Something Ain't Right with My Fiancé & His BFF
Dear Steve and Shirley, I reconnected with an old high school flame in January and we got engaged a couple of weeks ago. Well before he asked me to marry him he told me about his female best friend. He told me that he had sex with his best friend years ago but they didn't have any romantic feelings whatsoever for each other. Now of course I was very uncomfortable with their friendship but I didn't stress about it because I overheard him telling her how much he loves me and that I'm the one. This past weekend my fiance invited his best friend to lunch so I could meet her. Lunch was going great.............

My Man Or My Kids
Dear Steve and Shirley, my boyfriend and I have been living together for a year, but we’ve been together for 9 years. I have 3 kids that live with us and his mom lives with us too. My boyfriend works long hours to make sure that our finances are taken care of and I work full time too. We split the household chores and since my older kids are out of school for the summer, they have chores that we expect them to do daily. I can’t say that it really helps us out because they don’t always do their chores...........

She's Ready For Marriage, I'm Not
Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m dating a woman that is 36 years old and I’m 26 years old. The age difference doesn’t bother me much but she has a son that’s 15 and he had a problem with it at first. When we first met, everything was amazing and we couldn’t stand to be apart from one another. We were holding hands and kissing in public, constantly on Facetime with each other and we always went to church together. We have great chemistry in the bedroom and she does not look her age at all. So here is the problem… We’ve been together for two years and I moved in with her a few months ago..................

My Best Friend Is Either Sprung Or She's Slow
Dear Steve and Shirley, three years ago, my best friend and my older brother started dating. I was against it from the start and I told her that my brother is a sorry excuse for a man. He can not keep a job and he moves around a lot, depending on what girl is crazy enough to let him stay with her. He plays video games all day and he hangs out all night. As soon as he started dating my friend, he moved in with her and she pays all of the bills and his cell phone bill and he drives her car more than she does.........

This Woman Is Making Me Nervous
Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a 32 year old man and my wife and I have been married for 4 years. Our marriage got off to a rough start and we separated for a short period of time in the beginning. Right after we separated, I met a chick with the body of a goddess and ended up having an affair with her for two months. I got bored with just having great sex and no real connection with this chick, so I told her I was going back to work things out with my wife. She got very upset and told me that her ultimate plan was to take me from my wife................

My Ex-Girlfriend Is A Huge Problem
Dear Steve and Shirley, I have a big problem. Two years ago I relocated for work. Before I moved I had a special lady that I enjoyed spending time with. She was a big fine woman, thick in all of the right places. It's been a year since I had seen her and I was missing her good loving so I called her and told her I was sending her a bus ticket to come visit me. Yes, a bus ticket because a brother ain't rich. The weekend finally came and I was so excited to see her, but oh my goodness when this woman got off the bus I swear I barely recognized her. She had almost doubled in size in the past year............ Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

She's Doing Too Much On The Gram
Dear Steve and Shirley, I have an issue with my wife's image on social media. My wife has an Instagram account and I feel like the picture she posts are inappropriate for a married woman. I don't have an Instagram account. So for a long time I had no idea what she was posting on her page. One day I asked her to see her Instagram page and as I was as I started flipping through the pics I was so shocked by what I saw. My wife, the mother of our children had some very revealing pictures posted for the world to see. I am from the old school of thought where your wife is supposed to keep covered in public and only showed those types of things to her husband............

Let's Get It Started
Dear Steve and Shirley I am I am darn near 50 years old and my wife is 40. We've been married for almost ten years and have two children both under the age of five. I want to make sure you all have the details. First of all I love my wife, but here is the problem. If I want some cookie I have to initiate it Ninety five percent of the time. Some times she will but it is rare for me. I don't want to feel like I am forcing her to do something she doesn't want to do. However I think we're both young enough to have the time of our lives. I have often gone to bed frustrated with the lack of cookie in our life. I have gone to bed naked..........

Can A Menage A Trois Save My Marriage
Dear Steve and Shirley, I have known my husband for 20 years and we've been married for three years. He cheated on me multiple times with multiple women but I'm standing by my wedding vows. I always pray that the good Lord would see us through his infidelity and now we're rebuilding our marriage. Not many women would be as forgiving as I am. Having said all of that I still have plenty of good sense and I've reached my limit on foolishness. So, you can only imagine how I felt recently when my husband asked me for a threesome.

