Speaker 1 (00:12):

it could be yours.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
It could be yours. Buckle up and hold on tight.
We got it for you. Here it is Strawberry Letter.
All right, nephew, thank you. Subject. Why did he open
this big mouth?
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Dear Stephen Shirley, I've been married for thirteen years and
we've had more good days than bad. I have two
beautiful children, and that is why I struggled so hard
to keep my marriage going. I've found out recently that
he's been hiding money and he's got a girlfriend. I've
overlooked a lot of foul stuff he does, and this
(00:49):
is no different. I just didn't want our children to
find out the way they did. Last Friday, I got
a call from my fifteen year old son telling me
that his daddy had a lady in our formal living room,
and he said they were talking over a business deal.
He told my son to go outside and shoot hoops
with his best friend. My son texted me and said
(01:10):
his dad put him out till his company left. I
rushed to the house and the woman was gone. My
son was still outside with his best friend shooting basketball.
I went inside and my husband said the lady had
a proposal for him to join her company. He said
it was none of my business until they worked out
the details. We started arguing so loudly that my son
(01:33):
went and got his best friend's mom and they all
came inside the house in front of everybody. My husband
said that he loves the other woman, and I know
he loves the woman, so stop acting like I'm all surprised.
Huh huh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. My son and
his best friend went back outside. I had to face
(01:55):
the best friend's mom, who hates me and was almost
smiling at the news. I thanked her for coming, and
I asked her to leave. She was being fake and
acted concern while my sweet husband was reminding me, reminding
her that I hate her guts. The news spread quickly
and now I feel like everybody is laughing at me,
(02:15):
and I feel pressure to react. Why did he have
to open his big mouth in front of her. Is
this a wake up call from the higher power? Please advice?
You got to be worried about more than him opening
up his mouth in front of her. You should be
concerned about what he said. And I'm really trying to
figure this part out. You're asking us to please advice.
(02:38):
What do you want Steve and I to advise you
on specifically, because the only advice I can give you
is how to pack his stuff and kick him out,
because clearly this marriage is over and I know you're
not thinking of taking him back and all of that
when he had this woman in your house and proclaimed
(03:00):
his love for her in front of you, his wife,
your son, your son's best friend, and his mother who
hates you. Furthermore, your husband said it should have been
of no surprise to you because you knew he loved
the other woman. Huh. So, if all this is true,
are you taking this crap just so you can stay
(03:20):
in this marriage like you have been for thirteen years?
You say it's for the kids, but it's more than that.
Just to say you have a husband. This man has
been lying to you, He's been hiding money from you.
He's not worth all this losing yourself and all that. Yes,
it is a wake up call. You know the truth
for real now, for real, for real, because you have
(03:42):
seen it and heard it from him. Don't just stay
with him in the sham of a marriage and allow
him to treat you any old kind of way. This
marriage is over, Steve.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
I don't heard some things in this job he letter. Yeah,
but this will right here.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
I don't even know if I'm be get to it's
so much. I want to unpack this letter because it's
just this.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
That is just hell. This is a letter.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
I've been married thirteen years. We've had more good days
than bad. That right there is not true. Uh anyway,
I have two beautiful children. That's why I struggle so
hard to keep this marriage going. See, you can't say
we've had more good days than bad and then say
that's why I struggle to keep his marriage going. I
found out recently he's been hiding money. Well, okay that
(04:28):
I advise most guys take a little bit and stash
it on the side. I advise most women take a
little bit, stash it on the side. That's why I
advise it full bank accounts so you don't have to stash.
You can just have your money. And I found out
recently he's been hiding money and he's got a girlfriend.
Now this way, we're starting to run into problem. You
(04:49):
can hide money, but you got to do a better
job of hiding at helfer. I'm telling you, Pardner, you
you hiding money. You ain't good at hiding. Let me
just say that right there, because she know about the
money and the damn girlfriend, and she said, I just
didn't want our children to find out the.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Way they did.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
She got a call from a fifteen year old son
last Friday. He told her that his daddy had a
lady in their living room and they was talking over
a business deal. Okay, right there is the beginning of
the term. You done lost your damn mind. See right there, dog,
(05:29):
you don't bring the problem to the house. He told
my son go outside and play basketball with his best friend.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
My son text me and told me that is that. Look.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
First of all, your daddy then told you your son
is trying to warn you. Mama. Mama, just don't look
because he's fifteen. He at that age now. My son
texted me and said dad put him out to the
company left. I rushed her the house, the woman was gone,
my son was outside with his best friend. I went inside.
My husband said, the lady had a proposal for him
to join her company. Okay, he said, it's none of
(06:05):
my business until he worked out the details. This is
the second part of you that lost your damn mind.
You can't tell your wife that another woman was in
her house and it ain't none of her damn business. Boy,
you should have prepared better for this. Right here, we
started auguing so loudly. My son went and got his
(06:26):
best friend as mom because it sounded like y'all y'all
was really arguing. He said, let me go get some
help because it looked like it looked like they finish
kill each other.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Hang up.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
They came inside and in front of everybody. When we
come back, I'm gonna tell you what this food said.
Speaker 2 (06:39):

a lady been married thirteen years and got two kids.
That's why she struggled to keep our marriage going. But
she say her, she've had more good days than bad days.
But she's struggling to keep it going because he's always
doing some file stuff. Recently found out that he been
hiding money. Okay, cool, that's okay, And he got a
(07:23):
girlfrid dog. You got to do a better job of hiding.
You can't hide money all your girlfriend, but you have
got to do a better job of hiding his Hell,
I'm just telling you that right now. Anyway, I overlooked
a lot of file stuff he does. Now see, that's
why I know this ain't a good marriage. She says,
I've overlooked a lot of file stuff he does, and
(07:43):
this is no different. So she been compromising herself just

house is the girlfriend. We find that out, so he
done lost his damn mind. He told his son go
outside and play basketball with his best friend. His son
went out inside and said, Mama, he told me to
go outside and play basketball with my best friend. Your
(08:25):
son is letting you know this. This feels real fishy, mama,
and he owned the mama's side. I rushed to the house.
The woman was gone. My son was outside with his
best friend shooting basketball. I went inside and the lady.
She and their husband said the lady had a proposal
for him to join her company. He said it was
(08:46):
none of my business until he worked out the details. Okay,
dog like I said, the first way he lost his
mind was he brought this woman to the house. Second
thing he told his wife wasn't none of your damn
business work out the details. Okay, your mind is completely
gone at this point, but he takes it a step further.
(09:06):
We started August so loudly that my son went and
got his best friends mama, let me go over here
and get my friends, mama, because it sounds like they
finish kill each other in this house, so let me
go get a witness in him.

before completely and didn't have the guts to say that.
My son and his best friend went back outside. I
had to face the best friend's mom, who hates me
(10:22):
and was almost smiling at the news. I thanked her
for coming, and I asked her to leave. She was
being fake and acting concerned while my sweet husband was
