Strawberry Letter

Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm 27 years old and my husband and I have been legally separated for three years. I recently filed for divorce and I cannot believe that he is not contesting it. I just knew it would make him come to his senses and come back home to me and the children. I will admit that I've done some things in my marriage that many people will say is evil but I was just doing me.....

Dear Steve and Shirley, In the spring of 1976 during my senior year of college, I met a girl….she was a sophomore. We hit it off immediately and we became inseparable. After my graduation, I accepted a job in New York and we would see each other twice a month. After she graduated, we eloped and on our wedding night, we had sex for the very first time. Lionel Richie was our favorite entertainer and like his song, we would be at it “All Night Long,” every night! 

Dear Steve and Shirley, I need your point of view on my situation. I'm a very successful black male in my late 30s. I have a career and I'm working on my doctorate degree. I own my own home and I live a great life. My only problem is that most of my friends that I hang out with are getting married engaged or are in a very serious relationship and I am the only one that is still happily single. My male friends are starting to put pressure on me to stress me out about finding one nice female and settling down.....

Dear Steve and Shirley, I have a male best friend that I want to be more than friends with. I was taught that the man is supposed to pursue the woman so I've never attempted to tell him how I feel about him. We have been friends for ten years and although we have a strictly platonic relationship, our friends and family make jokes about us already being a couple.....

Dear Steve and Shirley, I have known my husband for 20 years and we've been married for three years. He cheated on me multiple times with multiple women but I'm standing by my wedding vows. I always pray that the good Lord would see us through his infidelity and now we're rebuilding our marriage. Not many women would be as forgiving as I am. Having said all of that I still have plenty of good sense and I've reached my limit on foolishness......

Dear Steve and Shirley, I have been in love in a loving relationship for about a year with a man who for the most part has provided protected and professed his love for me. We have so much in common but we have several issues where there is total disagreement. In the beginning, we would laugh as we expressed our divergent views on such things as gun control immigration and sexual orientation......

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am dating a man that I consider to be my soul mate. We have a long distance relationship but we see each other often. He always comes to visit me and I would always make sure that my house was clean. I would go out of my way to impress him. This past weekend, I went to visit him for the first time after driving for four hours, I got to his house and I was immediately shocked and disappointed by what I saw.....

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a hairstylist and in the last few years I've built up a great clientele and I'm enjoying the fruits of my labor. I was able to buy a new car and I purchased my first home, a nice home. I also have found love again with a great supportive man. So here's my problem. My professional life and my love life are going great but my friendships are suffering. I've lost a lot of girlfriends in this past year....

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am in desperate need of advice. I am a 30 year old female and I am still a virgin. I grew up in the church and I was taught to wait until marriage before sharing that part of myself. I believe that if I did the Lord would send me a husband, but now here I am 30 years old still single and wondering if I am just being naive. All of my friends who started having sex in their teenage years are all married....

Dear Steve and Shirley, I recently got a great government job. I love my new job and I make really good money but I'm having a big problem with my new boss. My boss calls my cell phone at night and on the weekends and he sends me text messages of a sexual nature. He pops by my office daily and says all types of perverted things to me.....

Dear Steve and Shirley, I used to be a working girl, but I've been out of the game for five years. Since I made this big lifestyle change, I have only dated one man and he knew about my past and was willing and able to take care of me. Now that I'm back on the dating scene, it's been hard for me to transition to another good man....

Dear Steve and Shirley, My husband and I have been married for 24 years and he thinks sex is the answer to everything. A prime example of this is last month when we went to a barbecue at his mother's house, when I bent over to get a soda out of the cooler I caught my husband lustily looking at my butt. A lot of friends and family members saw him too and they all laughed.....

Dear Steve and Shirley, This past Valentine's Day started out as the most amazing day with the man of my dreams. We planned to go out to dinner. So after work I went to his condo and waited for him to get home. The moment he walked through the door we got busy quick and Wild Style. Afterwards we pulled ourselves together and went out to dinner. He gave me the bottle of perfume that I've always wanted. 

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.....

Dear Steve and Shirley, I have a big problem. Two years ago I relocated for work. Before I moved I had a special lady that I enjoyed spending time with. She was a big fine woman, thick in all of the right places. It's been a year since I had seen her and I was missing her good loving so I called her and told her I was sending her a bus ticket to come visit me.......
