Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, buckle up, hold on tight. We got it
for you. Here. It is the Strawberry Letter, subject just married. Hello,
Shirley and Steve. I'm twenty nine. I'm a twenty nine
year old Hispanic woman, just recently married. I love my
husband with all of my heart and soul. We've been
together for going on two years, married two months, and
we get along great. The problem is his son's mother.
(00:23):
This woman has continually tried to cause my husband and
our marriage problems. Now, me being the woman that I am,
I try to see it from both sides. But he
is my husband, and regardless of the things this woman does,
he will continue to be my husband. We promised till
death do us part. I take my vow seriously. But
this woman calls my house and his cell phone all
(00:45):
the time. Now, I don't have a problem with um
this woman calling about their child, but the chick takes
it one step further and asked about our other children,
my husband's two daughters and my two children, and personal
issues that pertains to them, as in their daycare and
so on. She calls my husband, causes him out, calls
him all sorts of horrible names, and just just stupid things,
(01:08):
calls me, telling me she loves him, but then calls
him and tells him she hopes he dies in his sleep,
has called him racial names. My husband is African American
in parentheses, mind you, this chick is white. Their son
is mixed. Now I've had enough of this nonsense. I
have already told my husband to check her. He has,
but this crazy chick won't stop. What do I do now?
(01:30):
I could be the girl I used I was a
few years ago and deal with it on my own terms.
I'm not trying to do that, though. It's taken me
a lot to grow into the woman that I have become.
But when is enough enough? I don't disrespect my husband,
and even if I did, I know this much, I'm
not going to allow another woman to disrespect him. So
(01:52):
what do I do? Just married, dear, just married? This
woman is a bitter, jealous, hateful. He's just She's just
mad because her maybe daddy married you and not her.
That's all. She's trying to do all that she can
to destroy everything he touches. She wants him back, can't
get him, so she's using her son as an excuse
to push up into his and now your life okay, uh,
(02:16):
And that's what's happening here. Excuse me, that's what's happening here.
And the only reason she can get away with it
is because she can. She can. You guys are allowing
her to. I was gonna tell you to have your
husband handle it, but you said he checked her. Well,
I think he needs to do it again. I think
you guys, you and your husband need to get together
and do it. Um. It doesn't sound like the courts
(02:37):
are involved, because you know, you guys don't have scheduled
visits and things like that. It sounds you might have
to go back and be that girl you used to
be for a minute and just let her know what
is up in no uncertain terms, and if all else fails,
just change your number and then call her when you
want to call her before. Well, I'm not changing my
(03:02):
damn number. Call me again. See what happened when you
I'm not changing my number. I got too many people
I got to call to get a number back to know.
