No sir, just because I was deeply involved in their private life and invited to an expensive event during my free time by and with them doesn’t mean we’re “friends”. I barely know them!
The owners of my last company took us to a baseball game in an executive suite. Me attending the game did not on any way, shape, or form mean that I condone anything they do in their personal life.
I would not attend a concert if the tickets were given to me by my boss, who is openly going to cheat in front of me while I’m there. Is that wild to you?
No, of course it didn’t say that. But of course he doesn’t invite people over who he can’t trust with that kind of information. So his friends, closer allies or whatever you might call it. Imagine inviting someone over just to have them spill the beans to your family afterwards because you had the wrong impression of their loyalties and values. No way the people that were there weren’t in on it.
Dude was cheating in a highly public place full of cameras. I think your assessment of the people there being part of his exclusive inner circle might be flawed.
And? They aren’t necessarily friends

Did those owners also bring their secret potentially marriage destroying affairs to those official events?
Is that relevant to whether or not attending constitutes condoning it?

Yeah, that’s wild to me. Their personal life has nothing to do with me. Especially since not accepting could have a negative career impact.
And it’s not like the invitation said, “come to the concert and watch me cheat.” How would the other employees know that would be what would happen?
No, of course it didn’t say that. But of course he doesn’t invite people over who he can’t trust with that kind of information. So his friends, closer allies or whatever you might call it.
