Speaker 1 (00:26):
It is Strawberry lad, Thank you, neph you subject his
son better quit trying me. Dear Stephen Shirley, I'm forty
four years old and my boyfriend is fifty eight. I
moved in with him after we dated for three months.
He believes it was love at first sight, and I
was beginning to think that until I met his forty
year old son. When my boyfriend asked me to move in,
(00:50):
his son had a problem with it, and I would
hear my boyfriend arguing with him on the phone. He
thought his dad was moving too fast, and he told
him that I'm a gold digger. My boyfriend is not
rich at all, but he's financially stable, so of course
that was appealing to me. I kept suggesting that my
boyfriend's son come by the house to meet me, but
(01:11):
he refused to come over. Then, out of the blue,
he started following me on Instagram. I figured that was
a start, so I followed him back. Days later, he
DMed me and asked if I would meet him without
his dad around. I agreed to meet him meet him
for a drink, but I got his dad's approval first.
He was happy that his son had a change of heart.
(01:35):
I dressed like I would normally dress, in my leggings
and matching shirt with sneakers. His son gave me a long,
tight hug and said he was sorry for being so
evil toward me, and he wanted to get to know
me better. He commented on my ankle bracelet and said
I was sexy from head to toe. Surely this man
is sexy from head to toe too. He felt really
(01:59):
good the right places when his body was pressed up
against mine. Since that day, he told his dad that
he's really impressed with me. He hasn't stopped dming me,
and he started sending me pictures of his outfits, asking
what he should wear on dates. This isn't normal and
it's turning me on. He knows exactly what he's doing,
(02:20):
and he better quit trying me. Should I tell my
boyfriend what's going on? Well, you know, in this letter
you're hinting at a lot of things without actually saying
saying what's really going on? But the question is what
are you doing? You say, the son knows exactly what
he's doing. So again I ask you, what are you doing?
(02:41):
Please don't do anything. Don't you dare do anything that
could break up this father and son. And that could
happen if you tell your boyfriend what you think his
son is up to. Yes, his son is flirting with you,
he finds you sexy, attractive, blah blah blah, your ankle bracelet,
all of that. But you daddy's girlfriend and cannot cross
that line. That's fouled. The fact that you're even entertaining
(03:03):
the thought of getting with his son is crazy. You're
the adult here and you're dating and living with this
young man's father, okay, and you're getting turned on by
his son's pictures. Please don't do this. Mess with his son,
and you'll be homeless basically because you live with the dad. Remember,
your man is not going to stand for this. I
(03:24):
don't see how you don't see that. I mean, this
is his son, Steve.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Surely you one percent correct? Everything you said is spot on.
I don't even really have a different view of this.
I'm so I'm not.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Lady.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
You've written us a letter saying a whole lot of
everything without trying to say it. So you want me
and Shirley to read between the lines. Well, okay, then
let's go between the lines. You forty four, your boyfriend
in fifty eight. He thinks it was love his first sight,
and I was beginning to think it was too.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Until I met his forty year old son.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Okay, Now what they got to do with love at
first sight between you and your boyfriend? Oh, I see,
because everybody you meet you fall in love with at
first sight. That's what it sounded like to me until
I met his forty your old son. Now, when your
boyfriend asked you to move in, his son had a
(04:25):
problem with it. Thought his dad was moving too fast,
thought you was a gold digger.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
You said you're not.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
But he is financially stable, so you said, of course
that was appealing to you. I kept suggesting that the
boyfriend son come by the house, but he refused. Then
after blue. He started following you on Instagram. I figured
that was a start, so I followed him back. Then
he DMed you and asked you if you would meet
(04:55):
with him without his dad around. The right there, obviously
something happening on your ig page. Boy, he'd have went, okay,
hold on, So me with him without my daddy around.
I agreed to meet him for a drink, but I
got his dad's approval. Now that was smart. But you
(05:18):
forty four going to meet a forty old man for
a drink? Okay, that didn't sound like it. Mighty well? Okay,
I guess he was happy that his son had to
change your heart. I'm a little bit confused, though. Wait
a minute, y'all. So if the sun is forty and
(05:39):
you fifty?
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Okay? So he had the baby when.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
He was eighteen eighteen? Yeah, okay, cool, My.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Bad, I had wrong number.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
His son gave me a long, tight hug and said
he was sorry for being so evil towards me. He
wanted to get to know you better, commented on your
ankle bracelet, said I was sexy from head to toe.
