To the question in your OP: absolutely not. This is just a pre-planned emotional and/or physical affair.

I am a married woman with several single guy friends. Some of them my DH is also friends with, some are people I met at work or know from another part of my life that are more "my" friends but my DH knows about them and has zero issues with our friendship. I actually just got back in touch with an old friend who is recently divorced. When I went to meet him for coffee to catch up, my DH and I were joking that he was reaching out in the hopes I was looking for a side piece. It was funny. It was actually just a friend trying to get back in touch with people after a tough relationship, no shady business at all.
But I'm happily married and am not interested in any of my friends, single or otherwise. If I were miserable in my marriage and actually attracted to one of these guys, it's a recipe for an affair or divorce, obviously. But the problem is the marital unhappiness and the attraction to this other person. Not the "friendship".
