Speaker 2 (00:13):
We could be reading your letter.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
Live on the air, just like we're going to read
this one right here, right now, and you never know,
it could be yours.

Speaker 3 (00:21):
It could be yours. Buckle up and hold on time.
We got it for you. Here it is Strawberry Letter.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
Thank you nephew. Subject to my man is still better
than yours. Dear Stephen, Sure, Dear Stephen Shirley. I got
married for the first time when I was fifty eight years.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
Old, and I've been married for four years.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
My husband had a car accident six months ago and
he had his mistress in the car with him. That's
how I found out he was cheating on me. We
had to pay her medical bills and cover her injuries
on our insurance. I was embarrassed because my sister was
all ways waiting for me to lose. See, she dated

(01:03):
my husband back in the mid nineties. He said it
was just a sex thing, but I could tell that
she really liked him. He and I were always cool,
but nothing sexual ever went down until we decided to
be more than friends. About ten years ago. We went
out and the rest is history. My hating sister has
six kids and she's been married for years, but she

(01:26):
still got upset after my husband and I eloped. She
started bragging about how much her husband spends on her
and how he can't get enough of her.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
In the bedroom after all these years.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
After months of hearing that, I finally told her that
her husband is sleeping with two ladies. As she knows,
I showed her the receipts with text messages and pictures
of them hugged up. She had the nerve to tell
me that her man was still better than mine by
the looks of things, where even we both live with cheaters.

(02:00):
I'm heared of beefing with my sister over my husband.
I don't see how she can hold a grudge for
this long. If I could do things over I'd still
marry my husband. And I don't care that she dated
him over thirty years ago. Why is she constantly hating
on me over a man that never wanted her.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
How do we resolve our feud?

Speaker 1 (02:20):
Well, well, well, yeah, I mean don't you understand that
you broke the girl code and the sister.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
Code here I mean period. That's what this is.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
It's not that your sister's a hater or anything like that.
She's upset that you dated someone she dated to her.
So what if it was thirty years ago to her,
it feels still feels like yesterday when she was with him,
So you can't be mad at her for this.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
I'm just surprised how you don't see any of this.
You don't know, So I'm going to tell you.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
The girl code is an unspoken rule, okay, amongst women.
We don't date our sister's men, our girlfriend's men, our cousins.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
We don't do that. Okay.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
The girl code has been broken many times with the friendships.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
We know that. Families all that, and if you or
anyone else.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
Does break it, don't expect to still be friends with
these people.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
It just doesn't work like that. So that's what it is.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
If your sister wasn't blood, I'm sure she probably would
have canceled you a long time ago. Your sister feels
betrayed by you because you married a man she dated
in her past. It doesn't matter that your husband said
it was.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
Just for sex.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
Your sister thought it was more than that. Obviously, really, really,
you're the hater in my opinion. I'm just gonna tell
you you're the hater because of all the things you've
done to your sister with showing her the pictures of
her husband and telling her about that, you're the hater.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
Steve.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
All right.

Speaker 4 (03:48):
First of all, let me start by saying, Sureley knows
the girl code. I really don't, but it sounds like
she knows what she's talking about in there to card,
So obviously you must have broke the girl code. Got
all that? Now me not knowing the girl code and
all like that. Let me just tell you somebody here,
this letter right here ain't none but some mess. I
can't help you. I don't want to help you. I

(04:09):
don't know how to help you. Let me just start
off with the title of this letter. My man is
still better than yours.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
No he ain't.

Speaker 4 (04:19):
No, he ain't, ain't neither one y'all got nothing, neither one, y'all.
I don't even know what you're writing for. I got
married for the first time when I was fifty eight
years old, right there, right there. You don't know how

was trying to figure out how to get her out
of there and make sure she was okay. I boy,

mistress in the car.

ten years ago. We went out and the rest is history.

Stupid.

Speaker 4 (09:17):
I was embarrassed because my sister's always waiting on me
to lose Why because she dated my husband back in
the mid nineties. He said it was just a sex thing,
but I could tell she really liked him. Okay, if
you could tell your sister really liked him. Why are
you dating this man? Shirley said, this is girl cold
you broke. I see why. He and I were always cool,

(09:41):
but nothing sexual went down until we decided to be
moting friends about ten years ago. Tell y'all all this
we just friends. Okay, we went out and the rest
is history. No, it's not.

Speaker 3 (09:55):
No what you mean.

Speaker 4 (09:56):
We went out and the rest is history. Now, my
hating sister got six keys and she been married for years,
and she still got upset after me and my husband eloped.
You had to eloap because everybody in the family know
your sister used to date the man that really like him,
and now you have scooped him up with your old
behind at fifty eight, thinking you got something here in

(10:16):
congress with mistresses, and now y'all be eloped.

Speaker 3 (10:20):
Got girl, you had the load.

Speaker 4 (10:23):
She started bragging about how much our husband spills on
her and how much he can't get enough for her
in the bedroom after all these years.

Speaker 3 (10:30):
Well they got six kids.

Speaker 4 (10:33):
I think that he can't get enough of her statement,
it's very true. Yeah, and then how much he's spinning
on her. Hell, they got six kids, all his check
is gone? How much he's spinning on me, and you
got six kids to every quarter he makes spin on y'all.

(10:55):
After months of hearing that, I finally told her that
I it's sleeping with two ladies that she knows.

Speaker 3 (11:05):
Why would you do that?

Speaker 2 (11:06):
Because she's the hater.

Speaker 3 (11:09):
I showed her.

Speaker 4 (11:09):
The receipts with text messages and pictures of them hugged up.
She had to nerd and tell me that her man
was still better than mine by the.

Speaker 3 (11:19):
Looks of things.

Speaker 4 (11:20):
We even, Well, ain't you paying for the woman's injuries
that was in the car accident because your husband had
a chick in the car? Well, so what are you
talking about? She had the nerve to tell me that
her man was still better than mine by the looks

So what's okay?

Speaker 4 (11:50):
What do you want me to surely we both live
with cheatahs. I'm tired of beef with my sister over
my husband. Well, if you hadn't marry this man who
is a cheatah, who was dating your sister back in
the nineties, who your sister really liked, we wouldn't even
be here, right. I don't see how she can hold

(12:11):
a grudge for this loan. It ain't a grudge. It's
what you did. No, this ain't no grudge. This is
what you did. If I could do things over, I
still married my husband.

Speaker 3 (12:27):
Okay, cool, Now it's what you did and you.

Speaker 4 (12:30):
Ain't never apologized or tried to explain yourself. You just
want her to get over it. Well, when you're gonna
go in there.

And say, sis, can I talk to you? My bad?

Speaker 4 (12:41):
But I did fall in love with him. I'd marry
him again, but I won't apologize if I hurt you.

Speaker 3 (12:45):
But you ain't dead that.

Speaker 4 (12:47):
That's probably all your sister want, you know, women like closure,
just coming here and admit to me that you hurt
me and you knew I was wrong or something. I
don't see how she can hold a grudge for this loan.
If I could do things, I still married my husband
and I don't care that she dated him over the
thirty years ago. Okay, then we're back to you not

(13:08):
caring how your sister feel, which is what This ain't
a grudge.
