Speaker 2 (00:19):
Buggle up, hold on time. We got it for what
you here. It is Strawberry Letter.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Thanking a few subjects. He's so good at cheating it's scary,
Dear Stephen Shirley, My brother is so good at cheating
that it's scary. I lived with him and my sister
in law for a year after I got out of rehab.
I was in a boating accident and my leg was
messed up, so I stayed in a rehab facility for
three weeks. When I got out, my cheating brother wanted
(00:46):
me to stay with him until I was fully able
to walk again. After only three days of living with
he and his wife, he started using me as interferent
and an excuse to cheat. His side chick came to
the house during the day and they would have sex
in the formal living room. If he ever got caught
(01:06):
the side chick was supposed to be my physical therapist,
and she even wore scrubs when she came to our house.
I find it hard. I found it hard to look
at my sweet sister in law and know that she's
being cheated on by a man that had no respect
for her nice living room furniture. He gave his girlfriend
my phone number, and she'd call late at night, and
he'd come to my room to tell her good night
(01:28):
on my phone while he left his phone on the
charger in his bedroom. His girlfriend could cook her behind off,
so she would drop off food for him, and he'd
tell his wife that my friend dropped it off. My
sister in law never became suspicious, and I wanted to
drop hints to her so badly, but I had to
be loyal to my brother. Now I'm in my own
(01:50):
apartment and I met a new guy. Whenever his phone
rings and he ignores it, I get very paranoid. I'm
dealing with baggage that never happened to me directly, but
I was caught in the crossfires. I lash out at
this new guy and he hasn't done anything. My brother said,
I cannot blame this on him. Should I trust my guy,
(02:12):
or keep an eye on him, all right, Well, in
any situation, it's always good to keep your eyes open
and pay attention to the red flags. Okay, but in
your case, your man hasn't really given you a reason
to accuse him of anything. His not answering his phone
could be something, and it could not be. So only
time will tell that. Now. What your brother did, of course,
(02:34):
was completely wrong, completely out of line, and not to mention,
really stupid for bringing the woman to his home. It
was very disrespectful. All of that, we know that. But yes,
he should have used He was using you, I should say,
and you're being there, and the fact that he knew
(02:57):
that you wouldn't snitch on him because he's your brother
to do his dirt. He used you to cover up
his blatant cheating although his wife. If his wife caught
him having sex in the living room, I don't know
how he could say that was therapy. I don't know
that was your physical therapy. Anyway, you saw what you
saw and you cannot unsee it.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
At this point.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
The main thing is, please don't get involved. Please don't
do that, because their marriage truly is none of your business.
I mean you saw it, but what can you do? So, yeah,
watch your new guy, but don't compare him to your cheating,
low down brother. Don't do that. If you want to know,
just ask him about his unanswered phone calls and see
how he reacts.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Steve, Wow, I've never seen a letter come in like
this where the subject matter for ninety nine percent of
the letter the subject matter was about someone else, and
then zero point nine one percent is just you want
(03:57):
to know if your new dude is cool or not.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
I be damn.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
This is a perfect case of worrying about something that
first of all, you have no control over, worrying about
something that has yet happened, and worrying about.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Something that ain't your business.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
And now you done took on somebody's woes, concerns, and problems,
and you done took them all and packed them on
your back. And now you got all the same woes,
troubles and problems because in your mind, this is what
you come up with.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
This is letter.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Is nothing ridiculous you talking about Now your brother is
so good at cheating is scary. This is really not
a good cheater. I'm gonna tell you something, man, This
dude is like this is. Damn, they're stupid. This is
my seat. Good cheaters at least? Man, Damn, you want
(04:54):
to reduce your chances.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
I don't want to involve anyone else.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
You don't.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
You want to reduce your chances and limit your exposure.
Anything that exposes you, man is that's stupidity. If this
dude is this loyal, dishonest, he's so good at cheating,
that is scary. I lived with him and my sister
in law for a year after I got out of rehab.
