Strawberry Letter

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am in desperate need of advice. I was engaged to be married, but my fiancé and I recently split up after my ex-wife caused a whole lot of problems in our relationship. When my ex heard I was engaged, she called me. I told her that I was extremely happy and excited to get remarried. My ex said that she was happy for me and wished me well, which was a big lie. A few days after we talked, my ex created a new Facebook page, named it “The Thompsons” and posted a bunch of old pics from our wedding and family vacations..........

Dear Steve and Shirley,I’m a 37 year old married woman and I found out that my husband was sleeping with my girlfriend, when Shirley read my girlfriend’s Strawberry Letter on the radio. I’ve been married to a man for seven years and I had a girlfriend on the side for most of our marriage. My husband and I had some financial issues so my female friend, who was actually my lover, moved in with us to help out with the bills. My husband had no idea we were lovers. I hope you can remember that letter.......... Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m a single 38 year old female and I like dating older gentlemen. I’m open to online dating and I have met some nice men on Facebook, so I often look at men’s profiles and meet them that way. A handsome man in another city caught my eye and I sent him a message. We chatted back and forth and found out that we have a lot in common, even though he is12 years older than me. When we first started video chatting, I thought that he looked familiar, and we’re from the same city, so I just figured our paths crossed somehow in the past.......

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a 32 year old single female and my family moved to the states when I was 15 so we could have a better life. In my culture, I grew up with a huge extended family and we stick close together, but now I have my own apartment and I love having my freedom. My mother often tells me that I should’ve been married years ago so she can have grandbabies, but I’m not ready for that. My parents both have good jobs and finally got the big house they were dreaming of and they have moved more family members to the U.S. to live with them.........

Dear Steve and Shirley, I have been married to my husband for 13 years, but we have been together for a total of 23 years. We have one son and my husband is a great provider for our family. I am, however, concerned about the example of manhood that he’s displaying for our son. My husband is non-confrontational, so we haven’t argued in years. If we have a disagreement, he will just agree with me, to avoid conflict. He’s always eager to help others and he does favors for his family members all the time, even if he is not feeling up to it. He rarely gets frustrated or raises his voice............. Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I need some advice, although this may not be your area of expertise. I'm a 27 years and I met my partner on a nationwide Facebook group. Because of the online group, my partner and I have mutual friends across the country. One friend, in particular, is trying my patience by blatantly hitting on my partner in direct messages and leaving racy comments on my partner’s posts. Sometimes my partner’s comments can look a bit flirtatious too. I’m concerned that this friend is going to try to make a move and my partner is very naïve, so this is a big problem...............

Dear Steve and Shirley, I need some advice on a different kind of double standard with men and women. My ex-boyfriend has a lot of flaws and I overlooked them in the beginning because I was really in to him and wanted things to work out. For example, when we met, he told me he lived downtown in a brownstone. So a few weeks later, I went over to his place. I pulled up and he escorted me in through the basement door and told me he hangs out down there most of the time. So we started kissing and making out on the couch and he had managed to take off all of my clothes and most of his, when someone knocked on the door. He threw a blanket over me and went to answer the door. It was a woman at the door............

Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm 46 years old and last year I married a man that's 18 years younger than I am. We met at the gym and the initial sexual attraction between us was magnetic, but I had my doubts about him, because of our age difference. It wasn’t long before we started having hot, passionate, sex and fell deep in love. He went above and beyond to let me know that this was more than just sex, it was real.

Dear Steve and Shirley, here’s my ordeal. My husband and I have been married for 8 years and we have 3 beautiful children. One of my husband’s long-time ex-girlfriends died over the weekend and we were all shocked, because it was so sudden. My husband’s best friend is the deceased woman’s cousin, so he called to tell us the bad news. He said that the family was working out the funeral arrangements and had decided that they wanted my husband to be a pall bearer at her funeral, because the ex-girlfriend still loved him, up until the day she died.

He created a fake social media account and pretended to be one of my exes that I dated before we got married. He started sending me sweet messages, posing as my ex, but I was very stern about letting him know that I’m happily married and not interested in him at all, in that way.............

I had been watching them for a while and then in a stewardship meeting, my pastor mistakenly called my cousin “babe or bae” and she blushed.

I started out with a text to break the ice… she told me that she was 31 years old and I felt funny about telling her my age right off, because I wanted to see if we were compatible.............

Dear Steve and Shirley, my husband and I have been married for a year now, and since then, we have both gained a considerable amount of weight.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I want your honest opinions. I'm young and I have a great job, my own place and I'm happily single for now. Here's my issue. I don't think a strong independent woman should stand by a broke man or wait for him to reach his full potential. People always say I should not overlook a man that falls short financially but I prefer to remain strong because I am not afraid of being alone. So many women go through the emotional struggles of being with a man just to say they have a man. So is it selfish for me to live my own life and continue to pray for the man that God will send to me?

Dear Steve and Shirley, You're not going to believe this. I'm a married man and my wife and I just purchased our first home in a new community. To celebrate home ownership, my boys took me out for drinks. We ended up going to a strip club and I got very drunk which are two things I had not done since I got married. The strippers were some of the sexiest women I had ever seen and we paid for our own private VIP area in the club. So we each had a dancer that catered to us all night. My dancer did all kinds of freaky stuff to me. We did everything except go all the way. Right afterwards when I sobered up, I was disappointed with myself and I swore to my boys that I would never go to another strip club..........
