We got it for you. Here. It is the Strawberry
Letter subject what will she do next? Dear Stephen Shirley,
I have never written into a show before, so be
(00:43):
easy on me. I'm married to a woman that I
did not date long enough. In the beginning. She told
me she is very religious type of a woman because
she knows I'm a preacher's kid. She would let me
touch her below the waist or do anything until our
wedding night. I was so into her because she said
all of the right things. She cooked the foods I like,
(01:04):
and she kept a clean house. I proposed to her
last Christmas, and we got married as a courthouse a
week later because of COVID. She moved in and everything changed.
I came home a few days a few days after
our wedding, and she had changed my bedroom furniture out
with a bedroom set that her grandmother left for her.
(01:25):
She said she was waiting to get married so she
could get it out of storage and sleep in the
same bed her grandparents conceived her mother in. That was
the first inkling I had that she might have some
loose fruits. Then she put Christmas lights in the trees
in my front yard and every night she lights them up,
no matter what time of year it is. She leaves
(01:47):
bedcrumbs breadcrumbs for birds on the back patio, and now
I have bird droppings all over my nice patio furniture.
There are also three stray cats that live in my
back yard because she feeds them too. The worst part
is that the sex that I waited for is not
all of that. She drinks till she's sloppy drunk, and
(02:09):
that's the only way she will sleep with me. Yes,
the Holy Act was affront because this woman makes Martini
every night, and I know there's weed in the house,
but I've never seen her smoke it. I am wondering
what my wife will do next. I want to make
this work, but I don't know if I should. Is
it time to walk away from her? Wow? Well this
(02:32):
marriage has started off wrong already. Yeah, your wife shouldn't
just change things without discussing it with you and all
of that. I mean, she's no longer single. She has
someone else to consider in her life, and I'm consuming.
I'm assuming that this furniture from her grandmother that she
got out of storage and put in your room is
(02:53):
probably old and ugly. They're old. Oh you know that
furniture old and but the question is are you mad
that she changed it? Or are you just mad that
the furniture is just ugly? Because that's not the worst
thing in the world. It's very inconsiderate on her part,
I'll say, But do you even do you love her?
(03:15):
I mean, what's going on here? You know, I don't
see you mentioned that at all in your letter. I mean,
because you guys can learn each other sexually, if that's
not popping, you can learn that, you know. But if
there is no love and you don't have a foundation,
this is not gonna work. I mean, no matter what
she does, you got to decide if these things that
(03:37):
she's doing our deal breakers. I mean, can you live
with all this craziness, the grandma's furniture, the cats in
the backyard, the drinking, the bird poop on the patio set, etc.
You know, you got to decide if those are deal
breakers or not. You know, and if she really is crazy,
that's the only thing I can say to you. You know,
you got to talk to her, just like you wrote
(03:58):
this letter to us, and just see where she is.
It really doesn't sound like, uh, I don't know, you
like each other very much right now. She's drinking every
night Martini's and everything. She's she does have some issues.
She can't get with you unless she's drunk. These are
problems that you, guys should have hashed out before you
(04:19):
got married. The future doesn't look bright for you guys
right now, so you need to go ahead and deal
with it because it sounds like you got one foot
out of the door already. Steven. Yeah, well, well, I
appreciate everything you said, Shelly, nice approach to this letter, everything,
but this is one of the moments why I'm gonna
do what I promised to be at the beginning of
the year. I'm gonna be pointed, pointing and judgmental. This
(04:45):
is what this is. This is pointed. H I don't
know why are we trying to play this any other way,
but this right here has to happen, and so I
just want to deal with it. According to what will
she do next? Well, what hell she's doing right now?
(05:06):
Because what she's doing right now is everything? And I
mean everything. You know this woman right here, man off
the shame with it, So now listen to me. First
of all, he said, I've never written into a show before,
so be easy on me. Well, first of all, let's
just say, ain't nobody ever wrote into a show before?
(05:30):
It ain't nobody ever done that? So this ain't no
public service announcement you back, no, no, no, no no, no, no,
that I ain't never wrote into a show before? Who had? Yeah,
but you think they had wrote one before? And on
the show trying to help nobody but us. Secondly, so
(05:51):
be easy on me. That's not gonna happen. Man. A
woman that I didn't date long enough in the beginning,
she was religious, she know your preacher's kid. She wouldn't
let you touch it below the waist, not into the
wed night because you was into it, because she did
all the right things she could, food, she kept clean house.
(06:14):
You proposed to her last Christmas, we got married on
the court house. A week later, calls of COVID, she
moved in and everything changed. Now the night of the
letter is what will she do next? Damn that when
we come back, I'm defiting to go over the threefold
things she'd have done. And my question is why is
(06:35):
yo asked? Still down? That's all this letter about? Without
hang back, watch this hang up. See we'll have part
two of your response coming up in twenty three minutes
after subject what will she do next? We'll get into
it right after this. You're listening Steve Harvey Morning Show.
All right, come on, Steve, let's recap today's Strawberry letters,
(06:58):
subject what will she do next? Well, I don't know
what she's gonna do next, but we're here to talk
about what she did now, and so now let's just
gonna get to it. She wouldn't let you touch her
below the waist before you're marriage. You finally married this
praise and health of and then you proposed to home
Christmas calls the COVID A week lady y'all got married,
(07:19):
she moved in and everything changed. Well, Holmie, let's talk
about what has changed. I came home a few days
after I went, and then she had changed my bedroom
furniture out with the bedroom set that her grandma left
for her. She says she was waiting to getting married
so she could get it out of storage and sleep
in the same bed her grandparents conceived her mother in.
(07:43):
What what? What? What did you say? A right? You
want to sleep in the same band that your grandparents
conceived your mother? Where did you get this old ass
(08:04):
bed from my old? Is this damn bed all these
old ass bid with bringing them on carvings in it?
And or this old, this slaver ass style mattress. I'll
take something. See if you get in the bed that
damn old that your grandparents conceived your mama in. That
(08:27):
was before mattress technology had even struck. So now you're
in here sleeping on a slave ass mattress with no technology.
You know, ain't no you roll this way and the
calls react to your body. You've seen all them cursed,
you know. Dak Prescott on the commercial Postupelo sedic, you know,
thermogenic therapeutic. All it wasn't none of that. All they
(08:49):
did was take some sheets, sow them together, and stuff
some damn cotton in it pocket. That's what I would

on to the bed post by sleeping this ragged ass bed.
Then she put Christmas lights in the trees in your
front yard, and every light, no matter what time is,
(09:55):
she plugged the lights up. What did you do it?
You just got Christmas lights up in the trees. Then
she got these bread crumbs she put out in the
back patio and now you got bird droppers all over
the bread. And then to offset the amount of birds
this health of the ball. These three straight cats in
they're live in the backyard and eat the birds. Yea,
