I started a new job about 7 months ago and became really close to my coworker. We’ve hung out outside of work plenty of times, and have developed a really close friendship.
We were hanging out with a couple of guys from work and somehow the question came up of “would you do xyz with a girl for 10k” and my friend said absolutely not, I couldn’t do it for a million. I joked and said I’d do it for free. My friend laughed and said “I don’t know how you could do that” and I said that it’s easy cause I like girls. Everybody laughed and we moved on.
The next day at work she asked me if I really liked girls and I said yes I’m bisexual. She got upset and asked me why I didn’t tell her and I said because I didn’t feel like I had to. I told her that I came out the closet at 15, and I don’t really bring it up except to men I’m dating or women I’m romantically interested in, I wasn’t attracted to her in that way so I didn’t feel the need to tell her. She said I was weird for not telling her, and that now she’s uncomfortable and she said she was really upset and that I should’ve told her. It’s been about a week and she doesn’t talk to me unless it involves work, she doesn’t text me, and I’m wondering if I’m wrong for not telling her? Or is she wrong for assuming I should’ve and making a big deal about me not telling her? Should I apologize for not telling her?
Now I feel uncomfortable at my job too, and the guys we were friends with are even acting weird toward me as well.
AITA?
