Is it normal for a husband to do this?

Is it normal for a husband to still be friends with a woman who told him she is in love with him? He still remains friends with her. No they are not cheating with each other. But is it normal for him to remain friends with her and go out together? He has told his wife she is in love with him but he still remains friends with her. Is this normal?
Is it normal to post same question again and again?

No, it's not normal, not unless he's getting something from this old friend. The wife should be invited to go out too. If she is not invited, they are hiding something from her, and she should find out what?, and why?, pronto!
I have been friends with a guy who I have known since I was 14 and who was in love with me for many years and even to this day when we talk , he still says he will always love me. I never felt love for him but just care for him as a real good friend. I think that has made it possible for us to be friends for so many years and that my guy doesn't feel jealous or threatened by it because he knows I never loved the guy in any romantic way.

So it may not be normal or common, but it happens in real life 🙂

As long as the wife is going to put up with crap like this it's going to keep happening and no I don't think they should go out together.
I wouldn't trust a man who has that little regard for my feelings that he would try to make me feel bad and that's what he's doing.
Reverse it would a man be happy if his wife kept going out with somebody who she told him was in love with her?
Does anybody have any common sense anymore?

I guess it depends on how his wife feels about his contact with her. If she trusts him, then our personal moral opinions don't really matter. It's their relationship. And if this other lady can control her emotional response to the man, then I'm sure all these consenting adults can get along. Personally, I'm not sure why a woman would want to torture herself by remaining in a platonic friendship with a man she's actually in love with. The psychological strain must be immense.
Not a good idea at all. He probably feels flattered and likes the attention, but he's on thin ice.

Yeah it's normal what not normal is for the wife to allow it

Only if he wants to die of a mysterious ailment in his sleep.

At a minimum it is disrespectful to you.

How does his wife feel about it ? That’s the key.
If her feeling is that she trusts her husband, and she’s confident that he would end the friendship if she asked, then there’s nothing more to be said.
