Here it is Strawberry Letter. Thank you, nephew. Subject between
the Bed and the Wall, Dear Stephen Shirley. I'm a
(01:04):
life coach and motivational speaker, so I travel a lot
and my husband keeps our two year old twins. I
was gone for a conference last week, and I was
unable to speak with my husband while I was gone.
He said one of the twins threw his cell phone
in the pool, and he didn't have a babysitter to
keep the boys while he spent the day in the
apple store. I had no reason to doubt him until
(01:27):
I spoke with his mother, and she told me that
she'd bring them over the twins pajamas and other clothes
after she'd washed them. That's when I found out that
my twins stayed with her the entire weekend I was gone.
I didn't let on that I was unaware my boys
had been there, and I asked a few questions. She
is such a sweet person that she had no idea
(01:49):
she was getting my husband in trouble. She said he
picked up the boys on Monday morning in time for school,
but he did not call her over the weekend to
check on them. I asked which number he called from,
and she said he used his cell phone. He was
about to get busted. I looked for anything around my
(02:09):
house that was out of place, and something told me
to go into the guest room. It's a small room,
so the bed is pushed up against the wall, the
covers were rumpled, and no one ever goes in this room.
So I went in to investigate. I went to investigate.
I saw a pair of sandals, size seven, I wear
size nine. I also found a Kroger bag with eyelashes,
(02:32):
two loose condoms, and perfume. I'm no fool, and I
knew a woman had been in my house. But why
is he such a lousy cheater? Why didn't he throw
her shoes away and hide the condoms? Did he want
to get caught? I help people level up in life,
but I have no clue how to handle infidelity. Should
I confront him or leave his stupid behind? I think
(02:55):
you know you already know the answer to this. I
think you do. I think you I don't know why
you wrote us, but we're gonna try and help you
if we can. You know you say you help people
level up in life, Well, it's probably gonna be something
similar that you tell the people that you're gonna have
to tell your husband And I'm sorry, but your husband
(03:16):
did something really really stupid here. If you're gonna cheat,
at least try not to get caught, you ask the question,
why is he such a lousy cheater? I think you
should confront him, but he's only gonna lie. You already
know that he's already been lying to you since you
were away. I don't think he wanted to get caught necessarily,
(03:37):
But whatever he did, everything he did says the exact opposite. Okay, condom, shoes, lashes, perfume,
the cell phone lie. I mean, it's just way too much.
He lied about keeping the kids. His mom had them
all along. He didn't see them until Monday morning when
he picked them up to go to school. Why because
(03:58):
he was with this woman in your guest room. He
can't possibly think that you're that stupid. He can't, So yes,
most definitely confront him about this. Ask him about this.
You have the evidence, so even when he lies about
what he did, he's busted. The rest is up to
you whether you stay or leave him. And knowing what
(04:19):
you know about his cheating and his lying, I don't
see how you can stay. I don't see how you
can do it. You don't seem that bothered to me
about it, though. All you say is should I confront
him or leave his stupid behind? Those are your choices,
and this is your husband. You pick the one. I
think you should leave, but you know it's your life.
You do what you want to do. He didn't give
(04:40):
you much choice though, nephew. I think we're looking at
this wrong. Sure, yeah, right, I think we're looking at
it really wrong. You are a motivational coach. You should
motivate your man to be a better cheatah than what
(05:02):
he is. I think we're looking at this wrong. You
should motivate him to be a better cheatah. So now
here's what's bothered me about the way he's cheating. Who
loose come right there? Now they come in threes? Why
didn't he use all them? Anyway? He went in there
one and done. You're supposed to go in there if
(05:23):
you're gonna be player player, going in and do all three?
See that way, Now we've we've flushed them all that's gone.
There's no more evidence right there. You've got to motivate
this man to be a better cheatah than what he is.
And that's what that's what's bothering me is you don't
see the challenge that you have right now. That's a
challenge that you should be really pushing for you want
to make this guy a better cheatah, so you don't
(05:46):
find out what's going on now now what you really
need to be doing. They're trying to find out who
wear side self because somebody, you know, wear side self.
If somebody flip flops hang around in his house. We
got to figure out who that is. And I think
you can find not who this person is if you
really want to know. Do you just want to make
your man a better cheetah? Okay, now, his mama she
(06:07):
all in it. She don't know she in it. You
know she didn't screwed up everything. He didn't throw the twin,
one of the twins in it. It's just a lot.
You didn't put it all on the babies. We've got
to make him a better cheetah. Baby, If we made
him a better cheetah, how much better would you alls
lives be? Right now? It would be a lot more
functionable if he knew how to cheat, because you wouldn't
(06:28):
even me, You wouldn't even be going through this. You
