Strawberry Letter

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a 32 year old single mom of a 16 year old and I still live at home with my 84 year old father. I have never moved out because I never wanted my daughter to suffer through any hardships or go without having the things she wants and needs. My dad takes good care of us, so that helps me save money. Here’s the problem… I’ve been dating a man for 4 years and we have a great relationship, but he is pressuring me to move in with him, with my daughter........

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a 28 year old female and I have a 57 year old male mentor that I work with. He has given me great advice and helped me through some obstacles in my life. This is the first man that has ever treated me with respect and did not try to sleep with me. He is like a father figure to me and I call myself his play daughter. The only problem is his wife. He knew that I did not have any plans for Thanksgiving dinner, so he invited me to his home........

Dear Steve and Shirley, let’s get right to it. Here's my dilemma… I’m a 38 year old woman and I've never wanted to have children. Five years ago, I was in a great relationship and we were talking about getting married, but he wanted children and I did not. So we mutually decided to end our relationship. We could not deny that we were still in love with each other, so two years after we broke up, we reconnected and have been seeing each other off and on since then. While we’ve been spending time together, he started a relationship with a new woman and they had a child together and he couldn’t be happier........

I am 33-year-old woman that is madly in love with a 63-year-old man. We have been dating for over a year and we spend a lot of time together. I am head over heels in love with this guy and I want to spend the rest of my life with him. The only thing that is stopping us from being together is the fact that he is best friends with my child’s grandparents. I’m very close to them and we have a great family bond. I am an angel in their eyes and they would be heartbroken and I would be ashamed if they found out. That’s the one thing that is keeping us from being together, not even the fact that he is married. Yes, that’s right. He’s married and I’m okay with that, because she is basically just at the house as his roommate. I get treated like I’m the wife..........

Dear Steve and Shirley. I need your advice because I really want to kick my dad's wife’s behind. I am a 42 year old single mother of two kids. My children's dads don't help me financially so my father has helped me raise my kids for the past 15 years. Well, I recently lost my job and everything went downhill. I was unable to pay my rent so I had to move out of my apartment at the beginning of this month. I called my dad to ask if we could move back home and my dad had the nerve to tell me that I had to discuss it with his wife, my stepmother. He put her on the phone as she screamed, “Hell No!” and said this would be the ninth time that I've moved back in with them..........

Dear Steve and Shirley, I have been dating a guy for a year and he treats me really nice. We live in neighboring states but we're less than an hour apart so I wouldn't consider it a long distance relationship. We see each other a few times a week and either I'm at his house or he's at mine on the weekend. I assumed we were in an exclusive committed relationship until recently. The other day he was trying to show me a picture on his phone and he mistakenly pulled up a picture of another woman, he tried to quickly swipe passed the picture but he knew I had seen it........

Dear Steve Harvey and Shirley. Currently I am separated and over 40 can't have any children. Main reason for my divorce anyway. I met a man Mr. Man who was also separated and we became very close. It was great after a year. Mr. Man has his divorce. Once my divorce was final this summer I thought Mr. Man and I would be together. Well Mr. Man told me that he was going to New Jersey to get his ex girlfriend the woman he should have married instead of his wife. I had to ask what about me. He said I'm a beautiful woman but I had three problems. Number one I am too emotional........

Dear Steve and Shirley. I have a problem. I met a guy and I consider him a good friend and I want to get to know him better. He has taken me on a few dates and all went well at first. The problem arose after one of our recent dates after a really good date. We decided we'd pick up some food and go back to his house to chill and eat our food. Well when we got to his house with our food and he turned the lights on. Boom bam boom roaches went flying from east to west. They were so bad they were even crawling on his dog. But told him politely that I was not eating my food......... Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a successful 32 year old woman that got caught up with a 45 year old man. Before dating him, I’ve only had one serious relationship, but I am no fool, so I’m not sure how I let this man cloud my judgment. I had my suspicions that he was a cheater, but I could never get any real proof till recently. It was like the angles came down from Heaven one day and made him forget his phone at home. I heard the phone ringing and saw that it was a female calling, so I answered it. To my surprise, the woman said she was my boyfriend’s girlfriend......

