Strawberry Letter

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am writing this letter as a concerned third party. I have two friends that have been married for over 15 years and I thought they had the perfect marriage, until recently.  The husband is a wonderful, handsome man that cleaned up his image and left the street life behind, to marry my friend and help raise her 5 children, by a few different men. He worked multiple jobs to keep the family stable and I really admire him for that, so I was devastated when his wife told me that she was unhappy in the marriage and had been having an affair..........

Dear Steve and Shirley, I have been engaged to my fiancé for a year and I love her dearly. When we met, I had a lot of female friends and I let those friendships die down a bit, out of respect for her. I remained really close with my best friend, though. He and I have been friends since we were 11 years old and we’ve been through a lot together. He lives in a different state, so we talk and text a lot, but now that’s a big problem for my fiancé. She listens to our conversations when he calls, she goes through my phone and reads our text messages and it’s getting to be too much...........

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am in my early twenties and I’m dating a guy that I've known this since high school. He was my high school crush and I always dreamed of being his girl. He had a longtime girlfriend and they broke up last year, so I made the first move to see if he was interested. He was, and we’ve been dating for five months now. He is a good boyfriend and the sex was as good as I thought it would be. Everything about him was pretty normal until recently, when I noticed he had a couple of furry animal costumes in his closet. We were lying in his bed, talking, and I noticed them so I jokingly asked if they were some old Halloween costumes.............

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am dating a guy that I am embarrassed of. He and I met in college about 8 years ago and we lost contact initially because he got kicked out of college for behavioral issues and I moved to a different city after I got my degree. He found me a year ago and we have been trying to make a relationship work since then. We were much younger when we met and the way he acted did not bother me as much then. But now, we’re good and grown and his behavior is a turnoff. He says ignorant things on a daily basis and it gets under my skin......

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a 30 year old single man and I had a special lady that I dated for 4 years. Over the years, we had our differences, so we were on again, off again. During one of our off periods, she dated another guy and she got pregnant. Things did not work out with the guy and she and I got back together and I vowed to raise the baby girl as my child. My girl and I have paid for everything that this child has ever needed. Now my girl and I have called it quits for good. I still love her dearly, but there is no romantic involvement whatsoever...........

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a 38 year old single mom and my daughter is a sophomore at a local college. She lives on campus, but she comes home to wash clothes on the weekends. She had been dating an upper classman and I wanted to meet him, so she brought him over to the house a few weeks ago. As soon as she and the guy walked in, I could not believe how fine this young man was. He is a 22 year old senior and he’s 6’2” with creamy chocolate skin. He has his head on straight and he plans to go to graduate school next summer...........

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m a 65 year old grandmother that has recently got back on the dating scene. After dating a few losers, I met a really nice 74 year old gentleman on a dating site designed for seniors. We have been exclusive almost a year and not long ago, I gave him a key to my house and he gave me a key to his house. Last Friday, I went to his house after work so I could have dinner ready when he got home. I got to his house and decided to get comfortable for cooking, so I went into his closet to get a pair of sweat pants and I got a tee shirt out of a drawer.........

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a 48 year old happily married man. I’ve been married for 17 years to one of the finest women in the world, but six months ago, my wife and I hit a rough patch in our sex life because I’m on high blood pressure medicine and I can’t perform like I used to. I’ve found different ways to make sure my wife is pleased and she has not had any complaints. She tried different things for me too, but nothing worked. As long as she’s happy, I’m happy. Fast forward to a month ago, I went out for drinks after work with my co-workers and there was a group of us, drinking, dancing and having a great time............

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am married and have been with my wife for many years. We were good friends before we became lovers and I helped her work through a lot of bad relationships before we started dating. I’ve never held her past against her and I never throw it up in her face. But, whenever we are out with our married friends, my wife likes to point out how she used to kick it back in the day and brag about all of the lavish gifts she got from her past lovers. It’s embarrassing to me and it makes her look bad. I told her that she sounds like a loose woman, but she said her past is in the past and it means nothing to her now...........

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a 49 year old female married to a 49 year old man. I have five children and five grandchildren. Here is the problem. My current husband is not the father of my children. I married this man when my children were young. So he's been in their lives for a very long time. My youngest son just graduated from high school and will be going away for college. So now my husband thinks that we're done raising children and from now on it will be just the two of us. He has said that we don't have to worry about the kids anymore because they are all grown and have their own lives. So am I not supposed to be involved with my children since they are no longer living at home..........
