Strawberry Letter

Dear Steve and Shirley, I've been in a relationship with my fiancé for three years. In the beginning everything was great but things have taken a turn for the worse. She has hit me on two different occasions and it startled me because I have never raised my hand to her even been mad enough to hit her. Lately she has been pointing out my flaws and to add insult to injury. Sex is like a foreign concept to her. She has no desire to have sex with me now no matter how many different ways I try........

Dear Steve and Shirley, I've been listening for years and decided it was time for me to get some advice. I'm a young brother in my early 40s. I have a great career and two sons that are grown. I'm a bit of a homebody so I don't hang out much and I've never liked hanging out in clubs. My issue is that I'm at a point in my life where I'm ready to settle down and be with one good woman but I can't seem to shake the women from my past. I have females that I have been intimate with and I consider them friends with benefits. I've been with some of them for over ten years.....

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a 30 year old female and in a relationship with a 35 year old male. We've been dating about a year and we have a four month old daughter. I have been cheated on in the past relationships. But I felt like this new relationship was going in the right direction since I had my daughter. I have been very insecure about my weight but my boyfriend still says I am the woman he wants to marry. Well one day, curiosity got the best of me and I went through my boyfriends phone.........

Dear Steve and Shirley, You're not going to believe this. I'm a married man and my wife and I just purchased our first home in a new community. To celebrate home ownership, my boys took me out for drinks. We ended up going to a strip club and I got very drunk which are two things I had not done since I got married. The strippers were some of the sexiest women I had ever seen and we paid for our own private VIP area in the club. So we each had a dancer that catered to us all night. My dancer did all kinds of freaky stuff to me. We did everything except go all the way. Right afterwards when I sobered up, I was disappointed with myself and I swore to my boys that I would never go to another strip club.......

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a 48 year old single mother with a 10 year old son. My boyfriend and I recently purchased a house together. He works out of town but he's home for half of the month. He has a 15 year old son and he has joint visitation with his son’s mom. Over the summer my boyfriend told me that his son will be living with us this school year because his mom is having problems disciplining him. Mind you my boyfriend lets his son run over him and his son has an attitude problem. I told my boyfriend that I don't think I should handle that responsibility by myself while he's working out of town........

Dear Steve and Shirley, My husband and I have been together for 25 years and we've been married for 18 years. He's a great father and provider and we have a lot of fun together, but he says I'm a constant nagger. My husband has done a few crazy things since we've been together and I let him know when he's wrong but I don't nag him. For example one of his many female friends texted him good morning and I called him out on it. I called her his girlfriend and he said she's just a friend. My husband also will go out with a female friend whenever he chooses to. I like to say he's going out on dates with these women but he always says it's innocent.....

Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm an older female with old school ways of doing things. After many years of marriage I'm now divorced and back on the dating scene. I never would have imagined how much things have changed when it comes to dating. I am learning about all of these online dating apps but they scare me so I've been dating the traditional way. I've met two nice men in my community but I have a problem with how they communicate with me. They both like to send text messages instead of calling me to get to know me. Please tell me that texting is not the new way of talking to people........

Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm a 30 year old woman and I've been dating a 35 year old man for a little over a year and I need your advice about an issue. When we started dating, we were already following each other on Instagram and Facebook and I noticed that we had one mutual friend a female that I went to college with. My boyfriend is following her on Instagram and Facebook. I asked him how he knew her and he said that he was interested in her before we started dating. He said they never met and he has never sent her any messages on social media. I told him that I know her personally and although we don't talk often we are good friends. So then I noticed that he started liking her pictures on Instagram.......

Dear Steve and Shirley, This one is short and sweet. I actually want Tommy's opinion too if that’s ok. I've been married to a wonderful man for the past 12 years and we have a great marriage. I have done any and everything to make him happy. Most importantly we have a very exciting sex life. I often let him have threesomes and I've started to really enjoy them myself but there was a big problem. Our threesomes are always with females..........

Dear Steve and Shirley, My husband and I met 14 years ago. We both were young adults when we met. Through the years we’ve had many ups and downs. Our biggest problem has been his cheating. I have forgiven him but it's hard to forget what he's done. I stay with him because I love him and he has been the best father to our children from day one and about three years ago one of his flings called me and gave me all the juicy details of their relationship. I was absolutely heartbroken. How could he have done all of this stuff with another woman? We took our vows before God our family and our friends..........

Dear Steve and Shirley, Two years ago I met the most amazing woman. I'm from the hood and she is from a small country town and we are very different in many ways but we also have a lot in common. We quickly became best friends and she is the only girl that I could see myself with in a long-term relationship, but here's the problem. After eight months of dating I was struggling with the fact that she is white and I was scared to take her home to my mother. So I decided to take a break, but I couldn't get her off my mind and quickly realized that I had made a mistake. So after we were apart for two months I called her and explained everything.........

Dear Steve and Shirley, My former best friend won't speak to me. Here's what happened. My best friend and her boyfriend have been in an on and off relationship for 12 years. I never really cared for this man because I know that he has cheated on her multiple times with multiple women. She continually takes them back in hopes that he might change. I don't get in her business but it breaks my heart that she is constantly being disrespected by him. Just last week construct trusted source told me that my best friend's man is messing with a female he works with. I told my best friend and she pretended that it was no big deal.......

Dear Steve and Shirley, I need your help. My fiance and I have been in a great relationship for four years and things were great until recently when I happened to scroll across a steamy video of us on his phone. We have our own YouTube channel with a lot of followers that love our Funny videos of the two of us doing silly things and I edit all of our videos for the channel. The other day I had this phone so I could edit a recent video of us on a shopping spree as I scroll through his videos. I saw one that was a total shocker. The video was only 20 seconds long but it was 20 seconds of one of our hottest intimate moments........

Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm a 32 year old divorced mother of five. Recently I met the man that I am now in love with. The chemistry was bananas from the moment we met. He accepted my children with no problem. To top it all off he's tall dark handsome and the sex is so good. It brought a tear to my eye one night. When we met, he was unemployed and living with his grandma but he won me over with his persistence and great personality. I encouraged and helped him complete a training program and then start a career. Well here's the dilemma. He is extremely jealous. Any misstep on my behalf such as a missed call or a delayed text response he starts to act crazy.......

Dear Steve and Shirley, Let me start off by saying that I love my wife but I just can't be intimate with her. My wife and I dated for two years and we've been married for six months. Now that we are married and living together, I get to see all of her bad habits and nasty ways. When we were dating I knew that she smoked cigarettes and drank alcohol. After we got married, I realized that she has to have a drink every day and her smoking is really really bad. She constantly sprays the house to mask the cigarette smell but her breath always smells like an ashtray. Then her drinking is so bad some nights that she keeps me up all night with her drunken antics. When she wants to be intimate with me, it's a turn off.......
