My Husband's Drinking Is No Longer A Secret

Dear Steve and Shirley, My husband and I have been married for 15 years and we have two children. My husband is a functioning alcoholic. He can work a full day without drinking but as soon as he's off the clock he starts drinking. He drinks in private. He doesn't leave his alcohol out where I can see it but I can always smell it in his cup. This started shortly after we got married and I allowed it and never confronted him. I can always tell when he's been drinking by the changes in his behavior and how he treats me and the kids. It's gotten worse recently and I brought it to his attention. I told him that I know exactly what he's up to.......... Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Happily Engaged And Ready To Walk

Dear Steve and Shirley, My fiance and I have been together for six years. He's 50 and I'm 35 and this will be the first marriage for both of us. When he proposed my intuition told me he was not ready to be married. A month ago, my fiance and I got into a big argument about his family and I didn't like his response or how he acted in front of our 3 year old daughter. So we haven't really been speaking. Two nights ago, he never came home from work and he did not answer my calls or text messages. I received a message from an acquaintance on social media saying that my fiance was at a bar downtown so I drove down to the bar hoping to see him there alone so we could try to resolve our issue. As soon as I walked in and saw him, my heart sank......... Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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?

My Best Friend Cannot Be Ok

Dear Steve and Shirley I've lost my best friend. We've been best friends for over 15 years. Thee best of friends. We were thick as thieves and nothing could keep us apart.

How Important Is Intimacy Before Marriage

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a young single female. I recently had a conversation with a close male friend about relationships and sex. He told me that from a man's point of view a man can never fully love a woman and give his all to a relationship until they have sex. This blew my mind because my girlfriends and I are withholding sex now and we really think that we're doing the right thing by making men wait. I look back at how many men I have turned away knowing that they just wanted to have sex with me. If what my male friend says is true then I may have missed out on a few good men.......

Why Is My Son In Law Watching Me

Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm writing you for advice on a family matter. When my daughter had her first child, she and her husband asked me to move in with them to help out with the baby. I was thrilled to be there to help with my grandchild. After living with them for about five months my daughter came to me and said that her husband had been watching me move around the house. I thought she meant that he was watching me to see how I handled the baby. I didn't think anything about it. Once again my daughter came to me and said that her husband was watching me and that she felt some type of way about it. Now she had my full attention. This was no joking matter.......

Now two kids in three years of marriage later I hardly recognize her. She has gained far too much weight. I told her I would work out with her and I went and bought exercise mats and dumbbells so we could get started.

How Well Do You Know Your Neighbors

Dear Steve and Shirley, I've been married to a wonderful man for almost 30 years. He's an excellent father and provider. But over the years I've spent a lot of time alone in my marriage. At one point I was very lonely. There was a lot of love and kindness but no passion. A neighbor and I would talk occasionally and he picked up on my extreme loneliness and saw that I was vulnerable. He used it to his advantage and we ended up having sex. I'm not placing all of the blame on my neighbor because I am a grown woman and I knew better. Loneliness was no excuse to step out on my marriage........ Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.......

Now that we are married and living together, I get to see all of her bad habits and nasty ways. When we were dating I knew that she smoked cigarettes and drank alcohol. After we got married, I realized that she has to have a drink every day and her smoking is really really bad. She constantly sprays the house to mask the cigarette smell but her breath always smells like an ashtray. Then her drinking is so bad some nights that she keeps me up all night with her drunken antics. When she wants to be intimate with me, it's a turn off.......

He Had Me Fooled

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. I didn't make a fuss about the picture. I asked him to delete it and he did, but seeing the woman’s picture on his phone made me wonder about the nature of our relationship.......

I Gave My Husband a Hall Pass

Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm a 22 year old married woman. My husband and I have been together for over five years but we've only been married six months. I am the first woman that my husband has ever had sex with and we waited until we got married to have sex. Shortly after we got married he told me that he wondered what it would be like to have sex with another woman because we are both still young. I felt like I should allow him to have that experience. I love how open and honest he is with me because he didn't have to share this with me. He could have just cheated on me instead........

My Husband Is A Wimp

Dear Steve and Shirley, I've been married for five years but my husband is missing a P. He provides for the family and he professes his love for me but he does not protect me like he should. Last month a neighbor yelled at our son for going into his yard to get a ball. My husband and I went outside to see what was going on. I politely asked the neighbor not to yell at our child and he began to yell and curse at me. I told my child to go inside so we could deal with the situation. My conversation with this man got heated and he was using every curse word that he could think of.......

The First Lady Special Offering

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a happily married man and I need your advice. Last summer I loaned a female friend three hundred and twenty dollars for an insurance class so she could start her own business. She was engaged to be married at the time to a preacher. After I loaned her the money we barely kept in touch. She got married and I was busy with my family and traveling for work. Recently I decided to check in on my friend and see how she was doing in her new career as an insurance agent......

She's Making Me Want To Fight Her

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a wife and a mother of two children. I've been married for 11 years to my wonderful husband, but I recently found out he had been cheating on me for a year. I found out when the woman started calling me she told me that she was taking good care of him when he is away from home with her. I confronted him about it and of course he denied it. I pray to the Lord to show me the truth. As time went on I never told him that I was still receiving calls from the woman. She even sent me pictures of my husband naked.......

I Need Way More Than He Is Giving Me

Dear Steve and Shirley, My husband and I are in our early 30s and he is the most amazing man I've ever been with. He is my best friend and we have the best relationship. There's just one big problem. Our sex drives don't match up. I'm not sure if my sex drive is too high or his is too low. Since we got married, the quality of our sex life has changed. It is now very inconsistent and most of the time I find myself finishing up the job on my own. I'm not getting enough and when I do get it, its just okay.......
