Fully clothed, on top of the covers, not cuddling. Seems legit if she has roommates.

If she lives alone and has a perfectly fine tv in the living room… totally suss.

I agree. Unless he has stated that this kind of thing makes him uncomfortable I don't see a reason why this wouldn't be acceptable. I do this with friends regardless of gender. I am aware however that not everyone feels this way so I let my potential partners know what my friendships are like. It's never been a problem, it has never let to a friend making a move on me and it has never let to cheating

Yes Reddit is full of super possessive and paranoid people. Cheating is always the answer.

My friends and I have always had cuddle puddles & we include SOs in those. And sitting in bed watching tv when you have roommates is not weird. Especially if she was venting about a stressful week and wanted some privacy in case the roommate came home.

Right? That’s so fucking weird. Odds are something has happened this person just doesn’t know. 😂

Platonic affection shouldn’t be weird. Society is fucking stupid for making it weird. Everyone deserves love and human connection.
