Strawberry Letter

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a 29 year old single female and my dad is a well-known pastor. I moved back home after college and I’ve been a big part of the church family since then. I help out with the youth ministry and I get along well with the youth minister. He is five years older than me and he’s married. The youth minister and I always had great faith-based talks and I looked up to him as a spiritual mentor, until recently..................

Dear Steve and Shirley, I prayed and asked God to send me a great man. It took ten long years but my prayers were answered and I got an amazing man. We're getting married this month but there's just one problem. I was taught that you should watch how a man loves and treats his mother because it will show you what kind of man he is. Well, I recently learned that my fiance does not respect his mother 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. The other day, a girl slid her phone number and address in my pocket and said I was welcome to stop by...............

Dear Steve and Shirley, I've been married to a wonderful man for almost 30 years. He's an excellent father and provider, but over the years I've spent a lot of time alone in my marriage. At one point I was very lonely. There was a lot of love and kindness but no passion. A neighbor and I would talk occasionally and he picked up on my extreme loneliness and saw that I was vulnerable. He used it to his advantage and we ended up having sex. I'm not placing all of the blame on my neighbor because I am a grown woman and I knew better..............

Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm newly married and my husband told me that he was a freak when we started dating. He is loving and supportive, a hard-working family man and a great father, but he is constantly stressing me out over sex. He's an awesome lover but I can’t seem to keep up with his sex drive lately. I guess I’m in an open marriage because I’m sure he’s having sex outside of our marriage. I knew his sex drive was off the charts, but I thought I could handle him....................

Dear Auntie Shirley and Uncle Steve, I have a problem with my real family members, so I want to be your niece instead. Here’s my problem… I’m a 28 year old woman that was raised by three uncles that were like father figures to me and I’m very close to all of them. One of my uncles is getting on my last nerve though. I’m really close with his daughter, my cousin, and she’s sick of him too. We grew up staying at grandma’s house and we watched my uncles have lots of different women around the house.............

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a 42 year old woman and I have been seeing a man for 6 months and we go out several times a week and we’ve started having sex. The intimacy is good, but he was a bit aggressive at first, so I had to get him to settle down a bit. But that’s not the problem I have with him. There are times I can’t reach him and when he’s non-responsive, he tells me he’s out with a friend. It became clear to me who his friend might be, when he invited me to go shopping and I ended up feeling like the third wheel................

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. She had sent him multiple pictures of herself and they called each other baby on the messages............

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am happily married and my wife and I have two kids. The problem is I have a female friend from college. My female friend is also married with two kids and she lives in another state. We hardly ever see each other, but we do keep in touch. Over 15 years ago, she and I had sex. My wife knows we were intimate in the past because we all went to the same college. The other day I was talking to my friend on the phone, we chatted about reality TV shows, I congratulated her on her anniversary and we talked about our children.............

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’ve been dating a man for 15 months and we are in a monogamous relationship. He’s 57 years old and I’m 49 years old and we’re both divorced. We get along well, but I need your advice. This past weekend, I stayed over at his house on Friday night, all day Saturday and Saturday night. On Sunday morning, we woke up and cooked breakfast and then we lounged around and watched football. He got up and changed his clothes and told me he was headed to the gym. I thought it would be the perfect time to take a nap before I cooked dinner.............
