Telesphorus, would it make sense if the guy was a priest, and he continued a special friendship with a woman he had dated before he became a priest? Seminarians are not supposed to have "particular friendships", and why is that? (what's the rule after they become priests?)
Or became special friends with a woman while he was a priest? Is it Feeneyism to forbid nurturing a special friendship? (actually I think Fr. Feeney was very close friends with a woman)
Another point to throw out is, many, many times people have had friendships with people whom they sincerely believe nothing would ever happen. But the fact is, infidelity happens all the time, in the workplace, for example. The home wreckers are not necessarily handsome or beautiful at all. Very often they are ordinary or plain, but the proximity and the comfort level becomes the snare. The trust and intimacy, and warmth becomes inviting. Anybody can fall if they are not careful.
In Alex's case, we can see that the married guy feels comfortable enough with Alex to share details about his wife that place her in an unfavorable light. Even if the info was not unfavorable, it concerns marital intimacy-it's not modest. See?
It's not about being the head of the household-the man who cheats on his wife surrenders his authority, if I recall correctly.
