Ladies and gentlemen. Strawberry Letter.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Thank you, Steve. Subject my own daughter put me on blast.
Dear Stephen Shirley, I'm a fifty two year old married woman,
but my husband and I have been at odds for
a few years because he is a cheater. I never
caught him, but all of his mannerisms changed and we
stopped being intimate. The arguments got so bad that I
(00:48):
stopped talking to him altogether and focus more on my
kids and my promotion at work. I fill the void
in my marriage with the side piece that happens to
work at a car dealership, and he is as fine
as frog here. He was flirting heavily with me when
I bought a new SUV from him. He suggested that
we break in the third row of my new truck,
(01:10):
so we did for weeks after that, I would drive
to his job and we got busy in the third
row of my truck. I'm sure his coworkers knew we
were having sex, so I was taking a big risk
because one of them goes.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
To my church. I didn't care.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
The sex was too good and it was so much fun.
But after a month of great sex, it all came
to a screeching halt. On the day of my eight
year old daughter's birthday, I picked up four of her
friends for the party at the skating rink. My daughter
got on the third row of the suv and her
friends piled in. My husband drove his car and we
(01:48):
got to the skating rink. My daughter gave her dad
a cuff link. My husband said it wasn't his cuff link,
and he looked directly at me.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
I walked on.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
I walked on into the skatingrink and got the girls
situated in the party room. My husband got all up
in my face and asked what I have been doing
in my suv and where the cuf link came from.
I ignored him. My daughter put me on blast. But
I don't feel like I owe him an explanation, or
do I should I come clean with him.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Hmm.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
This letter, This letter got me upset. It really did,
because what you're not going to do, mom, is blame
the baby for your cheating. You're just not going to
do that. You were messing around in your truck with
a car salesman and you got busted.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Period.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
The child was absolutely justified in giving the cuf link
to her dad. Of course she thought it was her dad's.
I mean, this is an eight year old daughter, your
eight year old daughter. She doesn't know anything about all
of this. I just think you're wrong, Mom. You didn't
check behind yourself. Your salesman didn't realize he left the
cuff link, and you just got caught, both of you guys.
(03:01):
You know, basically, that's it, that's all, and it's on you,
no one else but you. That's proof of your cheating.
You said you never caught your husband. It was just
the fact that his mannerisms changed and he cuts you off.
But still no evidence. You know, there was no earring,
lying around, no hair, no underwear, et cetera. But you,
(03:22):
my dear, left evidence. It was still it's still double
standard in this world concerning men and women, meaning you
can't do what I do, and that's just the way
men think. That's why he was all up in your
face about the cuff link. And you still have no proof.
He doesn't want you cheating on him though, So no,
you don't owe him an explanation. And please know that
(03:42):
if you tell him the truth, your marriage is more
than likely over. Men don't usually stick around when there
women when their wives and women cheat on them. I
really don't see how this marriage is going to survive
the cuff link. And again, you have no evidence, Steve.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Well, well, well, surely did I just hear you say
to a woman what that she doesn't owe her husband
an explanation for cheating.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
I just want to double check that out. Hear Oh
you heard?
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Thank That's all I need to her. Thank you, thank you,
a little bit of validation. Thank you so much. My
own daughter put me on blast. Fifty two year old
married woman. But your husband and he her have been
at odds for some years. Here is the opening line,
because he is a cheater. She said that in the
(04:39):
first opening statement, they have been at.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Odds because he is a cheater.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Next statement, right after that, I never called him. Oh
oh oh, we have a loophole in the contract.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
We have a get out of jail free call.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
We have grounds for dismissal, we have unsubstantiated statements. We
have all of this that I would be using. Right
after you said I never caught him, Then here comes
(05:23):
the proof she thinks she has. But all of his
mannerisms changed and we stopped being intem You didn't mention
that any of your mannerisms might have changed, and you
didn't mention that maybe you stop initiating sex.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
You just dumped it all on him in this letter.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
The argumist got so bad that I stopped talking to him.
Now y'all ain't even talking all together, and focus more
on my kids and my promotion at work. And then
you said, I feel the void in my marriage with
a side piece that happens to work at a car dealership.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
And he is the finest fault.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Now a hell, you the cheetah in the letter, and
you know what proof we have. And at mission of
guilt you said this, You ain't caught heal, but you
said this. So now this letter has turned. When we
(06:28):
come back the results of the leather turney from the
Chief Love Office.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
All right, hang on, Chief Love officer, we'll have part
two of your response, Steve, coming up in twenty three
minutes after subject of today's strawberry letter, my own daughter
put me on blast. We'll get back into it right
after this. You're listening Steve Harvey Morning Show. Hey everyone,

let's recap today's strawberry letter. The subject my daughter my
own daughter put me on blast.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Yeah, this ain't the problem though, No, it's this fifty
hugh old merriedwoman that a with her husband because she
says her husband is a cheating Did she turns around
and says I never called?
