She posted a picture of my gifts. She posted a
picture of my gifts. Dear Stephen Shirley, I'm a thirty
three year old single woman and I've been in a
long distance relationship for the past eight months. He pursued me,
and he claimed that he didn't care about the distance
because it was love at first sight for him. I
(00:48):
had strong feelings for him once I got to know him,
but something was keeping me from him from falling head
over heels in love with him. He said it was
hard to get me to soften up and let my
guard down. So I did something that I usually would
never do. I drove two hours to surprise him. Last week,
I snuck in the gate at his complex and I
(01:10):
was sitting in my car in a skin tight dress
when he got home from work. I already made sure
he didn't have plans. That night, I went to a
restaurant by his place and had a big charcuterie board
made for him, and I got expensive champagne and expensive chocolates.
He was very surprised to see me, but not in
a good way. He complained that his house was nasty
(01:32):
and said he didn't want me to see him without
a haircut. When he finally went inside, he asked me
to sit in the kitchen for a while so he
could clean up. After an hour of waiting alone, I
put the cheese and champagne in the fridge and I
left quietly without telling him. I drove two hours back home,
disappointed and sad, but glad that I kept my guard
(01:54):
up with him. He called me seventeen times that night,
but I ignored him because I was done with him
after that. The next night, his ex girlfriend posted a
picture of the gifts that I bought, and she tagged
him in the picture, like he bought this stuff. I
want her to know that he didn't buy that for her,
I did. I am ready to expose him. Should I
(02:17):
tell his ex? How do I get revenge on him? Okay, listen.
By leaving him after being in that kitchen for an
hour and being done with him, like you said, that's
really all the revenge you need. You made the right decision.
You trusted your instincts by not going all in with him.
You said something was keeping you from falling ahead over
(02:39):
heels in love with him, So you trusted your instincts.
You didn't do like a whole lot of other women
and ignore the red flags you saw them early on.
That's major women stay in relationships way too long because
they ignored those signs, the very obvious red red flags.
Because you know, we always think we can change a man.
We talk a lot about this on this show, about
(03:00):
that on this show, and we just end up getting hurt.
So if you're over it, be over it. That means
leaving him, leaving her to posts all of that on
social media, all that let it go. Who cares if
she knows you bought the stuff? Who cares if you
expose him? That's like backtracking on a man you said
yourself you were done with so prove it. Be done
(03:21):
with him. Keep your word, and I'll say it again,
be done with him, Tommy, don't nobody won't.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
No damn charcuti reboy. Ain't about all this cheese. You
just stopping that man up. He don't want all this cheese,
all these meats. He just backed up, all all this
backed up foods. You got chocolate and chocolate and cheese
and these little meats that ain't cooked. And you just
(03:48):
you think you're doing something that none nobody want all that.
You got this man all backed up. That man want
a housekeeper. You see his house is nasty. That man
needs somebody to clean up around there. And here you
is coming up there with more food. We don't need
all that. We need somebody to clean up. We need
a house keeper. And so if you want to help out, fine,
(04:09):
If you don't, let's get to the part that you want.
You say you want revenge, Well you come to the
right place because I am petty. I am petty, and
I am the man that can help you get through it.
So that's what I want you to do. You know,
he calls seventeen times trying to get things, trying to
work things out. You didn't pick up the phone. You
really threw with him, but you mad because he done
(04:30):
gave the stuff to his eggs and now she posting
it like he done done something special for her. Get
back in his life for just a few days. That's
what I want you to do. Okay, Get back in
his life for a few get things going real well.

She's single. She's been in a long distance relationship with
a guy for the past eight months. He lives about
two hours from her. She said he pursued her. It
was love at first sight. She wasn't head over heels
in love with him because just something was keeping her
(07:20):
from that. She didn't know what it was, but something
was keeping her from that. He told her it was
hard because she had her guard up, so you know,
she tried to she tried to soften herself up a
little bit. She drove two hours to surprise him. She
snuck in his gate at his complex. She had a
charcuterie board, She had some cheese, some champagne. She had
(07:41):
on a skin tight dress. She knew he didn't have
anything to do that night, so she was at his
house when he got home from work. He was surprised
to see her, she said, but it wasn't a good surprise,
not in a good way. So he asked her to
come inside and sit in the kitchen because his house
was nasty and he wanted to clean up up. She said,
she sat in that kitchen for a whole hour. After that,
(08:04):
she left and she said she was done with him.
Then she looked on social media and some woman had
posted the gifts she brought for him on social media,
thinking he brought her though he bought her the gifts
for her, and she wants to expose him. This woman
wants revenge, so she wants to know should she tell
his ex and how does she get revenge on him?
