Questionable

One of my coworkers exhibited questionable behavior recently and it just so happens that his wife is away at the moment. He invited another married person out for winetasting, but did not invite her husband. That was sign #1. She thought it was too awkward to go alone so she invited three other people. We declined the invitation to which he responded, 'good.' That was sign #2. When she asked about rescheduling to August, he responded he would not be available anymore because his family would be back. That was sign #3.

Can a married man and a married woman be friends? Yes and no. Yes, they can be friends but with boundaries. No, my hypothetical husband could not be inviting his friend to go winetasting while I was out of the damn country. Where's the trust? The trust would be there, but I am not a believer of placing yourself in unnecessary situations that could introduce temptation.
