Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm dating a man that was married. When I met him, he was going through a hard divorce, so I allowed him to vent and even cry sometimes because he was going through it. I loved how he never said anything negative about his ex wife. I felt like she had to be an evil person because of how bad the divorce was. I finally talked to her for the first time, and she's far from evil. But first, let me tell you what happened. Two weekends ago. I went to Dallas for the day and I drove back home that same night. My boyfriend said he was out watching the game. He sent me a text that said he wanted to see me before I left, and another one that said please, please please.....................................

I’ve always had a heart for giving back and a passion for helping my community. I was born and raised in Atlanta, GA, growing up on the south side in Riverdale, GA. I attended school in Atlanta from preschool to 8th Grade thereafter, I moved to Decatur and attended Southwest Dekalb High School. I was blessed to have great parents and although they divorced when I was very young, they afforded me and my sister a great childhood. I always knew I wanted to make a difference in the underserved and especially the developmentally disabled community. I also knew that I wanted to become an entrepreneur and use my leadership skills to positively affect the community in a way that I couldn’t while working for a major bank. I had to step out on faith and take a risk and I did so by opening a home healthcare company–FirmCare Life Sharing. My company has an emphasis on helping developmentally disabled children and seniors in low-income communities within and around the metro Atlanta area as well other cities within the state of Georgia.

Dear Steve and Shirley, My boyfriend is in love with his brother's wife and he won't admit it. It started as a joke, but now it's starting to get under my skin. I met his brother. The same night I met him. His brother had just started dating the lady he married. That was four years ago. They are married, but my boyfriend and I are not. My boyfriend idolizes his sister in law and compliments her when she's all dressed up, which is all of the time. Her hair is sure and fly and she has expensive purses and shoes. She called me last week and asked me if we could do a day of pampering together.................................................

Dear Steve and Shirley, My husband and I decided early against having children. We have a great social life and our house is still the hangout spot for our friends. He's sixty one and I'm fifty nine, and we have made the marriage work for twenty seven years. Last year I found out he was cheating. His lover kept calling his phone over and over, so I told him to handle it. He told me that he handled it. I decided not to stress about it because there was nothing I could do to stop him from cheating, and I was not ready to leave him and be alone, so I didn't ask any questions. He did all he could to show me how remorseful he was for cheating, and I was just happy that our friends didn't find out, so I didn't have to deal with the embarrassment and stress.........................................................

Dear Steve and Shirley, I got married three years ago and I love sex. My husband works hard as a construction worker, so I let him relax before I get nasty with them. I make sure I feed him first. When we go to bed really early because his days start early. He makes sure we're having sex by 9pm. He takes care of business and I go on to sleep every time. I was living the dream and didn't know that he had a problem with anything we had going on in the bedroom. But apparently he does, and I found out through a third party...........................

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am twenty eight years old and my boyfriend is twenty seven. He was an old flame that I had in school, and I decided to rekindle things with him. He pursued me, and I finally gave in. I realized he was the missing piece in my life and he told me the same thing. He moved in with me the second week of our relationship, and we were learning to love each other again. All was well until he took me to his family reunion. His ex-girlfriend was there and he knew she would be there. He has a daughter with her, so she came with his daughter......................................................

Dear Steve and Shirley, My husband and I have been together for twenty four years and married for fifteen years. We dated and broke up a lot in the past because he's a cheater. He had sex with six women that I know of, and I'm sure there are plenty that I don't know about in the past fifteen years. He said he's been faithful and he stopped all of the messing around a year before we got married. My husband has embarrassed me to no end, and my family still has a problem with accepting him. I thought things were going good and I kind of let my guard down, but my family was right and I never should have married him. I could be wrong, but all the evidence points to him cheating again........................................
