You never know these letters.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
All right, ladies, Jim's time for the Strawberry Letter with
my good friend Shirley Strawberry.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
All right, thank you, Junior in for Tommy subject. He
left the restaurant with his wife. Okay, dear Stephen, Shirley.
I was dating mister Wright for almost one year, and
we got a condo together and looked at rings together.
He's a physician and his practice is about an hour
from where our condo is. We dated publicly and I

(00:53):
met all his friends and his sister. He never gave
me any reason to suspect that he was married. He
is an avid golfer in his spare time, and he
usually stays at the resort where he golfs on the weekend. Again,
I had no idea that he was married, since he
spends most nights with me and a few nights in
the city where his medical practice is. Two weeks ago,

(01:17):
he decided we'd go to the wharf and have a
nice dinner with another couple. I got excited because I
thought he might be ready to propose. We'd never been
to this restaurant before. But when we got there, all
the waiters and staff there greeted him and called him
by name. We sat in a private room, and my
stomach was in notts the whole time because I thought

(01:39):
tonight was the night. As we got to dessert and
had had a few cocktails, the door opened and a
woman walked in wearing sweats and a bonnet. She said
thanks to the waiter, and she walked toward us. She
came to our table and asked my man to get

(02:00):
up and come with her. My man smiled at me
and squeezed my hand under the table. Before he got up,
he asked the other guy to handle the check and
make sure I got home safely. I jumped up and
asked what was going on. The woman advised me to
sit back down and enjoy the rest of my evening.

(02:20):
My man didn't even look my way, I sat down
and the woman at the table told me that that
was Jim's wife. Well, Jim and I have created a
life together and he hasn't reached out to me in
almost two weeks. What do I do now? Okay, I
think you already know the answer to this. You don't

(02:40):
have many choices here, you really don't. But the one
thing you have to do is pick up the pieces
and try to get your life back on track. You've
got to move on, you have to. I mean, this
man is married, plain and simple. His friends know it, obviously,
the waiters at the restaurant knows it. He knows it,
but he just didn't tell you. You were the only

(03:02):
one in the dark. And for almost a year he
was able to keep this going. How did you guys
get a condo together without you knowing this? You looked
at rings. He didn't buy your ring, but you looked
at rings together. You know, obviously he has money, he's
a doctor. So what he's doing is staying with you.
And you know, some of those nights when he stays

(03:24):
with you, but the other nights he's with his wife. Obviously,
I guess they're still together, because she certainly thought they did.
They were all the waiters knew her as well. So
what do you do now? Like I said, pick up
those pieces, start to move on with your life. This
man has not reached out to you in almost two weeks.
The last thing you heard from him is when he

(03:44):
squeezed your hand under the table and told his friend
to make sure you got home safely. Well, his friend
did that. It's no use in trying to chase after
this guy. It really isn't. He's got a wife. You
don't need all that you need to figure out a
The situation with this condo is his name on it,
is your name on it? Can you stay there? Can

(04:05):
you sell it and get something else? That's what you
need to be concentrating on right now, Steve.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
All right, Lord, Lord Lord, dismain right here now, y'all.
What I'm about to share what y'all is. I know
exactly what happened in listening, Okay, I know all the inside.
I know what he said, I know he said how
he said it up. I play golf, I know I

(04:33):
know how he designed this whole thing. What I'm going
to reveal to you, I ain't gonna do it right now.
When we come back I just want to set y'all
up now. I want to apologize to the man that's listening.
Oh okay, why because I'm going to expose the intricacies

(04:55):
of how this is all set up.

Speaker 3 (04:58):
Turn my michael us. This is a set up, and
I know every move in here.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
Now, See, Shelly, you don't understand, no, see you thinking
he's a liar and a cheater, but you don't know
how the setup has happened because in his mind, his
friend's mind, and her mind, all this is going down
based on the setup.

Speaker 3 (05:30):
See, it's the setup you keep from getting.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
Remember now, when we get to the park where they
were in a private room at a restaurant where they
knew his name, there's a reason for that. And the
reason his friends were there with other women is because
they know.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
Because they're all liars and cheaters.

Speaker 3 (05:54):
You don't know, you don't know. Why did the woman
so calm?

