I'm a recent widow who moved into converted garage studio apartment in June, only to have the city come and say the conversion was illegal and extensive remodeling would be required.
So I found a roommate situation on Craigslist with a woman who had 2 dogs and a cat and didn't mind my having my dog and who was willing to let me move in for 2 or 3 months. We hit it off right away and I'm was very comfortable here. We do our own thing most of the time but we have had dinner a couple of times when I had a buy one get one free coupon, and we go play bingo at my church once a week.
Here's the problem. She is in a long distance relationship with a woman who lives 2 states away. They are on the phone constantly, and my roommate talks about her a lot, and I know she is committed to the relationship. But now the girlfriend is jealous of any time I spend with the roommate. She has assured her that 1) I'm straight, 2) She isn't attracted to me, and 3) She needs friends too. But the phone fights are increasing and the girlfriend recently canceled a visit here.
I don't want to be the cause of this unhappiness. Can't lesbian women and straight women just be good friends?
Love
