Strawberry Letter

Dear Steve and Shirley, my friend called me one night saying her house got shot up and she was coming to my house with her kids. I didn’t question her or ask her how long she was planning to stay, I just told her to come over with her 3 kids. My son and I have a two-bedroom apartment so we moved some things around so my friend could have some space. Three days later, my friend asked if her baby’s...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a 29 year old man and I have been married for 7 years. My wife and I have two young children. I have cheated several times, but each time, it was just for a quick thrill. I started hanging out with a co-worker in February of 2019 and this was more than a quick thrill. I started developing real feelings for her shortly after we met and I realized that she was the woman...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’ve been married 22 years and we have three children. My husband and I have a great marriage and he still takes me out on dates weekly. My husband and I are prominent business owners in our community. So, whenever we go out in public, I have a problem with women approaching my husband. My husband hugs the women, chats with them and has even welcomed one woman to join us at...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I have been married for 13 years and 6 years ago my husband cheated on me and had a child by the lady he had an affair with. I had a hard time getting past this, but I did. We went to counseling and now I have a sweet stepdaughter to spoil. That happiness lasted a short period of time, because three years later, my husband cheated again.................

Dear Steve and Shirley, I have been married for 17 years to a man who I thought was trustworthy, honest and a good Christian man. We are both in our 40s and been together for 25 years total. For the last 4 years, he has been friends with a basic girl that he met at work. I call her basic because that’s what she is. I always have expressed how displeased I am with their friendship, but he insisted...

Dear Steve and Shirley, My fiancé and I have been together for six years. We like to have fun in the bedroom, which often includes a third person joining us. And yes it is always another woman. Before my fiancé met me, he had never had a threesome but I had. Now he can't get enough of them and I enjoy them even more than he does from day one. I have set all the rules for the threesomes my main 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'm a 29 year old man and three months ago, I started dating a gorgeous woman in her mid-twenties. She has the best body, smooth and glowy chocolate skin, the sexiest voice and she is the best that I ever had, if you know what I mean. She's very affectionate and she treats me well, but she's missing one important thing... a brain.................. Learn more about your ad-c...

Dear Steve and Shirley I am a 47 year old female in my third marriage. My husband and I have been married for five years and he treats me like a queen, but I feel like he hates my 17 year old daughter. This is his first marriage and he has no children. So it's shocking that he acts like a drill sergeant with my daughter. He calls her lazy and fuzzes that are constantly about her chores. He expects...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I attend a prominent mega church and I’m very active in my church. The church threw a back-to-school bash for the children at the church and we had a pool party in our indoor pool. I volunteered to help around the pool and watch the smaller kids. Shirley, I have been losing weight for the last year and I wanted to show off my body in my swimsuit, but with a nice coverup on...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm a 41 year old married man. My wife and I have been married for 19 years. We've also been living with her parents for the entire 19 years. It's not a financial thing. We are good on that front. Her parents are also financially stable and healthy. When I met my wife she was living with her parents. She told me once we got married we had to live with her parents but it wou...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I really need your help and advice with an embarrassing problem. I’m a 28 year old, healthy black male and I am single. Since I was 14 years old, I have been having frequent erections. I have been to several urologists and a specialist and each doctor told me that I’m completely normal. I have talked to my male friends and older men and they all say that it does not sound n...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm newly married and my husband told me that he was a freak when we started dating. He is loving and supportive, a hard-working family man and a great father, but he is constantly stressing me out over sex. He's an awesome lover but I can’t seem to keep up with his sex drive lately. I guess I’m in an open marriage because I’m sure he’s having sex outside of our marriage. I...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am in my mid 30s and I’m 5’1” and I weigh 128lbs. I am dating a personal trainer and he weighs 170lbs. He used to weigh 350lbs and he worked hard to lose the weight and keep it off. He is looking sooo good these days, but we have a big problem… Our eating habits are totally different now. I’m a country girl, so my meals are pretty hefty and full of flavor. They aren’t bad...

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, do you think that dating rules for seniors are different than those for younger people? I need to know cause I am trying to find love again and I’m over age 60. I'd like to think that a man aged 65 to 70 would think and act differently than he did when he was 25 to 30 years old, but that's not the case. When I meet men my age, they are still interested in the cookie and I n...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a 28 year old female and I have a 57 year old male mentor that I work with. He has given me great advice and helped me through some obstacles in my life. This is the first man that has ever treated me with respect and did not try to sleep with me. He is like a father figure to me and I call myself his play daughter. The only problem is his wife. He knew that I did not...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I prayed and asked God to send me a great man. It took ten long years but my prayers were answered and I got an amazing man. We're getting married this month but there's just one problem. I was taught that you should watch how a man loves and treats his mother because it will show you what kind of man he is. Well, I recently learned that my fiance does not respect his mothe...
