My husband thinks every man wants me. Dear Stephen Shirley,
My husband is a very jealous man and I lost
a big client because of him. He thinks I've flaunt
my assets too much wherever I go. I still have
my twenty one year old body and I run all
the time to stay in shape. As one of the

(00:55):
leading mortgage brokers in our area, I am always competing
with a younger women and men. When my husband and
I are out, he gets uncomfortable by how men look
at me, and for the past twenty five years, I've
tried to tell him that it's a good thing. That
I'm still attractive. The biggest issue we always have is

(01:15):
how he interferes with my job. The last time is unforgivable.
I had a multi millionaire couple that was interested in
buying a multi use complex. I told my husband about
it and how much commission I could make. He googled
a man and started hating on him immediately. The evening
of my third meeting with my millionaire client, I told

(01:38):
my husband where I would be, but I did not
mention that the man's wife was enjoining us. They had
seen this space already, so he wanted to give me
an offer. But guess who popped up my husband. As
soon as we were seated, he scooted into the booth
next to me. He greeted my client and made a
comment about it being a romantic business meeting because the

(02:00):
lights were dim. My client knew what was going on,
and he let my husband know it was strictly business
and he was welcome to stay. My husband got offended
by my client giving him permission to be there. As
a result, I lost the business and my husband looks
like Booboo the fool. My husband said that I don't
know how men think. Am I missing something here or

(02:21):
is his jealousy justified? Now, none of this is justified.
Your husband is simply out of line. I mean, this
is business and he blew it for you, which means
he blew it for the family. I mean, yes, he
is jealous and controlling. And how is it your fault
that you still have a nice body and you look good?
I mean, what's wrong with taking care of yourself? I

(02:44):
mean I would think that it would help in your business,
help with your image, help make your profession. You know,
you look good and your profession all of that. It's
a very competitive field, as you mentioned, with a lot
of money to be made. Your husband is not being supportive,
I mean, flighting in the booth with you and you're
on a business meeting. He's blocking and he's losing major

(03:06):
money because of it. You're losing major money. Your husband
and his jealousy are going to be your downfall if
you keep letting this happen. It's affecting your job and
your marriage. Because you're sick of it. You guys need
some counseling. That's what I recommend for you, some therapy
for any of this to work, and I suggest you
do it immediately. If your man won't go to therapy

(03:27):
with you, I just think you should go because this
is a major problem.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
Steve, what's she gonna go to therapy before? If he
don't go, she ain't got the problem, he do. Yeah,
but you going to therapy by yourself ain't gonna fix none.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
It'll fix how she reacts and how she deals with
it and how she feels about herself in these situations.

Speaker 3 (03:49):
Well, this is the problem that we left out that
we're not looking at.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
The subject is my husband thinks every man wants me.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
Okay, my husband is a very jealous man, and this
letter is about her losing a big client because of him.
The reason though, it's in line number two. He thinks
I flaunt my ass sets. He thinks I flaunt my
assets too much wherever I go. Now I hear the problem. See,

(04:26):
everybody want to address this right here. But she says
he thinks she flaunts her assets. What assets are we
talking about? Well, let's break the word down, and the
key word in here is sets, because everything you're flaunting has.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
Sets, notable.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
It sets. Now what does a woman have.

Speaker 3 (05:00):
That men are attracted to where she has two of them? Well,
let's start with the august. Two beautiful eyes, two gorgeous lips,
two nice fingernail sets. Now let's get down to business.
You got two breasts, ah, you got two nice legs.

(05:22):
Everything is as sets, and now let's get down to
the key. Your butt has two parts, left and right,
really right butt cheek and a left butt cheek. Everything
comes in sets. So your husband thinks you flaunch your

(05:42):
assets too.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
Much wherever I go.

Speaker 3 (05:45):
Now let's get into a deeper I still got my
twenty one year old body, and I run all the
time to stay in shape. As one of the league
more brokers in our area. I'm competing with younger women
and me. So now she's telling you, I'm competing with
young amoenmen and women and men.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
I got to come out here cracking. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
So, now that's why she's flaunting her assets because she
still has her twenty one year old body.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
My husband I out. He gets uncomfortable how.

Speaker 3 (06:20):
Men look at me for the past twenty five years
because you are flaunting your assets.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
And he's insecure. Yeah, we come back. All of this
has come to a head.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
Hang on, Steve, We'll have part two of your response
coming up at twenty three minutes after the hour of
today's Strawberry Letters, subject my husband thinks every man wants me.
We'll get back into it right after this. You're listening

Speaker 2 (07:00):
And there are a lot of reasons to like Hyundai.

Speaker 3 (07:03):
Hyundai's done a lot to support American consumers. I mean,
they announced their investment of twenty one billion dollars in
the United States over the next three years that will
expand manufacturing and create more jobs for Americans.

Speaker 4 (07:16):
And they just announced that they will not be raising
MSRP through June second, no matter what. Called five six'
two three one four four six zero three for more.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
Details all, right come, on see let's recap Today's strawberry.
Letter the subject is my husband thinks every man wants.

Speaker 3 (07:34):
Me and the reason he thinks this is because you
say he's a jealous.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
Man he could.

Speaker 3 (07:40):
Be and the reason for this letter is you've lost
a big climb because of. Him but here's the reason
he thinks THAT i the ladies, saying is he thinks
THAT i flaunt my assets too much WHEREVER i. Go,
assets As i've explained to, you is always means comes in.

Speaker 2 (07:59):
Tunes.

Speaker 3 (08:00):
Sex assets can be, eyes, legs, Hands but the assets
that draws the most attention when you're out in. Public
years you have two breasts and two butt, cheeks and
that's what you are. Flaunting you ain't out here batting your.

(08:23):
Eyes see when you walk, by don't nobody see your face,
then so we don't care about your, lips all your.
Eyes and when we see you coming, them headlights is.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
On. See so now we got a.

Speaker 3 (08:38):
Problem and she, SAYS i still have my twenty one
year old, body AND i run all the time to
stay in shape Because i'm a leading mortgage broke in
my area AND i have to compete with the younger
men and. Women and the way she's competing is flotting her.
Assets it's obvious, here but that's. Okay you want your
wife to still be. Flying but she, says when we,

(09:00):
out my husband gets uncomfortable how men look at me
for the past twenty five. Years so let's do a
little bit of. Math if she still got her twenty
one year old body and he been looking at that
for twenty one, years let's just say she forty six

(09:20):
and got it. CRACKING i tried to tell him it's
a good thing That i'm still. Attractive you wouldn't have
had to told me, that because it is a good
thing that you're still, attracted because once you're not attracted
