They packed a lot into this short. As someone else pointed out, it was a obviously written by men.
Warning spoilers below:
I'm not going to fault the story for that, because I am for not jumping to conclusions. Much as I hate child molestation, I am also very convinced that some men have been falsely accused, not necessarily by children but a lot of times by vindictive, women, especially in child custody cases.
So I do like the fact that she was somewhat measured in her response, but very concerned about her child and, perhaps, part of her concern was finding out something she didn't want to know. It wasn't completely clear that she was concerned about possibly making a false accusation and totally ruining this man's life.
You hope she goes back and tells her friend that this was not true and the friend keeps her mouth shut.
The relationship is broken now because, well, the dad had some great points. She's brought an unknown man into her home with two young children and their young daughter who's going to be growing up within the home.
Whether or not their relationship could be salvaged, he definitely should move out. She'll never look at him and he'll never look at the daughter the same ever again.
I do believe he should not hold her question against her, because he should understand how a parent would feel getting that message and that she should not have not asked the question in deference to him, but in support of making sure her child was safe.