I was in a boating accident. My legs was messed up,
(05:21):
so I stayed in rehabiting. You know, Okay, that's what
you're saying. Huh Where you hurt your leg in a
boating accident and the black people hurt their leg You

Speaker 2 (08:32):
Prediture?
Speaker 3 (08:33):
If he ever got caught. The side chick was supposed
to be my physical therapist. And she even wore scrubs
when she came to our house. This will load down
health for right here. This chick, the side chick, she
load down. She is load down. Her self esteem is
so low. Not only are you the side chick, you
(08:55):
gonna come to my house and then you gonna be
in the sky and you're gonna be posed as a
physical therapist for my sister who just got out of
rehab from a boat and accident. She hurt her leg
on the wall. Now you're dressing up in scrubs to
come over here. Man, it's a low down chick right here.
And this dude is dumb. Let me here's the exposure.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
You know about it, You at your own house, neighbors
know about it.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
And now you'd have brought this girl to your house
posy as a physical therapist and she's not one, and.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Now she know about your exposure. Is incredible. Man.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
I found it hard to look at my sweet sister
in law know that she was being cheated on by
a man that had no respect for her nice living
room furniture. Wait, man, hold on, it had no respect
for her nice living room fronture. He ain't had no
respect for her. He didn't have no respect for the marriage.
He didn't have no respect for their home. Damn the
(09:57):
nice living room furniture. He had no respect for her
as a person, for their hole. This dude right here,
the side chickens low down and he low down. He
gave his girlfriend my phone number, and she called late
at night, and he come to my room to tell
(10:19):
a good night on my phone. Man, This dude right here, boy,
he got everybody involved in this. This is not going
to last because the ain't no foundation for this right here.
His wife ain't.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Dead, nothing to him. He just doing what he want
to do. And he thinks he's slick. This ain't gonna last, man,
it can't. The exposure is too high. He's not a
good cheetah. He's stupid.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
His girlfriend could cook her behind off, so she would
drop off food for him.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
And he tell his wife that my friend drops it off.
What she is friend?
Speaker 3 (10:54):
You be calling me a night, you take the phone off.
Why don't you know the call? You ever thought about
getting out of this? Not participating.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Anyway.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
My sister in law never became suspicious that I wanted
to drop hints to her so badly. But I had
to be law to my brother. That's real, God, be
law to the brother. But you got to distance yourself
from this right here. Now, I'm in my own apartment
and I met a new guy. Whenever his phone rings
and he ignores it, I get very paranoid. I'm dealing
(11:26):
with baggage that never happened to me directly. But I
was caught in the crossfires. I last shot at this
new guy and he hasn't even done anything. My brother said,
I cannot blame this on him. Of course, your brother
saying you can't blame it on him because your brother
ain't wrong. He ain't wrong for the side chick. He
(11:48):
ain't wrong for bringing into his home. He ain't wrong
for having sex with in the living room. He ain't
wrong for making her dress up in a scrub disguise.
He ain't wrong for giving her your phone number. He
ain't wrong for coming to your room at night to
say good night? Are you kidding me? And you expect
him to own up to something? Are you serious? Lady?
(12:08):
And then all of that to get to this right here,
and oh, by the way, Iden told you you done
brought some baggage from a relationship that wasn't even yours.
Most women that have baggage have baggage from a previous
relationship or something that happened to him. That's more understandable
than this. You bringing baggage from some hearsake and something
(12:29):
you saw, lady, you and your brother. I don't know
how y'all be thaying on who y'all mommy and daddy?
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Was that?
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Y'all missed a lot of lessons on how it's supposed
to go. Should I trust my new guy? Keep out it,
keep iw it. Every time you stay with somebody, you
gotta keep on somebody. Damn Now you're in your house
keeping eye on somebody.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
What hell?
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Why don't you just try to enjoy your damn life
for women and quit creating scenarios that you don't have.
