Strawberry Letter

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am happily married and my wife and I have two kids. The problem is I have a female friend from college. My female friend is also married with two kids and she lives in another state. We hardly ever see each other, but we do keep in touch. Over 15 years ago, she and I had sex. My wife knows we were intimate in the past because we all went to the same college. The other day I was talking to my friend on the phone, we chatted about reality TV shows, I congratulated her on her anniversary and we talked about our children.............

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’ve been dating a man for 15 months and we are in a monogamous relationship. He’s 57 years old and I’m 49 years old and we’re both divorced. We get along well, but I need your advice. This past weekend, I stayed over at his house on Friday night, all day Saturday and Saturday night. On Sunday morning, we woke up and cooked breakfast and then we lounged around and watched football. He got up and changed his clothes and told me he was headed to the gym. I thought it would be the perfect time to take a nap before I cooked dinner.............

Dear Steve and Shirley, I have been married for 13 years and 6 years ago my husband cheated on me and had a child by the lady he had an affair with. I had a hard time getting past this, but I did. We went to counseling and now I have a sweet stepdaughter to spoil. That happiness lasted a short period of time, because three years later, my husband cheated again................

Hello Steve and Shirley, I need your advice on an issue between my husband and I. We have been married for a year and he’s a wonderful husband, but we are not seeing eye to eye on how he reacts to well-endowed women. When we were dating, he always had a thing for admiring women in my presence. He didn’t care if they had two heads, but if they had big boobies or a big ole butt, his head was on the swivel and he would just stare. Lucky for him, I’m not insecure and I never made a big deal of it.............

Dear Steve and Shirley, my mother and I are very close and live together. We recently relocated to a new city a few months ago because of my new job. My mother is retired and loves to go play bingo and she goes to the casino weekly. She also likes to date and entertain men that are too young for her. My mother is in her late 60s and I’m in my late 40s. The guy is 36 years old and they spend a great deal of time together. He’s a cook at the bingo hall that she goes to and she says they hit it off instantly...............

Dear Steve and Shirley, I really need your help and advice with an embarrassing problem. I’m a 28 year old, healthy black male and I am single. Since I was 14 years old, I have been having frequent erections. I have been to several urologists and a specialist and each doctor told me that I’m completely normal. I have talked to my male friends and older men and they all say that it does not sound normal but it also does not sound like a big problem...................

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. He never talked much about his wife, but I figured she would be just as sweet as he was..............

Dear Steve and Shirley, I have a problem and I've been praying over it for years but I can’t seem to get over it. I married a man when I was 26 years old and he was 41 years old. We had a great married life, a nice big home and three lovely children. I thought our fairytale would never end, but it did. We were married for 8 years and on his birthday, he asked me for a divorce and served me papers. I was shocked that he already had the papers drawn up. Six months after our divorce was final, my sister gave birth to a beautiful baby girl................

Hello Shirley and Steve, I am a 20 year old black woman who comes from a very loving and caring family that carries themselves in a very classy and respectful way. I’ve been taught since I was a little girl that men will treat you the way you allow them to treat you. I am coming to you all because I need help. I can’t find a man that wants to be in serious relationship with me and I know about 90 percent of the blame can be put on me................

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m a 30 year old beautiful and successful woman and I’m in love with a 44 year old, well-educated hunk that swept me off of my feet. When I met him, he told me that he was seeing someone in a long-distance relationship, but I still started dating this man, despite the news. After six months of dating, I did some research and found out that he proposed to this woman and she has set a wedding date. I never confronted him about it but it tore me apart emotionally.............

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a 28 year old wife and mother. My husband is 32. We’ve been together 10 years and got married 2 years ago. I don’t have any major complaints about my marriage, but my husband’s behavior is kind of strange lately. My husband and I met in college and we did what college couples do, we had sex every day or as much as we could. Now that I’m older and we have more responsibilities, I’m too tired to have sex everyday or as often as I’d like to...............

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m a loving and respectable married man that likes to flirt. My wife knows I’m a flirt and she just tolerates it because she knows nobody else wants me. I flirt occasionally at work and it gets me a couple of laughs and eyebrows raised and the ladies flirt back. I have a real-life work wife that I work closely with and my wife has met her so it’s no big deal. What my wife did not know is that my work wife really likes me, but she respects the fact that I’m married. We have younger interns that work with us seasonally............

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m just going to jump right in and get to it. I’m married and he’s married. We both have families. I have 3 kids and he has 4 kids. One of my kids is his. Our affair had been going on for 11 years and now we have a 2 year old son. He left me when I told him that I was pregnant. We both agreed for me to terminate the pregnancy, but he refused to give me the money, so I changed my mind because deep down I wanted another child. I know it’s his son but he questioned it............. Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a 30 year old married woman and my husband and I need your advice on an issue with our closest friends. Our friends are first time parents and their daughter is a toddler now. Since the child was born, we’ve been in a group text with the couple and 15 other people.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’ve been in a long-distance relationship with a great guy for the past six years. We live an hour apart so it’s not far at all and we see each other regularly. When we spend time together, it’s wonderful and we have a lot of sex to make up for the times we’re apart. Although we have a lot of sex, it is never the romantic experience that I crave, because I’ve never seen my man naked from the waist down. I have never touched any part of his body, from the waist down. He will let me rub on his chest and that’s it...........

Dear Steve and Shirley,I’m in my late 50s and I’m still a bachelor. I don’t have a problem meeting beautiful women and I don’t have a problem getting the cookie. I own a carpet business so I’m the person that goes to the customer’s home to do the initial meeting and get measurements. Three months ago, I went to a customer’s house and she was gorgeous....

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a 35 year old woman dating a 41 year old man. We’ve been dating for about 5 months and we had sex a few times before we actually decided to be in a relationship. The sex was always normal, nothing out of the ordinary and after the encounter, we wouldn’t talk for a while. Now we live together and I have come to realize that this man is a straight up nympho. It doesn't matter what I'm doing, every time we're in the bedroom at the same time, he is ready to get it on. He will drop everything he's doing just to get a little something...............

Dear Steve and Shirley, I have two children with my high school sweetheart. We both come from seriously dysfunctional families and we were all each other had. Shortly after we graduated, I got incarcerated for 18 months on a drug possession charge. During this time, my kid's mother met an older guy and he began to take care of her and my kids. He bought her a new car and moved her and the kids into an upscale apartment. I’m not a fool, so I know there was give and take in this situation, but I was locked up, so what could I say? I’ve been out of jail for about 9 months and he has continued to cover all of my family’s expenses..................

Dear Steve and Shirley, I have been married for 7 years and we have two young children. After having my second child, my desire to have sex decreased and it was a big problem in my marriage. My husband is a great dad and my best friend so I felt bad for him. I started back having sex with him, but I was never really into it like I had been in the past. I confided in my sister because she has a newborn too. Her child’s father broke up with her while she was pregnant, so she’s going through her own issues. I wanted to support my sister, so I told her to go out with her girls and I would babysit for her...............
