We gote it for you. Here it is Strawberry Letter.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
All right, neph you, thank you. Subject. I went from
Maine to mistress. Dear Stephen Shirley. For the past four years,
I've been dealing with a man that has flipped the
script on me. He used to work for me, and
then he quits so we could be together. It started
off as him pursuing me in the beginning. He would
do anything to be with me, even shampoo my hair
(00:46):
and polish my toenails. He moved into my place and
we bought all new furniture. Then six weeks later I
came home and found him in our new bed with
this woman that used to deliver parcels to our job
act a fool at all. After I caught them he
said it was just sex and it didn't mean the
thing to him. I saw the chick a few times
(01:07):
a week at work, and she would never look my way.
I decided to be petty one day and flash my
left hand to show her the promise ring that my
man gave me. She told me that it would only
be a matter of time before she's living with him
and I'm out of the picture. I went home and
told my boyfriend what she said, and he said he
(01:28):
hasn't seen her in a long time. I thought it
was all over until they sent me a picture of
him engaged in an act that he told me he
hates doing. I was hurt when I realized he had
lied about everything to make a long story bearable. We
got in a huge argument and he moved out. He
said we need time apart to see if we really
love each other. A few weeks after he moved out,
(01:50):
he started coming up to my office so we could
have sex, just like in the beginning. It went on
for a while before I found out that he's engaged
to that other woman and he lives with her. She
didn't get a promise ring. Her ring is a real
engagement ring. I went from Maine to mistress. I want
to stop having sex with him, but I can't. How
(02:12):
do I get him out of my system? Is this crazy?
If I still have sex with him?
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Yes, it is.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
If you're still having sex with a man you caught
having sex with another woman in your bed. Okay, make
that makes sense to all of us. Why did you
have to ask Steve and I that question? And you
know what? That's how you move from Maine to Mistress.
You catch a man in bed with another woman and
you do nothing. All right, you already know this is crazy.
(02:40):
Here's some more questions. Why why didn't you let him
go after you caught them, only to see them engaged
and yet another sexual act that he told you he
hates doing. So now that's twice you've seen him with
your own eyes with this woman and you still can't
let him go. That's how you move from Maine to
miss doing crazy stuff like this. You've got to get
(03:04):
yourself together. Nothing, and I do mean nothing in this
world is that good to make you lower your standards
and your self esteem like this. You are better than this.
Look at what he's done to you. Remember what you
caught him doing. You cannot forget that. He's not a
nice guy. He's a liar, he's a cheater, he's a user.
So you mean you want to stop having sex with him,
(03:26):
but you can't, that's what you're saying. Yes, you can
say it with me, Yes I can. Don't let this.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Man continue to disrespect you like this.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
That's all he's gonna do if you keep taking him
back after you catch him and stop disrespecting your own self.
You know you can't continue to allow him to do
this to you. He is engaged and living with another woman.
Please stop this. You gotta get over him.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
You can do it.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Steve claud Mercy, it's so much.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
Let me start at the bottom of the letter where
she says I wanna stop having sex with him, but
I can't. Shirley said, there's nothing so good that you
can't stop doing it.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
That's not true.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
I am just here to tell you that is not true.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
I can relate to one part of this.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
I can't stop having six Let's just put that out there.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
That part I understand.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Now.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
The rest of this letter is a disaster for you, lady.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
You are just surey nailed this letter on so many
points for you. But let me just go through it.
You're dealing with a man, and he'd have flipped the
script on you. He was pursuing you in the beginning,
and he would do anything to be with you, even
shampoo my hair and polish my toe. Lil come through, player,
(05:00):
love bombit come through player. He moved into my house,
he bought we bought all new furniture. Six weeks later,
I came home and found him in our new bed
with this woman that used to deliver apoarstles to our job.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
I don't I don't know, say it, Please say it.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
What to how to how to read the rest of
the letter after that, because it's so much.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
That's got to pop off after that. But nothing happened.
M h.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
I did not act a fool at all after I
caught them right there.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
That's why I'm supposed to act the fool.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
Why in your house, in your bed, she that boat.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
You have got to at minimum get your ass.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
That's ad minimum, bare minimum for it, just.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
In my house.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
That's and I didn't have to fool after I caught him.
Then guess what he said? It was just sex and
didn't mean the thing to him. Wait'ting hold of art.
You can say that after somebody catch you in their bed,
that's the line.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
You can say, Hey, one't number six. She don't mean
nothing to me.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
That's why I was in our house, in your bed,
the new furniture we just bought.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
All right, Hey, Steve, crazy letter.
