I respectfully disagree with the previous commenter. There are hugs... and then there are hugs. It's very different for a woman to give a guy a quick arms-around-shoulders-hug versus an arms-around-the-waist-and-head-on-his-chest embrace that lasts for a few moments. I agree with the husband who wrote the question that this type of physical contact isn't appropriate for people who aren't married to each other. It's likely to stir up or increase inappropriate feelings.
It's so much better for everyone to stay on the safe side of the line.

For heaven's sake, it was a hug! I hug my friends, male and female, all the time. i think something else is going on with this guy if he is upset because his wife gives a male friend a hug.
