Speaker 3 (00:20):
You never know. Buckle up and hold on type. We
got it for it you here. It is Strawberry Letter.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Thank you, nephew. Subject She's coming over where?

Speaker 3 (00:29):
Huh?

Speaker 2 (00:29):
Yes, Steven Shirley.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
For the first two years of my marriage, we worked
hard to blend our children and our exes. I've done
a great job with my ex husband because he's remarried
and his new wife is respectful and mature. My husband's
ex is still single, bitter and immature, so it's hard
to co parent with her. She told my husband that

(00:51):
I purposely buy my children design her clothes because I
know she can't afford to buy them for her two daughters.
When I did buy their daughter a small designer purse,
the ex wife had it and she posted it on Facebook.
So no, I'm not buying any more bags she was
so evil up until she met a nice man and

(01:12):
she seemed to be happy. A few months later, he
ghosted her. The children said their mom accused a man
of cheating, but he was at Bible study and his
pastor confirmed it. Right after that, bitter Betty was back.
For some odd reason. My husband felt a little compassion
for her, and he sat me down on August twenty fifth.

(01:33):
I will never forget the day or the time. It
was four point thirty two pm. He asked me if
I would be okay with inviting his ex wife over
for labor day so she wouldn't be alone. I jumped
up and my husband ran out of the room. I
don't know what came over me. How did he fix
his mouth to ask me? That I went to my parents'

(01:54):
house to vent and get their advice. My mom agreed
with my husband and said that I'd be the bigger
per if I allowed the woman to come over. My
dad said that my husband is a big wooss. Needless
to say, the ex wife was not at my house
for labor day, and my husband is still pouting about it.
He says, I'm not trying to keep the peace. Was

(02:15):
I the one being immatured this time. Well, I got
to tell you that your mom is right, of course
in theory. I mean she's taking the Michelle Obama. When
they go low, we go high approach in this mess.
She wants you to be a bigger person. But while
it sounds good, I'm really in agreement with you. This
woman is immature and jealous and she's not gonna act right.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
I just don't see it.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
She's had too many chances to do the right thing,
and she's failed it every turn. She had her daughter's
designer bag and posted it on her Facebook. Why, I
mean that was unnecessary. You bought the bag for the baby,
not her. You would think she'd be happy and grateful
that you don't make a difference between your kids and
her kids. You treat them all the same. But no,
she continues to act up. You believe in holding her

(03:03):
accountable for her actions. Your husband doesn't. If you're feeling
a certain way about it, remember the bottom line at
your house, and if you're uncomfortable with having her there,
you don't have to, especially, you know, if it's not
really going right. The co parenting is not going well
between them. I think you guys would be better off
introducing her to some of your single male friends. If

(03:24):
you have any sense, you say she's happier when she
has a man.

Speaker 4 (03:28):
Steve, Well, I think we've run into a situation here
where we're trying to accommodate somebody, and that's not I
don't think that's what has to happen here. I think
it's very difficult. These blended families, these exes in all

(03:49):
like this. This is difficult, and you're gonna run into
some challenges. Now you the first two years of your marriage,
y'all worked hard to blend y'all kids, and y'all exits.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
Now here you go bragging a little bit.

Speaker 4 (04:03):
I've done a great job my ex husband because he's
remarried and his new wife is respectful and mature. My
husband's is still single, bitter and immature, and it's hard
to co parent with her.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
That's gonna be the problem.

Speaker 4 (04:18):
Once they see that a man has moved on, then
they figure they immediately want to blame the new one
as the reason why. I ain't really got nothing to
do with it. He didne just moved on. They didn't
work out. She told my husband that you intentionally buy
your children designer clothes because I know she can't afford

(04:38):
to buy them for her two daughter.

Speaker 3 (04:41):
Then when you bought her.

Speaker 4 (04:42):
Daughter a small designer daughter of a small designer bag,
the ex wife had it and she put it on Facebook.

Speaker 3 (04:49):
So now I ain't buying no more damn bad And I.

Speaker 4 (04:51):
Agree, that's the last damn bag that went over to
that house. Sit up in there, posting like you flexing
now with the baby bag, and you got to work
in it like it's yours.

Speaker 3 (05:04):
No, no, so it ain't no more bag. But she
was so evil until she met a nice man and
seemed to be happy.

Speaker 4 (05:14):
Oh, i've seen this movie, lord, No, I've seen this movie.
For a minute, I thought I had wrote the letter God.

Speaker 3 (05:25):
Yes, four minutes. But I ain't got no ex husband,
so that kind of move me out. Okay, okay.

Speaker 4 (05:34):
I felt better after that. And then met this nice man,
seem to be happy. Then he ghosted her. The children
said that they Mama accused a man of cheating, but
he was at Bible study and his pastor confirmed it.
Now once the pastor confirmed, yeah, he was at Bible story,
and you say he was cheating.

Speaker 3 (05:55):
See, now you don't even want to believe the truth.
He should have left. This is when Lyne come in here.
Wait what you heard me? He should have lied?

Speaker 4 (06:05):
I really Tea should have lied. He's gonna tell the
truth now. She don't believe the truth. The pastor confirmed
it this one line.

Speaker 3 (06:13):
Come in ahead, don't care anyway.

Speaker 4 (06:19):
Bitter Betty was back, and for some odd reason your
husband felt a little compassion for her and set me down.
On August twenty fifth, at four thirty two, Pete em
to ask me if i'd be okay inviting her over
for labor dates so she wouldn't be alone when I
come back.

Speaker 3 (06:40):
We're gonna deal with that, all right.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
We'll have part two of Steve's response coming up at
twenty three minutes after the hour. Today's Strawberry letter. Subject
She's coming over where. We'll get back into it right
after this.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
The subject is he's coming over where.

Speaker 4 (07:04):
Lady having trouble with her husband's ex, who's bitter alone,
got the two girls jealous of the way he has
this new family and moved on, but he's still taking
care of his children. He has a great relationship with
his daughters. They always over there, seemed like throughout this letter.
But the problem is she's bit and she's evil. She

(07:26):
makes life rough, accusing him of treating new family better
than hers. They buy the new by his daughters a
designer purse. The mama got it on Facebook postal with
the person. So now this wife and the letter say,
animo bags going over there and I a Greek you
you can put.

Speaker 3 (07:43):
Your last post up bag.

Speaker 4 (07:48):

she had, and now she's back to being bitter. And
then he'll never forget the day. It was Argus twenty
fiftheour thirty two. He asked me if i'd be okay
with inviting his ex wife over for labor day so

(09:27):
she wouldn't be alone.

Speaker 3 (09:29):
I jumped up. My husband ran out the room. He worried.
He ran out.

Speaker 4 (09:34):
He realized when the words came out his mouth that
he needed to get them back in. I said some stuff,
but I tried to it held the words back then,
But once they get out there, God if the deep breath.
