DOD197: Loyalty Testers - Are the Monoggos ok?
Dear Old Dads
All of the dads are back to chat about a concept called loyalty testers, what that means for the relationships that are being "tested", and what it says about the partner that employs the tester, the partner that is being tested, and the individual that does the testing.
