Strawberry Letter

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a very happily married woman in my early 50s and I have an issue with my husband’s long-time friend and fraternity brother. My husband’s friend lives in another state for work, but he loves to come visit all his buddies in the city that my husband and I live in. When he comes to town, he would take turns staying at different friends’ houses. His first visit to our new home was earlier this year and he stayed the entire weekend and that was okay, as a one-time deal..........

Dear Steve and Shirley. I'm a 29 year old married woman. My husband and I have been married for almost three years. We met at work and we fell for each other rather quickly. We also began to have sex early on in our relationship. At first the sex was ok. It was what I needed then, but as time went on our encounters started to be a problem because he could not last long at all. He was getting all of the pleasure and I wasn't getting any. Well, we eventually got married.......... Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I have been married over 20 years and thought everything was going well in my marriage. My husband and I are in our late 50s and our children are finally grown so we have more time to focus on each other. We are getting along well and our sex life is the best it has been in years. The other day I checked my husband's email to follow up on jobs he is applying for. He knows I have access to his email. A couple of weeks ago he went to get a complete physical and I noticed an email from his doctor, with lab results...........

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a 34 year old male who is currently dating a female that lives 200 miles from me. We make an effort to meet 3 times a month, mostly on weekends. I do love her, but I have a big problem that will interfere with the progression of our relationship. You see, I deal with multiple girls on the side during the weekdays. The girls come to my place and we keep it strictly sexual and nothing more. The girls are not the problem, they all know that I have a girlfriend and they are okay with it.............

Dear Steve and Shirley, recently, I've noticed that there are lots of women that think they got it going on and don’t mind bragging on how fine they are. There is nothing that turns me off more than a woman that thinks she is God’s gift to the world. You know who I am talking about, the ones that walk around like their ish doesn’t stink. I was married to a gorgeous sister and the best thing about her was the fact that she wasn't stuck on herself and she always had a great attitude. Women don’t realize that looks will fade and in the long run, it’s a great personality and brains that will matter most.............

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a 27 year old college graduate and I recently moved back in with my mother to save some money and get my own place. My parents were high school sweethearts but they never got married. For over 30 years, they’ve been hooking up whenever they were single. They go on dates, vacations and they attend family gatherings, but they refuse to get married. I’ve asked my dad why he won’t marry my mom and he said, “Son, a house is much better than an apartment,” whatever that means! My dad comes over to my mom’s house all the time and watching the two of them is like watching soft core porn...............

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............

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..........

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...........

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................

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...........

Dear Steve and Shirley as Nephew Tommy would say buckle up and hold on tight. There is no easy way to explain my situation. I am a 28 year old married woman. I married my high school sweetheart and we have six kids, but I'm not sure who my kid's father is. Here's why. Ten years ago I lost my parents in a bad accident and living without them was unbearable for me. I started drinking partying and having sex all of the time with different men. I was a mess. My boyfriend had no idea about my secret sex life. One night when I was drunk I went to my boyfriends house looking for him and ended up having sex with his father.............

Dear Steve and Shirley, my best friend and were really close for 10 years. We were more like sisters and we told each other all of our secrets. Last year, she played cupid between me and one of her male friends. The guy and I have been together since then and we are very happy. I never let my new relationship affect my friendship with her. Everything was great between my best friend and I until a few months ago. She randomly stopped answering my calls and her excuse was that she was going through some things. I explained to her that I was there for her if she needed to talk...............

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a 40 year old mother of an eighteen year old son and I need your opinion. We have a computer in our den and recently, I came home from work early and my son was acting weird. He had grabbed a pillow from the couch and he was clutching it, trying to hide himself. It was a very awkward moment. I knew what was going on, but I asked if he was okay. He said he was fine and he was going to head out to work a little early. When he left, I noticed that the computer was on and the speakers were knocked over.......

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a 58 year young woman and I have been involved with this man since 2007 and he is a lying cheating thot! We are not together right now but I can’t get rid of him. When we were together, he cheated on me over and over and the worst part was when he got addicted to smoking weed. We stayed together and tried to work it out because I loved him. I’m dating again and I am happy, finally. He is dating a 27 year old girl and he is doing her the same way he did me.........

Dear Steve and Shirley I am a 32 year old newly divorced mom of a one year old. I haven’t dated in a long time, so I decided to join an online Christian dating site instead of suffering through blind dates and meeting losers whenever I’m out with my girlfriends. I have been on the Christian dating site a few months and I met a nice 39 year old man. We’ve been chatting and talking for the last month. We have exchanged several pictures since we met and he has yet to compliment me on my looks. I am not sure if there is a physical attraction for him because he hasn’t said anything................

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a 27 year old single mother of two beautiful girls and I’m in the US Army. I’ve been casually dating a gentleman for 2 years now. We are not exclusive, but he’s met my kids and my family and our bond is incredible. I have never been in love like this and I want more than he’s willing to offer.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm a 40 year old man and my wife is 36. After my wife had our two sons, she gained a lot of weight. I love her so much and I’ve tried to encourage her to lose weight by working out and eating right, but she won’t stick to a diet and exercise plan. I was honest with her and let her know that I was not sexually attracted to her anymore. She promised to work harder to lose the weight. Our youngest son is six years old now and she has not lost any of the weight she gained during the pregnancy..............

Dear Steve and Shirley, my lady and I have been dating for three years. We met at work… She’s a nurse and I am an administrator. We love working together because we get to eat lunch together several days a week. Back in June, we were headed to lunch and I was dying to try this new BBQ food truck that was parked in the courtyard of the hospital. You could smell that good hickory wood smoke smell from a mile away. My girl was reluctant to eat there but I begged her so we went to order our food...........
