He always seems to step over the line when it comes to our friendship. In the past, I have just stopped talking to him for a few weeks until he seems to get himself back in check, and then he's cool to hang out with for a while. For my birthday, he basically wrote me a love letter, and for christmas he bought me a white gold bracelet. He really is a good person, and I very much value his friendship. Married or not, I am in no way interested in more than a friendship, and with my recent separation, and upcoming divorce due to my own husbands infidelities, it bothers me very much that he's married, he sees what I'm going through, and he still continues to step over the line. Is there a way to put him in his place, without losing the friendship?

The best way for keep your friend in his place is to visit his place and befriend your wife's friend and see his kids. The hunter becomes the hunted.
It is a good thing that you have your sensibilities in check despite of the divorce and the a hounding married man on your tracks.
If I was the friend-married man, I would dread the sight of you talking to my wife and my kids. It would make me uncomfortable and I would be in check.
