Strawberry Letter

Dear Steve and Shirley, I have been in a relationship for 19 years but we are not married. I stayed in this relationship because I do really love my guy and we have 5 kids together. Since day one, he has cheated on me and I was young, so I let him get away with it, in hopes that he would get it out of his system. Well things got worse over the years and now he has 4 outside kids with 4 other women. His family knew about the other children, but nobody ever told me about them until recently.........

Dear Steve and Shirley, my husband and I need your help. We want Nephew Tommy’s opinion too. We met in college and we’ve been married for 12 years, so sex can get rather boring over the years, even though we work hard to keep it interesting. My hubby completely fulfils my needs and he says that I’m all he needs. But lately, we have been joking about having a ménage a trois with another woman. I know, I know, married couples should never invite someone else into their bedroom, but we think it would help us more than hurt us.........

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m a 62 year old African American grandmother and this past weekend, I took my 5 year old grand daughter, who I call “Baby Girl,” to a playground in LA, because the weather was so beautiful. I kept a close eye on my baby girl, and I noticed troubling body language between her and a little blonde girl. Moments later, my baby girl dropped down on all fours and started crawling like a dog in the sand, as three other white children laughed at her. I rushed over to them and the children ran off. The look on my grandchild’s face hurt my heart and I could tell she was being bullied, but didn’t realize it. She told me that she was fine and I let her continue to play.........

Dear Steve and Shirley, I've been dating a guy for close to three years and I need some advice on a major issue I’m having with him. I love this man and he is a great guy. He loves me, too, and we have been talking about marriage. But here’s my issue… I can not stand going to his house because it is always a mess. When we spend quality time together, we’re always at my house and I have to encourage him to pick up after himself and not eat all over my house. He and his teenage son live like slobs and I have told him that I don’t feel comfortable at his house........

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a married man that drives part-time as a Lyft/Uber driver for extra income for my family. Last week, I got home late one evening after working my part time job and I decided to take my wife and 2 year old out to dinner. As my wife was securing our child in the car seat, she yelled out “What the hell is this?” I immediately turned around in my seat and I see my wife pinching a huge pair of ladies panties by the corners.........

Dear Steve and Shirley, I've been married for 3 years, but my husband and I have been together for 13 years. Our relationship has had its challenges and lately, we have been arguing over bills and the fact that he sometimes stays out till 5am drinking. My husband and I split the household bills each month and the past two months, he’s been coming up short with his half of our rent money. Whenever I talk to him about money, he gets an attitude and calls me “controlling.” On top of not having his portion of the bill money, he has been lying to me about his whereabouts when he’s out all night..........

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am in desperate need of advice. I was engaged to be married, but my fiancé and I recently split up after my ex-wife caused a whole lot of problems in our relationship. When my ex heard I was engaged, she called me. I told her that I was extremely happy and excited to get remarried. My ex said that she was happy for me and wished me well, which was a big lie. A few days after we talked, my ex created a new Facebook page, named it “The Thompsons” and posted a bunch of old pics from our wedding and family vacations..........

Dear Steve and Shirley,I’m a 37 year old married woman and I found out that my husband was sleeping with my girlfriend, when Shirley read my girlfriend’s Strawberry Letter on the radio. I’ve been married to a man for seven years and I had a girlfriend on the side for most of our marriage. My husband and I had some financial issues so my female friend, who was actually my lover, moved in with us to help out with the bills. My husband had no idea we were lovers. I hope you can remember that letter..........

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m a single 38 year old female and I like dating older gentlemen. I’m open to online dating and I have met some nice men on Facebook, so I often look at men’s profiles and meet them that way. A handsome man in another city caught my eye and I sent him a message. We chatted back and forth and found out that we have a lot in common, even though he is12 years older than me. When we first started video chatting, I thought that he looked familiar, and we’re from the same city, so I just figured our paths crossed somehow in the past.......

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a 32 year old single female and my family moved to the states when I was 15 so we could have a better life. In my culture, I grew up with a huge extended family and we stick close together, but now I have my own apartment and I love having my freedom. My mother often tells me that I should’ve been married years ago so she can have grandbabies, but I’m not ready for that. My parents both have good jobs and finally got the big house they were dreaming of and they have moved more family members to the U.S. to live with them.........
