The way to tell if the relationship is inappropriate is if they can not have their converstaions entirely in front of the other spouses and have EVERYONE be comfortable with it.
This makes sense in male/female friendship situations but is not the same as.....

In other words, male/female relationships outside of marriage need to be kept very shallow, like talking about the weather.
My H and I have a lot of friends who are other couples. Whilst I agree with the comment regarding subject matter being something that could be discussed openly in front of other spouses I think the final statement goes just too far. I would like to think I care more than that about some of my friends' husbands - that doesn't mean I want to have an A with them. I certainly want to have deeper and more intellectual conversations with them than the weather!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BTW one can have very suggestive conversations about the weather - it's more about how one say's it than what.
