make it. And now it's time for my come on
ye thank you my good junior.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Text.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
I realized my voice is deeper than yours.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
Junior, realize that until just now a minute a minute,
Hello Steve, I.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Don't even have it to you. Okay, here we go. Subject,
thank you junior.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Subject my ex broke in and painted my kitchen. Dear Stephen,
Shirley I'm forty eight and divorced. My child has gone
off to junior college, so I allowed my boyfriend to
stay overnight at my place. Finally, we have the best
time when we're together, and he promised that he'd help
me spruce up a few things in my house. He
(01:45):
commented on how much stuff I had packed into my closet.
I told him I needed to hire an organizer to
make it all fit. He said he would do it
himself so he could make room for his clothes.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
It was a joke to me, but he didn't laugh.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Our sleepovers continued and he brought a bag full of
clothes each time. He started out with his boxer briefs
and T shirts. Then he left a pair of tennis
shoes in my closet, and when I asked him about it,
he said he wanted us to go jogging in the
mornings after our sleepovers. I've been out of the dating
scene for so long I was oblivious to how he
(02:22):
was slowly moving in on me. By the end of August,
he was leaving his watch and cuff links. I found
that out when he called me one morning and said
he needed to come by to get his watch. He
told me. It was in the top drawer on quote
his side of the bed. I put his watch, his
dow rag, and his cuff links in a small bag,
(02:43):
and when he came by, I told him I needed
some space. I went for a whole week without answering
his calls. A week later, I got home from work
and my kitchen table and chairs were in the driveway.
He broke into my house and he painted my kit
like he promised to do. He said, I'm not used
(03:03):
to a man like him, and he's willing to be
patient with me. Now I am confused, thinking I'm sabotaging
a good thing.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Is he being kind or is he psycho?
Speaker 2 (03:14):
I want to take I want to take charge guy,
But is he doing too much? Yes, girl, this man
broke into your house.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
He broke in red flag, red flag, red flag. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
This is not a nice surprise. It is not some
nice gesture on his part. It's scary and that's not
cool under any circumstances. So yes, he's doing way too much.
To answer your question, he was already slowly moving in
on you. You guys hadn't disgusted. You didn't ask him
to move in. There was no talk of future plans
(03:46):
for you too. Not even where is this relationship going
talk mentioned in this letter. He just randomly started bringing
his stuff over and he claimed a whole side of
your bed. Who just starts bringing bags.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Of clothes over?
Speaker 2 (04:01):
I don't think it's cute, and I do think it's
a cause for concern. And one thing is true that
you said in a letter I'm sure, and that is
you're not used to a man like him, especially ones
who's gonna break into your house. I mean, the crazy
part is is that he sees nothing wrong with this.
So when he I just say, so what he painted
your house, You told him you need a space, You
(04:22):
gave him his things back. He obviously thought you were playing.
He didn't take you seriously. I say, change the locks
on your doors immediately, Steve.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
I disagree with every damn thing Shirley said. Girl, you
are looking at a gift in your mouth and your
dumb ass fitting to walk away. You can't be almost
stupid than you are in this letter. Complain and and complain,
and y'all kill me with this. Ladies, y'all want a
(04:56):
man to cover you, want a man to take care
of you, a man to be lawyer. Want a man
to provide for you. Want a man that's thoughtful, want
a man that's considerate. Then when you get one, because
you ain't used to that, your dumb ass wants to
get rid of a good man.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
You're so stupid.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Let me tell you how mad I am at this
letter and shall this strap verry response. God, y'all, you
don't whatever me. I didn't say nothing. Why you was
giving this ignor ass answer to this ignorant ass lady.
And then y'all sitting together like y'all always do. This
is what y'all do, Ladies, y'all get together with a
(05:40):
cup of tea and some wine, and y'all get in
a group and exchange badass information about men, and then
y'all all agree with it because y'all don't know. And
today that's fitting to stop. On the Steve Harvey Morning Show,
I'm speaking up for well meaning, well deserving hard men,
(06:03):
and you got wrong. She forty eight and divorced. Why
you get a divorced because you had a sorress man,
that's why. Then your baby going off to junior college,
so you let your boyfriend stay all the night. We
have the best time when we together right there. We
have the best time when we together. You ain't said
(06:23):
nothing wrong with this man in two sentences, But then
after this you start to find something wrong that ain't
really wrong. When we come back, I'm gonna destroy the
letter writer. Charley's response, this ys all, y'all coming.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Up, coming up in twenty three minutes after the hour.
Steve's raggedy response is coming up to this strawberry letter.
My ex broke in and painted my kitchen. We'll get
back into it right after this.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
You're listening Steve Hardy Morning Show.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
All right, come on, Steve, let's recap today's strawberry letter.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
The subject is my ex broke in and painted my kitchen.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Well, let me reiterate on something you said when we
were going out the last break. You said, we'll be
back with Steve's raggedy answer. The raggedy answer was this
messy you get. In the words of Bona Sanders, that
bull junk replies, it's what was raggedy. You're the tardest
(07:23):
woman to change her locks. Run it's a red flag.
