Am I wrong to believe that men and women can have platonic relationships and that spending nights under the same roof is a socially acceptable practice?
GENTLE READER: Why are you and your husband not chortling at the picture of your good friend speculating about your possible wickedness?
As Miss Manners recalls, there was, indeed, a time when it was assumed that any male and any female who were left unsupervised would go right to it. Now, despite hookup culture, we have had to face the disappointing fact that we are just not perpetually all that sexually charged. One should not assume that even opposite-sex roommates are up to any activity more exciting than video games.
Also, society has learned -- well, not to mind its own business, but at least to register less shock. Time was when wedding guests might question whether a bride was “entitled” to wear a white dress. That nasty bit of fun was spoiled when the maid of honor could be the couple’s daughter, or the best man her previous husband.
Your friend seems not to have noticed the change in attitudes. Miss Manners would be inclined to let her enjoy herself wondering about your scandalous behavior.**
