My wife [F24] has been cuddling our neighbors’ daughter [F22] to sleep every night for the past week and I'm here for it

Throwaway for privacy.

I’m a 25 year old guy, currently traveling for work all week. A few days ago our neighbors completely lost it and kicked their adult daughter out after she came out as asexual. She showed up at our house in tears with basically nothing. My wife felt awful for her, and took her in immediately.

My wife has been bending over backwards comforting her. Every night she’s been letting her sleep in our bed, cuddling so she can actually rest. The poor woman is an emotional mess: rejected by her own parents, scared, and completely lost. My wife has always been the nurturing type, and since she’s bi, she relates even more to how scary coming out can feel when family reacts badly.

I’ve been getting texts from my wife updating me. She says the girl clings to her, falls asleep curled up against her, and it seems to be helping a lot. My wife has mentioned that the constant close contact is stirring up some unexpected feelings on her end. Nothing inappropriate is happening and she’s very clear about keeping strong boundaries and just providing comfort but but she admits it’s more intimate than she anticipated and it’s affecting her emotionally and physically.

I’m supportive and if I'm being honest, kind of turned on by it. But hearing my wife as being so caring, hearing how this vulnerable girl trusts her completely, and knowing the way its bringing up her nurturing insticts, I feel so proud of my wife. Being able to overcome the strangeness of the situation to help a friend. She’s doing the right thing and I'm falling in love all over again with how selfless and caring she is.

I get home in a couple days. I plan to talk to her openly about it, support her through whatever she’s feeling, and just be there for both of them. The neighbor girl needs stability right now more than anything, and I think my wife is going above and beyond to be able to provide any amount of stability she can. It seems to be a very delicate situation right now, so I think the best thing to do would be to show her that I don't think any less of her for her preferences, and to show that me and my wife are here for her.

I guess this is still a confession because of how strange the situation seems, but the overpowering feeling I have is pride for my wife and the lengths she is going to care for a friend.
