Speaker 2 (00:26):
Thank you nephew. Subject new year knew me.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
Dear Stephen Shirley, I have been married for eleven years
and can honestly say that I trusted my wife and
loved her unconditionally. But now I'm questioning our commitment because
she lied and withheld information. The week before Christmas, she
and her best friend went to Orlando to do some
Christmas shopping and she transferred thousands of dollars to her

(00:53):
personal account, like six thousand dollars. But I was cool
with it because she works hard and she is a
great While she was gone, I took the kids to
Tennessee to visit with my parents. My wife and I
were both distracted, so we didn't talk much during the
few days we were apart. I told her that I
would be back in time to pick her up from

(01:13):
the airport, but she said she would ride with her
best friend. When I got home, she was lying on
the couch, bandaged from her boobs to her thighs. She
stood up as best she could, and our six year
old started crying over how bad my wife looked. My
wife started crying and admitted that she had lied about

(01:33):
being in Orlando. She said she wanted to surprise me
with a mommy makeover, which is a breast lift and
butt injections as well as liposuction.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
She was in so much pain she could barely speak.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
I told her I never wanted a big booty wife
or breast sitting at attention, and it made her cry
even more.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
I felt terrible.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
Because I was upset that she lied and used our
savings for that nonsense, just so she could look like
women like the women on social media. My wife was
slim and perfect like she was, so she did this
for herself. She's upset with me because I'm not thrilled
with the outcome. Should I fake the funk with her
and pretend to like her new body.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
Or keep it real. Well, happy new year to you.
Not quite the.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
New year you were expecting, though, you know what I
just say this. There's always been a lot of pressure
for women to always look beautiful, to stay young, to
be in shape, and of course social media amplifies that
even more women do compare themselves to other women.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
All of that. You know, now, was your wife wrong? Yes?

Speaker 1 (02:46):
I think so in this instance because she lied to you.
She took the money without telling you, and what she
did with is she can't really take it back or
fix anything. She can't give you a refund or anything,
but she doesn't want to do that. There should have
been a discussion beforehand, yes, of course, but she knew
that you would have never agreed to her having surgery.

(03:09):
She knew that you said you called it nonsense, but
to your wife it was not nonsense. I mean, was
it selfish? Yes, of course it was selfish. And you're
right again because she did this for herself and only herself.
But she wanted to look good and feel good about herself.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
But she wanted you to like it too.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
I mean, this is a tough one because how do
you come back with this when every time you look
at her you're reminded of what she did.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
She took the money and she lied to you.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
I'm sure part of your concern is the fact that
she's in so much pain right now. But I got
to tell you that'll eventually go away. The swelling will
go down barring no complications, and she'll be fine. Many
women have gone through this and they're fine. Then you
will have to deal with the other issue, the fact
that you don't like big boobs and booties.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
I say and see.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
Hopefully you know the surgery will be proportioned to her
slim physique, as you say, but maybe she didn't feel
like she was slim. This is something she wanted to
do for herself. Maybe you'll grow to like it because
you say you love her unconditionally.

Speaker 4 (04:15):
Steve, Well, we got a little dilimma working in this
letter right here.

Speaker 3 (04:19):
I'm gonna try to work through it. You know, y'all
been married.

Speaker 4 (04:21):
Eleven years and you say you honestly can say you
trusted your wife.

Speaker 3 (04:26):
That's cooling.

Speaker 4 (04:28):
But now you questioned the commitment because she lied and
with held information. Well, that's most people, Dog, that's most people.
Most people lie, and most people will withhold information. I
have with hell, many many bits of information in my

(04:48):
life and will continue to do so as a matter
of fact, just to make you feel a little bit better.
I got some information and I'm gonna take to the grave.
I already knew it, never gonna share it. No need
to be bringing it up personal. That happened, it popped off.
It was before social media, and I thank the Lord
for that. We're gonna take this to the grave. Sometimes

(05:10):
God gives you a blessing. It's wrapped up in secrecy,
it and it is hiding. It's not true that everything
comes to light. God will allow some things to stay
in the darkness because he'd have forgave you for it,
and he's just gonna leave it there. Now, that's what
I'm the beneficiary of. And I think that you might
have to start to learning at yourself. A week before Christmas,

(05:32):
she had her best friend went to Orlando do some
Christmas shopping. She transferred thousands of dollars to her personal account,
like six k. But I was cool with it because
she works hard and she's a great mom.

Speaker 3 (05:45):
Now let's just stop right there. For a moment, you thought.

Speaker 4 (05:49):
She just transferred sixth grand and was gonna do some
Christmas shopping, but she was cool with it because she's
a great mom and she works really hard.

Speaker 3 (05:59):
Now, while they was going, when.

Speaker 4 (06:00):
You took kids up Tennessee, you a good father, took
kids up Tennessee visit your parents, and you and your
wife was distracted, so we didn't talk much doing the
next few days.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
Told i'd be home pick up from the airport. She said,
I sided, I'm a ride home with my friend. You
got home.

Speaker 4 (06:17):
She was laying on the couch, boundary bandage from her
boobs to her thighs. She stood up best she could,
and the six year old started crying because of how
bad the wife look. Now it's where we're gonna get
into what the lies about. When we come back, we'll
address the lie that she told and the lie that

(06:40):
he told.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
All right, we'll have part two of Steve's response coming
up at twenty three minutes after the hour Strawberry letter
subject for today, new Year Knew Me. We'll get back
into it right after this. You're listening hard Morning show.
All right, Come on, Steve, let's recap today's strawberry letter.
The subject is new Year Knew Me.

