Speaker 3 (00:23):
That's right, ladies, and Jonah's time for the Strawberry Letter
with my good friend Shirley Strawberry.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Thank you my good friend, Junior, and welcome back. Subject
does my husband know I'm cheating? Dear Stephen, Shirley, I'm
no angel, but I don't deserve how my ex lover
is acting. My husband of seventeen years is a cheater
and I think he has a girlfriend now, but I'll
never leave him because I love him. Instead, I called
(00:49):
myself getting some loving on the side from one of
my husband's friends. After eight months of fooling around, the
guy started liking me too much, so I cut him off.
I stopped having sex with him about a month ago.
He called me crying so much that I had to
block him. I also blocked him from all of my
social media accounts. Last week, he showed up at my
(01:11):
hair salon and paid for my hair, just like he
always did. He waited for me in the parking lot,
and I walked past him and ignored him. I think
that is what made him snap. He told my sister
that he was going to fight for me to be his.
For days, I was worried about what he might do.
What's crazy is that he was still real cool with
(01:32):
my husband this whole time. He's even mentioned to my
husband that he's seeing someone new. I must have really
put it on this man, because he snapped.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Last night.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
He showed up at my mama's house while my husband
and I were over there. I walked outside to smoke
a cigarette and this man was parked in mama's driveway.
My husband came outside and was glad to see him
and asked how he knew where we were. I was panicking,
but that was calm and collected when he told my
husband that he was just passing by. My husband looked
(02:05):
at both of us and then smiled and went back
inside like he figured it all out.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
He hasn't said a word to me.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Should I tell my husband everything that's happened between us?
Or does he already know? Well, I mean sometimes you can.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Sometimes I know why are you're laughing? Okay, I know
why you're laughing.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Sometimes you can tell what's going on by a look
or the energy in the air. So maybe your husband
figured it out because it was too much of a
coincidence with his friend just.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Popping up like that.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
I mean, I really don't know what you want me
to say here, because of course, none of this is
morally right and none of this makes sense.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
I will give you credit for this.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
You did try to break it off with this psycho friend,
but he just kept stalking you. I'm also struck stuck
on the fact that you know your husband is cheating.
You said that, but you're okay with that obviously, because
you say you.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Will never leave him and you love him. That's your
answer right there.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
I mean, so again, if you're staying with your husband
and your husband hasn't mentioned it to you, what's the
big deal whether you spill your guts to your husband
or not. I think the bigger worry right now for
you is what is this crazy friend gonna do next?
I mean, where's he gonna show up next? He said
he would fight for you to be his What exactly
does that mean, though, Steve?
Speaker 4 (03:27):
You mean what you said.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
See, men ain't that smart srely don't worry about no,
we ain't got no cold language and all like that. Uh,
this letter is so in your face. It's I mean, normally,
let us leave out a lot of stuff, right, She
(03:50):
just kind of put all the basic stuff in that.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
I'm no angel.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Hit at the most incredible line in the whole thing
for me was I'm no angel, but I don't deserve
how my ex lover is active.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Really, you don't deserve that you do.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
You should have known by now at this point in
your life that you can't control what other people do.
I'm pretty sure you have had to come to this
conclusion before. But you just don't deserve how your ex
lover is active. Your husband of seventeen years is a
cheater and you think he got a girlfriend. But you
(04:36):
say you'll never leave him because you love him. Oh okay,
that's crazy, So you'll just he do what he wanted
to do.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
I'm not leaving him.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
I love him no matter how he feel about you.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
You just gonna stay.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
If he disrespects you, that's cool. If he gets somebody else,
that's cool. If he cheat on you, that's cool. If
he got a girlfriend, that's cool.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
I love him. I ain't going nowhere.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Okay, then okay, then the letter you wrote to us
is really it ain't about that, So we ain't got
to figure out if you should stay your gold. You've
already told us you staying. Okay, cool, So now let's
see what you're gonna stay for. You said you're gonna
get yourself some loving on the side from one of
(05:25):
your husband's friends. God, there was a stupid decision. You
couldn't have found nobody else. Ladies, you can find somebody else.
You can find a man cheap, no shortage. It ain't
gonna take long. It happened today. After eight months to
(05:48):
fooling the round the god start the God start liking
me too much, so I cut him off. I stopped
having sex with him about a month ago. Now make
up your mind now, after eight months some food around.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Okay, the guy started liking.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Me so much, so you cut him off, and then
you stop having sex with him. A month ago he
called me crying so much I had to block him.
