Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm a wife and a bonus mom to two teenagers, and my husband has a good co-parenting relationship with his ex-wife. His fourteen year old son lives with us. His seventeen year old daughter is living with her mother. She turned seventeen on July thirtieth, and that is what prompted me to write in for your opinion. My husband told me that we were buying his daughter a car for...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am dating a man that has a lot of female friends. I don't like it, but they seem harmless, so I've learned to go with the flow. He is on a bowling team with two of his closest friends from his childhood. They're girly girls, and it bothers me because I don't do all of the weed, makeup, lashes and stilettos like them. I feel self-conscious around them. To be totally honest...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm a 51 year old married woman and I'm eight years older than my husband. He is successful and he loves the Lord. Those were the two main things I prayed for when I was dating. God gave me exactly what I asked for, but I also got lots of things I didn't ask for. My husband has a quick tongue and loves to talk back when I'm telling him how things should be. I know that he h...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm a forty eight year old single mother of a twenty eight year old grown man. Like me. My son started having children at an early age. I encouraged him to marry the mother of his three children. So they went to the courthouse in 2022 and got married. His wife has done a complete 360. She means one eighty. Now that she's married, or now that they're living together and we c...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I've been dealing with a man for a few years, but we can never stay together longer than three to four months at a time because he disappears for a few days and then pops up like nothing happened. We argue over other women a lot because he refuses to be honest. That's how we fell out again, and this time I don't think I can look past his lies. He has four names tattooed on...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm dating a guy that's been living with a woman for six years and they're not married, so technically he's single, so we're not cheaters. He's not happy with her, but he tries to make her think he is, which is confusing to me. I've been acting like I am his cousin, and I'm tired of covering for this man. If I call him, he pretends like he's talking to one of his homeboys....

Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm sixty three and I've been married for a year. I've known my husband for about thirty years, and we dated off and on for many years before deciding to make it official. This is the first marriage for us both, so we're very set in our ways. I remembered my husband to be open minded and fun loving, but he's changed since the wedding. He knows that I love music and concerts...

Dear Steve and Shirley, My husband and I are in a bad place all because I found him next door with my neighbor's sister. The lady calls to tell me that my husband was complaining of chest pains. I told her to dial 911, and she said my husband didn't want to go to the hospital. She also said my husband didn't want her to call me, but she did anyway. I didn't ask questions until I saw how my husband...

Dear Steve and Shirley, for the past 23 years, I’ve been married to the nicest guy in the world and I have always tried to be the perfect wife and mother. In the beginning of our marriage, our sex life was perfect, but over the past 7 years, things have drastically changed. In 2018, we had sex maybe 8 times in the whole year. I counted them. I don’t think he is cheating, because all he does is go...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I've been married for thirty years. Since I was nineteen darned years old. I had two babies, and my husband wanted one more. I had another one, and then another one. I never even wanted children, but I love my children and gave them all I had, all I had to give. The youngest finally got a job and his own place. I went as fast as I could to get some fillers and injections in...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm a forty seven year old, married married man. My wife's twenty nine year old niece got divorced recently and moved back to town. Her daughter is in a really good preschool that happens to be by our house. So my wife asked if she and her daughter can stay at our house until November, when her alimony payments start and she can move into her own house. She works part time...

Dear Steve and Shirley, My boyfriend is the sweetest person I've ever dated. We met when he picked me up from the airport in his SUV. I had just moved to Alabama and my company hired him to be my driver until my car was delivered. He showed me around the city and introduced me to some of his female friends, but they weren't the kind of women I wanted to be associated with. They're big weed smokers...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm a thirty three year old single woman and I've been in a long distance relationship for the past eight months. He pursued me, and he claimed that he didn't care about the distance because it was love at first sight for him. I had strong feelings for him once I got to know him, but something was keeping me from him from falling head over heels in love with him. He said it...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I've been married for three years and my husband had two sons when we got married. I'm cordial with the mom of his nine year old son. It's the mother of the two year old that I don't vibe with. Here's why my husband and I split up a month before our planned wedding date because we were arguing over wedding plans and money. He started sleeping on the couch and we ignored eac...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I've been with my boyfriend for five years. I moved in with him when I got pregnant, and he asked me to marry him on our daughter's second birthday. We haven't had money for a wedding because he was in the process of starting his clothing line right when I got pregnant. He has a line of sweats, t-shirts, shorts and baseball caps. He runs a business out of our guest room and...

Dear Steve and Shirley, My husband and I have been married for twelve years and he is on just about every committee at our church, so he's always doing something for ladies at our church. He does not offer to take me with him, even though I complain that he does not spend time with me like he used to. He told me that it's part of his calling to serve others. He likes to mirror what our pastor does...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm a forty four year old married woman and my husband has been sleeping in the other room lately. He and I got into an argument on Easter weekend and he told me that he could do a lot better than me and find someone that doesn't nag him or treat him like a child. He's sixty seven and we've been married for four years. Since we got married, I bathe him every night.  I put l...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a hard-working, faithful man. I was married for 15 years to my college sweetheart. I never had any problems in my marriage until I tried to help out a friend. Here’s what happened… my wife had a best friend and the friend was married to a bigtime cheater. We were always there for her if she was going through drama with her husband. Their marriage finally ended when her...
