it could be yours.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
It could be yours. Buckle up and hold on time
beguide it for you. Here it is Strawberry letter.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
All right, thank you, nephew. Subject he's paying bills for
his cousin. Dear Stephen Shirley. I've been married for six years,
and for the past ten years, my husband has been
taking care of a female that he used to date.
When I met him nine years ago, he said that
he was close with the female cousin that lives in Maryland.
He said that he hasn't seen her in years, but
(00:47):
they talk almost daily. It was strange to me that
he's closer to his cousin than he is to his
own sister. He said that his relationship with his cousin
causes tension between him and his sister because his sister
can't stand the cousin. I kept asking to meet her,
but he always had excuses. I'll ask who he's texting,
and he'll say it's his cousin. If they're face timing,
(01:11):
he hangs up when I walk into the room. Honestly,
I never thought anything was up with them until I
started planning our Christmas trip to his parents' house in Maryland.
I told my husband's sister that I want her to
work things out with her cousin, because life is too
short to be hating family members. She told me that
the woman is not her cousin. She used to date
(01:32):
the woman, and when they broke up, the woman dated
her brother, who is my husband. She told me to
get my fat straight before I come to her. Trying
to be a peacemaker, she said that my husband has
been paying this girl's rent and car note for years,
and she does not live in Maryland. She lives about
ten miles from us. My chest tightened and I started
(01:55):
seeing white stars. I called my husband on the freeway
and he hung up when I asked him about his cousin.
He won't talk about it at all, or if I
bring it up, he locks himself in our guest bedroom.
I want to know what money he's using to pay
her bills. Why would he marry me if he's been
with her all along? Why won't he tell me what's up?
(02:17):
He's just not going to tell you. I mean, she
may not be of the family, but she certainly keeps
it in the family.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
This one.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
First your sister in law, then your husband. Who is
your sister in law's brother. Of course, I don't even
know who does that. She started dating a brother and
a sister from the same family. It's kind of hard
to wrap your mind around that, isn't it. Anyway. I'm
glad his sister told you because he certainly wasn't giving
up any information. But what a way to find out.
(02:47):
I mean, I'm sure that had to hurt you and
all of that. Your husband is foul for his lives
and deceit. He's taking money out of your household to
pay her bills. You've only been married to him for
six years, but this is going on for the past
ten years. How has he been able to get away
with all of this foolishness for so long? Even if
he did say it was his cousin. And what is
(03:09):
all this locking himself in the guest bedroom about. I mean,
he's beyond immature. This man is not ready to be
anyone's husband, let alone yours for six years. He can't
be trusted with his lies and everything. You deserve way
better than a husband who pays another man's bills, another
woman's bills right under your nose. I mean this is
(03:29):
just wrong. I just think you know finding out this information.
This marriage is over, Steve.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Well that's to Shirley.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
I know, yes that and love and love.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Yes, just kill this relationship. It is over. He did
in the water.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
I have actually have happened to agree with you on
this one. I don't know how this one gonna survive
is here right here? But well, here we go with this.
I found some real foolishness in this letter. Anyway, Your
husband been taking care of female that he used to date.
Right now, what is the rest of this letter for us?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
I could tell you right now.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
This crazy person I live with, she can't have no
letter to start with this. And then it continued because
all this is a wash. My husband is taking care
of female he used to date. Met him nine years ago.
He was close with a female cousin that lives in Maryland.
He said he ain't seen in yeb they talk daily,
and it's strange to you because you say he's closer
(04:41):
to her cousin than he is.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
His own sister.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
He said that the relationship with his cousin causes tension
between him and his sister because his sister can't stand becusin. Well,
let's move on and find out why. I kept asking
him to meet up, but they always had an excuse.
I asked him who he texted. He says, cuz if
(05:08):
they FaceTime, and he hang up when I walk in
the room. Honestly, I never thought anything was up with them. Really,
you kind of slow. Here's a female cousin, he talk
to you all the time you've been wanting to meet,
won't let you meet him be on FaceTime? Hang up
when you walk in the room, and you ain't thought nothing?
(05:31):
Cuz okay, I started playing the Christmas trip to his parents' house.
I told my husband, now here we fine to find
out why there's tension.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Between the cousin and his sister.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
I told my husband's sister that I want her to
work things out with her cousin because life is too
short to be hating family members.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
She told me the woman ain't her cousin. All hell.
That cause, for all.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Hell, that woman is not my cousin. I used to
date her. Oh he they had an affat together. They
was in a relationship, the female that your husband is
with and his sister was in a relationship, she told me.
