Speaker 2 (00:18):
All right, ladies and jentlemen, it's time for the Strawberry
Letter with my good friend Shirlie Strawberry.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Thank you, my good friend. Junior's subject tomorrow isn't promised?
Do it today? Dear Stephen Shirley, I'm married to a
man that won't have sex with me. He rations it
out to me based on how I treat him. He's
eight years older than me, and when we got married,
I was twenty two years old, so I looked to
him for guidance and financial support. I started an online
(00:45):
boutique after my twenty fifth birthday, and my husband started
to resent me. After I started making a lot of
sales and a lot of money. He told me I
couldn't consider my business as being successful until I paid
him back the money he loaned me to start my business.
He was serious, so I went and withdrew a lump
sum and handed it to him. Since then, excuse me,
(01:08):
it's been one thing after the other. Now, he says,
I am too career oriented to be a wife and
take care of him. I'm twenty seven now and I
want to enjoy my earnings and take.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
A few trips to see the world.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
He goes on extravagant business trips and he doesn't invite me.
He tells me, I need to focus on my business.
So while he was on a business trip two months ago,
I decided to live my life and go out with
my girls. I ended up having a one night stand,
and after a few days, I decided to go back
for seconds. I also ran into an old flame and
(01:43):
we have sex almost daily. Life is too short to
be stressed, so I decided to live.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
In the moment.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Now I'm a lot more relaxed when my husband lectures
me or minimizes the success of my business. Recently, I
decided to open a small boutique in a marketplace. My
husband hit the roof and shouted out two million reasons
why it wouldn't work.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
The other two men in my life.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Support me and are helping me set up the boutique.
I just have to make sure they're not there at
the same time. Tomorrow isn't promise, So should I divorce
my husband so I can live my life to the fullest. Well,
it sounds like you're already living your life to the fullest.
That's exactly what you're doing. I mean, you're living your
life on your terms now. Is it morally right? Of
(02:28):
course not, because you are a married woman and you're
cheating on your husband with two men. But your husband,
you know, hasn't been supportive and you don't get any
love or sex from him. He's withholding sex based on
the way you treat him. You say, But what have
you done to mistreat him before the two men came
in your life? You opened a successful business. Is that
(02:50):
mistreating your husband? Isn't that what you're supposed to do
in life. You're a young woman with a career and
he should be there to encourage you and to lift
you up. You paid him back his seed money and
he's still mad. He should be happy, he should be
proud of his wife. He's none of those things. And
you already have one foot out the door. This marriage
isn't working for either of you. Neither one Steve, your
(03:14):
husband is a hater.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Yeah, it's just gonna get out. You know these letters
right here, y'all, I don't really play around too much.
Your husband is a hater. This is what happens to haters.
Strange things happen.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
The letter.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Do me for it, Loop, I ain't gonna lie to you.
I wasn't expecting you to say that because the title
is Tomorrow's in promise. Do it today. You open a
letter with I'm married to a man that won't have
sex with me. Well that's problem. He rations it out
(03:57):
to me based on I treat him.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
I'll be damn you can do that. What men have
that type of pull?
Speaker 2 (04:11):
What this has got up? Be some new fangle stuff
right here? He eight years older than me. We got
married when I was twenty two. What's going on here?
This is something? I don't know what generation this is,
y'all in right now, like XYZ, I don't know what
(04:32):
it is. I don't know what your new millennials. I
don't know what this is. If you uh dcrown, I
don't know. They have so many different names and pronouns
for stuff now, I don't.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
I don't know what to call you.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Young and dumb. Maybe it's the yd yd young and dumb.
I don't know what generation this is.
Speaker 3 (04:51):

Speaker 2 (04:53):
Some of these letters like really opened my eyes because
I didn't know you could.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
And and then you started, on your twenty fifth birthday
year open up a boutique online boutique, and you started
making a lot of sales and a lot of money.
And then your husband told you you can't consider your
business successful until you pay me back the money I
loaned you to start your business. He was serious. You
went that day, you ain't saved up. You went and
withdrew a lump sum and handed it to him. Since then,
(05:24):
there's been one thing after not See that messed him
up because obviously he don't know how much money you're
making on the online business. You can't call yourself success
as you give me the money I paid you back.
You went here. He went, Oh, hell, this is how
the conversation went. Pay you back here. See he thought
that was gonna throw you into something. He thought you
gonna have to save up all this heit ain't no problem.
(05:46):
Let me go get it. Let me go get this

he went all, hell, now you to mess him up? Now,
