Emotional infidelity

I have a feeling that MY FRIEND is going to disappoint me one day and side with the enemy who thinks men and women can't be just friends. I agree that if one of the parties has feelings for the other, a friendship cannot survive. And things get more complicated if either or both parties have significant others. MY FRIEND is married; I am single. His wife is supposedly very controlling and posssessive, and she cut off the last friendship he had with a girl. When he told me the circumstances, I told him that I did not blame her. I thought the "girl friend" crossed some boundaries with her gifts and phone calls. For all intents and purposes, she was committing emotional infidelity. When I agreed with his wife, he accused ME of siding with the enemy. I value this boy's friendship. I want nothing other than our great conversations. Talking to him for a few hours on a Friday afternoon is better than most of the conversations I've had all week. I do not feel a romantic spark or any kind of uncomfortableness around him. It is purely platonic. I asked him today if he thought that his wife would put an end to our friendship, and he said she would. I smiled a smile that I thought I had hidden from his sight. He asked me what I was thinking. I told him that when I was younger, whenever I was threatened by my father with a slap because of my sharp tongue, I would say what I had to say if I was going to get it anyway. And if I was going to be accused of something, I might as well commit the crime. He smiled a sheepish smile and said that he has told her that if he were to be accused of cheating that he may as well do it. I think we both knew what was going on through our minds. I hope that we will never be tempted by each other. I hope we prove everyone wrong who think that men and women cannot be friends. I hope that in the end, we celebrate the uniqueness of our friendship.
