Book Love, Hold on tight. We got a coin here
it is Strawberry Letter.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Oh this letter makes me sad right here. Subject he
stole my wife from write up under me. Okay, Dear
Stephen Shirley, I am a hard working, faithful man. I
was married for fifteen years to my college sweetheart. I
never had any problems in my marriage until I tried
(00:51):
to help out a friend. Here's what happened. My wife
had a best friend and the friend was married to
a big time cheater. We were always there for her.
She was going through drama with her husband. Their marriage
finally ended when her husband got her cousin pregnant. She
put him out of the house and he didn't have
(01:12):
anywhere to go. So I talked my wife into letting
him stay with us for a while so he could
sort things out. The first week, he kept to himself
and he slept a whole lot when he wasn't at work.
The second week, he started talking more. I came home
from work one day and he and my wife had
cooked together and we all sat and ate. Going into
(01:35):
the third week, I sat down with him to see
if he'd made other living arrangements. He informed me that
he was very comfortable in my house, and he said
my wife loved having him there. He told me that
he could tell my wife needed to be loved properly,
so he seduced her, and he's been making love to
her almost daily for the past two weeks. You can
(01:59):
guess what happened next. I grabbed him and I slung
him to the ground, and my wife rushed in and
yelled for me to stop. She said it was all true,
and she apologized to me. Fast forward to the present.
I have a new house. He's in my old house
with my wife, and they are getting married when our
(02:20):
divorce is final. He took my kindness for weakness and
stole my wife from right up under me. I still
want to put yeah, I still want to put hands
on him, but there's no use in it because he
already got my wife. It's going to be hard for
me to trust another female. How could I move past
(02:40):
this and find happiness again?
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Now you see why this letter makes me sad? This
I mean, just when you think you've heard it all,
I'm just really sorry because you sound like a truly
nice man. You sound like a nice guy. You know,
women ask all the time. We're the nice guys. You
know there are no more guys. Well, this was truly
a nice guy. These weren't even your friends. These were
(03:05):
your wife's friends. She was your wife's best friend. You
weren't even come on. You stepped in to help your
wife's best friend's husband out. You didn't have to do
any of this. You didn't have to do it, and
I know you're probably asking yourself why you did. Now,
this loser and a man. I'm being kind when I
(03:26):
use that word. He stabbed you in your back so hard.
Then he twisted that knife. Okay, but I can't blame
him entirely because your wife played a big role. What
is wrong with her? What is wrong with your wife?
You guys have been college sweethearts and been married for
fifteen years, So she lets this guy come in here,
(03:47):
and after two weeks, she's sleeping with the guy and
defending him, trying to pull you off him, when he
clearly deserved a beat down. He was very comfortable and
not only living in your house but you know, taking
liberties with your wife and everything else. And now he's
staying in your house. This is terrible. I blame your
(04:10):
wife for allowing this to go down, But more than that,
I blame him because you were just showing kindness to
another man who needed it at the time. I think
he overstayed. You allowed him to overstay. Three weeks is
too long. He should have gotten it together by then,
and if he didn't, he should have moved on. How
do you move on? One way is to hopefully, you know,
(04:32):
get some female companionship in your life. That's one way
you can do it, move forward and have happiness again.
You say it's hard for you to trust females. All
females aren't like that. I hope you know that, But
you know, start slowly with friendship from a female and
take it from there. You can move on and get
past this. And you're going to have to try and
forgive Steve.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
I don't see nothing about no moving on in this letter.
Just just about this letter. Yes, oh see the move
in on Houns all over my ass. You married fifteen
years to your college sweetheart, got it. Never had problems
in my marriage till I tried to help out a friend.
Uh definition of friend. Here's what happened. My wife had
(05:13):
a best friend. So this is your wife's best friend,
and the friend was married to a big time Cheetoh. Now,
nowhere in this letter really was you saying that this
man was your friend, your wife's best friend, and the
friend was married to a big time cheatingh We were
(05:34):
always there for her when she was going through drama
with her husband. Y'all were always dare for her. You
ain't mentioned this guy yet. Then the marriage finally ended
when her husband got her cousin pregnant. Okay, understood. She
put him out the house. He didn't have nowhere to go.
(05:57):
So then you talk to your wife to let him
stay with y'all for wow.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
When he become your friend.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
But y'all was with the lady to help her through
all the trump here she put the man out. Now
y'all take him in too. What is y'all a shelter?
Speaker 2 (06:13):
You have to side? You got a home or a
damn shelter. Now.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
The first week he kept to himself, and he slept
a lot when he wasn't at work. In the second
week he started talking with here the letter change. I
come home from work one day he and my wife
had cooked together, and we all sat down at ate.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
This wedding letter in for me exactly this damn metal over.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
We gotta take you cooking together fault Well. Have part
two of Steve's response coming up at twenty three minutes
to after be our subject of today's letter. He stole
my wife from right up under me right after this.
You're listening hard morning show. All right, Steve, come on,
let's recap today's Strawberry Letters subject. He stole my life
(07:00):
right from under me, right from up under me.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
This letter unbelievable. You be married to a college sweetheart.
They ain't have no problems. Her best friend had and
her friend her best friend her wife. Excuse me, his
wife had a best friend who was married to a
big time Cheatah. Then y'all was always dad for going
through the drama with her husband. Then the marriage ended
when her husband got her cousin pregnant.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
She put him out of the house.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
He ain't have anywhere to go, so I talked my
wife into letting him stay with us so he could
sort things out. First week he to himself, slept a
whole lot. Then he wasn't at work. The second week
he started talking more. I come home from work one
day he and my wife had cooked together, and we
all sat down.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
At eight cooking together for what ain't nobody here but me?
Uh huh?
Speaker 3 (07:54):
You that I invited and my wife? Why is two
people cooking this damn meal? Three people don't require help
in the kitchen if your wife been cooking, it's just
a little bit extra for one more half a cup
more rice in the bowl uncooked. That blows up the
(08:17):
two damn cups of eight rice. Okay, Now that's what
we start having a problem with right now. Now, going
into the third week, I sat down with the man
to see if he made other living arrangements. He informed
me that he was very comfortable in my out my
(08:38):
house right there. See, I don't know, I don't even
know how we have in this conversation. There's nobody that tummy,
there's nobody that no needs. We gonna make this statement
to me that I'm very comfortable in your house.
