Strawberry Letter

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m getting married soon and I do love my fiancé with all my heart, but there are some things that I really do not like about him. I am hope that I’m just overthinking things and I can get over them before our wedding. I’m sure I do a lot of stuff that irritates him and maybe even turns him off, but he has never said anything. My fiancé and I were raised differently, so I h...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m a 42 year old married woman and my 76 year old father-in-law moved in with us after his wife died last year. He was very depressed, so we thought it would help if he came to live us and be surrounded by family. We have two teens, a boy and a girl and they have enjoyed having their grandfather in the house. But there’s just one issue. Now that my father-in-law is a widow...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm a hardworking man. I work from sun up to sun down, and I do well for myself. Two years ago I met a very beautiful woman who I can see myself being with for the rest of my life. About a year into the relationship, we moved into together and started planning for the future. I was recently laid off from my job, and I had to find a new one. She was not working at the time....

Dear Steve and Shirley, my husband and I are in our early 30s and my best friend asked us to house-sit for her and her husband while they were out of the country for a month. They have a very nice beach house, so we jumped at the opportunity. Everything was going great and we loved it there, right until the third week, when a mutual friend of ours called me with some crazy news. The mutual friend...

Dear Steve and Shirley, my boyfriend and I both are 75 years old and we’ve been in a great relationship for about 15 years. When we met, we hit it off right away, but courted for a while before we became intimate. Sex was great and it was the glue that held us together. Then, he had knee replacement surgery and I had my hip replaced, so we had to wait a while before we could resume a normal sex li...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m in my early forties and I have been happily married and faithful to a wonderful man for 9 years. My husband says he likes the fact that I am a wonderful mom and wife and I keep it classy, until I am behind closed doors and I turn into his super freak. The last two years, my sex drive has been in overdrive. My cravings for sex drive me so crazy that I have left work to m...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m the subject from one of your recent letters. I was the wife that found out at a birthday cookout that my husband cheated on me with his best friend’s daughter. That day will stand out in my mind forever. We had only been at the party for only a few minutes when and my husband got a drink thrown in his face. I watched it all go left really quick. I had to drag my husband...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a 30 year old happily married female with a beautiful family. I need our advice on how to handle a little situation with my ex and my sister. Ten years ago, I had sex with a guy and it was like a “friends with benefits” situation because we both were young. He and I have sort of kept in touch over social media, but have not seen each other in years, until recently, whe...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a divorced 59 year old woman and I started dating a 67 year old sexy gentleman in December. Our relationship is great. We have lots of fun together and he keeps me smiling. I followed Uncle Steve’s rules for dating and almost made it to 90 days, but on the 87th day, we decided it was time to get busy. He told me he could not take it any longer and he had to have me. I...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm 29 and my boyfriend has me really confused. He’s three years younger than me and we just started having sex, or at least we try to have sex. The problem is, he gets really nervous and when he’s nervous, you-know-what does not work. I don’t want to get graphic, so I hope you get the picture. So even though he says he's really into me and he wants to please me, he cannot...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m a 31 year old single female in need of your help. Back in August, I ran into one of my dad's best friends at a business seminar out of town. I was at the hotel bar and he sat next to me and we were both shocked, since it’s been over 10 years since we’ve seen each other. We had a great time catching up and when I left the bar, he walked me to my room because I had had qu...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a 27 year old woman and I just moved in with my boyfriend. We’ve been dating for one year and we have a great relationship, but of course there’s an issue, or I wouldn’t be writing you. Our love making is very good, but we are never alone when we are intimate. There’s always four extra eyes very close by, staring at us. It’s his dogs. He has a Doberman and a German She...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a 28 year old woman and I have a male best friend. Well, I had a male best friend that I had been friends with since middle school. In 2016 I had a bad breakup and my best friend came over to console me. We were sitting side by side on my couch and he leaned over and kissed me. It felt so good to be held and kissed so passionately. Well, one thing led to another and I...

Dear Steve and Shirley, my best friend and I have been really close for 17 years but now we are constantly bickering over her twisted ideas of love and marriage. She has always taken an interest in reading books about male and female relationships, but her favorite book is Steve Harvey’s “Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man” and she has twisted each chapter to fit how she chooses to live. In the pas...

Dear Steve and Shirley, for the past 23 years, I’ve been married to the nicest guy in the world and I have always tried to be the perfect wife and mother. In the beginning of our marriage, our sex life was perfect, but over the past 7 years, things have drastically changed. In 2018, we had sex maybe 8 times in the whole year. I counted them. I don’t think he is cheating, because all he does is go...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am writing you because I need your advice on how to talk to my mom. My mother is a very religious church-going woman and I don’t share her love for church. I lie to her every Sunday when she asks if I have been to church. I am a Christian and I believe in God and I thank Him daily for everything that I am blessed with… But, I despise church. I don’t think church is necess...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a 33 year old married woman with a great body, pretty face, long healthy hair and a lot of confidence. I got married four years ago and my husband works hard to make sure I’m well taken care of, in all ways except for one. My hubby does not give me compliments anymore or comment on my hair and nails like he used to, so I have been getting my needs met at work, the gym...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a wife and a mother of two children. I've been married for 11 years to my wonderful husband, but I recently found out he had been cheating on me for a year. I found out when the woman started calling me she told me that she was taking good care of him when he is away from home with her. I confronted him about it and of course he denied it. I pray to the Lord to show me...

Dear Steve and Shirley, please help me handle an issue with my wife. We are in our 30s and have been married 12 years and we have two children. We have a great relationship, but there's just one issue: She cannot cook! Not even a little bit. I'm not saying that it's her job as the woman. I love to throw down in the kitchen when I have time, but I'm currently the only one working. She has insisted...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m a 41 year old divorced woman and to be honest, I’m waiting for my knight in shining armor. I am in no way a picky person, but there are some deal breakers that I will not compromise on when I meet a man. I was in a bad marriage for ten years and I lowered my standards for my ex-husband and I kept a very open mind, until I got to the point where I could not be with him a...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m a 53 year old single woman and I was dating a guy from my past. We reconnected five months ago and he told me that he would not let me get away from him again. He told me that he lived an hour away, so he came to see me on the weekends. I was so happy with him, but I couldn’t help but think that this romance was just too good to be true. My intuition kicked in and I dec...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm a 27 year old woman and I’ve had a few relationship issues because I just can't seem to pick the right man. Maybe it’s because I am in love with my male best friend. He is perfect for me and I’ve known it since we met six years ago. But there’s one problem… He’s had a girlfriend for the last three years. His girlfriend has no idea that she is in my way and she has toler...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m tired of motherhood.  Sorry, but I am no longer interested in being a mother.  I am 28 years old and I have a 5 year old daughter that is disrespectful, obnoxious and constant source of embarrassment in public.  She is out of control on a daily basis.  Beating her behind does not help and I don’t know what else to do.  I have tried many ways of disciplining her.  Revers...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I just broke up with a great woman that I had planned to spend my life with. I got a ring and proposed and we were planning our wedding. We are both under 30 and we’ve been together since we were in college. Everything was perfect until recently, when an argument was blown way out of control and my fiancé tried to fight me. Yes, out of nowhere, she pushed me first and then...
