We got it for you here. It is Crawberry Letter.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
Thank you. A few subjects he compliments other women. Dear
Stephen Shirley, I've been married to the sweetest man for
almost thirty years. Two months ago, he told me it
was time for me to retire so we can start
traveling before we get too much older. I put in
my notice at work and they gave me a retirement

(00:45):
party as a gift. My husband booked a cruise. We
just got back last week, but it was not a
good trip. I couldn't enjoy myself because the boat was
full of young, beautiful women. They were part of a
travel club and it was their annual retreat. There had
to be at least forty women in a group, and
they walked around half naked. My husband was all in

(01:09):
their faces, trying to go eat when they ate, and
drinking more than he usually drinks to impress them. I
was just sitting there like a bump on a log
while he flirted and did a bunch of fake laughing.
He even tried to learn line dances and almost framed
his ankle. Every day he would sit there and comment
on big butts, flat butts, nice wigs and bad wigs,

(01:30):
beautiful skin and nice feet. He told the women they
were beautiful right in front of me. I didn't want
to be arguing on the trip, so I let it slide.
But when he got overly excited about the woman from
Venezuela that that really irritated me. He was trying his
best to speak Spanish and it was just too much
for me to take. So I told him to knock

(01:53):
it off or I was going to stay in the
room for the rest of the trip. The women were nice,
but I'm sure it was grossing them out a little.
I hope he didn't act like that back when he
was traveling a lot for his job. I'm not insecure,
but there's only so much I can take. Is it
best to overlook his behavior and be glad that he
feels comfortable enough to talk to me about anything. I mean,

(02:17):
you know the fact that he can talk to you
about anything. Okay, But come on, you know this isn't right.
Your husband was doing way too much, I mean, just
too much. He was acting like a single man or
a married man who had left his wife at home.
Every man, at least every smart man, knows not to flirt,
not to compliment or even look at other women in

(02:38):
front of his wife. I mean, that's disrespectful, and you
don't want that smoke from your wife. Your husband was
very disrespectful. He made you look bad, I'm sure, in
front of these young women and all of the people
on the boat. Really, and how could he possibly think
this was okay? That's what I'm wondering here, because it
was very stupid. You have to say how you feel though.

(03:00):
You just can't sit there like a bump on a log.
You said, you have to let him know right then
and there that it is not okay. So please have
a serious talk with him and let him know. Don't
embarrass you like that again next time. You just can't
sit there.

Speaker 3 (03:15):
See.

Speaker 4 (03:16):
Well, well, well, the subject is he compliments other women.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
The title of this letter should be.

Speaker 4 (03:25):
Ain't no fool like an old food? You know, man,
I know what happened to him. I'm gonna tell you
exactly what happened. You know, This is how these letters
always start. I've been married to the sweetest man, sweetest
for almost thirty years, and in this letter you didn't.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
Know just how sweet he was.

Speaker 4 (03:52):
Oh two months ago, I told you it was time
to retire, so y'all can start traveling before we get
too much old. Put him a notice of work. They
had a retirement party. Your husband has a gift. He
booked a cruise for you. I'm mad. We just got
back last week. But it was a horrible trip. I

(04:13):
couldn't enjoy myself because the boat was full of young,
beautiful women. Had a travel club and this was their
annual retreat. All right, here we go. Here's the problem.
They had to be at least farty women in the group,
and they walking around half naked.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
Lord he mercy, goddamn.

Speaker 4 (04:34):
My husband was all in their face. Ain't no fool
like an old food? Trying to go eat when they
hate drinking more than he usually drank. To impress him,
I was just sitting there like a bump on the log.
He flirted and did a whole bunch of fake.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
That's what I wanted to get.

Speaker 4 (04:53):
Yeah, whoa say what? I know that?

Speaker 2 (05:01):
Right? Oh God, right over there. Huh huh.

Speaker 4 (05:12):
He said, you you funny like this all time? Girl?

Speaker 2 (05:23):
You crazy boy? I bet you.

Speaker 4 (05:26):
Huh say say it again? God? Yeah, I like pasta.
Guy like pasta all the time. He even tried to

(05:48):
learn lying dances, almost spraying his ankle every day when
he sit there and coming on big butch, flat butts,
nice wigs, bag wigs. Beautiful. See that was to throw
you off. Look at you, wied coming over here, sitting
all the hold on her head like that with that
part just as tall in the middle of her head. Yeah,
he wasn't looking at the wig though. It was what
was under the wig. The bad wig was to throw

(06:10):
you off. And then he was telling women how beautifully
was in front of me. Now, this is the part
we're gonna touch on when we come back. I didn't
want to be arguing on trips. I led it way,
But when he got overly excited about the women from Venezuela,
that irritated me because he was trying his best to

(06:32):
speak Spanish when we come back. This is what this
whole letter is about.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
That's what I wanted to get through. Yeah, all right,
all right, we'll have part two of your response coming up.

Speaker 2 (06:42):

It's called he compliments other women.

Speaker 4 (07:34):
When the title of this letter should be ain't no
fool like an old food Now. She said in the
letter that she's married to the sweetest man for almost
thirty years. She didn't know how sweet he was till
we got through this letter. He real sweet. He's sweet
as he wanted to be. He's sweet to everybody. That's
what you didn't know. And they threw it. He said,

(07:54):
he told us she ought to retire. She said, yeah,
put in a notice. They threw a retirement party for
and her gift to her for as the retirement party
booked him on the cruise. They went on the cruise
and it was horrible. It was horrible because it had funny,
beautiful young women on the trip. They were in the
travel club and it was an annual retreat and they
walked around half naked all day. Old fool was all

(08:19):
up in their faces trying to go eat when they eat.
What was his name, see drink horse, old ass horse
over there talking to Nika and all this here, you know,
you know, and now the women in the group that

short for horse. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's good.

Speaker 2 (08:50):

while he floated flood, while he flirted and even tried to.

Speaker 2 (08:58):

Every day he'd sit there, comment on big butt's flat button,
nice wigs, everything, beautiful skin, nice feet, told the women
that was beautiful right in front of me, and I
ain't want to be ugue, so I let it slide.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
But here's the part where the whole trip changed.

Speaker 4 (09:14):
But when he got overly excited about the women from Venezuela,
that really irritated me.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
And let me tell you something.

Speaker 4 (09:23):
I know exactly where it's coming from because when I
was hosting Miss Universe one year, Miss Venezuela was in
the finals, and I kid you not, one of the
most beautiful women I've ever seen in my life was
from Venezuela.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
He started, oh hell yeah.

Speaker 4 (09:43):
He tried his best to speak Spanish and it was
too much for me to take.