Get away from him. Get away from him for what, ladies,
what's wrong with y'all? You want a man to do
something for you want a man to stotful, Consider it
hard working, a provider, loyal ain't hard to find. Then
you get one, and now you don't know what it
looked like. So now you're scared of y'all already and
(07:43):
had one damn divorce because you didn't know what you
was doing in the first place. Now you'd have found
somebody else. And every time we get together, we have
the best time for we together. Then he said, you
promised me he'd help spruce up a few things in
my house. Oh, you said, he made a promise that
he was spruce up some in the house. Okay, let's
go ahead. On He commented on how much stuff I
had packed in your closet. You know how y'all do.
(08:06):
Y'all got them doors you can't open at y'all's house.
All y'all stuff just throwed up in there. So he
commented on it. He told it. I told him I
needed to hire an organize it to make it all fit.
He said, you ain't gotta do that. I'm gonna do
it for you, baby. Consider it provider, hard worker. Okay,
(08:26):
I'm gonna do it for you. So he can make
room for his clothes. It was a joke to me.
He wasn't joking. He told you, I gonna help you
clean his clothes. St i'mnna make some room for my clothes.
You was a joke to you, But he didn't laugh.
Well how he had.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Then?
Speaker 3 (08:42):
It wasn't no damn joke, wasn't.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
He told you what he was gonna do. Anyway?
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Our sleepovers continued. Oh I wonder why you kept letting
them sleep oat. You didn't want to put that in
the left she do? Is that part of that best
time y'all had when y'all together? Eh? Right, So now
you got a man that promise to clean your claws
and out, promise he'd do some things, help fix your
house over, and he fry your bacon just like you
like it. He up in there frying your bacage just
(09:10):
like you like you want to extra chrispy tonight.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
And here had come old hot grease.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
And I'll continue. He bought a bag full of clothes
each time. He started out with his box of briefs
and T shirt. That's because you got to be a
change when you leave. He didn't have to pair of
tennis shoes in my closet when I asked him about it.
He said he wanted us to go jogging in the
mornings after I sleep over. I've been out on the Daytons.
I've been out on Dayton scene for so long. I
was oblivious to how he was slowly moving in on me.
(09:36):
He bought a bag of clothes with him every time
he came over. How is your blind ass oblivious to that?
You remembered it to write this letter. You didn't think
nothing of it. But when he bought the bag of clothes,
you didn't tell him, don't bring nothing else in him.
He brought every time. By the end of August, he
(09:58):
was leaving his watching comfling. Wait a minute, he dressed
up to go to work. You're taking the man with
up with mobility. You taking the man that's trying to
be something go work every day. I'm sorry. I found
that out when he called me one morning and said
he needed to come back to get his watch. He
told me there was in the top drawer on his
side of the bed. What you mean on your side
of the bed? Y'all sad? Y'all sleepovers continued. When y'all
(10:23):
get through sleeping and he get over, he sleep on
one side of the bed every night. That's his side
of the bed. Your ass don't sleep over there. So
now whose side of the bed is it. I put
his watch, his dow rag in his comflict, Oh do rag.
He got waves, He got waves. He got waves. Here,
he got waves. He gotta get a haircut. You ain't
(10:45):
gotta sit up and plat his hair. You know you
ain't got to buy dread wash. You ain't got to do.
He gotta pick men out of his hair. He got waves.
He got waves. And I told him I put his
coufflicts in a small bag. And when he came back,
I told him I needed some space. Okay, cool, you
need some space.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Cool.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
So now I went a whole week without answering his call.
So now, okay, cool. He took that, but he loved
you though, still thinking about you, still wanting to keep
his promise to you. So I went a whole week
without answering this call. A week later, now it's two
weeks now, I got home for work and my kitchen
table and chairs was in the driveway. He broke into
(11:23):
my house and he painted my kitchen like he promised
to do. You didn't come in the house, and he
was laying up that half neck across the bed. He
opened your house and painted your entire kitchen like he
promised to do. You mean to tell me he keeping promises.
You mean to tell me that even after two weeks
(11:44):
and not calling him, he still wanted to show you
how he felt and was willing to provide for you.
And he said, I'm not used to a man like him,
and he's willing to.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Be patient with me.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Now I'm confused, thinking I'm sabotaging a good thing, your
dumb ass show. And if you're listening to shouting talk
about something, run you change your locks and all this.
He's a little sabotage and a good thing. You're gonna
take charge guy, But now he's doing much what you want,
all right, You're want a man, all child?
Speaker 1 (12:14):
SHOs was ignorant, No, it wasn't. Yours was crazy.