I blocked him on all the accounts. He showed up
in my hairtsline and pay for my hair like he
always did. He waited on me in the parking lot.
I walked right past him and ignoring him. I think
that's what made him snap. Now, No, he has snapped, defolt.
(06:28):
This is the crackle pop. You just didn't crackle pop
right now. He snapped. He been to snap.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
I like it, Steve, Nah, it's crackle pop.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Hang on, I tell you the rest.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Yeah, we'll have part two of Steve's response coming up
at twenty three minutes after the hour. Today's Strawberry letter
subject is does my husband know I'm cheating?
Speaker 2 (06:49):
We'll get back into it right after this. I'm off,
all right, Come on.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Steve, let's recap today's strawberry letter. The subject is does
my husband know I'm cheating?
Speaker 4 (06:59):
Okay, y'all listen to me.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Here's a woman that the rote the letter, that's been
married for seventeen years. Her husband, she says, is a
cheatah and think he got a girlfriend right now, But
she don't care. She's not leaving him because she loves him.
So this letter is not about should I leave my
husband or now the decision has been made. So she
(07:23):
says she gonna get her little love and on the side,
she decides to start seeing one of her husband's friends.
Now they've been having sex now for eight months, but
then the guy started caring about her too much, so
she decided to stop having sex. When him a month ago,
but he been calling crying so much she didn't have
(07:45):
to block him on all the social media accounts. Then
last week he showed up at the Hassle line while
she was getting her hassle had done and paid for
her hair like he always do. But then he waited
for her in the park parking lot. And that's and
I walked past him, ignored him. I think that's what
(08:05):
made him snap. Now let's get to this part right here.
He been to snap that still paying for hair while
y'all ain't having sex.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
That's snapped.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
That crying and calling you after you broke up with him.
That snap him waiting in the parking lot and you
walking past him. Now we're entering into Crackle pop see
you Finn to get the whole box that writes Christmas
Now that snap, crackle and pop crackle?
Speaker 4 (08:41):
Is he in the parking lot?
Speaker 3 (08:43):
You walk past him and don't say nothing to him,
and he done pay for your hair? He told your
sister he was gonna fight for you to be his.
Shirley said, you need to find out what that is.
I told Shirley, Shirley listened to me. We ain't that bright.
He fit the throw hands. He wants to tell his
(09:06):
friend she mine. Now that's what he wants to do.
And I got proof. What's crazy is that is he's
still real cool with my husband this whole time. You
told us you went and got one of your husband's friends.
He's even mentioned to my husband that he's seeing someone new.
(09:28):
He you are entering the crackle pop phase of the relationship.
Snap is all ready to happen. You are entering the
crackle pop phase of the relationship. Her husband he's seeing
somebody knew what.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
Who do that? Now? You ready for this?
Speaker 3 (09:56):
I must have really put it on this man because
he snapped no no out. Yeah yeah, he snapped back
there when you allays having a snack. See he crackling
and popping right now. Last night here we go, here
go pop now snap.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Crackle, Yeah, this is crazy.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Last night he showed up at my mama's house. While
my husband and I was over there, I walked outside
to smoke a cigarette.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
And this man was parked in my mama's driveway.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Crackle and pop, see snap snap, been over with we
crackling and popping right now. My husband came outside and
was glad to see him and ask how he knew
where we were. I was panicking, but that food was
(10:45):
calm and collected when he told my husband I was
just passing by. My husband looked at both of us, smiled,
and went back inside like he figured it all out.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
Now, let me explain something.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
TV is not the re action of a husband who
finds out his wife is sleeping with his friend. I
look at both y'all, smile, go back in the house.
So he don't know, but he also don't care about you.
He hasn't said a word to me. Now here's the
(11:19):
dumbest thing I've ever made. Should I tell my husband
everything that's happened between us or does he already know? Well, see,
listen to me. The key right now is for you
to find out if he already know. And all you
got to do is wait for. What I cannot recommend
to anybody, man or woman, is to walk in the
(11:41):
house with the evidence come on and presented to the jury.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
We're not fit to do this.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
That makes no sense at all, because now you're fit
to find out the.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
Whole rest of the crackling pop.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
I just think you lay low, you stop seeing the man.
Now the conversation you're gonna have to try.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
To uh have is with crackle pop Snap.

You've already you slept with snap. You gotta get your
mother because he three people. He snapped crackle and pops.
He's a white man with a tall hat on, and
you got to sit him down and try to reason
with somebody that comes in three.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
