It could be yours. Buckle up and hold on tight.
We got it for you. Hear it is Strawberry letter.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Well, thank you, nephew. And the subject is why is
our friendship confusing to him? Dear Stephen Shirley, my ex
husband and I didn't speak for four years after our divorce.
Our daughter graduated from college and she told me that
her dad got an airbnb and I was welcome to
stay with him. I'm always trying to save money, so
(00:48):
I called him to see if he was cool with
me staying with him. Not only did he offer me
the extra bedroom, he said I could ride with him.
So we struck out and on the way to the
graduation we laughed and talked like the good old days.
He let me have the big bedroom at the airbnb,
so I did all of the cooking. He said he
(01:09):
missed talking to me and the great sex. I acted
like I didn't hear that. He respected my space all weekend.
On the way home, he asked if we could keep
in touch. I told him it was fine. A week
passed and I didn't hear from him. Then out of nowhere,
he called me and told me to let up the
garage because he had a bottle of vodka and a pizza.
(01:32):
I reluctantly let him come in and we watched a movie.
He kept hinting on how good we were together and
how he hasn't had great sex since we divorced. Since
we got divorced, I told him that we're friends, so
he had to stop talking about the past because we're
better as just friends. After that, we didn't talk for
(01:52):
a few weeks. Then he called me and said he
just showered and he was naked and asked me if
I wanted to FaceTime with him. I was so disgusted
that I yelled at him. He said that sex is
common with exes, and he insisted that he was coming over.
I told him that if he did, I would call
the police. I am shocked that he thinks I want
(02:13):
to hook up with him. He said, I'm sending him
mixed signals? Why is our friendship confusing to him? Is
it best to forget about him again? Well, you never
told us why you broke up in the first place,
But yes, it is better to forget about him if
you don't want him. Clearly, he wants the sex and
benefits without the strings. So if you're not trying to
(02:35):
get back with him, tell him it's a hard no
for you and mean it. Don't try to be his friend,
don't try to engage him in any kind of way,
riding up, getting in his airbnb, all of that. He
wants to sleep with you, period. He's too aggressive with
the two open the garage, I got vodka and pizza.
What he should at least truy. He should at least
(02:59):
try to row me. It's you, come on here, I
got this. All he wants to do is that that
he says it's uncommon for exus to have sex, and
you know, for ex it's not uncommon for exus to
have sex. And since he accused you of sending mixed signals,
(03:20):
please get him straight. Tell him you are not interested
in ever getting back together with him. Like Taylor, Swift said,
and her song is nothing mixed about that. He should
understand that.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Steve, y'all so crazy? What is wrong with all y'all?
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Huh for writing a letter? You for trying to explain
the letter. Let me just go and get to this

(12:28):
He ain't ry at bottle of voxa, so y'all could
be friends. If he was trying to be your friend,
he'd have brought you a new copy of Jesus Calling
by Sarah Young. He ain't trying to be your friend.
He came over there with a bottle of vodka. Yeah,
he didn't come over there with no Bible. You don't
know what bible study. We're gonna do scriptures. He came
over there.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
With a bottle of vodka.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
Got some goots open there with that great goose. After that,
we didn't talk for a few weeks. Then he called
me and said he just showered and he was naked
and asked me if I wanted to FaceTime with him.
I was so disgusted that I yelled at him. He
said that sex is coming with XS, and he insisted
(13:10):
he was coming over. I told him if he did,
I would call the police. I'm shocked that he thinks
I want to hook up with him. He said, I'm
sending him mixed signal. The miss signal was when you
went down there and stayed in at am b up
the hallway. That's what's the mixed signal. When you open
up the door and let him in with that vok
in that pizza, that was the mixed signal. Why is
our friendship confusing him because he don't want to be
(13:30):
your friend?