Then the lady turns that letter directly to Shirley, and
she goes Sheryl Lee.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
This man is sexy from head to.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Toe to woo.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
And you heard Shirley's reaction woo and she and her
voice is fainting. So yes, y'all can relate. He felt
really good in all the right places when his body
was pressed up against my lady.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
We know what you're saying. We know exactly what you're saying.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
And ever since that day he told his daddy was
impressed with you, he started dming you, showing y'all fits.
He knows what he's doing. Should I tell my boyfriend
what's going on? When we come back, I'll tell you that.
Speaker 1 (06:43):

Speaker 3 (07:36):
This is letters about this forty four year old woman
moved in with her fifty eight year old boyfriend. He
has a forty year old son, whose son told him,
you're moving too fast. This woman's a gold digger. She
says she's not, but her fifty eight year old boyfriend
is financially stable, so that was an appeal to him.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
She told the boys.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
The younger guy's always had a problem with her. He said,
come buy the house and meet She said, come out
the house.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
And meet me.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
He refused, but then he started following her on Instagram.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
She followed him back, she did.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
He the young dude the son he dm trying to
ask her the meeting for drinks they met. She told
the boyfriend she was going to meet with him. He
was happy because his son now had a different view
of it. They went out to lunch for drinks and
hugged each other, and he felt good in all the
(08:34):
right places. He told her she was sexy from head
to toe. She told Shirley he was sexy from head
to toe too. Now he's sending her pictures of outfits
he wearing on dates, asking her what she thinks. Now,
she say he know what he doing. He better stop
trying me. Then he wants to know shit, I tell
(08:56):
my boyfriend what he's doing. Well, are you also going
to tell your boyfriend what you're doing? You know that's
right that you entertain in this that you find him
sexy and attractive. Are you gonna tell your boyfriend all this?
I don't think you are. So if you're gonna tell
him the whole thing, don't tell him nothing. I think
(09:17):
what you do is you get you need to quit
playing this cat and mouse game because you're gonna be
the mouse.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
You dealing with.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Two and one of my old tom Cat and that's
your man, and then you dealing with Alley Cat that's
his son. Now you're the only mouse on the on
the game board. What you think is gonna happen? Sureley
said it right. If you tell him you're gonna mess
around be homeless. But if you continue this antics like
(09:45):
you're doing, if you continue to entertain this like you're doing,
if you keep trying to play around, here we go
round the Marlberry bush, the Marlberry Bush, the Marberry Bush.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Here we go round the Marlerry bush. Keep on, lord us.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Ali Walk said, then, okay, all this, you know what's
gonna happen. You gonna end up with the boyfriend and
the boyfriend's son.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
And you ain't that much woman.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
You can stop playing this game, little girl, because this
ain't gonna work out for you. I don't know what
else to tell you. This just is not going to work.
And should you tell him no? Unless you're gonna tell him,
oh the whole thing, because you've been playing back now
because see okay, now, when he send you the pictures
(10:41):
of the outfit of what you could wear, what have
you been saying in your comments? Because the reason he
keeps sending you outfits is because you keep making a comment.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
On the outfit.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
And Steve, she said it turned her on.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
I like to wait in beads parents, and who shoe is?
Speaker 1 (11:00):
She?
Speaker 2 (11:01):
I showed what it was to be. See that's what
you're typing back.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
So unless you're gonna show that you can't tell this
man that his son is trifling and not telling me
you trifling too.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
So you're in a dilemma.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
If I were you, I would find a way to
just stop, cut off all contact with the boy and
gonna live your life with this man, or or or
just lead a man alone and go on where you
was at. But then you're gonna have a young boy
with the house.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
See so, lady, I don't know how you rolled us
and what you think we're gonna do, but I think
you kind of tricky. So I'm gonna just let you
have this him any questions, anybody, anybody wanna come in.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
But the boy is still dming her, Steve, He's still
because she's encouraging him. Huh you know she she says,
the boy is still in.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Yeah, yeah, because of the comments she's making back about
the outfit. He's sending the opinion of his outfit and
she's commenting back, and he going, okay, got him?
Speaker 2 (12:13):
What about this one? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Yeah, she was up to no good and don't be
putting my name in this. Surely he was fine what
she needed some back off?
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Uh? Uh?
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Course he might be cute, but that doesn't mean you
gotta get with him just because he's cute.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Son, I think it's a compliment to you, and she
wants your opinion because I think it's cougar talk.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
I'm not a cougar.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
I think it's cougar talking. Well, Charlie, if you just
forty your old boy, now.

Speaker 3 (13:01):
You know, that's how cougars do what you know, they
admire each other's work.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
You can just admire like you admire a fine woman,
same thing. You don't have to admire a fine young man. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Yeah, but she acted on it though.
