We could be reading your letter live on the air.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Just like we're going to read this one right here,
right now, and you never know, it could be yours.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
It could be yours. Bugle up and hold on time.
We got it for you. Here it is Strawberry Letter.
Thank you, nephew. Subject trying to get.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Through the holidays. Dear Stephen Shirley, I'm in love with
another man, and I just need to make it through
the holidays with my current boyfriend so I can dump
him and get with the new guy. But I need
your advice before I let a sure thing go and
move on to a fairy tale lover. I don't want
to leave my current boyfriend just yet, because he is
(00:48):
getting my brakes fixed on my car and he's getting
me a bracelet that I want for Christmas. I already
saw it hiding in his drawer, so I'm doing all
I can to stay faithful until the new ye. My
new man is in a similar situation, but he's married.
He advised me to stay put while he lets his
marriage fizzle on out. He and his wife don't have
(01:10):
any children, so he can make a clean break. We've
been looking at apartments together, but I told him we
might be moving too soon by choosing to move in together.
I agree that I will put the apartment and all
of the utilities in my name until his divorce is finalized.
I told my sister about my excitement over the new guy,
(01:30):
and she wanted to meet him, but he said it's
best to not invite family into our messed up situation until.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
He's out of his marriage.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
My sister took that as a bad sign that he's
going to have me staying in an apartment all by myself,
and he's going to come over and have sex with
me and go right back to his wife. I don't
think that's the case, because this guy is the one
that initiated everything. He pursued me and told me I
deserve to be treated like a queen. Meanwhile, my boyfriend
(02:00):
is not take me out anymore, and he never wants
to have sex. All he does is ask me to
be patient with him because he's working on a master
plan for us. It's been three years and he's not
even ready to live together. Do I start with my
prince or stay with this bump?
Speaker 2 (02:16):
All right?
Speaker 1 (02:17):
I know we've said this before about a lot of
strawberry letters, but I think this is one of the
truly dumbest letters we've had.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
And I hope the men that.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Are listening don't think all women are like this, because
we are not. It's wrong what you're doing to your
current boyfriend, who doesn't take you out anymore, who doesn't
want to have sex with you. Maybe he knows about
the man that you have, this married man. I just say,
if you don't want your boyfriend, let him go. You
ask for advice about leaving your current boyfriend before you
(02:48):
let a sure thing go.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
And here it is.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
I mean, he said he's just waiting for his marriage
to fizzle out.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
I mean, do you hear how stupid that sounds.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
There's no end date, no nothing, no papers in the works, nothing.
Then you volunteer to put the apartment and all of
the utilities in your name. Now, why would you do that?
Why would you do that for a man who's married.
You said he pursued you and said you should be
treated like a queen. Well, yes you should, we all should,
(03:19):
but this is not queen treatment. A queen wouldn't accept
any of this mess. There are way too many red
flags here. Your sister saw them right away when he
said he didn't want to meet her until he got
out of his marriage. That sounded like a cop out
to her, but not to you. You are still making
excuses for him. Listen, this married man is gonna do
(03:41):
just what your sister said. If he's that into you,
then then why not get out of his marriage? Then
get with you, and you should back off until he
gets out of his marriage. You're talking about making all
these moves and he's not available. Okay, he is not
available for you to do this right now, so don't
do it.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Steve.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
I'm so ciious.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
I'm tired, I'm tied. I'm gonna just tell y'all right now,
after I do this strawberry letter, I'm gonna go in
there and lay down. You know, I'm because I'm tired.
I don't I don't know what to keep telling y'all.
I don't know why y'all keep trying me. But today today,
(04:28):
though today ain't today, I ain't the one fault today
let's just get into it. I'm telling you nothing but
raw raw truth, ain w truth. I'm in love with
another man, Okay. I just need to make it through
(04:51):
the holidays with my current boyfriend so I can dump
him and get with the new guy. This letter got
stupid rode on it so far, because right now we're
just talking about a boyfriend. This ain't even a marriage,
and I can dump him to get the new guy.
But I need your advice and hear where I come
(05:13):
here at before I let a sure thing go and
move on to a fairy tale level. So we gonna
let go of the sure thing to go to the
fairy tale level. But let's find out a little bit
about this show thing in this fairy tale level. I
don't want to leave. Listen to this reason right here.
I don't want to leave my carent boyfriend just yet
(05:34):
because he's getting my breaks fixed on my car and
he give me a bracelet I want for Christmas. I'll

breaks and a bracelet. You done put your life on
hold so you can get some breaks and a bracelet.