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Did she turned around and say it?
Speaker 3 (07:52):
But all his manneries was changed and we stopped being
into them so no, ain't neither one of y'all initiating
sex at the house.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
You are him.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
And the argumentst got so bad that I stopped talking
to him all together. So now she ain't even speaking
to her man at the house and he ain't speaking
to her. Everybody cool with this. You know why everybody
cool with this? Because everybody doing what they want to do.
I could assure you that because ain't no man coming
in the house, you ain't talking to him and sleeping
with him, And then he ain't going somewhere talking.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
And sleeping time talking. Ain't no man.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Walking in no house with no woman that ain't talking
to him or sleeping with him, and he ain't going
somewhere else talking and sleeping.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
I'm with you, who know who?
Speaker 2 (08:39):
You know nothing to do that, Let you move on.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
But then since the arguments got so bad and they
even stop talking, she focused more on her kids and
her promotion at work. Oh no, you didn't, you said
right after that. I feel the boy in my marriage
with a side piece that happens to work at a
car dealership, and and he's as fine as frog here
and he was flirting heavy with me when I bought
a new SUV from him. Oh so now the real
(09:05):
cheatah in this letter with proof is you, and the
proof is you admitted.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
I don't know why you told us this.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
It's stupid in me, but we need people like you
to keep these letters alive.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
So yeah, this segment would have been over if it
wasn't for stupidity. You know we need stupid.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
He euggested that we break in the third row of
my new truck, so we did. For weeks after that,
I would drive through his job and we got busy
in the third row of my truck. I'm sure his
coworkers knew we were having sex. So I was taking
a big risk because one of them go to my church.
(09:47):
So all it took was for somebody to say, let's
break in your third rope.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
So we did. I be that easy.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
I mean taking people to dinner, sending flowers and notes
and boxes with gifts.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
In it, being romantic.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
I can't give me a back row on truck workplace,
and one of them go to my church and I
didn't care.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
She didn't care.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Yeah, sex was too good and it was so much fun.
But after a month of great sex, it all came
to his preaching hall on the day my eight year
old daughter's birthday party, I picked up both of her
friends for the party at skating rink. My daughter got
in the third row to asked you be, and her
friends piled in.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
My husband drove his car.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
When we got to the skating rink, my daughter gave
her dad a cumfling. My husband said it wasn't his comfling,
and he looked directly at me. Well, now why would
he look directly at you?
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Come on, well, let's.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Y'all ain't talking, don't have this sex? So what y'all
ain't doing nothing? So now he'd have found your baby
that found a comflict in the car.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
So now now he won't talk. Now, oh, now you
won't have conversation at the skating rink, right.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
I walked into the skating rink and got the girl
situated in the party room. My husband got all up
in my face and asked me what I had been
doing in my suv and where the.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Comflint came from.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
I ignored him, as you should. My daughter put me
on blasts. Well, your daughter didn't really put you on
your glass. Your daughter found a comflict, and know that
comflicts is normally she's seen her daddy.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
With the cofflicts on right had brought her daddy.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
He go your comfort because the baby don't know y'all
having malt issue. She knows something ain't right, but y'all
acting a little strang. Ain't with each other one. Now,
I know my mam and daddy don't never talk like
your mama's day. But we already know why because y'all
out the screwing the other people. So y'all ain't got
to talk. You've been on that back row of that truck.
(12:13):
Just messing it all up is losing value. Your truck
is losing value. And even if you take that same book,
same truck back to that car dealership with that same
salesman you bought it for, he ain't gonna he know
that the third.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Seat is damaged.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
So now you ain't even gonna get true blue book
value for your because he already No. I'm telling you
this salesman know what's been happening back there in that seat.
Should I come clean with him?
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Come clean? Hell? No, what's wrong with you? It's stupid.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
For the first time, Shirley said, And this why I'm
using this surely who Adam always promotes the truth. Shirley,
who always adam adamantly promotes being true to the other person,
who always wants to know why me and lie to
set up here and told this woman not to say
(13:14):
nothing that is a form of a lie, and how
to support that. You should know, No, you don't owe
him no explanation. Quite comfort me. You ain't never been
on the third row. And you don't know who's been
back there. Some serviceman been back there something. And here's
