Subject to my husband's stray cat. Dear Stephen Shirley, My
husband and I are in our late thirties and my
husband is working on his bachelor's degree. He's been at
it for a few years because he also works full time.
(00:45):
He has an old friend that is a high school
English teacher, and she's helped him a lot with his
essays in public speaking class. She's come by our home
and sat with him for hours at our kitchen table,
trying to get him together so he can get this degree.
The farthest thing from my mind was him being attracted
to her. Then he started to say things like intelligence
(01:06):
as sexy. I thought he was referring to me because
I have a degree and I'm a licensed social worker.
He met her though, I noticed him texting her every morning,
so I read his texts a few times a few
weeks ago when he was in the shower. He texted
her good morning Queen every morning, and her responses hi King.
(01:29):
Then it's basic stuff like have a great day, or
read your syllabus. But the fact that she gets a
good morning Queen every day blew my mind. So my
spighty senses were up and I started paying attention to everything.
I noticed he changes his shirt impressions up before she
comes over, and he always has a little snack prepared.
(01:49):
All of this was going on right under my nose
all along. I finally got the chance to tell her
to stay in her place. She called me Saturday to
let me know my husband is on track to receive
his degree in May, and she wants to throw him
a big party and she wants my help. I told
her she had life all effed up because she's not
(02:12):
throwing a darned thing from my husband. I told her
to stand her place as the helper, and once my
husband graduates, she can lose his number. She called me crazy,
and hung up. Now my husband is furious and wants
me to apologize. Was I wrong? Well, I can't say
that you're wrong, because you handled the situation as you
(02:35):
saw it, and I'm sure as every other married woman
sees it. Okay, she needed to be checked at that point.
She needed to be She was out of line, and
so is your husband. I mean, it's not her place
to give your husband a party, and that's what this
letter is really about. That's your job. But she didn't
give you a chance. Did you not say anything, because
(02:56):
certainly you could have given him a party. She knows
exactly what she's doing, because what is up with? Good
morning queen and good morning king? What's that about? Or
Hi king? Good morning queen, Hi king? What is that?
What is that? She had one job and that was
to get him to the finish line. She did that.
Now she says he's on track to graduate in May.
(03:19):
Congratulation to your husband. All the extra stuff she's trying
to do is unnecessary. And another thing, does he think
you don't notice that he's freshening up and putting up,
putting on a clean shirt, and putting out snacks for her.
I mean that's good hospitality, I suppose, but I think
(03:41):
of anything he needs to do. He needs to tell
her to apologize to you for overstepping with the party.
You don't need to apologize. You're definitely not crazy, like
she said. You are the wife who is not here
for another woman giving her man a party. That's just it.
You know, that's it in a nutshell. You don't like that,
(04:01):
and you let it be known. Ste Well, well, well,
there is so much confusion in this letter for me
because I'm torn in this letter because I want to
(04:22):
pick a side, but I can't pick a side. But
I'm on both sides. But I and I shouldn't be.
You're wrong, but you're right, but you're wrong. So let
me tell you where I'm starting to stroke. Your husband
(04:43):
and you and your late thirties. And your husband's working
on bachelor Greedy. He's been at it for a few
years because he worked full time. He has an old
friend that is a high school English teacher, and she's
helped him a lot with his essays. An old friend.
(05:04):
Ah See, this is where I I keep telling y'all
about these friendships. I keep telling women over and over
about these opposite sex friendships. I keep telling you. Now,
it could be the rare occasion way it works, but
(05:24):
it normally don't. Here we go that old friend high
school English teachers. She helped him a lot with his
essays and public speaking class. She's come by a house
and set with him for hours at y'all's kitchen table,
trying to get him together so he can get his degree. Now,
(05:45):
you all knowing women the way you do, ladies, you
know that one of the main characteristics of a woman
is nurturing. We love to take care of people. That
is one of the best quality. These are a lot
of women that innate nurturing skill that you have. Oh,
(06:05):
but it can be too much. Yeah, the furthest thing
from my mind was him being attracted to her and
why that's so far away? She attractive ation, And then
he started to say things like intelligence is sexy, that
(06:29):
this is why I have a problem his stupid ass.
Why would you open your damn mouth and intelligence is sexy?
When I come back, I'm gonna light your ass. Oh
you bought this on yourself, stupid ass. Hang on, Steve,
we'll get part two of your response coming up. At
twenty three minutes after be our subject. My husband stray cat.
