Strawberry Letter

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m a 30 year old flight attendant and I’m married to a 44 year old professor. I met him when I was in grad school and we started dating after I got my degree. He was going through a divorce and we kept our relationship private until it was finalized. He has a 17 year old daughter that found out on social media and she started a lot of chaos in our lives.......................

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m a 49 year old single woman and I say I’m single because I’ve been in a dead-end relationship for almost 10 years. I was so in love with this man and I felt like he loved me but he stopped telling me after 3 years of being together. Instead of telling me, he’d say that I was the closest thing he had to a wife and everyone knows who his #1 is.................................

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a 34 year old single mother. I have had the same best friend for 20 years and she is my daughter’s godmother. My daughter’s father died when she was 2 years old and my best friend said she would always be there for my child. Well, she has not kept her promise! My daughter is 7 years old now and she has a spicy personality and behavioral problems............ See omnystu...

Dear Steve and Shirley, my husband and I have been married for 3 years. Our marriage was going good until a year ago, when he told me he was having an affair. Shortly after we met, he told me about a female friend of his that lives out of town and she’s like a little sister to him. I met her 5 years ago when she came to town for homecoming. We got along great, but I don’t trust any females around...

Dear Steve and Shirley, my co-worker and I have a strong bond. I am what you would call his work-wife. My work husband and my real husband talk often and since my work husband is dating a scandalous woman, my husband has been counseling him a lot. When my husband and I met the girlfriend, she looked at us like we were garbage and didn’t deserve to be in her presence..................................

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m a 49 year old married woman and my husband is 47 and boring with a capital B. We have gained weight since we got married and he’s a thigh and butt kind of guy so he’s constantly rubbing on me and grabbing my behind. That’s all he’s done to show me affection in the last year. Sex with him is boring and as soon as he is done, he falls asleep. We don’t cuddle and he sleeps...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m a 41 year old white lady and I work in corporate America with a very good job. I go to work dressed like a million bucks every day because I had help buying my designer pieces. I always start at the top when I date and I’ve never dated a man that is beneath me. A man isn’t even beneath me when we are having sex. I’m always on top in everything I do. I have a son and he...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’ve been married for three years and he cheated before our wedding. We met in an online chat room and he said I had all of the values that he desired in a wife. He quoted some scripture and I was hooked. He’d been married before and he said his biggest problem was that his wife was not submissive. He said she was stubborn and argumentative. I was 48 when we got married and...

Dear Steve and Shirley,  I'm a 52 year old divorced woman dating a man that is 57 years old.  We have been together almost a year, but, we have fundamental differences that might break us up.  We met at my cousin's 40th birthday party.  He was the DJ so I asked him to play some classic r&b hits because all he was playing was hip hop and we had a lot of older people at the party that weren't in...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m married to a very stubborn man and out of 8 years of marriage, he’s ignored me for most of that time. I’m a charge nurse and I have been really stressed out lately, as you can imagine. I come home to my husband and I expect him to listen to me vent and console me, but instead he has his head in his phone and he tunes me out..................................... See omnys...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’ve been separated for 3 months and I’m getting divorced. My husband and I had a very happy marriage till three months ago. He was a family man and he’s allowed 2 of my younger siblings to live with us in the past. My youngest brother is 28 and he rushed into marriage after he got a woman pregnant. It was obvious that his wife was not the marrying type. She’s 25 and all sh...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’ve been dating a man or we have been messing around, as he says. It’s been almost five years and he’s not the settling down type, so I’ll take it any way I can get it. I have fallen in love with him and he knows it. I think he uses it against me at times. He’s dating other women because I see him posting pictures in the club and he’s hugged up with other females.............

Dear Steve and Shirley, my husband and I got married 2 months ago and I haven’t been getting any sleep. I need your help on how to get my husband to calm down. I married a very religious man and he wanted to be a pastor, but changed his mind about a year ago. Because of that, he already thinks he is one. He insisted that we wait until marriage to have sex, so we did… kind of..........................

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m a 43 year old married woman and my husband and I have 4 children. The teenagers are fine, but I went and had 2 younger children that get on my last nerve. They take so much time and energy that I don’t feel like I have any time for myself. My husband doesn’t help me out at all with the children so I’m a full-time housewife and mother. My husband used to come home during...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m in my late forties and I’m raising three children on my own. I’ve had my fair share of dating horrors and I would love to be married, but the dating pool has pee in it. So, I’ve decided to like the man that likes me, but I’m also doing whatever I need to do on the side, to be sexually satisfied. My boyfriend is a decent lover, but he doesn’t cover all the bases............

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m a 28 year old female and I was dating a man for 3 years and we broke up after Valentine’s Day because he found out I went to dinner with an old male friend. It wasn’t like I was hiding anything, but I didn’t tell him because I didn’t want to ruin our Valentine’s Day. He gave me a diamond necklace and a set of expensive luggage. Later, his sister told me he was going to...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’ve been married for 4 years to the love of my life. When we met, she had just had a handsome baby boy and we bonded over us both being heartbroken. I was engaged to a self-centered woman before I met my wife and 2 weeks before our wedding, she ghosted me. My wife had been dating a man for a long time and when she got pregnant, he ghosted her. We were two damaged friends t...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a successful executive and my job involves a lot of travel. I have been married for 20 years, but for the last 5 years, my wife has had some medical issues and she’s gained a lot of weight. At first, she tried to keep her weight down, but then she just let herself go and she is not happy with herself so she stopped having sex with me. I did a very selfish thing and sta...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a 28 year old woman, dating a 34 year old man. We were together 9 months and waited almost 5 months before we started having sex. He was very kinky and liked to keep it interesting in the bedroom, but it ended up being way too much for me. You’ve answered a letter like this before, but mine is a different because my man is more extreme. My issues   started one night ab...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm an older single man and I’m very nice looking, not your typical old cornball pops type. Dating is hard for me because most women my age have let themselves go and look matronly. I love online dating sites and I have a great time meeting and hooking up with various women. Recently, a 30-year old bombshell sent me a message to say that she was looking for a little financi...

Dear Steve and Shirley, thirteen years ago I became friends with a newly-married, young couple at church. They have two children and they are good God-fearing people with large hearts. The only problem is that they are not book smart and the wife is lacking in the common sense department too. They both speak terribly and their subject and verb agreement is always off. Their spelling is even worse....

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a 50 year old with 3 children and I have been married for 14 years. All of the children are grown and are on their own, so my husband and I have the house to ourselves. I love my alone time with my husband, but his sister is causing big problems in our marriage. His sister gets on my last nerve. She is an unstable mother and she drops her kids off at my house with no w...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I have been married for 20 years and it’s been the longest 20 years ever. Neither of us have been perfect in the marriage, but I got myself together and I was hoping that my dumb ass husband did too. But it seems like there are far too many ways for him to do his dirty deeds now. About three months ago, he sent me a text that was intended for someone else. He wanted to meet...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’ve been married for over half of my life and my husband checked out of the marriage five years ago. He started sleeping on the couch and then eventually moved into the guest room. I’m okay with not having sex because it wasn’t ever that good anyway. I went through periods of being bitter but didn’t do anything drastic because of our children. He told his family that I was...
