Strawberry Letter

Dear Steve and Shirley, I was in a relationship with a man for 6 months, but we fell in love quickly and we were living together. He is 36 and I’m 31. He was going through a divorce when we met so I made him wait until the papers were signed before we had sex. He told me that his wife divorced him because he cheated on her multiple times. He told me that he cheated, simply cause his wife had stopped having sex with him.............

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m in my late 30s and I’m dating a man that I met at church. I found out that he talked to our pastor about me and the pastor hinted that he might be ready to propose. I got excited and decided it was time to take our relationship to the next level, meaning it was time for sex. We have been together for six months and we were friends for 2 years before we started dating. We haven’t had sex, but we sleep in ...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m 38 years old and I’ve been on a few dates with a 40 year old man that lives with his sister. For our first date, we met up at a miniature golf place and his sister dropped him off. He lied and said it was an Uber, but when I offered to take him home after the date, he admitted that his sister dropped him off because he knew I would see that car at his house. For our 2nd and 3rd dates, I picked him up.......

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m dating a man that is so tied to his past that it won’t let him last. We are not going to make it because he’s always talking to his ex-girlfriends and his ex-wife. He has a child in his life that’s not his, but he told me that the boy will always be a part of his life. His ex-girlfriend was pregnant when they started dating and he raised the child for 3 years. Then they broke up and he got married..........

Dear Steve and Shirley, I have been married for 22 years to a fool who thinks I’m crazy. He works 2 jobs and takes great care of me but I think he resents me because I never had children for him. At first, we agreed that we didn’t want kids, but now we’re almost 50 and he said he wants a son. Because of that, he has become very involved with a neighborhood friend’s son. I thought he was being a good neighbor, but now I think he is ...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m a 49 year old single woman and I say I’m single because I’ve been in a dead-end relationship for almost 10 years. I was so in love with this man and I felt like he loved me but he stopped telling me after 3 years of being together. Instead of telling me, he’d say that I was the closest thing he had to a wife and everyone knows who his #1 is.............................................

Dear Steve and Shirley, my husband and I have been married for 3 years. Our marriage was going good until a year ago, when he told me he was having an affair. Shortly after we met, he told me about a female friend of his that lives out of town and she’s like a little sister to him. I met her 5 years ago when she came to town for homecoming. We got along great, but I don’t trust any females around my man...............

Dear Steve and Shirley, my co-worker and I have a strong bond. I am what you would call his work-wife. My work husband and my real husband talk often and since my work husband is dating a scandalous woman, my husband has been counseling him a lot. When my husband and I met the girlfriend, she looked at us like we were garbage and didn’t deserve to be in her presence...............................

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m a 49 year old married woman and my husband is 47 and boring with a capital B. We have gained weight since we got married and he’s a thigh and butt kind of guy so he’s constantly rubbing on me and grabbing my behind. That’s all he’s done to show me affection in the last year. Sex with him is boring and as soon as he is done, he falls asleep. We don’t cuddle and he sleeps with his back to me..................

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m a 41 year old white lady and I work in corporate America with a very good job. I go to work dressed like a million bucks every day because I had help buying my designer pieces. I always start at the top when I date and I’ve never dated a man that is beneath me. A man isn’t even beneath me when we are having sex. I’m always on top in everything I do. I have a son and he likes the best of everything too......

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’ve been married for three years and he cheated before our wedding. We met in an online chat room and he said I had all of the values that he desired in a wife. He quoted some scripture and I was hooked. He’d been married before and he said his biggest problem was that his wife was not submissive. He said she was stubborn and argumentative. I was 48 when we got married and it was my first marriage, so I aim...

Dear Steve and Shirley,  I'm a 52 year old divorced woman dating a man that is 57 years old.  We have been together almost a year, but, we have fundamental differences that might break us up.  We met at my cousin's 40th birthday party.  He was the DJ so I asked him to play some classic r&b hits because all he was playing was hip hop and we had a lot of older people at the party that weren't into the rap and hip hop ...

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m married to a very stubborn man and out of 8 years of marriage, he’s ignored me for most of that time. I’m a charge nurse and I have been really stressed out lately, as you can imagine. I come home to my husband and I expect him to listen to me vent and console me, but instead he has his head in his phone and he tunes me out.....................................

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’ve been separated for 3 months and I’m getting divorced. My husband and I had a very happy marriage till three months ago. He was a family man and he’s allowed 2 of my younger siblings to live with us in the past. My youngest brother is 28 and he rushed into marriage after he got a woman pregnant. It was obvious that his wife was not the marrying type. She’s 25 and all she does is smoke weed and drink........

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’ve been dating a man or we have been messing around, as he says. It’s been almost five years and he’s not the settling down type, so I’ll take it any way I can get it. I have fallen in love with him and he knows it. I think he uses it against me at times. He’s dating other women because I see him posting pictures in the club and he’s hugged up with other females.......................
