Speaker 2 (00:23):
All right, ladies and Gentlemen's time for the Strawberry Little.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
My good friend, Shirley Strawberry.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Thank you, my good friend. Junior subject, How did I
miss this over the years? How did I miss this
over the years? Here's Stephen Shirley. I am forty nine
years old. I'm a married woman, and I've known my
husband for many years. He's sixty two, and we met
through a mutual friend who was a big recreational drug user.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Back in the day.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
That friend was always the life of the party because
he had his pills to keep him happy. My husband
and I laughed about the friend back then because all
we did was smoke marijuana. Now I think that my
husband is doing a little more than that. Some days
his eyes are red and some days his eyes are
swollen looking, he said, it's allergies, but he's never had allergies.
(01:14):
Then I noticed that my cash would be short in
my purse. I still prefer to use cash over my
debit card, so I keep at least one hundred dollars
in cash. I could not accuse my husband of stealing
from me because I leave my person my cubicle at
work unattended a lot. Anyone in my office could have
taken my money. My sister in law said that my
(01:35):
coworkers didn't steal my money. It was my husband, who
is her brother. She said he used to borrow money
from her, but he ruined that privilege by not paying
her back a few times. She said that he's always
been on some kind of pills, but he was able
to keep it under control, but now it's getting bad
because he has too much free time on his hands.
(01:56):
He does sleep a lot during the day, and he's
wired at now, and he likes to cook big meals
at night. I wanted to see for myself if he'd
steal from me, so I left some cash and the
top of my purse. He took that money within two hours.
When I asked him about it, he said he was
going to use it for groceries. How could I be
living with him and not know about the drugs? Should
(02:19):
I confront him or leave? Well, honestly, it's not hard
to miss what your husband has been doing because guess
what I mean, you're not really looking for that. To you,
it's simply inconceivable to think that your own husband would
do such a thing. But it's staring right at you,
and you didn't want to believe the truth. You want
(02:39):
to think it's everyone else but him, your coworkers, the kids, friends, whoever,
Just not this man that you sleep with every night
and you trust with your life. But your sister in
law told you it was him, and he's doing this
right under your nose because he knows you trust him
like that. But then it starts happening so much it
becomes obvious that it can't be anyone else but him.
(03:03):
Then reality sets in, Yes, it's him, it's my husband.
He already did it to his sister. Then you set
a trap in your purse for him, and that money
was gone in two hours flat. So you see, that's
how things can happen when you're living with a man
and not know your husband needs some serious help. Should
(03:24):
you confront him you ask, yes, of course you should
confront him and ask him what's going on. He's your husband.
You have a right to do that, but just keep
in mind he's going to lie to you about everything.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
You'll never get the truth.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Steve Well, I appreciate you writing a letter here, but
at the end of all of what Shirley read, your
question is should I confront him or leave? I don't
see how you don't breach the subject, don't. I don't
see how you how you haven't bought it up yet.
(03:58):
You either love your husband and you want to help him,
or you want to leave him.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
That's really up to you.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
You know, I didn't hear nothing about you all having
a great relationship. He's a loving husband, he's a wonderful father,
he takes care of you.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
All that said, all of them, and know is he still?
That's all I know?
Speaker 2 (04:16):
And he's sixty two and you're living with a sixty
two year old thief. You said you like to keep
cash in your pocket, so you always got a hundred,
Well that's gone too. You say you leave your person
alone in your cubicle let work, so it could be
one of your coworkers.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Where you live whay you work? Who do that?
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Put your person in your draw? What you doing? This
is the United States of America. You don't live on
fantasy island over in Fiji nowhere, ain't nobody stealing nothing.
You live in a city where people can steal and
drive off. See if you live on an island, it's
less deff on an island because you can't go nowhere.
(05:00):
We can come over your house, or we will run
around in a circle, but we gonna see you, you lady,
and you're his best friend. Was the life of the party,
a huge recreational drug user. Birds of a feather flock together.
If you keep associating with bad people, you gonna become
(05:20):
one of them. All you have to do. Somebody describes
this to me one time. Somebody said, Steve, write your closest,
five closest friends named on a piece of paper. I
did it. He said, Now describe who they are, what
type of person they are, what they do.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
I did it. He said, cool. Now that's you right there.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
He said, that's who you are because see your friends,
you get to pick them. He didn't ask me who
was my five closest family members? He said friends, because
you picked them your husband picked the extreme recreational drug user,
(06:06):
and y'all laughed at him because all y'all did was
smoke weed. Well, they're doing more than that now. His
eyes are swollen.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
A city analogy.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
She said. He ain't never had no allergy. He fiended.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
You need to find out what he's taking, because that
ain't weed. People don't steal for weed. That's most weed smokers. Now,
I ain't never seen nobody steal for weed.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
All Right, we'll have part two of Steve's response coming
up at twenty three minutes to after the hour. Today's
Strawberry Letters subject how did I miss this over the years.
We'll get back onto it.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
