Ep. 474: Can Men + Women Be Friends, No Strings Attached?

Today, we’re bravely tackling a question no one has ever dared to ask before: can men and women be friends? Okay, okay, we hardly have a new take on this topic—of course they can!—but as two women whose marriages ended due to infidelity, sometimes the answer can feel a little more complicated.
