Strawberry Letter

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a 55 year old mother of 3 handsome boys. My youngest son is getting married, but I have an issue with his fiancé and I feel very guilty about it. I hate to be rude, but the girl he is marrying is just not that attractive at all. I know it’s none of my business because he’s the one that has to live with her, but my son is very handsome and I feel like he could do a lot better. His fiancé is a sweet girl and she seems to really love him, but she’s just not a pretty girl.............

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m married and my wife and I have a five year old daughter. My wife’s relationship with her ex-boyfriend is not normal and I seem to be the only one that has a problem with it. Over the weekend, my wife took our child to a birthday party at her ex-boyfriend’s home. Her ex-boyfriend and his wife invited my wife and my daughter and they went. This bothered me because I have spoken with my wife a few times about her close relationship with her ex. She doesn’t see it as a problem, because the guy is married and has his own family..........

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a 28 year old white woman and I am dating a man who is half black, half Latino. He is 32 years old, a great provider, has served in the military and he is amazing in the bedroom.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I need some advice. I am a 30 year old babysitter at my church’s daycare and I’m really concerned about one child at the daycare, because of his weight. The boy is only 4 years old and the average weight for his age is 35-40 lbs. I know this because I looked it up. It’s against the church daycare policy for me to weigh the children, but I’m almost sure this boy weighs at least 60 lbs. This is a big problem for me, so I monitor his food and drinks all day long. The daycare’s menu is carefully planned by a nutritionist and we offer very health conscious snacks...........

Dear Mr. Harvey and Ms Strawberry, I am a 22 year old guy and my girlfriend is 21. She still lives at home and she’s a virgin, so we’ve been taking it slow in the sex department. I am falling in love with this girl and I think she loves me. My birthday was two weeks ago and she treated me to dinner. As I was dropping her off at home, she told me to pull over before I got to her house so she could give me a surprise for my birthday. I pulled over a block away from her house.........

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a 28 year old woman, dating a 34 year old man. We were together 9 months and waited almost 5 months before we started having sex. He was very kinky and liked to keep it interesting in the bedroom, but it ended up being way too much for me. You’ve answered a letter like this before, but mine is a different because my man is more extreme. My issues   started one night about three months ago, when out of nowhere during sex, he started barking like a dog and licking me all over my face.........

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m a 48 year old female and I live in my childhood home with my 2 older sisters, older brother, my son, my son’s girlfriend and my daughter. My parents moved to Texas and left us all in the house. It’s a 6 bedroom house with 3 bathrooms so there’s plenty of space for everyone. The house is paid for and we all split the bills. We have not had any issues with our living arrangement until recently when my bitter older sister who has no life, decided that it’s time for my daughter, my son and my son’s girlfriend to move out........

Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm a 23 year old woman and one of my closest friends turned out to be a dirty skank that stole my man. Two years ago, my best friend came to visit me and we went out every night and kicked it. One of those nights, I introduced her to a guy that I have a crush on. I caught the two of them flirting with each other and I went off on her after we left the club. We got in a huge fight and haven’t spoken since. For years I've been flirting with this guy, but he never paid attention to me. I’m beautiful and fine as hell, so I don’t understand why he hasn’t pursued me.........

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m an elementary school teacher with a big problem. I graduated from college two years ago and it’s my first year teaching. At my school, there’s a very beautiful young black teacher that I have a crush on, but she’s married, so I would never say anything out of the way to her. When I first got to the school, an older white teacher in my cluster was very rude and would never speak to me, unless we were alone in the hallway or in the parking lot. I was told that she might be a little racist and to avoid her, so I did..........

Dear Steve and Shirley, since you help everyone, I hope you can help me too. I have been the Senior Pastor of my congregation for 13 years and lately, I’ve been having a problem with an associate minister. He is 41 years old and he is on his fourth marriage. Now his current marriage is in shambles because he has left his wife and moved in with one of the older sisters of the church. He told his wife that he was leaving her but none of us in the church had any idea it would be Sister Joann that he moved in with. Joann is 56 and single and she knows this man is married and she knows his wife, but they are not close........

