You have to ask yourself do you really want to save your marriage? Is starting this friendship going to bring your towards your goal or further from it. If its friendship you want then seek it from members of the same sex. Its safer. I know how you feel. Sometimes about just meeting someone of the opposite sex to be friends with but the truth of the matter is I am looking to ease my pain. Not sure if you are a believer or not but if you are then prayer is a huge help. It doesn't look like you guys have been separated that long. GIve it some more time and keep applying what you learn here. I just feel that if you truly love your husband and want to be reunited then starting a friendship with another man is not where you want to be right now.
God Bless
