it is Strawberry Letter. Thank you nephew. Subject he booked
an all inclusive vacation. Dear Stephen Shirley, my boyfriend and
I had a bad breakup four months ago. I was
planning a graduation party for him and he said he
was planning to go on a trip with his best
(00:42):
friend and his cousins. I got in my feelings and
I started a big argument and he broke up with me.
He didn't call me to try to fix it, and
neither did I. I'm very stubborn, and it backfired on
me since I started. Since I started it, I should
have been the first one to apologize. My boyfriend got
his master's degree and I attended his graduation and then
(01:05):
went to dinner with him and his family because his
mother invited me. He barely talked to me, and it
was embarrassing. I asked about the trip they planned on,
and his cousin looked like he didn't know what I
was talking about. So I asked his sister about the
trip and she told me where he was staying. I
called the resort and I told a girl on the
(01:26):
phone that I was his wife. I found out he's
staying at an all inclusive resort with a balcony suite
with an ocean view. The lady at the resort was
talking to me as if I was coming with him.
She asked me to confirm that we wanted the massage
and dinner in our room when we arrived. I canceled
that dinner and the massage. There is no way I'm
(01:48):
letting him go on this trip with another woman. We
fight like this all the time, but he has never
been this mad. I wanted more details about the trip,
but the lady on the phone would not tell me
anything else. I have tried talking to my man, and
he said that he needs this getaway to clear his
head and we'll talk when he gets back. His sister
said she's sure he's not taking another woman. What do
(02:11):
you think should I pop up on him at this
all inclusive resort or wait until he gets back? Uh?
I want to apologize to all the men that's about
to hear Sherley's response, Go here, Shelly, you know what
(02:31):
what you are going to? Stop? I'm sorry, stop it, Steve. Stop. Okay,
all right, girl, All right, I'm talking to the lady
that wrote the letter right now, talking to all women.
I'm talking to the lady who wrote the letter. Thank you.
Your your turn is coming. Thank you? All right, girl? Stop? Okay,
(02:53):
you gotta face it since it is over. You just
haven't realized it yet. He had already planned his own
graduation getaway without you, which means he never was planning
on taking you in the first place. The breakup, it's
not your fault because you started the argument. That's what
you think, and that's what you said in the letter.
The breakup was already coming. You just made it easier
(03:15):
for him to do it. You gotta look at these
signs for yourself. Okay. It started with him booking the
trip without you, then the argument, then the breakup, then
you know you coming to the dinner but you were
invited not by him but by his mother. Okay. He
didn't even talk to you at the graduation dinner, so
please no, do not pop up on him at this
(03:38):
all inclusive vacation. You gotta stop this, okay, just get you.
Don't wait until he gets back. None of that. That's
not going to happen again. It is over. There are
so many signs and clues in this letter that it's over,
but you keep ignoring them. He is not coming back
to you, Okay, and you have to get this in
(03:59):
your head so you can move on with your life. Period.
It's over. Hasted, Steve, Wow, I want to Shirley. You
actually surprised me with your answer. Girl. I thought you
was gonna be down and I'm popping up at the
resort and everything. Okay, give your answer and just worry
(04:23):
about well. Well, well it's oh, it's all over. It's ollover.
Oh baby, it's all over. My boyfriend and I had
a bad breakup four months ago. Full months ago, y'all
(04:45):
still ain't together. I was playing in a graduation party
for him and he was planning to go on a
trip with his best friend and his cousin. I got
in my feelings what you should and I started a
big argument and he broke up with me. Bam, right there.
That's to keep the the letter. He was waiting on
the exact moment to break up with you and break
(05:07):
the news to you that it was over, and you
accelerated it by starting a big argument, and he went,
damn higg on my Outright here, she has solved the
problem for me, and he broke up with me. He
ain't trying to call me to fix it, and neither
did I. Well, then it looks like it's all amicable.
(05:30):
This looks consensual. This looks like the perfect storm. He
didn't call it try to fix it, and neither did I.
Then you said I'm very stubborn, and it backfired on me.
Nor didn't. If that fell right into his lap, You
arguing with him and not trying to fix it was
(05:51):
for him a gift from God. Since I started it,
I should have been the first one to apologize. Man,
too late for them. My boyfriend got his master's degree
and I attended his graduation, and then you went to
dinner with him and his family because his mother invited me.
He didn't invite you, as Shirley, So bravely pointed out,
he didn't ask you to come over. Y'all ain't been talking.
(06:13):
You didn't try to fix it in either of that eye.
He barely talked to me, and it was embarrassing. How
you doing? And you are? Let me introduce you to
my family. This isn't my mama, this is my cup.
Who are you again? Well, hold on, bab I'll tell
(06:34):
you the rest of it. Yeah, just saying unworried, you
can stop. Thank you. We're gonna have part two of
Steve's response coming up at twenty three minutes after the hour.
