POLL: Can Men & Women Be Close Friends?
(CBS)
It's a debate that's gone on for years: Can men and women really be close friends?
In the classic romance/comedy
When Harry Met Sally, Billy Crystal's character argues that men and women can't be friends because sex always gets in the way.
The topic recently came to light again when Alex Rodriguez's wife Cynthia filed for divorce, citing his alleged affair with Madonna. The pop icon however claims the two are simply good friends and they've never been romantically involved. But can a spouse still cheat "emotionally?"
Now we're asking for your input. Is it worse for a spouse to have an extramarital affair emotionally or sexually? And of course, is it OK for men and women to be friends?