in this drawer, So I'm doing all I can to

in a similar situation, but he married. Thister got done,
Wow breaks bracelets break up and boyfrid and the folk bees.
(08:59):
Here we go. My new man is in a similar situation,
but he married. He advised me to stay put while
he lets his marriage fizzle own out. What what do
that mean?
Speaker 2 (09:15):
What does that mean?
Speaker 4 (09:16):
I'm gonna let my marriage fizzle on out? Girl? This
ain't a birthday coundle. You can't just wait till your
marriage fizzle out. This ain't one of them sparkles we
used to have when we was kids. You know you lighting,
you waving around till it fizzle out.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
This is marriage. This ain't no damn fire cracker.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
This is marriage. He can't just let it fizzle out.
He got to go to court and they got something
for your little fizzle out ass playing. I can tell
you that right now, I've been dying. Now talk about
you gonna let it fizzle out. They finna help your
ass out, is what they Finn, do this fit the cost?
This ain't you don't let marriage fizzle out. He and
(10:00):
his wife don't have any children, so he can make
a clean break.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
What what did.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
You say you think? Because ain't no kids involved, you
can make a clean break.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Girl. Bye.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
We've been looking at apartments together, but I told him
we might be moving too soon by choosing to move
in together. He not moving in with you. All y'all
been doing is looking at apartments. He can't move in
with you because the marriage ain't fizzled. Our check, it's
still sparkling. Show dumb self. I agreed that I will
(10:38):
put the apartment in all the utilities in my name
until his divorce is finalized. They're gonna stay in your
name even if he do get a divorce.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Who who switched?
Speaker 4 (10:53):
Who? Switched names on apartments and electric bills and all that? Girl,
I can't believe you this signat I told my sister
about my excitement over the new guy, and she wanted
to meet me. But he said it's best not to
invite family into our messed up situation. That's a true
statement until he's out of his marriage. My sister took
(11:14):
that as a bad sign. Your sister stupid too. She
took the fact that he didn't want to meet her
as a bad sign. You don't think the bad sign
is he married. That ain't a bad sign. Also, y'all,
(11:35):
y'all think the bad sign is he didn't want to
meet you. The bad sign is he married, and he
told you he waiting on his marriage to fizzle out.
They ain't got no kids yet, so they're gonna make
a clean break. Let me show you how this marriage
fit insh fizzle, she fit to get pregnant because the
(12:00):
wife don't know nothing about this. This is him telling
you that the marriage is fizzling out. I promise you
that the wife's sitting over there thinking everything is honky doing.
I promise you that. I promise you that all men
that's married that's trying to have an affair with a
woman gonna tell him something wrong at the house. That's
the opening line because we play on the fact that
(12:23):
you all are nurturers by nature and y'all always want
to fix something.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Let me hear him get through with this.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
I don't think that's the case, because this guy is
one that initiated everything. Wait a minute, you don't think
that's the case because he initiated everything girl used to.
He pursued me and told me that I deserve to
be treated like a queen. Well, you're not getting treated
like a queen, though you don't see that. Meanwhile, my
(12:54):
boyfriend does not take me out anymore, and he never
wants to have sex. That's because having sex somewhere else.
Y'all been together three years. All you getting is your
breaks fixed and a bracelet. You ain't getting no wed
and read because you're having sex with somebody else. Let
me tell you how stupid this is. You're in the
(13:14):

boyfriend is dumble, and you the sign.
