Doesn't that go beyond "friend" and into tricky territory?
Nope. Loving is what a friend does. Sure, it will be "tricky", as you say, if the R is in disarray but that doesn't preclude either party from loving (Love in the action verb sense of the word).

Oh, it was the "husband" part that I thought was tricky more than the "loving" part.