Dear Shirley and Steve, I've been married to my wife for over ten years and we have five kids. Before we got married, my wife was in an abusive relationship and over time, our arguments would lead to her getting in my face and scratching me all up. In the first 2 years of our marriage, she gave me 2 black eyes. I would never put my hands on a woman and I can never leave her because her sex is so amazing and it has a hold on me........

Dear Steve and Shirley, this is probably the hardest decision I've ever had to make. I have two teenage children and their mother and I separated 10 years ago, but have maintained a solid co-parenting relationship. 5 years ago, I got remarried and my new wife seemed to accept my children and played a decent role as a stepmom. That didn’t last long and she eventually started treating them poorly. My teenagers became increasingly uncomfortable when they came over for the weekend........

We found a nice, much smaller house and my husband handled all of the financing and paperwork. After we closed on the house, I found out that my name was not on any of the paperwork........

Dear Steve and Shirley, I have just wasted 3 months of my life with a guy. When we met, he was my supervisor at work. Shortly after we met, I got a new job, so we decided to hook up and see if we could be more than friends. The first time we went out, we had sex in his car. After that night, he called and texted me daily and he wanted to see me as much as he could. I was really falling for him and he told me that I was not his type, but he just couldn’t help how he felt about me. I liked him so much, that when he asked me to change my appearance for him, I did it!

Dear Steve and Shirley, in March of this year, my husband and I separated and he moved out of the house. During our separation, I started talking to a guy I met at work.

I recently told the friend that my husband and I were trying to work things out in our marriage and he understood. We remained as friends with benefits until my husband moved back in with me.........

Hello Steve and Shirley… and I might need to include Tommy too. I am a happily married 40 year old woman with grown children. I’m completely in love with my husband and we have an incredible sex life, but I have one issue. When we first started dating years ago, my husband could not get enough of me sexually. As you can imagine, that cooled down after a few years, so I wanted to spice things back up. I asked him to take me to a strip club since I had never been to one. And he did. We got a table in the back of the club and I got tipsy and started putting on a better show than the strippers........

I’m sure now that we can't afford for me to go back and finish school and keep up with our rent and bills.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I have been with my man for 3 years and we started living together 7 months ago. I’m a nurse and he does construction work. I love his work ethic and his commitment to his job and the long hours he puts in. When he comes home from work, he washes his clothes, takes a shower, we eat and then we go to bed. But here’s the problem… throughout the night, while he is sleeping, he sweats really bad! His pillow is drenched and the mattress on his side is wet, too and I have to let the bed dry out daily and change our bed linens more often than I should. I can’t stand it, so I mentioned to him that he should see doctor........ Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

He will not have any kind of sexual relations with me and this has been going on since we started living together. He says he wants to wait until we are married but he has not even proposed. We're not at that point in our relationship yet. He told me that when God puts it in his heart, he will ask me to marry him. When we first started dating we had sex all of the time.

I am dating a compassionate and caring man and he’s such a gentleman. He is affectionate, but understood when I told him we should wait to be intimate. It was no problem.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm a beautiful 38 year old female with a 54 year old man. Everything in our relationship is perfect except our sex life. The big problem is that my man can go for hours and I'm not exaggerating. He doesn't take any male enhancement products but he's in great physical shape for his age. I have been knowing this guy for 13 years. We dated a while ago. Then he got married. After his divorce, we started dating again. We talk we laugh travel and he is great with my kids. The only problem is that he wears me completely out. It makes me feel insecure when we are intimate because I feel like I'm not handling my business like I should. He told me that he has always had a hard time finishing up and I'm not doing anything wrong. He says he almost gets there but then nothing happens. Don't get me wrong the first 20 minutes are great but after that it gets to be a bit too much. I encouraged him to go see a doctor. I need him to fix this issue as soon as possible.
