Strawberry Letter

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.......

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........

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.......

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.
