For instance, the parties do not deny that they were together in the apartment at the times alleged in the petition and they readily concede that there were occasions when the two spent the night together in the co-respondent’s apartment. Also, it is apparent that this couple maintained a very close personal relationship during the period of time when the acts of adultery allegedly were committed and in fact their relationship was so close that it was characterized by the co-respondent as ‘romantic’ and was consistent with the wife’s statement of her own intention to be married to the co-respondent. Such circumstances certainly render applicable the following language in Morris v. Morris, La.App., 152 So.2d 291 , cited with approval in Poole v. Poole, La.App., 189 So.2d 75 : ‘. . . Both appellee and Harler conceded that on several occasions they were together in appellee’s apartment until the early morning hours. In fact our careful reading of the record in this case reveals that appellee and Harler admitted virtually all of appellant’s evidence denying only that they committed the act of intercourse itself. We believe the record herein fairly and reasonably shows, to that certainty required by law that the opportunity and inclination to commit adultery has been established . . . ’””
