Speaker 1 (00:32):
Thank you, nephew. Subject. It's amazing how nice he can be.
Here's Stephen Shirley. My husband and I have been married
for twenty two years and together for twenty seven years total.
He's settled into his ways, and since our children are
all grown and gone from the house, he's gotten good
at ignoring me. He grunts when I talk to him,
(00:53):
just to acknowledge that he heard me. My father said,
a man gets tired of us yapping all the time,
so I guess him plenty of space. I love to
have people over because he's really nice when other people
are around, but then he goes right back to ignoring me.
There is one person that he really perks up for,
and he's on his best behavior if she's around. It's
(01:15):
my younger sister. My sister is almost twenty years younger
than I am, and she married her high school sweetheart
at a young age, and they moved to Hawaii after
he joined the army. Unfortunately, her husband died of COVID,
so she moved back to Philly to be near her family.
I knew back in the day that my husband had
(01:35):
a crush on her, because all the guys did. She's
always had long hair and a teeny tiny waistline with hips,
and after two children, she still has a nice body.
My mother and I get so tickled when my husband
is around my sister. He darned near Smith's the air
when she walks by. It's amazing how nice he can
(01:57):
be to her, and I'm just glad to know that
something or somebody can revive him every once in a while.
My oldest sister is the hater of the family, and
she's the one that always keeps up mess. She told
me that I need to keep an eye on our
little sister and my husband. There's no way she's attracted
to him because I haven't been attracted to him in years.
(02:19):
Should I be worried about them? Or should I let
this old man enjoy his crush on my darling baby sister.
Is it an innocent crush? It is an innocent crush?
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Right? Well?
Speaker 1 (02:31):
I mean, I know you trust your darling little sister,
and yes, of course it could be innocent. But then yes,
still keep your eyes on them. I mean, just because
you're no longer attracted to your husband, and how could
you be with the way he treats you, that doesn't
mean other women won't be attracted to him. And it's
no secret to you and your family that he's feeling
your sister. We hear about these types of stories every
(02:54):
day in the Strawberry Letter. But it doesn't mean that
that's happening at your house. Just be a where the
problem is though? What is wrong with your husband? Why
is he acting this way? You said your dad said,
men get tired of us yapping all the time. Well
whatever with that? I mean, you know you said you
give him plenty of space, so that's not it. Your
(03:15):
husband just sounds like a set in his ways. Grumpy,
grouchy old man. And have you tried talking to him
about this? Have you guys had any kind of conversations. Well,
he doesn't listen to anything you say anyway, he said,
it doesn't sound like he would listen to you. But
I just say, as long as this is your sister
pays him no attention and doesn't engage him, and it
(03:35):
doesn't sound like she is, don't get mad at her.
Doesn't sound like you're mad at her. Your crazy husband
is the problem. He's the problem, and you shouldn't have
to put up with this after twenty seven years.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Steve Shirley, you just told the girl. You just told
the dad to keep out.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Yeah, yeah, then.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
You just told him it ain't nothing. What you want
to do now? You want to keep out on them?
Or it ain't nothing.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
See, we can letters like this all the time. Keep
an eye. She could trust her sisters. Like I said,
as long as her sister doesn't engage or it pays
him no attention, it's cool. But yeah, she could still
keep an eye. What's wrong with keeping an eye? What
did I say? Wrong?
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Okay, I'm so glad I'm here On the second hand
of these letters, fellas again. I want to apologize to
all the men listening out here again because once again
Shirley has decided, don't you another family, don't die. We
(04:40):
going to the other side of the family. Now, normally
it's just let's get rid of her husband and.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
The white Wow, if it was.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
God, she gonna break up the system. No what, let
me try to salvage this situation. That's reason why you
have two responses to the Strawberry letter, because you got
to have different perspective. Now you as the listener or
write of the letter, you get to decide which one
you want to go with that. These people have been
together twenty two years, twenty seven total. He's settling his ways,
(05:12):
and all the children grown and going out the house.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
He's gotten good at ignoring me.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
He grunts when I talk to him, just to acknowledge that.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
He heard me.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
My father said, a man gets tired of us yapping
all the time. Shirley said, well whatever, that was her
exact quote after that, But no, you can't yell, and
you can't oh yell whatever your way out of this.
The father said, a man gets tired of us yapping
(05:48):
all the time. And Shirley made another statement that we
get letters like this all the time. Just yesterday, as
I recall, here's a woman that's upset with her husband
because she want a picture of him himself all the time.
And now he go in there to take a shower,
and he locked the door so she can't come in
there and sit and talk to it. That's yep, it
(06:09):
all the damn time. The man just won't take a shower.
Now here we go. Now, you want to talk to
your man all the time? You talk to you, damn.