(06:25):
And then when they broke up, the woman started dating her.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Brother, who is now your husband.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
And she told me, get my fact straight, for I
come trying to be a peacemaker god though.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Okay, Steve, we'll have part two of your response coming
up at twenty three minutes after the hour. Today's Strawberry letter,
subject he's paying bills for his cousin. We'll get back
into it right after this. You're listening Steve Harvey Morning Show.
All right, come on, see, let's recap today's strawberry letter.
The subject he's paying bills for him?
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Well, he's paying bills for his cousin. But we found
out in the letter it ain't his cousin. It's a
female cousin. And he used to date her, but it
looked like they still date.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
That's what I'm confused.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
And she didn't know this, but he told her he
had a cousin that he's really really close to him.
You thought it was surprising because he's actually closer to
her than he is his own sister. And he said, well,
the reason that is because they have some tension between them.
We found out the reason they have tension between them
is because the husband's sister and this female cousin used
(07:42):
to date, and when they broke up, she started dating her.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Brother, who is your husband. And that's what bills he paying.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
He paying the bills, and you're not paying bills because
we used to date. Right, Yeah, men don't do retro pay.
I'm just gonna tell that we don't do retro pay.
We don't do backup pay with you. Anyway, I kept
(08:14):
asking to meet her exes and the reason she found
out they was cousins because she was playing in a
trip to her husband's parents house in Maryland and told
your husband's sister that I want her to work things
out with her cousin because life is too short to
be hating family members. She snapped, told me that the
(08:34):
woman ate her cousin, that she used to date the
woman and when they broke up, the woman started dating
her brother, who is now your husband. She told me
to get my fact straight before I come to her
being a peacemaker god dog. But now we have letter
after this. Why I don't know, but we have some
more letter and here we go. She said, my husband
(08:56):
has been paying this girl's rent and card note for years.
And she don't live in Maryland. She stayed about ten
miles from us. He been over there. I just told you,
we don't do retro pay. We don't send money across
state lines. That's a crime. That's a crime to send money,
(09:18):
Yes it is. That's mail fraud. That's wired Tampa, that's
cross cross line. You can't do that to people. That's
a crime, especially if it's a legal activity going on.
And this is not a legal illegal activity, but this
is an immoral illegal activity because you had a husband
(09:38):
and wife contrac So I called my husband on a
three way. First, she said, my chest tighten up and
I started seeing white stars. Last time that happened to me,
Larry Singleton had punched me in the jaw. That's the
last time my chest tightened up and I saw white stars.
Larry single damn then knock my hands out, So I
(10:02):
know the feeling. Anyway, I called my husband on the
three way and he hung up when I ask him
about his cousin.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Now listen this. He hung up.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
He won't talk about it at all, and if I
bring it up, he locks hisself in our guess bedroom.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
What you can do that?
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Boy? Wait a minute, man, you can do that. Yeah,
Tommy kill. Next time you're having an argument with your wife,
walk away and lock yourself in another room.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
That whole damn dough will be on fire, man, he would.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Boy, Now I tell you what that'll be the last
time you go in because you be walking down the
hallway and all the dolls is gone.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
I didn't even know you could do that. Now here's it.
Here's a question.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
I won't to know what money he's using to pay
her bills? What you want to know what money he's
using to pay her bills? Let me ask my radio
listening audience a question. When have you ever heard of
another money?
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Right? She said? I want to know what money he's
using to pay her bills? What you mean? What money?
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Who on this show has ever heard of another money?
Speaker 2 (11:38):
All this money over here, this mind.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
So if I'm paying your bills, it's got to be
with because you can't use nobody else money to pay
somebody else. You can't do that. Who's giving you the money? Hey, dog,
I know you got this girl.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Man, Just take money? Boy? Who do that? You can't
go to the bank? Excuse me? Not like take out
a long? Yeah? What is your loan for the day?
It's time. I got chick on the side and I
want and you want to ball money to do that
from us? Yeah? Who there, sir? Step away from the counter.
(12:21):
All right. Now, here's the other one.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Why would he marry me if he's been with her
all along? Well, that's it's called an affair, and you
try to keep that a secret. Here's the last question.
Why won't he tell me what's up? What the hell?
Speaker 2 (12:40):
You don't know? What? What?
Speaker 3 (12:43):
What you wanted to? You just told us what was up.
We know what's up. Now you say, why won't he
tell me what's up? I think really? Cause you stupid?
That's what I really think. Why would he have to
tell you something that you got all the information in
this letter right?
