A listener in Colorado asks, "What’s the best way to go about having couple friends while also staying guarded if you think the spouse of the other couple is attractive?"

Rusty offers his perspective as the betrayed spouse, emphasizing the importance of open communication and mutual understanding between a married couple. Together, they explore strategies for setting clear boundaries while creating an environment of trust and accountability.