The subject of today's Strawberry Letter, he booked an all
inclusive vacation. We'll get back into it right after this.
You're listening show, all right, Come on, Steve, let's recap
(06:56):
today's Strawberry letter. He booked an all inclusive vacation. Yeah,
he booked an all inclusive vacation after he's graduating with
his masters. And he planned a trip to an all
inclusive resort. And you wanted to throw a party for him,
and he didn't want the party. And he told you
was going on trip with his best friend and his cousin.
Y'all got in a big argument. Y'all fell out about it.
(07:17):
He didn't call you to try to fix it, and
you neither did you. You saying it was cause you
were stubbing it backfired me and you should have called
and apologize since you started it. But my boyfriend got
his master's degree. I attended his graduation, went to dinner
with him and his family because his mother invited me. See,
(07:37):
this boy got his masters. He went and got his
masters and his great education to better his future. He
don't see you in it, and he was trying to
find a way to break up with you earlier. But
as men, we don't know how to break up. We
don't do closure. And then you gave him the gift
(07:58):
of a lifetime. You started a big argument and he
broke up with you right there. He didn't try to
fix it, and neither of that out. He didn't even
need to cool. I was trying to find out a
way out, and she gave it to me. My boyfriend
got his master to be all in um. Now you
got to dinner and he barely talked to you. It
was in bassing. I'll tell you how that dinner with Hello,
(08:18):
how are you and you are? Oh? Hell? You welcome
to the dinner. This is my mama, this is my sister,
then my cous Then you got nosy. He told you
he was going on this trip with his best friend
and his cousin, but because he young, he didn't tell
his cousin. So you at the dinner, you asked his
cousin about the trip. Your cousin looked like he didn't
(08:40):
know whether way I was talking about. So then you
went to his sister about the trip, and she told
me where he was staying. Why she do that as
sisters always because she kind of like you, but not
really over her brother. Then you call the result. You
told a girl on the phone, I was his wife.
Why did you lie? Why did you lie? Because you
(09:04):
were snoopy? And what happens when you snoop? You find stuff? Well,
I found out he was staying at an all inclusive
resort with a balcony Sweet with an Ocean view, Sweet
with an Ocean View. The lady after resort was talking
to me as if I was coming with him. Well,
you told him he was his wife, so she asked
(09:26):
me to confirm that we wanted the massage and dinner
in our room. When we arrived, I canceled that dinner
ani massage. Okay, there's no way I'm letting him go
on this trip with another woman. Really, And how you're
gonna stop it? Tell me how you gonna stop it?
We fight like this all the time. Well, and he
didn't get tired of it. But he has never been
(09:48):
this man. Well, that's cause he'd been looking for out
since y'all fight like that all the time. And he
found it out. And her name is her? Her name
ain't as dinner in the room with a massage. I
wanted more details about the trip, but the later on
the phone would not tell me anything else. And the
(10:09):
reason she didn't because she found out she was lying.
Because you sounded surprised. I tell you exactly how I went.
Excuse me, or will you be having the dinner in
the massage still in the room, the dinner and the
massage in the room. Oh no, he ain't. He ain't
(10:29):
getting no more dinners and no massage. You can counsel that.
What else they do? I'm sorry, I'm not in liberty
speak about anything else because she just found out you
wasn't the white I have been talking to this man.
I have tried talking to my man, and he says
he needs this getaway to clear his head. He needs
(10:52):
to get away to clear his head in his life
of you and will talk when he gets back. He
gonna go find out how real this other chick is,
her sister said. His sister said, she's sure he's not
taking another woman because now she realized she messed up
by telling you where he's staying. But now she tried
to back up and protect her brother, who goes to
(11:15):
an all inclusive resort by hisself. I don't know except
my sons when on the hunt, I'm sorry out there.
What do you think should I pop up on him
at this all inclusive resort? Or wait until he gets back.
Don't go to the resort for what? Don't do that.
(11:38):
Don't go to the resort. You're gonna humiliate yourself even further.
You ain't got no key to the room, none of that.
Stop that. And you might as well wait till he
get back, because but like Shirley said, when you wait
till he get back, wait till he get back so
he can tell you what you already know. It's oh, lover,
(12:00):
it's all over over. You might as well go get
a new man, because he'd got a new girl. You're
not in his future. He got that master's degree, he
didn't get that degree with you. He didn't invite you
to the dinner. He didn't try to fix it, and
(12:21):
you didn't try to fix it. Y'all ager like this
all the time. Ain't nobody signing up for that? You
are like that, y'all ain't even married. This man had
made a decision. You are not the one You are
not the one man, period. Now. Shirley told you that.
And I was stunned because I was sure Shirley was
(12:42):
gonna tell you, girl, you go down at that all
inclusive results and be sitting there in the lobby waiting
on his ass. No, you don't know me at all,
and split your ties and bust your windows. That's what calling.
