Something that should have not happen
Throwaway for obvious reasons.
Recently I went to Mumbai with someone very close to me (26F) to celebrate her birthday. I’m 28M. We had a fun day at the beaches and cafes, then went to a club in the evening. We both drank a lot and got pretty wasted. When we reached our Airbnb, one thing led to another and we ended up having sex.
It was a huge mistake. We were both extremely drunk and it should never have happened. Since that night we’ve barely spoken to each other. The awkward silence is getting worse and it’s eating me up inside. I’m having a full mental breakdown thinking about what to do next.
We’ve always had a normal, close relationship. I feel deep shame and guilt. I just want to fix things and go back to how we were before this trip. I’m planning to message her soon but I have no idea how to start the conversation without making it even more awkward.
Has anyone been through something like this? How do I approach her? How do we move past this and rebuild? Any practical advice on handling the guilt, awkwardness, and this mental stress would really help.
