Our Chief Love Officer, Steve Harvey has advice for...
- Ayanna in Philly – My daughter is 5 years old and I haven’t had a job since she was born. Her father told me that he wants to date other people. If we break up and he moves out, I will have to get a job to make ends meet. Do I try to hold my little family together by letting him date other women or should I get a job and leave him?
- Trent in Saginaw – I helped my female co-worker get the air fixed in her car. She told me it was expensive but she didn’t ask for my help. She went to my technician and I paid for half of it. Her sorry boyfriend told me I was foul for what I did. Was I wrong to help?
- Dorothy in Metairie – My best friend passed away in 2022 and her husband got remarried in January. It’s unsettling to see the new wife wearing my friend’s old hats to church and driving around in her old car. I don’t like it. Should I talk to the husband about this?
- Chester in New Rochelle – My neighbor swerved to avoid a trash can and he ended up hitting my fence. He said he’s not paying to fix my fence because my trash can should not have been in the street. Is it best to take him to small claims court or beat his a$$?

him he filed. He filed for making you look bad.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Yeah, okay, that far all right for sure? Okay, all right, Trent,
all right. Moving on to Dorothy in Metterie. Dorothy says,
my best friend passed away in twenty twenty two and
her husband got remarried in January. It's unsettling to see
the new wife wearing my friend's old hats to church
(03:07):
and driving around in her old car. I don't like it.
Should I talk to the husband about this?
Speaker 4 (03:13):
It ain't your business. Them ain't your hats. That ain't
your car. It wasn't your car or your hat when

dead people's hat.

not putting old sister Patterson's hat. Now here's the other thing.

hat to church?
