Well sure, given certain circumstances, this attraction can be kept from being consummated. But in all honesty I don't know why we would. It's one of the few really democratic relationships that exist in the modern US, with two happily married people celebrating their love for each other. so long as the partners aren't hurt, there's nothing more healthy in the world.

Both of us know the other one isn;t after our money or the equivalent, since we understand we're not going to break up with our current partners.

You rarely find that level of understanding among unmarried people these days.

Yeah, it's possible. Dangerous, though.

If there is ''attraction'' then I would say ''no''.
If you just like someone etc. . . That's like sure why not. . .
But attraction is bit different . . . It has quite huge possibility to turn into something more which won't be healthy for the family life.
Also want to point out . . . What kind of attraction you are talking about.

Question Asker The kind of attraction where you like being around them and you try to spend time with them because you enjoy their company. Nothing your spouse would get mad about like kissing or touching but every now and then you do special things to let each other know you really admire them but without any intentions. - 11 months ago
Answerer My opinion and only.
That kind of attraction has huge possibility to turn into a fare.
So be 100% positive what are the intentions from the both side. - 11 months ago

If there is an attraction, it's a mistake to pursue platonic relationships. Also, every guy that was attracted to me that said he wanted to be friends, continued to pursue me as more than friends. It's just the way it works. Sometimes they are trying to start out platonic, hoping it will turn into more.

Answerer For some reason I thought you were a girl, but the same rules apply. - 11 months ago
Answerer And you are a woman. I must have been confused the day I answered and commented. - 11 months ago
Question Asker That's okay. Thanks for your response. I was interested in him and we share a nice friendship but we are mutually attracted. We BOTH aren't interested in bringing the spouses into the friendship just because we'd like to keep this between us but we aren't wanting to take it any further either. I was just wondering if it's possible to keep it like this or do feelings get in the way? - 11 months ago
Answerer It's difficult to keep a platonic relationship when people think each other are attractive. We have chemicals that get on the brain and they can make us act wacky. We can surprise ourselves with our lack of control in the right/wrong situations when there is an attraction. - 11 months ago

I want to say no, but I also want to think positively. I think that you're looking at the situation from the wrong perspective. You shouldn't be focusing on how attracted you are to each other; you should be focusing on how much you love your spouses. You know.the people you swore forever to.

Tread careful girl. This situation could really blow up in your face. I think it's best that you don't see him. At a minimum - I would make sure that when we hung out our significant others were there just to make sure lines weren't crossed.
