Strawberry Letter

Dear Steve and Shirley, I have been married for eleven years and can honestly say that I trusted my wife and loved her unconditionally, but now I'm questioning our commitment because she lied and withheld information. The week before Christmas, she and her best friend went to Orlando to do some Christmas shopping and she transferred thousands of dollars to her personal account, like six thousand dollars, but I was cool with it because she works hard and she is a great mom. While she was gone, I took the kids to Tennessee to visit with my parents. My wife and I were both distracted, so we didn't talk much during the few days we were apart. I told her that I would be back in time to pick her up from the airport, but she said she would ride with her best friend......................................See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m 34 years old and my significant other is 39 and we’ve been together for 3 years. I call him my significant other because he has yet to define our relationship. We started as friends, just like most couples do and as we got closer, he told me that he didn’t want anything serious but he enjoyed spending time with me. We started having sex a month after we met and at that time, I was very busy at work and helping my sister with her new baby, so I was not ready for anything serious either.............................See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am an older married woman and this is my second marriage. When I met my husband, he was extremely handsome and generous. We connected spiritually and he joined my church. We didn’t court for long and he said he knew I was his soulmate the minute we met. I knew things could be going too fast because I’m his third wife, but I felt the same connection to him so I agreed to marry him................See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dear Steve and Shirley, My boyfriend and I have been dating for about 5 months and he’s the best man I’ve ever been with and he treats me really good. There’s a situation that I’m dealing with and my man doesn’t understand why it’s bothering me. When we first met, he had just gotten a divorce. I mean it was literally finalized the day before I met him. Because it was a quick divorce, he was still living in the house he shared with his wife.....................See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a 27 year old man and I have a best friend and we've been super tight for years. We have been thru all the good and bad girlfriends together and now that he’s married, I want to tell him so bad that his wife is too much. She’s too much of everything. She’s tall, thick, wears big hair, big lashes and her nails and toe nails are very long.....................See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am having a major problem. My fiancé and I have been together for almost 2 years. She is 37 and I am 29. In the early stages, we use to throw down in the bedroom! I'm talking about doing it everywhere like 5 times a week and multiple sessions at a time, to the point where we ended up with bruises or bite marks. Her hair could never stay done back then. But lately, I can barely get her to take care of my needs and her mood about sex has drastically changed.................. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a 48 year old single, educated and professional woman that has never been married. I have dated 3 guys in the last 8 years and decided to give it a rest until recently when I met a very nice man that works with my aunt. We talked a few weeks over the phone before we met. Then he called me one day and said he’d been in a bad car accident and his face hit his steering wheel so he had to have emergency oral surgery and all he could think about was me....................See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm a 32 year old single man and I started a sexual relationship with a female that hangs out with me and my boys. She’s like one of the boys and we party together, work out together and she travels with us on our annual guys’ trip. She is a good friend and we respect her and her sexual preference. We’ve never talked about her love life, but I assumed she never dated a man before. We’ve been friends since middle school and she has always been a pretty girl........................

Dear Steve and Shirley, My husband and I are in our late 30s and we’ve been together for almost 20 years. We have 4 children and we always had a robust sex life until 2 years ago when everything changed. My husband gradually lost interest in sex and whenever we’d try, he would stop in the middle of it and tell me he was tired. I had no idea what was wrong with him and I started to think that he wasn’t attracted to me anymore. One night when he told me no to sex, I started crying. He finally came clean and admitted that he was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and it affected his ability to perform..............See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’ve been kicked out of my church and I need some advice. I attended a very messy church and if you did not do things the way the pastor thought you should, he would call you out. I have had a few run-ins with him over stuff I post on my personal Facebook page. I told him that I can post what I want on my page and it has nothing to do with him or the church. I’m sure the real problem was the fact that I was sleeping with one of the deacons, but the pastor couldn’t say anything because everybody knew he was having an affair............See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I have been in a relationship for 4 years and my boyfriend and I live 3 hours apart. We’ve always been in a long-distance relationship and I thought everything was fine, until recently. He started talking about marriage after we dated 2 years and he said he would gladly move to Philly to be with me. I got all excited about marriage and I started preparing myself emotionally and financially to be with him for the rest of my life....................................

