Answer from Master Kosen

If it is friendship or universal love, it is never bad. In the end, once passion is spent, what remains?
At best, friendship. Friendship is the right path toward true love.
Following your romantic passions ultimately brings only destruction and unhappiness.
If you are married and feel attracted to, or even have feelings for, another man, make sure it remains reasonable. Open your heart and sublimate your desires. Being married does not forbid meeting other beings and appreciating or even loving them, and that very love can nourish your bond with your husband and help your relationship grow. It is a very delicate subject and difficult to handle.
