Strawberry Letter

Dear Steve and Shirley, I got in a bad fist fight with my best buddy because of a woman that he is secretly in love with. I had a house party recently and we all had a lot to drink, so I offered to let a few people stay over. All night, my boy was trying to talk to the finest girl that was there and she was not really receptive to him. He told me that she asked about me, but she’s not my type so I...

Dear Steve and Shirley, my husband and I have been married for 9 wonderful years and we’ve never had any major issues in our marriage. He's great with the kids, he’s a great provider and he’s a hardworking man. The only touchy subject seems to be our sex life or lack thereof. He’s 8 years older…. He’s 48 and I'm 40. He’s been taking medicine that prevents him from becoming aroused and it’s a big p...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a 62 year old married man and I’ve been married for 30 years.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a 27 year old married woman with a two year old son that won’t stop cussing. Recently, whenever he gets frustrated or upset, he starts cussing. If he falls down and hurts himself, he cusses. If I tell him no, he cusses! I assumed he was hearing these cuss words from my husband, because I don’t cuss in front of him, so he is not hearing it from me. My husband swore to m...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a 33-year-old woman and I recently started dating a 25-year-old man. The age difference really didn’t bother me at first but I am starting to notice that he seems to be a little bit inexperienced when it comes to sex. The first time we got together there was a lot of kissing involved so I didn’t quite notice how much noise he makes in bed. I did notice that he was talk...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m a 40 something single female and my boyfriend is 69 years old. When we first started dating, he was my sugar daddy and he paid my mortgage, my car note, and sent me on vacation several times a year. But it wasn’t all of the money or the gifts that got me so hooked on him… it was the sex. This man is the best I’ve ever had and he does not need any enhancements to get aro...

Dear Steve and Shirley, this isn’t a typical letter about cheating. I am in my mid 30s and I’ve been single for too long. I’m a nurse and I meet a lot of great men at work, but I'm not having any luck in love. When I meet a guy, I’m optimistic and not expecting him to play games just to have sex with me. I’m the type to text right back, return calls and show up early for a date. My girlfriends say...

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...

She is 24 years old and she got engaged recently and she brought her fiancé to town to meet my husband and I. As soon as they got out of the pickup truck, I thought WTH is this?

Dear Steve and Shirley. My wife had a friend that she was friends with for many years and she stopped being her friend because a non-credible person told my wife that her friend was talking about her.

I learned quickly to take my wife’s side and I even added...
