Some jokes can cause unexpected problems between roommates.<\/p>\n
In this story, a woman unintentionally upset her roommate<\/a> after texting him a joke that he took seriously.<\/p>\n The comment came during an emotional breakdown after calorie counting made her feel guilty about eating a sweet treat.<\/p>\n Although she apologized afterward, her roommate gave them the silent treatment for two weeks.<\/p>\n Read the full story below to find out more.<\/p>\n My roommate had been in a stupor where he was unable to eat anything without feeling nauseated.<\/p>\n He would constantly talk about how he had only eaten once during the day.<\/p>\n Or how he hadn\u2019t eaten in days.<\/p>\n It started to get under my skin a bit subconsciously.<\/p>\n Because I am a person who struggles myself with food-related issues.<\/p>\n This woman cried over a sweet treat during one of her calorie-deficit days.<\/p>\n On a particular day, I had a calorie-counting-induced breakdown.<\/p>\n Because I was so excited to eat a sweet treat that I had gotten.<\/p>\n But then I calculated that it would put me over my calorie limit for the day.<\/p>\n I think all my stressors had snapped at that point because I was literally in tears over a treat.<\/p>\n She texted her roommate a joke that he took seriously.<\/p>\n During my breakdown, I texted my roommate, \u201cTeach me the ways of not eating.\u201d<\/p>\n He took huge offense to this joke, telling me I\u2019m not allowed to speak to him until he says so.<\/p>\n This has been going on for two weeks now, and I\u2019ve been in his \u201ctimeout.\u201d<\/p>\n At first, I had felt bad about making the joke and had apologized to him over text.<\/p>\n But he still says I can\u2019t talk to him, and at this point, it\u2019s getting ridiculous.<\/p>\n She thought her roommate was being overdramatic when she already apologized to him.<\/p>\n Even more so, jokes in that nature have never been off-limits.<\/p>\n He often jokingly calls his friends fata** and calls people fat. He also makes jokes about food.<\/p>\n So it feels like overkill for this reaction to a food joke that I could not have possibly foreseen being this big of an issue.<\/p>\n And he refuses to communicate with me either in any capacity.<\/p>\n He told my other roommate that my text apology didn\u2019t feel genuine.<\/p>\n But I don\u2019t get how else I was supposed to apologize when he says I can\u2019t speak to him.<\/p>\n Uh oh! It sounds like OP\u2019s joke may have touched a sensitive subject for her roommate.<\/p>\n Never Miss a Story<\/p>\n Sign up to get our BEST stories of the week straight to your inbox.<\/p>\n It\u2019s understandable that he felt hurt, even if OP didn\u2019t intend to offend him.<\/p>\n However, I agree that refusing to talk to her for two weeks after receiving an apology seems excessive.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s read the responses of other people to this story.<\/p>\n Short and honest.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s another personal remark.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s a valid point.<\/p>\n If you enjoyed this story, check out this post<\/a> about a mom who has been saving for her child\u2019s private education, but now her stepson\u2019s mother expects her to do the same for her stepkid.<\/p>\n Get professional help, advises this one.<\/p>\n Finally, this makes sense, too.<\/p>\n Roommate disagreements shouldn\u2019t come with a two-week waiting period!<\/p>\n Enjoyed this story?
