Strawberry Letter

Dear Steve and Shirley, my very best friend is a garden tool and a proud homewrecker. She intentionally ruined a marriage because she got jealous when her son's father moved on and fell in love with another woman. I'm disgusted because she is so proud that she’s meddling in their marriage. This man had been married for over 14 years and in that 14 years, she has had sex with him on numerous occasi...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm a 32 year old woman and I'm falling for a 43 y/o man. We met online and bonded because we were both very lonely for the last 10 months in quarantine. I work full time at a school and he is a screenwriter, waiting for one of his movies to get greenlit by a big producer. He said if that happens, he will be set for life. We decided to meet up and I asked him to meet me hal...

Dear Steve and Shirley, the problems with my boyfriend all began when he started a new job. We had been together 2 years and we were doing just fine and then he started guarding his phone like a hawk and turning it over when he put it down. My intuition kicked in and I checked it one day when he fell asleep. One of his female co-workers sent him pictures of her vacation, personal selfies and body...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m a middle age married woman and I’ve been married for over a decade. I work 2 full time jobs averaging 16-18 hours a day, usually 6 days a week. My husband has his own business and rarely works a 10 hour day and has consistent days and weeks off. During his down-time he finds the time and energy to help friends outside of our home but can’t seem to find the time to help...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a 36 year old man, married to the love of my life, with four children. Around 8 years ago I left home, moved about four hours away and that’s when I met my wife and we started a family. We were from neighboring cities and knew a few of the same people, so that’s how we clicked. She grew up in a close-knit family with lots of cousins so there’s no way I could ever meet...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm a 27 year old man and my best friend is causing issues at my job. I recently got him a job with me after he was fired from his last job because of Covid-19. It was going really good until my co-workers began asking me if something is wrong with him, because he disappears a lot during his work shift. I kept an eye out for him and noticed that two times during a shift I c...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I met a great guy on a dating website and we ended up getting really close and after a few months of dating, we got a place together. Four months later, I found out he is very happily married and he’s having a baby, but not by his wife. After he came clean about everything, I jumped on him and he did not lay a finger on me because he knew he was wrong. He stayed in the rela...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m a 29 year old divorced woman, dating a 29 year old man that I’ve been friends with for years. I have two children from my marriage, so I sleep over at his house for now. I have a key to his house but we agreed that I’d call before I came over. I went over unannounced on New Year’s Eve, to drop off the champagne and fruit tray for the night. I pulled up and my cousin was...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’ve been with my husband for 6 years and we’ve been married for 2 years. I have myself to blame for what I’m going through now, because it was an issue before we got married. My husband has a problem with texting and talking to other females. When I’ve addressed the issue with him, he always says “Nothing is wrong with texting and talking, as long as I’m not crossing the l...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m a 28 year old engaged female and my wedding was put on hold because of the pandemic. My fiancé and I are living together for the first time because he thought it would be fun to be quarantined together. I’m very grateful that he moved in because I’m learning a lot about him and it’s quite shocking. He is smart, a great provider and he’s got a great personality, but he i...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a 31 year old single woman and I met the man of my dreams two years ago on a dating website. He lives in Tampa and I live in Philadelphia. A few months after we met online, he came to visit me. I immediately noticed that he lied about his height. He's short. He is an inch or two shorter than me and I like tall men. I had hoped he looked a little bit better than his pic...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’ve known my husband since I was in high school and we’ve been in an off-and-on relationship for 31 years. Years ago, my husband made bad choices and he was sentenced to 8 years in prison for selling marijuana. I stood by him the entire time he was incarcerated because I knew he was my soulmate. When he got out of prison, he kept his promise to be with me forever and we ha...

Dear Steve and Shirley, My husband and I are now 50 years old. We have five grown sons and four grandchildren. Ten years ago my husband had a fling at work and the female was barely 20 years old. At the time, I was devastated but he swore nothing physical happened the whole situation didn't sit well with me. So one day last week I checked my husband's old phone for any proof I could find. I found...

Dear Steve and Shirley, My husband and I are in our late 30s and we’ve been together for almost 20 years. We have 4 children and we always had a robust sex life until 2 years ago when everything changed. My husband gradually lost interest in sex and whenever we’d try, he would stop in the middle of it and tell me he was tired. I had no idea what was wrong with him and I started to think that he wa...

Dear Steve and Shirley, my husband went out of town for military duty and he wasn’t even gone a month before I found out that he was seeing another woman before he left. I was humiliated cause everybody knew about it, except me. He denied it for months and eventually he decided to come clean, after the woman was done with him. He assured me that things were over with them but my trust was broken a...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm in a new relationship and about two months ago, we started our sexual adventures. He is an amazing man in and out of bed. I am 28 years old and he's 10 years older than I am. I love our relationship but I have one major issue. He likes to pull my hair. To be more specific, he likes to pull my weave while we're being intimate. A couple of nights ago, he pulled my hair so...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’ve been dating a guy for six months and he’s one of the sweetest men that I have ever met. This weekend, he disclosed some information to me and I need your opinion. He and I met when I moved out of my condo. He was the supervisor of the moving company that I used and he was very professional and handsome, so when he asked me out, I accepted. We started out as friends and...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I've been dating the 6’4 tall drink of water for a few months. He is honest generous humorous and fun to be around. We decided it was time to take the next step in our relationship since we have been flirting and making suggestive comments to each other for weeks. So we did the deed if you get my drift and let me tell you, you cannot judge a book by its cover. With all of h...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a 36yr old female in a long-distance relationship with a man in his early 40s. Things are good between us, and honestly, I am ready to take things to the next level. I only have one problem and I’m hesitant to move to his hometown if he can’t fix the problem. We have been in a committed relationship for 2 years and when we are intimate, he is very gentle and loving in...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a 29 year old female in a confusing dating situation. We’ve been dating for almost 2 years but I waited for 4 months before we had sex, to make sure his last relationship was totally over. He has 3 kids by three different women, but the youngest child’s mother has been a problem in our relationship. My boyfriend lived with her when we met, but now he lives inside his R...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I have been worrying about my marriage and how my past actions may threaten it. A few months ago, my friends and I went on a guy’s trip. We always go on trips together and the wives get together and take trips too. While I was on the trip, I ate good and drank a lot. We went clubbing and since I love to dance, I was salsa dancing with the ladies and may have been a little 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’m married to a wonderful man that is 13 years older than I am. He is my everything and in the beginning of our marriage, we were very active and traveled a lot. Now it’s like he’s settled into being old and boring and I can barely get him to take a walk with me. I asked him if he was depressed and advised him to see a doctor. He went to the doctor and got a clean bill of...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’ve been kicked out of my church and I need some advice. I attended a very messy church and if you did not do things the way the pastor thought you should, he would call you out. I have had a few run-ins with him over stuff I post on my personal Facebook page. I told him that I can post what I want on my page and it has nothing to do with him or the church. I’m sure the re...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm a 27 year old female and my man is slightly younger than I am. He's an underwear model for several online magazines and that’s why I fell for him… he has a really great body. His modeling has been an issue in our relationship because of all of the raunchy comments he gets on social media. He loves the attention. He says it’s all just for fun and he never responds to the...
