Strawberry Letter

  Dear Steve and Shirley, I reconnected with an old high school flame in January and we got engaged a couple of weeks ago. Well before he asked me to marry him he told me about his female best friend. He told me that he had sex with his best friend years ago but they didn't have any romantic feelings whatsoever for each other.....

Dear Steve and Shirley, My fiance and I have been together for four years. When we were dating I would sneak and go through his phone to see his text messages and call logs. He didn't have a password on his phone at the time. One day I went through his phone and I found exactly what I was looking for. I saw that my man had been texting his child's mom for a month and the texts to her were sexually explicit.....

Dear Steve and Shirley I am a 37 year old wife and mother I've been married for 14 years and my husband and I have four children and we are raising a fifth child, which is my sister's child. Here's my issue. Three years ago my younger sister called me and said she was pregnant and she wanted to terminate her pregnancy because she already had two children and this pregnancy was unplanned......

Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm in a new relationship and about two months ago, we started our sexual adventures. He is an amazing man in and out of bed. I am 28 years old and he's 10 years older than I am. I love our relationship but I have one major issue. He likes to pull my hair. To be more specific, he likes to pull my weave while we're being intimate. A couple of nights ago, he pulled my hair so hard that my scalp was on fire the next day and I had whiplash for the past two days. My darn neck hurts....

Dear Steve and Shirley, I think that I have it all figured out when it comes to dating, yet I'm still single. I have created a few dating guidelines for the men I meet and my friends don't agree with my guidelines. I think a man should be a man at all times and provide for me. So here are a few of my guidelines. I never give a key to my house to a man. When I first meet him. He has to earn the key by helping me with the rent or mortgage.....

Dear Steve and Shirley. I need your advice because I really want to kick my dad's wife’s behind. I am a 42 year old single mother of two kids. My children's dads don't help me financially so my father has helped me raise my kids for the past 15 years. Well, I recently lost my job and everything went downhill. I was unable to pay my rent so I had to move out of my apartment at the beginning of this month.....

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a wife and a mother with a great career. I love my husband he is my best friend and an amazing father. But sometimes I feel like he doesn't value me. Before we got married I knew he wasn't very romantic and he didn't pay attention to details. Over the years I realized that he does not get me....

Dear Steve and Shirley, I have an issue with my wife's image on social media. My wife has an Instagram account and I feel like the picture she posts are inappropriate for a married woman. I don't have an Instagram account. So for a long time I had no idea what she was posting on her page. One day I asked her to see her Instagram page and as I started flipping through the pics I was so shocked by what I saw......

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....

Dear Steve and Shirley, Four months ago I married the love of my life. So far, our marriage is great. I'm a head chef at a high end restaurant and I love my job, but I work long hours. There are a lot of beautiful single female servers and bartenders that work at the restaurant and it seems like since I got married these women have started to show me a lot of attention. A couple of the girls have asked me to hang out after work......

Dear Steven Shirley I'm a 41 year old married man. My wife and I have been married for 19 years. We've also been living with her parents for the entire 19 years. It's not a financial thing. We are good on that front. Her parents are also financially stable and healthy. When I met my wife she was living with her parents. He told me once we got married we had to live with her parents but it would only be temporary. He would only be there for three years......

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a 30 year old mother of two and I've been married since I was 18.

Dear Steve and Shirley I need your honest advice here because I don't know how to handle this situation. I'm in my late 40s and in a good relationship with a man my age. We are well above the age of foolishness, but recently we had a big disagreement. I was staying at his house the other night and I got a call from my ex husband, who I still consider a friend. My ex husband is still single and he lives alone......

Dear Shirley Strawberry, I've been dating this guy's whole lot of empty promises. I let him in my life. He had potential. Nice looking, in school recently obtained his master's, hard working at one time held down two jobs, had his own place. At one time I had the key. Then along comes a BFF a best friend forever from New Jersey and he took the key back and then they move in to a 2 bedroom apartment......

Dear Steve and Shirley, I've been with my husband for 30 years. He's a great father and a great son to his mother, but he falls short on being a good husband. When I met him I thought that if a man treats his mother like a queen he will be a great husband, but after all of these years I think that I may be living with a mama's boy.......
