What I really want to say is yes.. but I really think that the answer most of the time is no. Unless one is super unattractive, and doesn't think the other is even remotely attractive and/or is gay.
Hasn't anyone seen "When Harry Met Sally"?
"There is no such thing as a platonic relationship between a man and a woman!"
It's true.

The answer is simply no whatever the circumstance. At some point your husband will have feelings about doubt as he is supposed to be the only man in your life. Friends denotes the sharing of feelings and emotions with another person, a person who you depend upon. This is the role of your husband and anything else will eventually be construed as an "emotional affair" and leaves to much room for trouble. You need to just step away from your friend as there is no halfway measure to be taken if you chose to have no possibility of messing up your marriage.

No. That's going to lead to nothing but trouble. Your husband should be your best friend. How would you feel if your husband was having a platonic relationship with a single woman whom he considered his best friend?

At some point you are going to have to respect marriage and what it means. Simply put, if your hubby has no problem with it, then I would ask "is my marriage in trouble?". That is, unless your friend was gay, then possibly. I say, "possibly" as some men don't feel comfortable around gay men. At some point your going to have to put your husband first, and while a "best friend" denotes several ideals, wouldn't you rather your husband be your best friend?
Any man who loves a woman is going to get upset at some level when their wife, in your case, has a male best friend, gay or not. The level of his dissension is dependent on whether or not he is included in this friendship as a husband should be, or even if he likes your "friend".
Wives have every right to have friends, male or female, and to be "trusted" as a wife. This applies to hubby as well.
I am going to suggest that you picture your husband going to dinner and a movie with his best friend on a Sat evening, while you cleaned house, or watched tv, or didn't feel well, or didn't want to. I have no doubt it wouldn't bother you at all when his best friend showed up in the slinkiest, sexiest little dress ever, looking like a playboy model.
Even if she was not the perfect "10", wouldn't you "see her" that way at some point?
You can have your cake and eat it too, but at some point your going to get messy.

It is possible, but rare. Usually it can be a stumbling block in a marriage. /For instance if things get strained between you and the hubby, the "friend" can become like an emotional affair.
As a married women, your husband is your number one emotional connection.
I also think it depends on the people involved.
I personally would n't want m y man having time out with his lady friend.
You might be playing with fire. One moment of temptation when you guys are both vulnerable can lead to desaster

If your husband isn't your best friend, then you've got other problems than platonic relationships with other men.

YES< but only if you are open about the friendship with your family. Now if it is a secret no it is not right. I just had this happen to me. I have a friend,he is so close that he comes to the house for any family function like Christmas, Thanksgiving,birthday parties, or my daughters graduation. See mine was out in the open. BUT on the other hand my husband had one that was a secret he works with her they would go to expensive lunches and even instant message each other now that was wrong. We are mow trying to work things out. Good luck to you.

sometimes but only if she single man feels nothing but friendship for the married woman. If the guy has even a crush on her probably not.