Speaker 1 (06:41):

twenty three minutes after. The subject today is I went
from Maine to Mistress.

Speaker 1 (07:25):
All right, come on, Steve, let's recap today's strawberry letter.
The subject is I went from Maine to Mistress.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
This about the most ignorant letter.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
This woman who was dating a man used to work
for her, then he quit so they could be together.
Then it started out, he's pursued me in the beginning.
He would do anything for shampoo, half fixed, painted toenails.
Then they moved into the place. They went in and
moved in together, and they brought all new furniture. Then
six weeks later, she came home from the job he
(07:57):
used to work at with hum and found him in
our new bed with a woman that used to deliver
parcel lucid used to deliver parcels to our job.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Then she said, I did not act a fool after
I caught them?
Speaker 2 (08:11):
What why not?
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Perfect time?
Speaker 5 (08:17):
If ever, that was a shot at acting a food
and it being legit, that was it.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Then he said it was just sex. It didn't mean
a thing to him. I didn't.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
I didn't know you could use that.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
That's the point. You can't.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
But in her bed, in her house.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
And they over there, so she didn't wasn't just delivering
parcels down to the job.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
She brings package to your house too.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
Apparently, Okay, I saw the chick a few times a
week at work, and she would never look my way.
I decided to be petty. One day her, I'll show
her and flash my left hand to show her the
promise ring that my man gave me. She told me
(09:09):
it'll only be a matter of time before she living
with him and I'm out the picture.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
So that was a that was a short flex.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
You showed her and she did. Here, I got a
promise from help for it'll only be a short time
when he's gonna be living with me. You ain't even
gonna be.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
In the picture.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
I went home and told my boyfriend what she said.
He said, I ain't seen her in a long time.
I thought it was this dude, can just say anything.
Got caught into bed with the woman, turned around and
said it wasn't. Number six ain't mean nothing to me.
Look damn while she in hell she in our bed.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
None of that did.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
After the girl flexed on and told her he gonna
leave you and be with me. It's just amount of time.
You go home and told him told you say, I
ain't seen her in a long time. I thought it
was all over until she sent me a picture. Now
hold up, yeah she sent.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
You a picture. Now she got your phone numb on?
How the hell is.
Speaker 5 (10:13):
She sent you a picture of him engaged in an
act that he told me he hates doing. So anybody
out there that ain't clear, just let me say it
to you this way, and I think you will get it.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
She had a phone camera in her hand.
Speaker 5 (10:33):
And while he was somewhere not looking up, she snapped
a picture and sent it to this walk.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Yes, that's it. You nailed it.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
Now, And he lied and said he hate doing it.
Let me ask you something. He hate doing it. But
if it was a video, she could have proved that
he did like it. Yeah, if it sound effects in it,
(11:04):
you kind of it'll be a movement. You could see that. Anyway,
Let's move on. I was hurt when I realized he
lied about everything. Wait a minute, what you just not
getting hurt?
Speaker 4 (11:17):
What?
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Wait? When you caught him in the bed? What clear
it up for you?
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Was?
Speaker 3 (11:24):
He said?
Speaker 5 (11:25):
It ain't mean nothing to him. It was just some sex.
Oh that's why y'all was in here. Cool man, I
thought you cared about it. I thought you cared about
her and me. Good, that ain't hurt me. Then she
sent you the other picture. Now I realized he lied
about everything. To make a long story, bearable. We got
(11:47):
in a huge argument and he moved out. He said,
we need time apart to see if we really love
each other. This dude right here just comes up with
all the cliche of Mark, what sex You wasn't doing nothing?
You know, I needed sometimes to see if we really
love each other. I ain't seen her in a long time.
(12:09):
Then a few weeks after he moved out, he started
coming up to my office so we could have sex.
Just like in the beginning. It was a fresh start.
It was love all over again. It went on for
a while before I found out he engaged to that
(12:29):
other woman and he lived with her. Wow, well, where
do you think he was coming from when he was
coming up to the office. You think he was just
driving around the city to next week? And she didn't
get a promise ring. Her ring is a real engagement ring.
She told you, in just a short while, you're gonna
(12:50):
be out the picture and I'm gonna be in the one.
I went from Maine to mistress. I want to stop
having sex with him, but I can't. Well, you stupid, Now,
how do I get him out of my system? Is
he crazy? If I still have sex with him? No?
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Why would you think so crazy.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
What this letter don't sound crazy to you? Right? All right?
Speaker 5 (13:16):
Keep on having sex with him, that's all. Just don't
stop post comment. You just said it. You said you
went from Maine to mistress. You the mistress.
