wasn’t mad at all. Instead, he explained that he sent the messages so she would know some creep was taking pictures of her in public.
Taylor and the football player started thinking about who would’ve known about their relationship and its circumstances. That’s when she realized her roommate was one of the few people she had told and was with her that night at the bar.
“I keep thinking about confronting her as the week goes on,” remembers Taylor. “And I’m noticing she’s being very weird.”
Her roommate stopped talking to her and would avoid being in the same room as her. Finally, Taylor sat down with her roommate to talk, and she asked her what was going on.
Then, her roommate said, “Well yeah, last weekend I felt like you were cheating on California boy.”
Taylor had to remind her roommate that she and the football player were not exclusive and were allowed to see other people.
