Would you consider this an affair?

Straight people of the opposite gender always have sexual tension between them- either one way or both ways. I don't know why people this is ever not the case.

I have one close male friend who is like a brother to me. He and my husband are also good friends. There is not one ounce of sexual tension.

Often times it's not the case between spouses. Sexual tension has long since evaporated for many of them.

No. He is separated.

My guess is that the husband spent Christmas with wife and kids an OP's friend spent Christmas complaining to OP

If you have to ask- then you know it is to your partner

They do things like meet for lunch or the occasional dinner or maybe a concert or movie. They have never been sexual in any way, but she speaks very admiringly of him and he of her. They greet each other with cheek kisses. As there is no sex involved, their relationship does not meet the legal definition of adultery, but would a reasonable person looking from the outside assume they are having an affair?

No. That's called friendship. She's married, not dead.

Yes, you now have emotional aids aka guilty conscience and mental infatuation

+1! I have the same kind of friendship with a male friend who's been friends with both DH and me for decades now.

I can see how the people described in OP's first post are just friends. Regardless, it's none of OP's business. I wonder why OP is so fascinated with the situation. Perhaps OP has some tension for one of the parties involved? Or perhaps OP has nothing else to do on Boxing Day?

From your description, we couldn't possibly know if this is an affair or just friends. As long as the husband and and wife are separated, it doesn't matter what it is.

Not true. All you need to prove adultery is prove disposition of affection and opportunity. So yes both of you losers can cross sue each other for adultery.

Just get a divorce already.

Yes. It is a betrayal of the marital trust.

This is ridiculous.
