It is just as possible that a platonic friendship becomes sexual because it seems the only way to get the hugs and snuggles. It seems that, for whatever reason, your colleagues have been able to bypass that trap and get what they wanted from the relationship. Maybe *she* wasn't getting the physical affection she needed in her marriage. Just maybe her husband understood that and trusted her to be truthful with him about the friend- ship with your friend. All sounds pretty healthy to me. Moira Mallison tektronix!moiram