4 Years Later I'm Still His Girlfriend
Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm stuck. I've read your book Steve and I've been with my boyfriend for four years. In the four years we've bought a home and had lots of beautiful vacations together. We're under 30 years old and we have a solid relationship. He provides protects and professes his love for me. So why after four years I still don't have an engagement ring? I haven't given him my all yet because there are certain benefits that only a wife can give to her husband. He's not my husband. I never feel bad for reminding him when he complains about me holding back. When I drop hints about us moving to the next step in our relationship, he says that I'm going to have to be patient and pressuring him is not good...........

My Lover Calls Me Mom
Good morning Steve and Shirley, I am 50 year old divorced lady with a 28 year old lover. We’ve been together for two years but I met him when he was in college with my son. He came home a few weekends with my son and he started calling me mom back then. After college, he continued to hang out at the house with my son, so I got used to him being around. Well on Easter Sunday, 2017, things changed in an instant, when he rubbed up against me in the kitchen and I felt some kind of way. This young man is 6’2”, dark and handsome.........

Somebody Has A Secret Admirer
Dear Steve and Shirley, I really need your advice for this issue I’m having. I have fallen for someone that I have never met in person. I have heard him speak almost everyday and I'm not sure if he is single, but I would love to meet him in person. I am single and ready to mingle with him if he is available. This guy makes my toes curl when I hear his voice and the icing on the cake is that he is very funny and quite handsome. I have been single and abstinent for five years by choice. I have been focusing on my daughters and I’m writing a book about my family and it will be coming out soon...........

My Husband Is Such A Dummy
Dear Steve and Shirley, I have been married for 20 years and it’s been the longest 20 years ever. Neither of us have been perfect in the marriage, but I got myself together and I was hoping that my dumb ass husband did too. But it seems like there are far too many ways for him to do his dirty deeds now. About three months ago, he sent me a text that was intended for someone else. He wanted to meet up after work. I busted him and he lied and said that the text was for me and he was trying something new to keep our marriage interesting. I knew he was lying, so I started paying close attention to his daily call logs on the cell phone bill...........

Can You Turn A Ho Into A Husband
Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m a 33 year old woman and I had a one night stand with a 29 year old very sexy Brazilian guy. He gave me the best sex of my life and I never expected to hear from him again, but he called me a few days after we hooked up and now we’ve been dating for 9 months. Not long after we started dating, whenever we went out to our favorite club together, I would notice that a lot of older women approached him and they would often ask him to dance or send him a drink over to our table. This made me very uncomfortable at first, but he told me that he used to be a trainer and they were all members of the gym............

He's Handsome and So Is She
Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a 55 year old mother of 3 handsome boys. My youngest son is getting married, but I have an issue with his fiancé and I feel very guilty about it. I hate to be rude, but the girl he is marrying is just not that attractive at all. I know it’s none of my business because he’s the one that has to live with her, but my son is very handsome and I feel like he could do a lot better. His fiancé is a sweet girl and she seems to really love him, but she’s just not a pretty girl.............

Maybe I Should Hang Out With My Ex Too
Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m married and my wife and I have a five year old daughter. My wife’s relationship with her ex-boyfriend is not normal and I seem to be the only one that has a problem with it. Over the weekend, my wife took our child to a birthday party at her ex-boyfriend’s home. Her ex-boyfriend and his wife invited my wife and my daughter and they went. This bothered me because I have spoken with my wife a few times about her close relationship with her ex. She doesn’t see it as a problem, because the guy is married and has his own family..........

Your Child Is Too Darn Big
Dear Steve and Shirley, I need some advice. I am a 30 year old babysitter at my church’s daycare and I’m really concerned about one child at the daycare, because of his weight. The boy is only 4 years old and the average weight for his age is 35-40 lbs. I know this because I looked it up. It’s against the church daycare policy for me to weigh the children, but I’m almost sure this boy weighs at least 60 lbs. This is a big problem for me, so I monitor his food and drinks all day long. The daycare’s menu is carefully planned by a nutritionist and we offer very health conscious snacks...........

A Father Should Never Have To See That
Dear Mr. Harvey and Ms Strawberry, I am a 22 year old guy and my girlfriend is 21. She still lives at home and she’s a virgin, so we’ve been taking it slow in the sex department.

