Dear Steve and Shirley, my husband and I love to hang out after football games. We are Clemson fans and my husband played football so we are all into the games. We met a group of friends at our favorite bar and two of my single girlfriends came. They’re not into football, but they thought some single men might be out. We were sitting back and chilling and one of my friend’s friends joined us..........................See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m married to a man that overindulges in everything he does. He believes in going big in life. If we’re at dinner, he has to invite all of his friends, male and female. He is a big smoker, too. He loves cigars, pipes, weed and hookah and there’s a female in town that owns the smoke shop so he loves to be a big shot and spend a lot of money with her.................................See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m a 29 year old married makeup artist and my husband is a handsome businessman. We got married a month ago and I was hesitant because I saw signs of him being a groupie. Groupie may not be the right word, but he is intrigued by celebrities. When we watch TV, he talks like a woman would, saying stuff about the actress’ hair and outfit. Here’s why I can’t understand my husband…...........See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I have been with my boyfriend for eleven years and he’s eleven years younger than I am. When we met, I had two children from a previous marriage and he said he always wanted to have his own child with me. Well, we never got around to having children together and now I can’t have kids. I suspected that women his age would eventually get his attention, but I never expected him to cheat on me multiple times...................See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I've been divorced for four years and my 7 year old child is caught up in a dysfunctional mess with me and my ex-husband. After my divorce, I found out that my older sister was having an affair with my husband. Throughout the divorce, she was my rock and I turned to her for advice, since she’d been divorced 3 times. All of the signs were there that they could have been messing around, but I was going thru hell, so I didn’t notice...............See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m 47 and I’ve been dating a man that is married to a woman with a very nasty personality and she is ugly inside and out. I went to college with her and she had a few fights with women over her boyfriend back then. She has made my current boyfriend miserable for 12 years and they are finally getting a divorce. Since I’ve been dating her husband, I see that he’s being bullied by her. I didn’t want to believe it at first but she talks to him like he’s a weakling and he won’t say anything to her because she hits below the belt............................See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dear Steve and Shirley, my husband and I have a 4 year old son and a 3 year old daughter. We also have two small dogs. We got one for my son and he didn’t want to share with our daughter, so my husband went and bought her a dog too. We are happy with our little family but we are consumed with household chores and taking care of our children and pets. I work out after work so my husband takes the children and the dogs to the park down from our house.....................................See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dear Steve and Shirley, my husband and I are headed towards a divorce if he doesn’t stop lying to me and playing me for a fool. I work the third shift as a dispatcher but I make sure our children are ready for bed before I leave. I think I’m a great mom and an even better wife, so I get offended when my husband acts like I am falling short on my wifely duties........................................See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m a 58 year old pastor and I’m single. My wife of 25 years cheated on me in my own house so it was a major embarrassment to me and my church. We tried to work it out but after a few months of another pastor counseling us, she let it be known that she was not interested in staying with me. It was a double whammy because she also left town right after she told me she didn’t want me. My life is at a standstill because she doesn’t want a divorce.........................See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m a 38 year old single woman and I’ve been dating a man that is 36 years old. We have ups and downs because I feel like he is in love with his grandmother. She is not really his grandmother but she definitely could be. They used to mess around before we started dating and she was more or less a sugar mama. She has got to be 70 but she’s a personal trainer and her body is in tip top shape..........................................See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m 30 years old and in the past 2 years, I’ve had 4 relationships that didn’t last over a few weeks. When I meet these guys, everything is great for a while and then it goes south because they can’t be monogamous. The last guy I dated is a nerd so I figured he would be more settled. He’s 34 with no children and he’s never been married. I found out last week that he loves the strip club......................................See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m divorced and dating again. I have a special friend that is in a complicated marriage and I slipped up and had sex with him a few weeks ago.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’ve been married to my best friend for a very long time. He and I do everything together since we retired this year.

We can not stand this guy she’s marrying, but we’d never tell her..................................See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m a 33 year old recently single woman and I was in a tumultuous relationship with a wimpy man. We’ve been on again, off again and he’s inconsolable whenever we are apart. We broke up over the way he washed the dishes and he’s been calling me non-stop to plead his case. He’s called my mom crying and she wants me to get back with him so she can get out of our drama. This man is 40 years old and very set in his ways.....................................See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m in my early thirties and I’m eager to meet a nice man and settle down one day. But in meantime and in-between time, I was keeping myself entertained in online chat rooms and online dating. I met a man that I paired perfectly with and his profile said he was 6’2” and athletic. His picture was nice but not really my type. We started chatting offline and would stay on the phone for hours....................See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I was released from state prison a few months ago. While in prison for 23 months, I thought my girlfriend had my back and we’d get married when I came home. Boy was I wrong and I came home to a situation that was worse than prison. I was released to my own home, with my girlfriend, who has been staying in my home while I was in prison. It was supposed to be a joyous homecoming, but instead, I walked into hell........................See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’ve been dating a very handsome and physically fit man for 2 years and we’ve reached a roadblock in our relationship. He’s never been married and he doesn’t have any children. When we met, he was glad I had children because he didn’t want any. He loves my children and treats them well so that made me love him more.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m 58 and on my second marriage to a man that I only knew 7 months before we got married. He swept me off my feet after I met him at church.

He said he was an expert on beautiful souls and mine was the brightest he’d seen in years....................................See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dear Steve and Shirley, my husband and I are both 28 years old and we have a 2 year old daughter. He’s white and I’m black. He is a semi-pro athlete and we live in a nice community of young couples.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m in a relationship with a man that is a contributor on our local news. He’s also an auctioneer at an auto auction. He makes all of his money by talking.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am married to a die-hard football fan and we met in college. We went to an HBCU and for years, we have tailgated with friends and family before the home games.

Dear Shirley and Steve I am a successful 34 year old married man and I love my wife, but I’m miserable at home. My wife and I met just before Covid and we’ve been married for a year.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a 46 year old married woman and I am having an affair with my pastor. He’s new to our city so I was chosen to show him around and help him get acclimated.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m a 31 year old single female and I just broke up with my boyfriend after 2 years of dating.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’ve been dating a musician for almost 2 years and he’s so different from anyone I’ve ever dated.
