Strawberry Letter.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Thank you. Nephew's subject my husband and his life partner.
Dear Stephen Shirley. I've been married for twenty seven years
to a man that made a beautiful life for me
and our four children. He's been to every school program, graduation,
medical appointment, and each child's extra curricular activities. He showered
(00:46):
me with gifts on special occasions and on ordinary days
of the week. This is why I can't believe what
I have found out recently. For the past eleven years,
he's been dealing with a woman that lives forty five
miles from our home and he has two children by
(01:06):
this woman. I went to get botox and was in
the waiting room with this woman and her ten year
old son. The boy's name is Julius, and he looks
exactly like my nineteen year old son. My husband's name
is Julius. This woman was wearing a ring on her
right hand that is identical to the right hand ring
(01:28):
my husband, Julius, gave me for Valentine's Day this year.
My heart was racing so fast. When I complimented her
on the ring and I showed her my ring, she
said her life partner gave it to her for Valentine's Day.
I asked her his name, and she said it's Julius.
(01:49):
She had no idea, no idea that my heart was
about to jump out of my body. Maybe she does
not know that Julius is married, and she was unaware
that I'm his wife, Or was she I skipped my
appointment and went to Julius's job and asked him to
step outside. I told him that I've met his life partner,
(02:10):
and he dropped to his knees and cried uncontrollably. He
told me that he loves us both the same, but
he never ever would have let her come between our marriage.
He said he has two outside children, and he pays
her mortgage and spends a considerable amount of time with
her and the children. I don't know what to do now.
(02:34):
I don't want to leave him, so would I be
crazy to stay? What should I do?
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Oh, it's sure.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
I don't have a lot to say on this one.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Okay, I don't.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
I don't have a lot to say on this lessonsiness.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
I said a lot. Listen, calm and bring it down.
I'm disgusted by your husband's behavior, I really am, and
I don't know how he could have got away with
this for eleven years. Eleven years. I know you want
to stay in this, but you got to get out
of this marriage. It's over. Your husband has caused you
(03:09):
some unimaginable pain. I know he has the worst being
unprotected sex with a so called life partner, him saying
he loves you both, and having two kids by her.
I know you're hurt. I know you're confused. I know
you're feeling betrayed right now. But after you throw him
out and get yourself together, you got to try to
pick up the pieces and move on from this. He
(03:32):
doesn't deserve you. He can have his life partner as
far as I'm concerned. Maybe then he'll see how he
hurts you and destroyed this family. I know you said
you love him and you don't want to leave, but
what choice do you really have in this You're going
to be one of his two wives or whatever. I
mean eleven years of cheating. You will never ever be
able to trust this man again, ever, And that makes
(03:56):
this marriage older or over because he broke the trust.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
See, I'm the marriage counselor nothing.

that's listened to me. Y'all has given me a beautiful
life for me and our four children. He has been
to every school program, graduation, medical appointment, all the extracurriculum activities.
(04:33):
He has showered this woman with gifts on special occasions
and on ordinary days of the week.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
What a man, What a man, What a mighty good man.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
These are salt and pepper lyrics in Vogue lyrics. This
is why I can't believe what I found out recently.
And she says, for the past eleven years he's been
dealing with a woman that lives forty five miles from
our house and got two children by this woman. My
(05:08):
only comment in here is, oh Lord, then I went

gonna hate me for this? But this is the problem
in this whole day, O wak to get boltos if
