It could be yours. Buchel love it, hold on tight,
We got it for you.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Here it is Strawberry Letter. Thank you for your subject.
Why would she keep telling the same lie? Dear Stephen Shirley,
I'm forty two and my boyfriend is forty seven. When
we met, he was going through a divorce and he
lived with his brother. He would go missing on weekends,
and his wife started calling me with lies, saying that
when he wasn't with me, he was back at home
(00:46):
with his family. I have no idea where their house is,
so I could not ride by the house to see
if my boyfriend was there.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
And the last time.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
He disappeared, he said that he and his brother were
gambling all night and his phone died. His brother confirmed it.
I trust that he's being honest. I asked how his
wife got my number, and he said he gave it
to her in case of emergency with the kids. He
had to know that wasn't a good idea because she
calls me a home wrecker. A year into our relationship,
(01:14):
he had to move back home because his brother's girlfriend
was moving in. I asked why he couldn't get his
own place, and he said he has bad credits, so
he's moving back to the house that he still pays for.
His wife called me again to say that her husband
was back at home and I should give up hope
that he'll ever leave again. I always record our conversation
(01:36):
so I could play it back to my boyfriend. He
heard the last conversation and he said that she keeps
telling me the same lie because she wants their marriage
to work out. I know he's trying to get out
of the marriage because I've heard him talking to his lawyer.
I would never believe his crazy wife, and I'm tired
of her feeding me all of her lies. I got
my number change so I can live in peace with
(01:58):
my boyfriend. I've talked to him and facetimed facetimed him,
so I know he's not in the bed with her.
What other proof do I need that she's a liar?
She's a liar. Okay, this is not about her, let's
start the letter there is. This is not about her,
his ex wife and the lies you think she's telling you.
(02:20):
This is about you and the lies you're telling yourself.
You've got to see through some of this stuff. You
just got to because he's always, for some crazy reason,
at his wife's house.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Have you figured that out?
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Either he was m I A on the weekends, or
he has bad credit and can't get his own place,
or he had to move back to his wife because
his brother's girlfriend was moving in where he was staying. Well,
what does it matter the reason?
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Anyway?
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Right now he's back in the house, okay, with his wife,
with his family, keyword wife, because he is still married
to this woman. So instead of talking about living in
peace with your boy and all that, or recording your
conversations with his wife, why don't you just leave him
alone until he's divorced, completely officially divorced. Then you won't
(03:09):
have all this drama to worry about in your life.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
It's simple, Steve.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Here's a letter, here's a whole letter. Why would she
keep telling the same lie. The reason we all tell
the same lie is because you keep believing it. That's
it in a nutshell. Let's quit playing around. If I
told you that the reason I didn't come home that
(03:37):
weekend because I was out gambling with my brother and
my phone died, and you said, oh, okay. Then the
next time you asked me why were you that weekend?
You know what I'm gonna say. I was with my
brother gambling at the casino and the phone died. Do
you know what that is? That's the same lie? And
(03:58):
why would I keep telling it? Because you keep believing it.
You know what I love about this letter? I love
the lady that wrote it. I wish I could meet
women like you. Where are they? I've never had these before?
Speaker 4 (04:11):
You really you believe everything he says, and your whole
one goal in life is to justify everything he says.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
You don't, You don't. It doesn't create a moment of
pause for you. Of nothing. He'll go missing on the
weekends and his wife started calling me with lies, saying
that he wasn't with me, he was back home with
his family. You don't know that, so you believed it
when he said he wasn't. But well, where was he then?
If he wasn't back home with this lady, where was he?
I have no idea where that house is, so I
(04:48):
couldn't ride by the house to see if my boyfriend
was there. Okay. The last time he disappeared, he said,
him and his brother was gambling all night and his
phone died. You believe that, So that's good. His brother
confirmed it to do my brother go along with whatever.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Man.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
If I call my.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Brother and say, hey, man, look if you get a
call from so and so, this is why I would
all right, I got you player, he hang up, ain't
no where was you? And all this hire that's my brother.
I trust that he's being honest. Okay, well that you
have it what you write me and Shirley for if
you trust he's being honest. I asked how his wife
(05:26):
got my number. He said he gave it to in
case of emergency with the kid? What boy, the emergency.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
With the kids?
Speaker 2 (05:35):
She called you.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Let me explain to you how she got his number.
He left the phone laying down at the house when
he was sleep back over there, and she got your number. Look,
I'm not divorced, and I'm gonna give my wife my
current girlfriend's number. Lady, They ain't a man on planet
(06:02):
Earth gonna do that. But if you want to, you
want to believe that he's honest, and you're gonna justify it,
then I'm here for you. When I come back, let's
just go along with all the rest of it. Last,
when we come back, we'll be Let's just go along
with the rest though.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
All right, Steve, we'll have part two of your response.
But you know what thought, Shirley, Huh.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Here's the deal, though, If you tell somebody the truth
and they don't believe you, that ain't your fault.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
True, My daddy taught that to me. If you tell
somebody the truth and they don't believe you, that ain't
your fault.

I should give up hope that he'll ever leave again.
Always record our conversation so I could play it back
for his boyfriend. What you got to play that back for?
Didn't she say he back home? Didn't he say he went?

ever leaving again. You recorded that he heard the last
conversation and says, she keeps telling me the same lie
because she wants they marriage to work out. No, she
keeps telling you the truth that you refuse to believe.