Dear Steve and Shirley, about 2 years ago I messed around with my sister’s husband after a drunken night out. I made him swear that nothing would ever happen between us again. We managed to stay away from each other but he would text me often, begging for just one more night with me. He would tell me how sexy I am and I’m the best he’s ever had and he’s with the wrong sister and all of that...................... See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm on my second marriage and there's an issue in my marriage. My husband was married for 18 years and he's got two daughters and joint custody of them. I have a daughter that lives with us. We've blended the family nicely and his daughters are sweet to my daughter, but they like to remind her that their father is not her father. My husband is not good at setting boundaries for his ex-wife. When we started dating, he let me know that he and his ex are friends and whatever he does for her is for his daughters. I can accept that, but when it gets to be too much, I step in to help him set boundaries................... See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m a 42 year old single mother of a son that is 20 years old. My son’s girlfriend just had a baby that is fair skinned and they both are chocolate. This girl is 21 and a dancer at a bar across town. She says she’s not a stripper but that’s all she is. My son is afraid to ask this girl for a paternity test, so I did. When my son went to visit the baby, she jumped on him and then called me and said if I keep putting my son up to this foolishness, I would be next....................................See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’ve been married for 14 years and I have a busy schedule as a high school basketball coach. After years of marriage, my wife still doesn’t get how stressed I am around this time of year and she had been pressuring me to buy a Christmas tree and have it up by December 1st. I missed her deadline cause of my schedule......................................... See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm in a long distance relationship with a man that my daughter hooked me up with. He's a bodybuilder, and my daughter met him at her gym. She said, "She was looking in the mirror working out when he came and stood in front of her to see himself in the mirror." She said, "other than being vain, he's extremely quiet and nerdy." He and I talked a lot in the beginning, and it was fun to have someone to talk to.........................See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm in love with another man, and I just need to make it through the holidays with my current boyfriend so I can dump him and get with the new guy, but, I need your advice before I let a sure thing go and move on to a fairy tale lover. I don't want to leave my current boyfriend just yet, because he is getting my brakes fixed on my car and he's getting me a bracelet that I want for Christmas. I already saw it hiding in his drawer, so I'm doing all I can to stay faithful until the new year. My new man is in a similar situation, but he's married. He advised me to stay put while he lets his marriage fizzle on out.......................See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dear Steve and Shirley, My husband and I have been married for eight years and we have three children under age six. That means I'm always tired and trying to get a nap whenever I can. If I happen to be in the bed lying down or on the couch lying down, my husband thinks it's a perfect time for him to ask for sex. Although I might be very tired at the moment, I will always give him a quickie so he won't feel neglected. I don't want to be so tired that I make him go seek intimacy from another woman. Last week, I was so tired that I fell asleep a couple of times during intimacy and my husband did not stop.............................................See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dear Steve and Shirley, One of my sister's best friends has been dating a man for ten years and he hasn't proposed to her yet, but he's cheated on her several times. He swore that he would never cheat on her again and he joined her church to gain her trust back so she wouldn't leave him. She's still with him and she started to suspect he was cheating again after he turned his phone off her few times while he was out at night. My sister had a brilliant idea that was supposed to help her friend out.............................................See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dear Steve and Shirley. I met a man online and he's a decent guy with a good job and a great set of friends. We've gone on double dates with my friends and his friends, and I did that because that's how you get to really know a person. The drawback of it is that my friends also get to point out the bad things about my man. We had a double date with my best friend and her man and my best friend. He said that it's too soon for my man to be as hands on as he is, meaning he can't talk without touching me. She said he was going to start pressuring me for sex too soon. She was spot on with that one, so I couldn't be mad at her...............See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dear Steve and Shirley. I used to think I was the luckiest girl in my city because of who I was dating. My boyfriend is tall, with creamy brown skin and a decent body. He's on