Strawberry Letter

Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm in a long distance relationship with a guy that I dated in high school. We both married other people, and we both got divorced last fall, so we decided to give dating a try again, but he lives almost three hours away, so I don't get to see him as much as I'd like to. He came to see me over the weekend, and this was our first time having sex in nineteen years. I was so r...

Dear Steve and Shirley, My brother and I were best friends, and I love his wife like she's my blood relative. Her family has become my family because my brother and I lost our mom ten years ago and our daddy is a loser. His wife's family has welcomed me for Christmases, Birthdays and other family gatherings. All of that has come to an end because I took up for my brother and it backfired on me. I...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I have some news to share with you and I need your input. I am a 33 year old woman and I have a female friend that everyone thinks is just a friend, but secretly, she’s my girlfriend. Girlfriend, as in lover. It all started about four years ago when we both were having issues in our love life and we started venting, crying and holding each other. One thing lead to another a...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I've been married for seven years and I need advice because my husband is being inappropriate with the girl that keeps our kids. I was at the hair salon and a girl that goes to church with me asked if I had the same babysitter that used to come to church with me. I told her yes, and she asked if I had seen the pictures from the babysitter's trip to Destin. I am not on TikTo...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m 28 years old and single and I’ve had the worst dating history of all of my friends. I was recently dating a guy that told me he had a stalker and we had to lay low for a while until she left him alone. I understood why he might have a stalker because he is fine and sexy with a bald head and full beard. He’s 36 years old so I was intrigued by dating an older man for the...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm separated from my husband because he cheated on me and the girl he was dating had a miscarriage. He left me and his son to be there for her while she was grieving. Yes, it was his baby. I decided to move on too, and I've been with my new boyfriend for two months. My husband never expected from me to get a boyfriend, and he was shocked when our eleven year old son told h...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm in the most trifling phase of my life, but it took the last incident to shake some sense into me. I was with the married guy that I deal with occasionally. He told me to stop by to get some money. So I went by his house while his wife was having dinner with her parents. I have my Lyft driver drive by the restaurant so I can make sure her car was still there. I went into...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm married to a man that calls himself a preacher without a church. I call him a motivational manipulator. He goes on Facebook and says he's a prophet, and he sees stuff differently than anyone else. He said he can sense when our dog has indigestion. Everyone in our house can sense it too, because we can smell it, but we humor my husband. He tries to spook our kids into no...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I've been with Don for four years, off and on. That kind of threw me because she put his name in there. I've been with Don for four years, oh, on and off. He's a great friend, lover and hard worker, but he's messy. He tells all of his sister's business and his older sister beat him up several years ago. He didn't learn his lesson, and he did it again. His older sister is su...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm thirty nine and divorced. My male cousin is thirty, and he's been staying with me for the past month. I'm in a long distance relationship and I'm usually with my man, so that means my cousin has my house to himself a lot. I trust him, and I don't mind if he has company. But I was shocked to come home early and hear him and his female companion having sex. I heard him as...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm forty seven years old and my husband is seventy four. I used to work for him and we became close over the years, but we never had any romantic interest in each other. His wife passed in 2021 from pneumonia, and I was there for him. I made sure he ate and took his medicine. I got a few ladies from my church to assist me with cleaning out his wife's closets so he could mo...

Dear Steve and Shirley, In 2017 I met a handsome man at a nail salon. He stared at me the entire time so I gave him my card as I left. He called and invited me to his apartment for dinner and we have been together since that night. He’s a big flirt and a bit too outgoing and it’s always bothered me. Two years ago, I started checking his phone and he was always talking to different women. Whenever...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I was dating Mr. Right for almost one year and we got a condo together and looked at rings together. He is a physician and his practice is about an hour from where our condo is. We dated publicly and I met all his friends and his sister. He never gave me any reason to suspect that he was married. He is an avid golfer in his spare time and he usually stays at the resort wher...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m a 57 year old single woman but I am dealing with a man that is slightly older than me. He’s a nice man and he just lost his wife so he’s trying to settle down with me. We have great chemistry in the bedroom and that is what’s the most important to me. He matches my freakiness and has taken it to a whole new level but after five months of dating, he said he wants to only...

Dear Steve and Shirley, My husband and I have been married for eleven years and we have our separate spaces in the house. This has helped us cope with the day to day stress of being married. I have a group of friends that I play cards with once a month, but I prefer to be at home, watching movies and reading. My husband is nothing like me. He's very outgoing and he loves to be outside, as he calls...

Dear Steve and Shirley, My husband and I have an auto detailing shop, but we make the most money with our mobile detailing truck. My husband has been running the mobile detailing business all by himself because he said he can't find anyone that's as good as he is. Most of his mobile customers are single females that don't like going to a car wash. I go by the shop daily to pick up the cash so I ca...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm thirty eight years old and my husband is forty two. We've been married for six years and his business has taken off in the past three years. He used to be a club promoter and now he owns a lounge with three other guys. I was scared to date a man that's always in the streets, but he's proven that he's just out to get the bag and bring it home so he can spoil me. I truste...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I've been married for thirteen years and my wife and I work from home. I do food deliveries two nights a week just so I can get out of the house and give her some space. She goes walking with ladies in our neighborhood to give me space. I love that she's lost weight and kept it off, and so have I. We don't have sex as much as we used to, but when we do we still have the bes...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m 51 year old married woman and I’ve been with my husband for 7 years. We met at a rap concert while picking up our daughters who were both 16 at the time. He and I started talking about how we shouldn’t have let our daughters go unchaperoned. My daughter and her friends came out first and he got my number before I walked away. We instantly clicked and he proposed after a...

Dear Steve and Shirley, My husband is driving me batty with his occasional drinking and mood swings that come with it. He has embarrassed me for the last time, and I hate that he can never remember what he did or said when he was drunk. On the flip side, he's the sweetest man in the world when he doesn't drink. Saturday, we had an engagement party to go to and my husband started drinking around no...
