What's the meaning of this sentence?

Question

And being roommates would have been way too afterwards.

Could you please explain the "way" and "too afterwards" here?
Thank you!

Answer 1

The sentence as given implies that "afterwards" is an adjective capable of applying to the condition of being roommates. A different time reference could have made easy sense, for example "And being roommates would have been way too 1960s" (meaning that the author thought that room-sharing was normal in the 1960s, but not now). I agree there could be a word missing between "too" and "afterwards", such as "awkward" or "embarrassing". "Way" is often a colloquialism for "much". So could the sentence mean that someone had decided not to do something involving another person partly because it would make it difficult for the two of them to continue being roommates? In fact, could the omission of an implied word such as embarrassing just be a colloquiallism or development of language that I haven't come across before? On balance I think it's an editorial error, but the more I think about it the more I like it!

Answer 2

there seems to be a word missing between 'too' and 'afterwards'

Answer 3

Slang talk. If they would have been room mates it would have been too much to bear living together after they moved in together.
.....Do you think this is what it means?

That makes no sense