the city council, and he sits on the board of a very prestigious private club in our city, and he's known for making things happen in our community. Dating him is not what I expected it to be, though. As soon as he changes out of his suit, he reverts to the little boy from the hood, and it's scary to be around him. He won't just have one drink, it's half the bottle. So I have to entertain him and laugh at his drunken sense of humor................................................See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm dating a man that goes overboard to please me. We've been together for three years, and from our first date until today, he's always done too much. Our first date was at a place where you could eat and play games. I wore a dress and a pair of heels, and he came in workout clothes. I didn't know where he was taking me, so I was shocked. When we pulled up. He made us matching shirts to wear and told me that he wanted to see how good I was at basketball............................................See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm a fifty one year old man and I have a wife, but I haven't lived with her in four years. It's a long story, but I'll try to make a brief. Four years ago, my cousin had a bad divorce and he needed somewhere to stay, so my wife and I let him rent one of our side of a duplex we own. I made him promise to be respectful to my older tenant that shared the duplex with him, because she's a Christian woman that loves peace and quiet. He moved in, and in less than two weeks, the old lady called me to complain about sex noises coming from his side of the duplex........................See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I've been friends with my boyfriend for seven years. I met him at work and there's another girlfriend of ours that is our bestie. We were inseparable back when we met and it was a shocker for our other friend when we started dating it just kind of happened that one night. We talked until the sun came up and we ended up having sex on the top of his car. He told me that it's always been me the apple of his eye the girl of his dream and my heart melted. I called our other friend to tell her the news and she started crying. I asked if she was happy or sad and she said both. She explained that she didn't want to lose our friendship but she was happy that we finally hooked up because all he did was talk about me...................................See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dear Steve and Shirley, about a year ago I left my home church to join another church. I was dating the church’s drummer and he invited me to join. I fell in love with the atmosphere of the church and the senior pastor was really good. When I joined, I was asked to help put together a praise dance team. I enlisted the help of the associate pastor to help me. The associate pastor is only 3 years older than me and we connected on so many levels................See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m a 30 year old woman that’s in a dirty situation with my man. I love my man and couldn’t have asked for a better partner, but there’s one thing about him that ticks me off. He hates to wash his hands! We've been together for 6 years and we just got engaged. We moved in together last month and that’s when I noticed his nastiness. He works long days at a factory and when he comes home, he changes his clothes and flops down on the bed.............. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a 30 year old single woman, forced to live with my 46 year old father for the first time ever in my life. I moved in with him last year after I got pregnant and lost my job all in the same month, during the pandemic. My parents got pregnant with me in high school, so I was raised by my 2 grandmothers and I thought of my dad as an older brother or a playmate because he didn’t do anything but play with me when I was younger...................

Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm a 57 year old married man and I’m on my second marriage. My wife has two daughters from a previous marriage and they’re both grown and live in different cities. The oldest daughter is 29 now and she has a 1 year old son. My wife is looking forward to Thanksgiving because she will have the girls home and she can spend quality time with her grandson, but I’m not excited about us all being under one roof, because I had an affair with the oldest daughter....................See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m going to jump right on in. I cheated on my wife two years ago with a woman that constantly threatened to call my wife when she didn’t get what she wanted. This went on 2 years until I ran out of money and decided to end the affair. This woman called my wife a few days later. I was out, cutting the yard when she called my house and my wife answered..................See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm a 30 year old married woman and my husband and I have been together for 6 years. We have a 3 year old son and since I had the baby, our intimacy has gotten a little stale. We tried role playing, watching videos and talking dirty to keep the magic going, but nothing helped. A friend suggested we put a full-length mirror next to our bed because it worked for her and her hubby. They love watching themselves getting it on. My husband and I decided to try it.............