As I was dropping her off at home, she told me to pull over before I got to her house so she could give me a surprise for my birthday. I pulled over a block away from her house.........

My Man Loves Being In The Dog House
Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a 28 year old woman, dating a 34 year old man. We were together 9 months and waited almost 5 months before we started having sex. He was very kinky and liked to keep it interesting in the bedroom, but it ended up being way too much for me. You’ve answered a letter like this before, but mine is a different because my man is more extreme.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m a 48 year old female and I live in my childhood home with my 2 older sisters, older brother, my son, my son’s girlfriend and my daughter.

We have not had any issues with our living arrangement until recently when my bitter older sister who has no life, decided that it’s time for my daughter, my son and my son’s girlfriend to move out........

I'm Not Letting Him Go Without A Fight
Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm a 23 year old woman and one of my closest friends turned out to be a dirty skank that stole my man. Two years ago, my best friend came to visit me and we went out every night and kicked it. One of those nights, I introduced her to a guy that I have a crush on. I caught the two of them flirting with each other and I went off on her after we left the club. We got in a huge fight and haven’t spoken since. For years I've been flirting with this guy, but he never paid attention to me. I’m beautiful and fine as hell, so I don’t understand why he hasn’t pursued me.........

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m an elementary school teacher with a big problem. I graduated from college two years ago and it’s my first year teaching. At my school, there’s a very beautiful young black teacher that I have a crush on, but she’s married, so I would never say anything out of the way to her. When I first got to the school, an older white teacher in my cluster was very rude and would never speak to me, unless we were alone in the hallway or in the parking lot.

Now his current marriage is in shambles because he has left his wife and moved in with one of the older sisters of the church. He told his wife that he was leaving her but none of us in the church had any idea it would be Sister Joann that he moved in with.

I travel often for work but I have never cheated on her while I’m away. We got married very young but have managed to keep our marriage interesting. About six months ago, I joined an online dating app after a friend told me about it. I used it to look at the women’s profiles and text back and forth with a few of them.

There was plenty of food on the grill and we always let the elders of the church eat first. The first lady fixed the pastor a plate and sat it to the side and covered it with saran wrap.

We do the pre-game stuff and it’s wonderful. I hook him up and he hooks me up before we get started. But when it comes to getting it on, he is done way too soon.

My Freaky Old Man
Dear Steve and Shirley, I am dating a distinguished retired man and after our second date, he told me that I needed to have an open mind about sex because he lives an alternative lifestyle. He told me that he is in to bondage and domination. I told him we are not compatible because I’m not into kinky sex. After a few days, he called and told me that he liked me so much, he’d change just for me. So, we’ve been dating for two years and our relationship is great. He never once tried his freaky sex moves on me........... Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I Want To Call It Quits
Dear Steve and Shirley, My life could not be more complicated. I'm a 36 year old woman and I've been dating the same man for 21 years. Yes that's right. He's my boyfriend and we've been together off and on since middle school. He was my first love and my first sexual encounter. We have three teenage children and we've been through all of the ups and downs that married couples have but we've never been married. He has never wanted to get married. I wanted to marry him when we were in our 20s but changed my mind because he was not treating me like a queen and making me feel like I was the prettiest woman in the world.............

She was a big fine woman, thick in all of the right places. It's been a year since I had seen her and I was missing her good loving so I called her and told her I was sending her a bus ticket to come visit me. Yes, a bus ticket because a brother ain't rich.

We're Just Friends, But We Could Be So Much More
Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m in a bad situation and I need your advice. A few months ago, I was in a great relationship and my man and I were happy. I had a male neighbor that I only talked to on social media. My man found out about us sending each other messages and he accused me of messing around with the guy. He said it was inappropriate and I needed to stop, so I did, but my neighbor kept on liking my pictures and leaving comments every time I posted a picture on Instagram............

20 Years Later, He Still Wants MGP
Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a 46 year old single lady and I am ready for the next chapter in my life. In 1999 I dated a man off and on for a while, but finally ended things with him when I found out he got another woman pregnant. I moved on with my life and he moved to another state. Well, in 2018, he and I reconnected on social media. Since we live far apart, we texted and called each other daily. He told me he was coming to town and wanted to see me. I told him to come by the house, since we were old friends and hadn’t seen each other in many years............