Speaker 2 (06:00):
Let me say to her, that's Jim's wife. Because the
women are in on it too.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
Right, I get that, but the lying.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
No, No, they're in on the setup. See you y'all
keep looking at this too. Damn basic. It's more complicated
than that, is it?

Speaker 1 (06:22):
Really?

Speaker 3 (06:24):
You do it? Shirley. Okay, you don't know the game. Okay,
but when we come back, I know a liar. I'm
gonna tell it to you. Now just hold on.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
We'll have to your response coming up, and.

Speaker 3 (06:40):
You're my response.

Speaker 1 (06:45):

We'll get back into it right after this. You're listening

let's recap today's Strawberry letter. The subject he left the

(07:29):
restaurant with his wife.

Speaker 3 (07:31):
He left a restaurant with his wife? Yeah? Who else
he posted toly restaurant with We read this letter. He
didn't go in with his wife. Now up and let
me tell you why.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
Dear Steven Shirley, I was dating mister Wright for almost
a year. We got a condo together and look for
rings together. The reason you got a condo together is
the following line.

Speaker 3 (07:55):
He's a physician and.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
His practice is about an hour from where our condo is.
So now his practice is also in the same area
that his wife and family lives in. He got the
condo because he's telling you it's an hour away from

(08:22):
his practice, which you've never been to, by the way,
which may not really be an hour away. See you've
never been there. Now, he's a physician. He's practiced about
an hour away from where our condo is. We dated
publicly and I met all of his friends and sisters.

Speaker 3 (08:44):
The reason you dated publicly is because.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
He has told his friends and his family that he
and his wife are having difficulties. They are struggling, and
he taught him that that's why his friends and sisters has.

Speaker 3 (09:04):
Been looped in. He never gave me any reason to
suspect that he was married. No, he didn't tell you
he was.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
Married because he was planning on it all going away eventually.
He is an avid golfer in his spare time, and
he usually stays at the resort where he golfs.

Speaker 3 (09:26):
On the weekend. What boy, let me tell you something.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
First of all, you get a golf membership within the
city confines of where you stayed. So if you're a
doctor within the city confines of where you say, you
can get to your practice and you can get to
your love of golf by just driving from your house.
Don't nobody stay at the damn golf resort while they
play golf. No, And once again, you've never been to

(09:55):
the golf resort because he focuses on his game, because
he's an avid golfer.

Speaker 3 (10:00):
He is not at the golf course spending the night.
He is at home.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
With the wife that he's having trouble with. So now
again I had no idea. Again, I had no idea
that he was married. Since he spends most nights with me.
He spends the night with you because he told his
wife that he gets calls in the middle of the

(10:28):
night and he'd rather be closer to the hospital than
to be at home. And since they have in trouble,
they're okay with that. She knows about another place. She
just don't know you in it. See y'all, listen, to
my setup ladies. Two weeks ago, we decided to go
to the wharf, the wharf and have a nice dinner
with another couple, another couple, just one. I got excited

(10:53):
because I thought he might be ready to propose. We
never been to this restaurant before, but when we got there,
all the way's staff there greeted him and called him
by name. You know, doctors got stuff like that, you know,
famous people. We sat in a private room and my
stomach was in notes the whole time. Yeah, because you
ain't know what hell in heaven. Your stomach was in
notes cause what you thought was gonna happen. Your and

(11:17):
your stomach were really a nas in a minute though,
because I thought the night was a night. As we
got dessert and had had a few cocktails, the door
opened and a woman walked in wearing sweats and a bonnet.
She said thanks to the waiter, and she walked towards us.

Speaker 3 (11:37):
She came to our table.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
Now you're in a private room, now, ole, I was
no private rooms.

Speaker 3 (11:50):
All this is exciting for you.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
She came town table and asked my man to get
up and come with her. My man smiled at me, squeez,
he's my hand under the table.

Speaker 3 (12:01):
Before he got up, he asked the other guy to
handle the.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
Check which is his boy, who knows what the deal is,
and to make sure I got home safe because he
doctored their physician. They're gonna make no fool out theyself
in here now. The wife ain't gonna ta the restaurant
up because she's with she. They know them there. They
come there off. But she got a bonnet on. She

(12:27):
just came up out the house. You want Monique Monique
the comedian, and told her about coming out like that.
Onique told Joe, don't be coming up here like.

Speaker 3 (12:39):
This here, but that's just a fly.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
It's not to handle this business.

