I'm not sure that the OP is reading the replies, Annie  :-\

A quick read of it suggests a relationship via husbands and wives. They would be affines (related through marriage)  not kin.
I agree & was trying to make it as clear as one can...simple answer is...no relation whatsoever to the OP.

Again a snotty reply. All I asked was a question, and is it possible to be related not via blood, but distantly via marriage?

Don't be so rude. We have beeen trying to answer you question but you don't seem to understand.

We have been trying to tell you for a good while that you are related by marriage but not by blood.

This means that you are not related biologically.

If you want to do further investigations, it might be worth you and your friend taking DNA tests(probably Ancestry)  and upload the results to other sites which have chromosome browsers, etc. so that you can check if you are possibly related by 'blood'.

If you really want to include the 'person' as part of your family tree, the term I would use is 'connected' via several marriages to the husband of your g g/aunt.

The definition you gave...

"5th cousin of wife of 2nd cousin 4x removed of husband of 2nd cousin of husband of great-grandaunt"...

clearly shows no 'relationship' to your family although there's a very remote 'connection' to the husband of your g g/aunt.

As an example, my maternal aunt married & her husband became my uncle (through marriage) & their children are my 1st cousins.

In no way am I 'related' through marriage to anyone else in my uncle's family no matter how close or distant to him...

He married my bloodline aunt (sister of my mother) & any relationship with him & his wider family ends there as nobody else in his family is 'related' to me via that marriage.
If I was talking to someone who knew my uncles' sister, I wouldn't say I was related to her because I'm not, not even through marriage.
To explain any 'connection' to my 'family', I'd say she was 'related' to my cousins as she's their aunt & no relation to me.

That's the best I can explain your very remote 'connection'.

So basically my friend is very distantly related to me, via not a bloodline relative? A simple yes/no answer
