DH here.  Have a similar relationship w a female.  She has what appears to be a very happy marriage marriage.  Mine is pretty strong (we fight infrequently, have regular sex, try to respect each other's needs)  Female friend and I don't really talk about our spouses.  And, while we flirt a little (similar teasing to poster above) we don't talk about anything sexual.  We text, but never late at night.  I think we both try to maintain certain boundaries.

We both rely upon each other emotionally and other than our marriages and sex, we probably talk about everything else.  We also have told each other how important the other is - but never in a way referring to love or a long-term relationship - just thankful for our friendship and positive qualities we like in the other.  Sometimes I feel sexual tension - but I'm a guy, so it's probably imagined.

When one of us is on vacation I try to avoid all contact.  She sometimes breaks that rule - I don't think she has the same rule for herself.  But, again, it's just a hello.  Hope everything is good type contact.  Never, I miss you.

I'm sure most would classify our relationship as an EA.  [/quote]

PP, why do you try to avoid all contact when one of you is on vacation? I have a sort of similar situation and wondered about this.[/quote]

I try to maintain boundaries. When she's on vacation I want to give her and her family space. I'm okay if she checks in but I try not to intimate anything. Same when I'm on vacation. I don't mind when she reached out to say hello but I definitely don't feel the need to check in. [/quote]