wouldn't be talking to us because he would be doing
it the right way, and he's in other way. It's
a right way to do the wrong thing. It really is,
all right, enough already, thank you well. At part two
of our answers to the Strawberry Letter for today, the
subject is between the bed and the Wall. That's all
(06:48):
coming up at twenty three minutes after the hour. Right
after this, you're listening Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right,
we're gonna recap today's Strawberry Letter. Here we are while
the subject is between the bed and the Wall. A
woman rode in who's a life coach motivational speaker. She
travels a lot. Her husband usually keeps her two year
(07:09):
old twins when she travels. She was gone for a
conference for it last week. She was unable to speak
to her husband because he said one of the twins
through his cell phone in the pool, and he didn't
have a babysitter to keep the boys while he spent
the day at the Apple store. Sounds like that was
all a lie, because his mother was keeping the twins
for the entire weekend. The twins did not throw his
(07:31):
phone in the pool. He had his phone with him
because his mother. He called his mother and his mother
said so. The way the wife found out when she
got back was the mother told her that the husband
didn't call her and that he only picked the kids
up Monday morning when it was time to go to school,
so these were all lies. The wife came in, looked
(07:54):
in the guest room, found a bag with the lash
is in it to loose condoms, and she found a
shoe that was a size seven. She wears a size nine.
Perfume was also in the bag. She knew a woman
had been in her house. The question she asked was
why is her husband such a lousy cheater? And why
(08:17):
didn't he just throw the shoes and the condoms away?
And why didn't he make up a bit? Because he's
a stupid cheater. He did something really, really stupid. So um,
she wants to know should she leave his stupid behind
or confront him. I think you should do all of
the above. You should confront him and leave his stupid behind.
Tommy said, you're a motivational speaker, so you should motivate
(08:38):
him to cheat better. And now, Junior, it is your turn.
What do you say? She dreamed the bed and the wall. Well, Tommy,
I liked your part too, Tommy, That's that's one way
to look at it. I just I'm going with the
sissible thought that I had what you asking us for
surely said it? Why do you ask U you'd won
the life coach and the motivational speaker? How I'm you're
(09:00):
asking us? I'm just a comedian. I don't have the
skill set. You need to resign from your titles. What
you need? You don't need to be a life coach
or motivational speaking no more because y'all here give it
advice and you can't solve y'all dare problem. Why am
I listening to youth? Fo Okay, I'm trying to get
I'm trying to get a promotion on the job. You
don't even know who who, the lashes and the comments
belong to you? You have the trouble with that? Why
(09:22):
did you asking us? We don't have nothing to do
with this. I know one thing. Just think about this
was y'all role playing maybe two years ago when y'all
made these twins. It could have been yours. You know,
you could have been role playing, could have been your
shoes and them last you've just forgot. But we don't
know what to tell you. I don't I don't know you.
You're asking two foods me and times you ask that
what we think you need? Some people like Joe Losting.
(09:44):
You need TD Jakes. You need to be talking to
some people like that who got way more experience in this.
Because this is not what we do. I don't care
if you don't know who this and it was the
bad no wall, we didn't even talk about that. No more.
We don't even know what the title mean. You're you're
not You're not good at life coaching or motivational speaking.
Motivates you to stop writing us. I can motivate you
to do that. That's what you should do because we
don't know her fault though, don't make it look like
(10:07):
it's her fault. It's she didn't say. It's all I'm saying,
is what do we care? I don't know what to
tell you. You a life coach, motivate me into believe
in it. That's what you need to We need better,
We need better, cheat us, we need better. Yeah, because no,
no, no no, no, that's not it. I don't How about
(10:30):
not cheating when your wife's a way working hard and
at a conference. How about not lying to your wife
about you keeping the twins and being at the Apple
store a weekend, or about your twins showing your phone
in the pool She's not the first woman that men
have laughed. This is not new. It's something she should
life coach. She should notice. How come I a life coach?
(10:52):
I know that she the first one life coach for

a horrible cheater. I do agree with you, he is
a horrible Yeah. Women are much better at cheating than guys.

Why she asking us she stayed? Or leave? Yea, she

to leave this guy. You can't motivate herself. Shelf on
(11:59):
the couch. She's talking, but she says she helps people
level up in life. That's in there. But she has
no clue how to handle infidelity. You don't have to
handle infidelity. Leave him all right? Right? You have no
clue on how to handle infidelity. He has no clue
on how to do it. We don't know if that's
the right answer, sir, Because you're not a life coach
(12:19):
or motivational speaker. How do you know that's right. You
don't know if that's right. We don't know this early.