Speaker 4 (07:01):
Well, this couple right here, he loves his wife. They'd
been married eleven years, very trusting until recently. What happened
the week before Christmas, her the best friend went to
Orlando do some Christmas shop and she transferred thousands of
dollars like six grand to her account. He said he
was cool with it because she's a good mom and
she's hard working, so he didn't really have a problem

(07:21):
with the six thousand early on in the letter.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
But then while they were.

Speaker 4 (07:27):
Gone, he the kids up to Tennessee to see his parents,
and he was talking that he'd be back pick up
from the airport. She said, Now she ride home with
a friend. When you got home to the house, she
was laying on the solfage bandage from her boobs all
the way down to her thighs. She stood up the
best she could, and the six year old started crying

(07:48):
because of how bad the wife look.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
Then your wife started crying and she admitted she lied.

Speaker 4 (07:54):
Here we go now, Like I told you before, it's
two lies told in this letter.

Speaker 3 (07:59):
He told her lie.

Speaker 4 (08:00):
She told lot. My wife started crying a minute. She
lied about being on a Lando. She said she wanted
to surprise me with a mommy makeover, which is a
breast lift and butt injections as well as liposuction. Now,
before we get into this, I want to address the

(08:20):
word liposuction. I when I first read it, thought they
said liposuction, which I had to consider myself getting at
one point in time, I said, they can do something
with these lips. Let me look into it. Liposuction. It's
really liposuction. But when I read it, I thought it
was liposuction, and I thought, well, that could be helpful me.

(08:44):
But then it's really not because you don't want to
take this out your lips, because then you'll have what
I call white mouth, and that's not what I'm after.
I don't want to have white mouth. I don't want
to keep on having these big, full fat juicy know
how to make them work?

Speaker 2 (09:02):
Little anyone not about you?

Speaker 3 (09:05):
Well, i'll tell you what. Don't get them put on
your beat.

Speaker 4 (09:08):
This life change and it's life change, and hey, you're
looking for me, Okay, anyway, let's get on back to that.
So she lied about being in Orlando, so that means
she wasn't in Orlando. And if you done got a liposuction,
booty implants and breast implants for six thousand, your ass

(09:30):
was out the country.

Speaker 3 (09:32):
You can't get. Yeah, I'm gonna tell you this right now.
You can't get all that for six, breast.

Speaker 4 (09:39):
Booty and liposuction for six. You was in Guatemala or somewhere.
You was in nick A Rock, or you was somewhere else.
But she was not in the United States. Not no,
damn Miami. I'm gonna tell you right now, they ain't
got that in Miami for six. You got to go
out the country. That's what I think. And if you

(10:00):
do get it for six, it ain't gonna be a
good one. So she was in so much pain she
could barely speak. I told her I never wanted a
big booty wife or breast sitting up at attention.

Speaker 3 (10:12):
Now that's a lot. That's a damn.

Speaker 4 (10:16):
Lie, girl, that she lied about where she was. But
you come talking about I never want a big booty
wife or breath sitting up at attention. You need to
wait the damn bandages come off, because this might be
the Christmas, the best Christmas your ass ever had.

Speaker 3 (10:34):
You need to stop crying.

Speaker 4 (10:35):
You tripping down now, you'd have made her feel worse,
which made her cry even more. I felt terrible, but
I was just upset that she lied and used our
savings for that nonsense. Now, let's slow down, bro. Now, admittedly,
I think that couple should talk, especially when somebody gonna
go under the knife and go hand search. I think

(10:57):
you really need to talk to your spouse about that
because so many times these surgeries go wrong, you know,
and you put your family in jeopardy.

Speaker 3 (11:06):
That was a huge mistake.

Speaker 4 (11:08):
Now, her intentions was good, though I felt terrible because
she lied and used our savings for that. My wife
was slim and perfect the way she was, so she
did this for herself. She's upset with me because I'm
not thrilled with the outcome.

Speaker 3 (11:23):
You know. Now, let me where is the part in
the letter where she said she could badly walk?

Speaker 2 (11:28):
Where she said what.

Speaker 3 (11:30):
She said in the letter she did a mommy makeover.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
She wanted to surprise him with the mommy makeover.

Speaker 3 (11:35):
Which is where is that line at?

Speaker 1 (11:37):
Surely it's right after she started crying and admitted that
she said.

Speaker 4 (11:41):
She wanted to surprise me with a mommy makeover, which
is a breast lift, but injections and life o such,
all that for six ooh unless she was in line
at a day's end, because I know they were doing
booty injections in Atlanta.

Speaker 3 (11:58):
At a day's end. You just stand outside on the
porch till it was your turn.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
And that person got caught and went to jail, didn't they. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
it was a six.

Speaker 4 (12:08):
So you got to be careful about pricing. It's hard
to get a brand new, cold blooded body for six.
Most breasted plants is more than six. You can get
one one.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
For six, but this is about the lightest.

Speaker 3 (12:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (12:26):
I strongly suggest you get two, though, because that ain't bresting.
You don't want to do one at a time, because
something to check it. Come on, go back in there
and get that other way because you didn't. Now you
sitting over here looking like a little unicorn. That ain't good.
But for you to lie and say you don't want
a big booty wife with breast the stand up at attention, that's.

Speaker 3 (12:44):
A damn list.

but I do want some booty.
