I agree. I know how this will not be received well but I had an affair with a neighbor years ago. We were both married at the time. We have not been lovers in 10 years but we have continued a friendship for more than 10 years. Maybe it's that there is no mystery remaining, but there's still a strong enough desire for a friendship [ Reply | More ]

I had a mentor at work and we went through some difficult things together. He’s not my religion though so I knew it could never work out and he had a serious girlfriend/wife the whole time I’ve known him and I love her. He became close with my husband. [ Reply | More ]

I have two. In both cases they are devoted to their wife. In one case, we socialize mostly as couples, in the other case, my DH is always invited along and comes maybe 2/3 of the time. That guy is of my parent's generation. We email, but don't text to stay in touch. In both cases there is an emotional boundary. We talk more about events and ideas than emotions (as I would with female friends) [ Reply | More ]

s/o I love that Elementary has never tried to put Holmes and Watson together or even added a "will-they-won't-they" vibe. It's a great (fictional) example of a dedicated, loving, loyal, platonic partnership between a man and a woman. [ Reply | More ]
