Doc, A recovering drug addict is helpful to another recovering drug addict, so don't hold back your advice.
It was the right thing to do to protect my M, and assist my W in maintaining boundaries, and showing my presence to the OP. I didn't have to say a word to either of them--my presence was enough of an influence.
My W has noticed that I too have become a late night dancer. I used to have all these rules about not going out late at night. I've decided that I need to have a presence and be a dance partner with my W. The reality is that if I let her have too much freedom, I'm communicating that she isn't enough of a priority to be with, and leave her vulnerable to temptation. I don't want to make the same mistakes.