That's why he grunted, so he don't want to have
to have a verible exchange with you. It's sad, but
all this letter really is, Can I just be honest
with yourn? Both of these people in this letter have
(06:29):
grown tired of one another, both of them. And the
only highlight of his day, the only ram sunshine in
his flight, the only beacon of light. It's when her
fine ass baby sister come over there. Yeah, well we
come back. I'll finish up this.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Letter part two of Today's Strawberry Letter. It is coming up.
We'll hear from Steve again at twenty three minutes after
the hours. We'll get back into it right after you
do you're listen a morning show. All right, come on, lips,
let's recap today's strawberry letter.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
All right, boy, got here, I'm.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Today's subject is it's amazing how nice he can be.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
You know, this woman been with this man all these years,
twenty seven years total, and the kids is out the house,
and he's started ignoring her. He only grunts when she
speaks to it. She's getting tired of that.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Now.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
You went to your father, and your father said that
a man get tired of us yeaping all the time.
Surely to that exact line, said oh well whatever, Well,
see that's what's wrong. It ain't no old well what help?
He talks too much? He and got tired of her.
But she is also tired of him. These are two
(07:48):
people that have grown apart. The kids is out the house.
That was their purpose. They had a purpose for staying together.
That's diminished, that's gone. So now they just right back
to that. And I love to have other people over
because he's really nice when other people all around, because
he cool with them.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
But then he goes right back to ignoring me.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
There is one person here we go that really perks
him up, and that is my younger sister. My sister's
almost twenty years younger than I am. She married a
high school sweetheart at a young age, and they moved
to Hawaii when he joined the army, and unfortunately her
husband died of KOVID, so she moved back to Philly
to be near family. I knew back in the day
(08:32):
that my husband had a crush on her because all
the guys, uh.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Here we go.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Now, she's always had long handed, teeny tiny waistline with hips,
and after two children, she still got a nice body.
My mother and I get so tickled he would go,
he go to line park right here. My mother and
I get so tickled when my husband is around my sister.
He damned near sniffs the ad when she walked by.
All right now, we asked if it now? It's amazing
(09:03):
how nice he can be to her. And I'm just
glad to know that something or somebody can revive him
every once.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
In a while. Billy, are you really happy about this?
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Are you and your mother really tickled every time your
sister comes by? Or are you aching from jealousy like
I think you are?
Speaker 2 (09:22):
And do you have a reason to be jealous? Well? Rightfully, so, if.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Your husband gets excited about the presence of another woman,
and it ain't you. Of course you're gonna be jealous.
That's a natural thing to do, and you should be.
My oldest sister is the hater in the family, and
she's the one that always keeps up mess. She told
me I need to keep an eye on our little
sister and my husband.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Oh okay, so.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Now the young girl is a killer and your oldest
sister is a hate. The young sister is a killer,
you know, killer, kill a hair, kill, a waistline, she banging.
She's all guys have been attracted to her, and then
your older sister just to hate him.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
There is no way.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Here's a letter in the whole letter, Sureley, that you
did not gonna help me with you. There's no way
she's attracted to him. Did you hear that? There is
no way she is attracted to him because I haven't
been attracted to him in years.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
There's the letter right there, These two people tired of
each other. He ignoring you.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Yeah, you ain't even attracted to the man, and you
ain't been attracted to.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Him in years.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
So how do you think she's been behaving to this
man who she's not attracted to if you stop liking
your husband, you can love a person and not like her.
But you said you have not been attracted to him
in years, and he know it. So now all this
talking you doing, what am I listening for? You ain't
(10:58):
attracted to me, you are ain't doing nothing with me?
Then come your little sister? She fine, Oh here, I
didn't say it was her fault. I'm just telling you
that there's two people. No, surely what it sounded like
is you was trying to break up his fan.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Need to break up.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
But I was just two people who are sick of
each other. But you'd have dumped it all on the
man talking about you need to keep out on your
little sister, you need to keep out on him. But
she said, there's no way they're attracted to him because
she ain't been attracted to him.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
But that doesn't mean that doesn't mean that she can't
be attracted other people can't be attracted to him just
because she's not attracted to him, That doesn't mean that.
And I said that, am I response?
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Anyway? Should I be worried about them?
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Or should I let this old man enjoy his crush
on my dolling babysitter.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
You ain't got to let him do it. He doing
it anyway, y' already doing it.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
You and your mama say you're already tickled about it,
and I don't think you are.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
I think you're jealous.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
But then you're not attracted to him, and you haven't
been in years. So what do you want me to say?
Should I let him have his Why are you gonna
stop it? If you ain't attracted to him? Could it
be heitting attracted to you?
Speaker 2 (12:21):
No more?
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Well, that's why I'm saying it. In my life, I didn't. No,
she treats him like crap because she has crap.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
That's because they're both tired of each other.
Speaker 3 (12:37):

changing your answer, not rebuttal services.
