It is possible but if your husband is living in the UK (with no intentions of leaving the UK) the ECO is likely to wonder why you are applying for a visit visa rather than a settlement visa and whether you are likely to leave the UK before your visit visa expires. Unless you can show your reasons for this you may get refused as the ECO may believe you are trying to 'cheat' the system.
