Dear Steve and Shirley, I've been married for two years, and I'm 25 years old. My husband is 26, and he pursued me heavily until I let him take me out. We had a great first date and he told me that he loved me. I fell for him really quick and we got married in no time. He lived out in the suburbs and I had an apartment downtown. So he stayed with me mostly before we got married. Right before the wedding, I moved in with him, and I met three other married couples in his neighborhood. They were all professional men, and they loved to golf, mainly because it was a status thing for them. And I asked my fiancee at the time why he never mentioned these friends. And he said they're his neighborhood friends. And he didn't really hang out with them because he was single. I got upset and asked him if he was rushing into marriage to fit in. He said, absolutely not, and I did not nag him about it. Fast forward to present day and we've been married for two years. My husband thinks it's okay to hang out with his neighborhood friends every Friday and Saturday night. It's fine if they're in the backyard or in one of their man caves, but they like to go to the city to hang out. I'm the only wife in the group that has a problem with it. One of the wives told me that as soon as I start getting tired of my husband, I will look forward to him hanging out at night. My husband said that I'm making us look bad as a unit because I'm always calling around complaining about him being out. I don't like that they let their husbands do whatever they want to do, and I hope it doesn't rub off on my husband....

Dear Steve and Shirley,I've been in a relationship with a man for two years and he treats me like a side chick. I can spend the night at his house, but I can't leave anything at his house. Meanwhile, he has toiletries at my house, and each has left his Steelers blanket folded up neatly on my couch and asked me not to move it. On Sunday, his mom and dad called and said they were stopping by because they were in the area. He said I should go before they got there. I get that it wouldn't be good to meet them for the first time like that, but he couldn't have because he could have been nicer about it or he could have said I could meet them another time.....

Strawberry Letter for Thursday, April 10th, 2025: He Puts It Down, But He's Broke "Dear Steve and Shirley, my man and I were friends for years and he’s always been down on his luck. I called him Bad Luck Barry because he couldn’t ever catch a break. Over the years, we grew fond of each other and we slowly became more than friends. One day he admitted that he’s always loved me and that’s why he has taken such good care of me for 25 years. I could not remember one time he took care of me but then I had flashbacks of the small but sweet things he’s done for me. Things like coming over in the middle of the night when my dishwasher was leaking and painting my bedroom and helping me rake leaves one Sunday afternoon. I then remembered how I had to pick him up and take him back to his brother’s house after he helped me. Despite all of that, I fell for him after we made love for the first time. He went from Bad Luck Barry to Boss Daddy because he put it down! That’s his nickname now and my friends laugh at me because my man is not the boss of anything..."
