My Status Has Been Downgraded

Dear Steve and Shirley, for the past 8 years, I’ve been dating a 60 year old man and I am 14 years younger than he is. Everything in our relationship was good until 6 months ago, when he moved his 2nd ex-wife and their 20 year old child back into his home. He has been divorced 12 years, but he told me that his ex-wife is having financial problems, so he allowed her to move in. This changed our relationship a lot. We don’t spend time together daily like we use to and he only comes to my house twice a month.............

He Chose His Wife Over Me

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.........

I'm Raising My Children The Old School Way

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a married father of two girls and I have a problem at home. Last week, I popped my sixteen year old daughter in the mouth after she raised her voice at her little sister and then raised her voice at me when I told her to stop. When I hit her, she lunged at me and punched me in my face. I tried to hold her to keep her from hitting me again and we ended up scuffling in the floor like two dudes in a street fight. The whole time she was still yelling and I was trying to control my anger so I wouldn’t hurt this child.............

I’m In Love With Hairy Mary

Dear Steve and Shirley,I need some serious advice right now. I’m a 30-year-old and I’m dating a 29-year-old woman. She is a very sexy, sweet woman with a great figure, but she has one flaw that is hard to overlook. She has hairy feet, a hairy chest, and her back is hairy.

I Think I'm Playing With Fire

Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm an older single man and I’m very nice looking, not your typical old cornball pops type. Dating is hard for me because most women my age have let themselves go and look matronly. I love online dating sites and I have a great time meeting and hooking up with various women. Recently, a 30-year old bombshell sent me a message to say that she was looking for a little financial help, in exchange for some confidential fun. So we have met up for “lip service” a few times and that’s it..............

I Am Not The One To Play With

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a 54 year old black professional man who has been married for 25 years. I am 6’6” and 270 lbs and I am not to be played with. But my wife seems to think she could play with me and get away with it. We’re in the middle of a divorce now because I found out that she was taking and sending nude pictures to an ex-boyfriend. I also found out that she’d been having an affair with the guy for almost a year. When I confronted her, she told me that she’s been unhappy for a long time and she needs more................

I'm In Too Deep With This Guy

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’ve been seeing a guy for 8 months now and our relationship is strictly sexual. When we first met, he told me that he has a girlfriend that lives in another state and he had no plans to break up with her, but she can’t fulfill his needs when she’s so far away. We first met at a club and I would run into him at local parties, so we were bound to hook up sooner or later. We have sex often and it’s really good sex.

My Mother Is Ruining My Future

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a black young lady in my mid 20s and I have been in debt since I graduated from college in 2016. I assumed I would be stepping out into the real world and paying a few bills, but not as many as I have now. While I was in college, my mom opened multiple credit cards in my name and proceeded to max them all out on her bills and personal items. Fast forward to today, my credit card debt is well over $8,500 and I am trying to pay the minimum payments on the bills so I can maintain a good credit score.............

I have a situation that I need help with, and it doesn’t involve my husband. A year ago, a guy at the gym came on to me. It was fun at first because it was all hugs and kisses, but then it escalated to sex. We were intimate on several occasions and each time, I was so ashamed.

How Often Should You Get A Massage

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m a 30-year old man and I love working out.

We went clubbing and since I love to dance, I was salsa dancing with the ladies and may have been a little too close to one particular lady that danced very sensually.

Me and My Man Have A Little Situation

Dear Steve and Shirley I met a gentleman seven months ago. I'm 45 and he's 37 when we met he lived 3 hours away so he decided to move to my area. It's been four months now since we've been in the same city and I'm starting to see issues with him. He didn't have a plan in place when he moved to my city and now he's living in a shelter because I told him he cannot live with me. He doesn't have a car and I refuse to drive him around. He does have a job. In fact he's had three different jobs since he's been here............

I Can't Wait For School To Start

Dear Steve and Shirley, I recently found out that my 17 year old son had sex for the first time. He's entering his senior year in high school and his girlfriend graduated last year. I overheard my son telling his friend about the whole thing and I was devastated. But there is another level to this story. I read my son’s texts and found out that his girlfriend’s mother knew about them having sex and allowed them to have sex in her home. I asked my son about it and apparently, the girlfriend’s mom was part of the plan all along and “counseled” them beforehand..........

I Can't Believe How Naive I Am

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’ve been married for the past 5 years to a very controlling man. He worked offshore so he was gone from the home a lot and I was not allowed to work, so I was left home with nothing to do. I started getting more involved in the church and one evening after a stewardship meeting, I met a handsome man in the parking lot of the church. He was in town visiting his mother and had brought her to the meeting. One thing lead to another and we exchanged phone numbers and secretly talked whenever we could...........

His Goal Is To Please Me

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a single 46 year old, 6 foot tall black woman. I became single about 4 years ago and until recently, I’ve been enjoying dating and meeting new guys. I don’t look my age and I attract a lot of men that are in their twenties. With heels on, I’m taller than a lot of the guys I date, but they don’t seem to mind. I dated a few of the younger guys but mostly men my age, and I even gave it up to a few of them. That’s when the problems start. After a few rolls in the hay, they roll away. When I ask them what happened to run them away, they all have the same answer................

My Fiancé Is Looking Like A Bum

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am 29 year old newly engaged mother of 2. My fiancé is smart, loving, caring and crazy, just how I like it. The problem is he doesn't care for himself at all. He has a great job but he doesn’t have to dress up for work, so he puts little to no effort in his daily appearance. I am not sure how I overlooked this when we were dating, but now it’s getting on my nerves. He walks around with holes in his socks and raggedy underwear. I buy him new boxers and socks and tees, but he likes to wear the old stuff...........
