Asking Eric: Years later, there's fallout from the drama of my missionary days
Briefly

In response to a missionary's concerns about relationships with two women in South America, the adviser suggests that there is no obligation to make amends with Jane or confront Mary. The advisory emphasizes that the missionary set clear boundaries, and while Jane's intentions were good, she crossed boundaries by insisting the missionary should be wary of Mary. The situation reflects more on Jane's actions rather than the missionary's, who maintained healthy communication throughout the interactions.
"Your personal standard may be different from mine, in which case, follow your own, of course, but I don't think you're obligated to make amends to Jane nor confront Mary."
"From your letter, it doesn't appear that you did anything inappropriate. Indeed, it sounds like you had clear, healthy, well-communicated boundaries with Jane and Mary."
