friends with opposite sex

Is it acceptable to develop a close friendship with someone of the opposite sex after getting married? Is it appropriate to prioritize chatting with them first thing in the morning and last thing at night, even over your spouse? We've been best friends since forever so these kinds of thing don't feel like anything to me. But apparently, my husband thinks it's a form of cheating...

My motto for opposite sex relationships is: 1. if my spouse doesn't like it, I will not do it. (for example go meet the person) 2. if I need to hide the person or meetups or chats (maybe even one message) from spouse, then I need to start drawing boundaries. 3. if I start wondering if he will be mistaken (no matter how little), I need to draw boundaries. 4. if other people has mentioned or joked about how close we are or wondered if we were a couple before, I need to draw boundaries.
