What is it that you miss? The need he was filling (that wasn't being met at home)? Or that new relationship, fantasy, he can do no wrong, he pays attn to me, kind of thing? Those are two very different things.
I don't think anyone would argue against having a close friend, including me. It's the "male or female" thing that made me wince.
Think about this:
1) OM1 wasn't really a "friendship"....it was an EA. 2) EA was filling a need that you weren't getting in your M. 3) If you are missing OM1, is it because you still have a need that isn't being met by your H?

I think that is a great way of thinking of it, and a concept I have been talking about and thinking about a lot lately.
Hang in there...sounds like it's getting a little better each day!