Speaker 3 (12:43):
Said it with love.

Speaker 2 (12:45):
But now when you come out the door, Manna, Now
you forgot what Monique said. Well anyway, you is got
a bonnet on and a tracksuit and the bottom don't
match the top cause she got dressed right quick. My
man smiled at me, squeezed my hand on the table.
Before he got up. He asked the other guy to
handle the check man, hand.

Speaker 3 (13:06):
A checkpoint man and make sure she get home safety.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
I jumped up and asked what was going on. The
woman advised me to sit back down right. See this
is a physician's wife. Hey in a bond to show
asked yes, back down. She didn't advise you, she said
sit down before you get put down.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
All right, We'll be back with part three of the
Strawberry Letter for today. He left the restaurant with his wife?
What is He's a liar, he's a cheater.

Speaker 3 (13:39):
Yes, it's simple.

Speaker 1 (13:43):
We'll be back with more of the Steve Harvey Morning
Show right after this. You're listening Harvey Morning Show. Here
we go with part three of today's Strawberry Letter. The
subject is he left the restaurant with his wife. It
really should just be he's a liar and a cheater.
St I don't get it.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
The setup man left an important piece of information out
of this setup, and I will show you why the
whole fiasco has crumbled around him because.

Speaker 3 (14:10):
Of one gaping mistake.

Speaker 2 (14:14):
He got a condoct with this woman because he done
told his wife he needs to be closer to the hospital.
His wife and I they've been aging having some troubles.
They do have some problems in the marriage, but that's
common a lot of marriages do. That's no reason to
cheat and get another place. But he got the place
where he decided to get the place with the girl. So
he got the place with the girl, never told his

(14:34):
wife where it was just his closer, and then they
dated publicly. He met all his friends and his sister
because he done told family and friends. They on the outs,
he's tired of her, she's demanding. There on the outs,
he's looking. He wants to be happy. So all of
them is okay because he's the position. He's been providing
for the family for a number of years, so they

(14:56):
ain't f and the dog came out, and then his
friends just believe whatever he say because they his boy.
He's gonna have a golfer in his spare time, and
he usually stays at the resort where he golfs on
the weekend.

Speaker 3 (15:07):
That's not true.

Speaker 2 (15:09):
No one gets a golf membership in the town way
away from where they stay, or they gotta go spend
the night. You go play golf, you have drinks at
the nineteenth Hold with you buddies, and you take your
hands home.

Speaker 3 (15:19):
So every weekend he's at home with his.

Speaker 2 (15:20):
Wife because she knows he doesn't have practice during the weekend.
So now his wife thinks he's just coming home and
doing the week. When he spend the night at his condo,
it's gonna can be closer to the hospital.

Speaker 3 (15:32):
Ba da da da da da dad.

Speaker 2 (15:34):
I had no idea he was married, since he spent
most of his nights where he's in the medical practices.
Two weeks ago, he decided to go to the wharf
and I have a nice dinner with another couple.

Speaker 3 (15:44):
Got excited because he thought he was gonna marry.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
They sitting there having dinner, a woman walks in with
a bonnet in a tracksuit tells him to get up
and come with her. He squeezed her hand under the table,
smiles at her. Tell the dude, hey, man, make sure
she get home safe and pay the check. I got
up and saying, hey, what's going on? She advised me
to sit back down. She said, if you don't sit
your black ass back down, you ain't gonna see tomorrow

(16:09):
garden too.

Speaker 3 (16:10):
That's what she said.

Speaker 2 (16:13):
I sat back down, and the woman at the table
told me that was Jim's wife.

Speaker 3 (16:17):
Well, Jim and I have.

Speaker 2 (16:18):
Created life together and he hasn't reached out to me
in almost two weeks.

Speaker 3 (16:21):
What do I do now? The roosts is over.

Speaker 2 (16:24):
The fiasco has fallen apart, and the only reason it
fell apart that night was caused the dumb ass physician
took you to a restaurant that he frequents often, and
everybody know him and know his wife, and one of
the waiters and the waitresses called his wife and said,
your damn husband down here with another woman. She got

(16:46):
dressed right quick, came down there, and you lucky she
didn't whoop your dad.

Speaker 1 (16:53):
The only reason you like this letters because it's about golf, too,
had lots of reason. We'll be back with more of
the Steve Harvey Morning Show at the top of the hour.
