Dear Steve and Shirley, I got in a bad fist fight with my best buddy because of a woman that he is secretly in love with. I had a house party recently and we all had a lot to drink, so I offered to let a few people stay over. All night, my boy was trying to talk to the finest girl that was there and she was not really receptive to him. He told me that she asked about me, but she’s not my type so I didn’t pay it any mind. She ended up staying at my house because she lives in the suburbs and had been drinking...............See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a married woman with five children and I had a very interesting Halloween night. We were invited to a costume party at a friend’s house so I dressed up in a red devil costume. My husband dressed up as Zoro. We took four shots before we left home and I was so frazzled, I forgot my glasses. I knew my husband was freaky before we got married and he has asked me for threesomes a lot lately..................See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m 28 years old and I’ve been married for 3 years. I caught my husband cheating on me recently and I burned a few of his personal belongings and he can’t get over it. He was cheating in his car at a popular hookup spot where the younger kids go have sex. He and I used to go there when we were younger and we enjoyed sneaking around and having sex. I never imagined he would cheat on me and then cheat in a spot that he could get caught........................................See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm a 34 year old woman and I'm married. I found the man of my dreams and he’s treated me like a queen since the beginning of our courtship. We’ve been married almost a year and until recently, my life and marriage were great. He’s in his late 40s and he’s having issues with high blood pressure so his doctor put him on a high dose of medication. Because of all of the medicine, our sex life sucks.......................

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m 32 years old and I’ve been dating this guy for almost 8 months and we’ve had fun getting to know each other. He was honest in the beginning and told me he had some loose ends to tie up before we got serious and I appreciated that honesty. The fact that he didn’t hide his phone or turn his ringer off made me feel that he was ready to be in a relationship with me so I didn’t trip. We went out all over town and I stayed at his home all of the time...........................See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dear Steve and Shirley, my boyfriend has to have the spotlight on him at all times. It seems like every week he tells me that he went off on a co-worker because they don’t respect his authority. I always have to remind him that he’s not anyone’s supervisor at the job, he’s just been there longer than anyone else. He’s got a big ego and a big mouth. He laughs loud and he brags all of the time. I’m talking about bragging like he can knock it out the park every night, when he’s really not even tapping first base....................................See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m dating a 47 year old player. We’ve been together for almost two years and I told him marriage was the goal for me when we started dating and he said he wanted to be married too. I was at his house over the weekend and we were listening to music thru his phone and his phone rang. He usually won’t have his phone connected to Bluetooth because we’ve had a mishap before when one of his co-workers called and his Bluetooth announced her....................................See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dear Steve and Shirley, My husband drives me nuts in the bed, but not in a good way. He's 72 and I'm 68 years old. We have been married for 22 years and it's both of our second marriage. He has asthma, so I give him a breathing treatment most nights, but that doesn't help his wheezing all night. We have to keep the air down in our bedroom because if he gets hot, it gets worse. I said all of that to say that we can't have sex without him getting hot and then the wheezing starts.......................................... See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m married to a man that is 3 years my senior and he is causing me so much anxiety. His first wife is a big girl and the woman he dated after his divorce was thick too. When we met, he called me nicknames like “lil bit” and “tiny tot” so I asked him if he had a problem with my size. I am 5’3 and I have a tiny frame, but everything is proportionate. He has been making me feel like I’m not thick enough........................................See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
