I mean , I guess only one can sleep with her and give her babies, but atleast the other one can still share a type of intimacy with her as well??
Please be mature in answering this question, as it IS VERY important to me right now.

Not without things turning into an emotional affair.
Even if the 2 friends never sleep together, I still believe it is cheating when a spouse has to turn to another outside of marraige for emotional fulfillment.
Does one lie to spouse about how much time is spent with the friend?
Does one get excited just thinking about contacting or seeing the friend next?
Does one hope the spouse never finds out how much this friend means?
If any of the answers are YES, then the married person needs to take a step back and re-evaluate the marraige before this friendship goes any further. Emotional affairs can be harder to forgive than physical affairs...giving ones body in the heat of the moment is one thing, but giving someone else outside of marraige ones heart & dreams & laughs is another thing completely.

I have a male best friend and he knows and likes my husband !! We love each other but sex is out of the question and we know it. I wouldn't do or say anything to ruin what we have . We tell each other I love you he will say I love you too but only when he is leaving or we are finished talking on the phone !! Some cultures will not except this but I don't have that problem!! Thank Goodness!!

When in my early twenties, I had three very close female friends who were married. Two were married to men who were also very close friends of mine.
One guy worked offshore. I knew him first and she and I became close because of his absence and he was grateful of it. Every once in a while, she and I would acknowledge the love that grew between us, but both honored her husband, my friend. (she once told me she married the wrong man)
One was my friend first, but we had not seen each other for a year or two when she met and married my roommate. We grew close again and slept together, when they divorced. LOL, it was about like sleeping w/ ur sister.
The third was totally platonic, she was as close as a sister, and he was so jealous of me and several other of her close friends (5 or 6 of us had lived together through college, but he was not one of the "family" and very insecure) that they eventually divorced.
It is very, very tough, for everyone involved and does wind up intefering with the marriage, eventually. Best to say "I love u, both" and move on.

hmm. well it depends i don't know too many details about your situation here but this is what i know:
in health class (random i know) we talked about 3 different aspects of love.
intamacy, passion, and trust.
true love contains all 3.
other types of love can contain 1 or 2 aspects.
intamacy - you're attracted to thier personality
passion - attracted to their physical appearance
trust - like the friendship bond between them
i hope i helped and good luck with the situation!

I'm not sure what you are asking...but I think there is a love triangle here.
Who did SHE chose as her mate? You can be friends, but I don't think that will work here. You seem to be romantically in love with her.
What you can do is move on and find another girl. It's hard but you can do it. We ALL have.
And if you really love her you wouldn't ask her to risk her marriage.
Hope that helps.
Good luck.
Peace.

Platonic friendships between genders are fine.... if you expect TOO much emotional closeness, even if there is no physical intimacy, there could be trouble

Most guys won't want to be that second man. Just being honest. The other man will most likely always want you in more ways than just friendship.

Husband and Wife are also friends with one another.
If you are asking if you can have a Platonic relationship with a married woman, Yes.
Speaking from experience.

yes.and this is from one who has that kind of relationship. the only way it will work is if all parties involved have an understanding that there are more than 2 people are involved.
