Strawberry Letter

Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm 23 years old and I just got married. I am a little worried that I got married too soon because I realized I can’t do all the things I had planned to do with my life right now. We moved to Illinois after we got married, but I want to finish college in North Carolina this fall. I’m sure now that we can't afford for me to go back and finish school and keep up with our rent and bills. My best friend and I planned to get our bachelor degrees and then go to grad school and we were going to live like the girls on “Living Single” for a few years......

Dear Steve and Shirley, I have been with my man for 3 years and we started living together 7 months ago. I’m a nurse and he does construction work. I love his work ethic and his commitment to his job and the long hours he puts in. When he comes home from work, he washes his clothes, takes a shower, we eat and then we go to bed. But here’s the problem… throughout the night, while he is sleeping, he sweats really bad! His pillow is drenched and the mattress on his side is wet, too and I have to let the bed dry out daily and change our bed linens more often than I should. I can’t stand it, so I mentioned to him that he should see doctor........

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a 43 year old single mom of two. For the past year, I have been seeing a nice 43 year old gentleman that I've met on the Plenty Of Fish dating site. When we met, I told him that I was ready for a relationship not just to hook up for sex. He said let's see where it goes. Two weeks later after talking on the phone we finally met up and we ended up having sex that first night. Darn it Steve, it was so good that I could not stop. We continued to have sex at least once a week and he started staying overnight at my house.......

Dear Steve and Shirley, I need some help with one of my closest friends. He and I have known each other since middle school and he’s always been a bit lazy. He comes from a fairly privileged background and I believe that made him feel entitled to certain things in life, without actually working for them. We are in our early 30s now and he still lives with mother, works part time, and never finished college. The majority of his time and money is spent doing photo shoots for Instagram, because he seems to be trying to brand himself as a socialite or local celebrity......

Dear Steve and Shirley, I need help! When I was a teenager, my parents went through a horrible divorce and my mom moved to a new city to start over. I love my both my parents equally, but I chose to stay with my dad so I would not miss my senior year of high school with my friends. My dad has always been a pastor and now I am the minister of music at our church. A few years after the divorce, my dad got remarried to a beautiful woman that is a bit younger than him. We got along great and spent holidays and special occasions together as a family. Well, about a year ago, my father was away on a ministry mission and my stepmom invited me over for dinner........

Dear Steve and Shirley, I've been with my man for two years and we have lived together for the past year. We have a really good relationship but there's one problem. He will not have any kind of sexual relations with me and this has been going on since we started living together. He says he wants to wait until we are married but he has not even proposed. We're not at that point in our relationship yet. He told me that when God puts it in his heart, he will ask me to marry him. When we first started dating we had sex all of the time. I am 56 years old and he is 60 years old and I think it's a little late in life for him to be practicing celibacy..........

Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm 49 years old, but I look 30, praise the Lord! I'm an entertainer by nature. I love life and I celebrate it every day. I'm high energy, and always the life of the party wherever I go. Recently, I started an Instagram account to showcase my talent and I have a few hundred followers that like my work. I learned from you, Steve, that it’s never too late to pursue your dreams. So here’s my issue. My so-called friends told me that I’m not as good as I think I am and when they come to my shows, it’s just for a good laugh. They told me that they have been laughing at me and not with me for the longest time, but they didn’t have the heart to tell me.........

Dear Steve and Shirley, I need some serious advice. Steve, I’ve read all of your books and I follow many of your rules, especially the “No sex before 90 days” rule. I am dating a compassionate and caring man and he’s such a gentleman. He is affectionate, but understood when I told him we should wait to be intimate. It was no problem. So, we have passed our 90 day trial period and we’ve started having sex. I felt like the time was right and so did he. Well, the first three times we had sex, it was great and he was just as pleased as I was........

Dear Steve and Shirley, There is so much going on in my home. I've been with my husband for 18 years and we've been married for four years. I have three children from a previous marriage and we have a daughter together. My husband does not like my children and he talks about them constantly. My kids don't like him either and after we got married they moved out of the house. The daughter that I have with him was 13 years old when we got married and she told me that I should not marry her daddy. I questioned her but she would not tell me why. When my husband is at home he stays in our bedroom with the door closed and the TV is always on blast............

Dear Steve and Shirley, I have a loving heart and always try to help others. That being said the other day I was in the discount store buying toiletries to make packets for the homeless. I keep at least five packets in my car at all times and I give them out when I see the need. So I was in the checkout line and there was a couple in front of me. I overheard the lady ask the clerk how much was tax on a seven ninety nine shirt. The cashier told her 69 cents. Both the man and woman started looking everywhere for the change. I eased over to the man and I tried to slip two dollars in his hand........