(06:50):
We'll get back into it right after this. You're listening
Harvey Morning Show. All right, come on, Steve, let's recap
today's strawberry letters. The subject is my husband's straight. Well,
we got this married couple that's in their late thirties
and the husband been in school trying to get his
bachelor's degree, but he works full time. He's got an
(07:11):
old friend of his. Once again, I've told you all
about these opposite sex friends who comes by the house.
That's an English teacher helping with his essays and his
speaking classes. And she's come to our house and set
at the kitchen table for I was trying to get
him together to get his degree. Then she said, the
(07:32):
furthest thing from my mind was him being attracted to her.
How that so far from your mind. You don't have
a mind of a man. So now it's the furthest
thing from your mind. Then he started saying things like
me here where I lost it. He started saying things
(07:53):
like intelligences sexy. Why would you say that dog to
your wife? Why with your stupid because you in your thities, man,
you don't know why would you say that? Because c
(08:16):
what he's trying to say what he wanted to find
a way to verbalize the woman's sexiness because he just
can't help himself because he young. And but then he
tried to disguise it with intelligence is sexy. But now
you dumb it in him because you thought he was
(08:39):
referring to you because you got a degree and you
are licensed social worker. That's social working. That's intelligence, or degree,
that's intelligence. But all of ye y'all been man, He
never told you intelligence was sexy because he wasn't talking
about you. He met her though. I noticed him texting
(09:05):
her every morning. So I read this text a few
weeks ago when he was in the shower. Boy, if
you're texting other women, you can't lay your phone around
if you're gonna take a time showers from the show,
they got the stuff that they buy for kids when
they go to camp. They got this little thing they
(09:27):
fit around your neck where your phone going. This little
waterproof come on, so you can shower with your phone
hanging around your neck. Now they for twelve year old,
But if your asses go at twelve, do you need
the damn thing to go around your neck? Sew on
the road all right, So now I noticed him texting,
(09:48):
and I read a few texts while he was in
the shower. He texts her good morning queen every morning.
Her response is high King. Now surely that's the newling.
Go now we refer to each other. Okay, well, I'm
just saying so he trying to be cute high queen,
high king, and he trying to keep it. Basically, that's
basic stuff. Like then it's basic stuff like have a
(10:10):
good great day, or read your syllabus. Now that's a
good one. Read Jo syllabus that throws you off. Read
Joe syllabus, something I've never done in all of my
school years. I still don't know what that is. Because
(10:31):
I thought it was syllables, and I was going, well,
I do read them as I'm pronouncing words. What I
thought syllabus was a syllable. I thought syllabus was syllables plural,
like more than one syllable. So I was going, I
do that when I read thank y'all and so. Anyway,
so the fact that she gets a good morning queen
(10:52):
every day blew my mind. So my spotty senses were up,
and I started paying attention to everything I noticed. He
changes his shirt and freshens up she comes over and
he always has a little snack prepared. Well, if you're
gonna be sitting in the kitchen at the table for hours,
then you're gonna want a snack. Now he been at work,
(11:13):
he want to freshen up. Didn't you hear him say
intelligence is sexy? Stupid ass? All this was going on
right under my nose all along. I finally got the
chance to tell her to stay at her place. She
called me Saturday to tell me her husband's on track
to receive his degree and mate and she wants to
(11:35):
throw him a big party and she wants my health. Oh,
now she's stupid too. Yeah, you call a wife and
say I've been to throw a big party for your
husband and I won't chill health. What lady, you already
notice a f in the fly? I told her you
(11:58):
got you got, you got life. Flet up? No you do, No,
you got me twisted, you got this thing fleffed up.
Because she's not throwing a damn thing from my husband.
I told him stay in her place, and as the helper.
As the helper once my husband graduates, she could lose
his number. She called me crazy and hung up, Not
(12:20):
my husband and fuss and wants me to apologize. Was
I wrong? Well, he wasn't wrong, but you was wrong.
And what your husband is using now here's an office
and part your husband is stress because he can't lose
his tutor who is sexually intelligent. And so now he
gonna make you the heavierness because you're crazy. Are you crazy? Yes? Yes,
(12:45):
you praised were you're wrong for this? No? No you aren't.
Should you have done it that way? Yes you should have.
You jeopardized him getting the greed. The boy probably ain't
gonna ever get a damn the green now after this. Nah.
