Not saying I approve of the situation but given the situation he was at least spared any greater suspicion or accusations.
That is true that is is better to be safe than sorry. And even though I don’t like it, I will admit that like other men here I go for the abundance of caution to keep myself safe. A couple of years ago I spent the night at a friend’s house. In the middle of the night for some reason his three year old daughter got up and crawled onto the sofa with me. I told her “I think your Mommy and Daddy want you to get in bed with them”. I was frightened at what my friend and his wife might think when they awoke the next morning to find her sleeping there with me. I mentioned it to them the next day and they just laughed about my concern—all three of their children sleep with them from time to time and I guess they harbor no suspicion about me so they didn’t see a problem. Still I would probably do the same thing again just to be safe.
