People married to other people. Is it all right for them to be friends via e-mail if that's all they do together? Like sending each other forwards and talking about what they have been doing etc.

Why not? But in the end, I guess it is up to their spouses to answer that question. If the spouse doesn't think it's right, then likely it's not.

I wouldn't have a problem with it if it was truly just a friendship.

It depends on the relationship, obviously.

My husband doesn't have a problem with me e-mailing other people, why should he? He also doesn't have a problem with me being Facebook friends with an old boyfriend from High School. He's secure in himself and in our relationship as a whole.

If they live in different states or countries. In the same vicinity, well won't be too long before they start hooking up.

Guaranteed majority of men that do this don't even tell their wives about it, b/c they're trying to get away with one.

You can easily correspond innocently with a friend. You can also easily "emotionally" cheat on a spouse through email correspondence. So it would depend on the nature of the emails whether it would be "ok". It could be, and it equally might not be.

Depends.

Did they know one another before they each got married?

Do their spouses know they are emailing back and forth?

Are boundaries respected?

It depends on a lot of things.

How do their spouses feel about it?
How are each of their marriages going?
Is there (was there ever) any kind of attraction between them?
What are they talking about in the emails?
How often do they see each other?

I'd tread very carefully in this area.
