Yes, she wasn't blocking it, she was in front of it. Should've worded that differently, mb.
She couldn't have continuously asked him if he were alright with the situation. The only way she could've picked up he was uncomfortable with the situation would be to read his body language/mind. I guess I shouldn't blame her too much for not picking up that he was uncomfortable.
TBF I've reread my two posts, and I can't find where I mentioned she was crossing a line. I still think she's taking advantage of his passiveness and unwillingness to go against the flow, no matter how uncomfortable it could make him. But then perhaps it's fairer to put this on him for not conveying his feelings properly.
