My best friend is a guy. Now he has become friends with my husband and I am becoming friends with his wife but we are still closer. We, both being married, know how much our spouses mean to us. If my husband were to die or leave me and I were to find myself attracted to my friend, I still would not pursue it because I know how much his wife means to him and he feels the same about me. It is an issue of respect and truly caring for one another. I think there is a perception in our society that men and women must be having sex if they are close. It is not true but I think some men and women who are friends do have sex because they think that they are suppose to if they feel close to one another.