Dear Steve and Shirley, I've been with my wife over 20 years and I’m still deeply in love with her and still find her very attractive and desirable. I travel often for work but I have never cheated on her while I’m away. We got married very young but have managed to keep our marriage interesting. About six months ago, I joined an online dating app after a friend told me about it. I used it to look at the women’s profiles and text back and forth with a few of them. I had no intention of ever meeting up with anyone. It wasn’t long before one special woman got my attention and we had so much in common, that we ended up texting and video chatting daily............

Dear Steve and Shirley, I have been seeing this amazing guy for a few months. We would go out 3 to 4 times a week and I really like spending time with him. I have no children but he has an eight year old son. Things were great between us until the NBA season started. He is a big basketball fan and whenever there’s a game, we have to go to a bar with a lot of TVs so he won’t miss it. I was okay with that at first because I still got to spend time with him...........

Dear Steve and Shirley, I need your advice but I pray that you are not too stern with me. I am a 31 year old successful and beautiful woman with two children, ages 3 and 1. I am not married, but I am involved with a married man. It’s my sister’s husband. They have been married for 12 years and I started sleeping with her husband 5 years after they were married. My two children are actually his. My sister and my family members have no idea that I’ve been with this man for so long. Years ago, I started lying about dating a guy that lives out of town and I told them that it’s a crazy relationship, so they don’t need to meet him...........

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am 22 years old and I have a 3 year old daughter with my boyfriend. We’ve been together for 6 years but we’ve been off and on the whole time. One night when we were not together, I went out and got really drunk with a guy that has been liking me for a long time. I got so drunk that I passed out and the next morning, I woke up at the guy’s apartment and realized that we had had sex. We went to the store and got a Plan B pill, so I would not get pregnant.............

Dear Steve and Shirley, my husband acts like an absolute child at times and I can’t deal with it. It’s like having a third child and I am so tired of him embarrassing me. The most recent incident went down over the weekend at my Pastor’s house. We were invited to a barbeque and the pastor was a little late because of a wedding he had to do. There was plenty of food on the grill and we always let the elders of the church eat first. The first lady fixed the pastor a plate and sat it to the side and covered it with saran wrap. When it came time for my husband and I to fix a plate, only chicken legs, wieners and burgers were left..............

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’ve been married for 16 years and my wife and I were headed for divorce 6 years ago because of her infidelity. She cheated on me and admitted it, but shortly after that we found out that she was really sick, so I decided to stay with her and help her out because she could only work part time, because of all of her medical appointments. I worked extra hours at a job that I really hated and I paid most of her medical bills..............

Dear Steve and Shirley, my husband is a great provider and what I love most about him is the way that he loves the Lord. We dated for 3 years before we got married and we’ve been married for two months. I love him dearly, but we have a problem in the bedroom. When we make love it's usually a 10 to 15 minute session. We do the pre-game stuff and it’s wonderful. I hook him up and he hooks me up before we get started. But when it comes to getting it on, he is done way too soon. I have a problem with him finishing too fast and not making sure I’m finished before him..........

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a young, healthy and wise beyond my years single woman, that is a leader to my peers. At my young age, I have found the most handsome and amazing man of my dreams. He is respectful, has a great job, a beautiful home and he treats me like a queen. But here is the problem… well, it’s not a problem for us, it’s more of a problem for our friends and family. I am 22 years old and he is 42 years old. Now I know you are also shocked by our age difference, but I love him and believe age has nothing to do with it...........

Dear Steve and Shirley, I have some news to share with you and I need your input. I am a 33 year old woman and I have a female friend that everyone thinks is just a friend, but secretly, she’s my girlfriend. Girlfriend, as in lover. It all started about four years ago when we both were having issues in our love life and we started venting, crying and holding each other. One thing lead to another and it was on! I totally loved the experience and wish I could be with her more, but we live in different cities................

Dear Steve and Shirley, I have dated a man for the past several months and you will not believe what happened over the holiday weekend. He told me that he had plans to go out of town with his buddies since we had a long weekend. He said his phone service might be sketchy while he was driving, so he would call me when he could. He left town Thursday morning and everything was cool, until Friday morning at 9am when he called me. I was surprised to hear from him, but he sounded a lot different............
