Should I confess this?

[keri6789]

I’m having a little problem. Saturday night I was with my friend at her brothers house. I got a horrible migraine so I took one of my migraine pills and went and laid down. My friend game and asked if she needed to drive me home and I told her that I was feeling a little better and I was going to leave in a few minutes. I fell back asleep and woke up the next morning still at the guys house. I’ve gone out a few times with this guy and he was a gentleman and slept in his extra room. He came in the next morning to check on me and said that he knew I felt awful and didn’t want to wake me up so I could go home so he said he covered me up and went in the other room to watch tv. One of my other friends thinks I need to confess this. If I’m understanding right, she thinks since I slept in his bed that I did something wrong. I slept alone. He came in there earlier that night and sat with me and checked on me all night…we did not sleep in the same bed. Did I do something wrong by sleeping there?? I guess I’m just confused if this is wrong.

Thanks for the help!!

Absolutely innocent of any wrong doing. Someone else is being scrupulous for you. Ignore them. It sounds as though you have a pretty good idea of when sleeping over and under what conditions it would be wrong. I hope you are feeling better.

Of course you did not do anything wrong. You were ill and your friend took care of you. There is nothing to confess.

I’m. He came in the next morning to check on me and said that he knew I felt awful and didn’t want to wake me up so I could go home so he said he covered me up and went in the other room to watch tv.

number one, why the need to discuss your life with this friend
number two, I you really do have moral questions why not just ask a priest (unless your friend is a priest)
number 3, I have had migraines for years and “sinful conduct” is the last think you feel like doing at that time
number 4, if you know you have not done anything wrong (as opposed to imprudent) don’t beat yourself up about it, just try not to let yourself get in that situation again, which could lead to a scenario you don’t want or expect. imprudent, even dumb, actions are not sins necessarily, so why not weed out friends who give bad advice.

I agree with the above posters, you didn’t do anything wrong. I would be cautious of those kind of situations in the future just because they could be a near-occasion of sin, but you did nothing wrong.

Thanks everyone for your responses. I’m still new to all this…I just joined the Church this past Easter and still come across situations that I’m not sure about. I had every intention of going home but that migraine came out of no where. Thanks again for all the responses!!

Nothing wrong… and you have found out that your male friend is a true gentleman. Keep that friendship.

At least your friend is concerned about your soul, OP, you can always remember that…or shes jealous
