We’ve all heard the phrase “It takes a village to raise a child" and it rings just as true today. As soon as you hold that new baby in your arms, you can sense the internal doubt of being able to do it alone.

Dear CMR, 

My spouse has a co-worker that is overly friendly and it is creating fears, doubts and insecurities in me. I feel my spouse is not seeing the possible danger, and is even off-putting to my concerns. I fear there are unhealthy boundaries and just worry about a “slip-up,” or that they are missing the beginning of an emotional affair. Any help would be great.

Signed,
