All right, nephew, thank you. Subject we could never be
more than friends. Dear Stephen Shirley. I'm thirty seven and
I've been married for eleven years to my best friend.
We met in eighth grade and we've been in love
since then. We also had a lot of We also
have a lot of close friends from the past that
we still hang out with. We went to rival high school,
(00:47):
so my wife is not friendly with some of my
female friends. I feel blessed that she isn't bothered by
me hanging with my female friends. But recently I went
too far with one of my friends and the first
time I almost had sex with this friend. She said
if we have sex, she wouldn't stop until I was
all hers. That kept me away from her for a while,
(01:12):
but then I got upset with my wife in March,
and I went running to my friend's house to vent.
Just seeing my friend made me cheer up, and she
felt so good pressed up against me. When we hugged,
I got really caught up, and we had sex a
few times. She reminded me that if we went all
the way, she was going to become a problem in
(01:33):
my life. I should have heeded the warning. Since that night,
she has not been the same around me and other friends,
so I've stopped going out with my homies. I have
given her money and gifts to apologize for whatever she
might be going through, but I had to stop sending
her things because she might use them against me. Yesterday
(01:53):
I tried to smooth things over to see where her
head is. I told her that we can never be
more than friends. I told her I was not leaving
my wife. She took the news so well that I'm
afraid of what might come next. She has no reason
to be hurt because she knew what was up from
the start. I'm scared for my life and my marriage.
(02:16):
Am I handling this situation with my friend the right way.
Please help. Okay, So here you go. What you did
was really, really stupid, and now you want Steve and
I to fix your mess.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
You admit it to starting.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
It when you said you went too far, when you
almost had sex with one of your friends. That's what
makes you so trifling as a husband, because you did
eventually have sex with this woman, not once, not twice,
but you say a few times.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
So you're going to get what's coming to you.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
I mean, the friend is holding it over your head,
the possibility that she might tell your wife, and you
should be scared because she might. Yeah, she took the news. Well,
but that's yeah, that's dangerous. Are you handling the situation right?
You ask, Well, you're giving her gifts and money and
all this stuff. But just like life, there are no guarantees.
(03:12):
You dug this hole. So you know you gotta deal
with the consequences whinning if they come, Steve, and they're
gonna come, you know what.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Man, again, here we are, here we are with this
opposite sex friendship. I don't know how many times I

y'all this, But okay, y'all keep y'all keep writing in,
We'll keep going over. I don't even know what this
information is about. You wanna tell us you thirty seven?
(03:44):
You want to tell us you've been married eleven years
to your best friend. Y'all met in eighth grade. Y'all
been in love every since. There's some mo Euston's information.
We went to rival high school. So my wife is
not friendly with some of my female friends. It's not
because of the rival high school. Nobody's still doing that.
(04:06):
She not friendly with your girlfriends because she don't know them.
They're not her friends. Ain't got nothing to do with
our high school rival. You're stupid man here the ignorant parse.
I feel blessed that she isn't bothered by me hanging
with my female friends. What, brother, I can't believe you
(04:32):

Speaker 5 (04:37):
Me hanging with my female friends. Oh do you really? Okay?
So what are we gonna do in this letter?
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Let's take advantage of the blessing. Let's use the blessing.
Let's let this blessing work for our benefit. I'm so

one of my friends. Oh well, let's hear this right here,
(05:08):
I'm here, I'm here for this. Let's hear how you
went too far with none of your friends, because I

But then you and your wife had a fall out
in March, and you went running over to your friend's.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
House to vent.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
And then you said, just seeing my friend made me
cheer up. What is it about your friend that when
you see them it cheers you up. Well, you want
to know what it was. It was her looks, it
was whole body, and just seeing my friend made me chill.
(06:10):
And she felt so good pressed up against me when
we hugged. I ain't never said that about my friend.
And me and my homies hug when we see each other,
and now one of them felt good pressed up against

up against each other.

Okay, let me just bring you up speed real quick.
Here's a man that's been married for eleven years for
his eighth grade level. They've been friends. They whole like
they've been married eleven years. He has female friends. He
keeps saving, I told you all about this, But he
says he feels blessed that his wife don't have a
problem with her female friends.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
Because they from rival high schools.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Well, the rivalry of the high school is because the
one of his girl and went to different school than
his girl friends, and they don't know each other. So
he says he don't have a problem with that. But
then he got sexually involved with one of his friends.
How because I told y'all, you can't have opposite sex
(08:16):
friends all the time. So but she told him, the
girl told him, if you have sex with me one time,
I'm gonna be a problem, and I'm gonna be a
problem until I have you all to myself. So that
kept him away for a while. Then one night in March,
him and his wife got into an argument. He ran
over the girlfriend's house to vent. As soon as the
girl opened the door, he felt good about it. Then
(08:39):
when they hugged and her body was pressed against his,
he felt so wonderful, and so then they had sex.
You have sex with your friend. I'd have told y'all
about these friends. I have friends. We ain't never had sex.
I'll have sex with my friends. We're friends. If you're
a female friend, let's stop this.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
I know you. I'm friendly towards you.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
I help you if you need anything, But don't press
up against me. Now, I'm just letting you know, don't
press up against me.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
I ain't that. So Anyway, they.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
Had sex, and then all of a sudden, the girl
changed around her and her other friends. So he tried
to make up to her and send her some gifts
and buy her some stuff, but she kept tripping. So
finally he wanted to go over there and see where
her head at. But she told you where her head was.
If you sleep with me, I'm gonna be a problem.
So he stopped sending her stuff because she might use
(09:40):
him against me. Yesterday I tried to smooth things over
to see where her head was at.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
She told you where her head was at.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
And now your question is she has no reason to
be hurt because she knew what it was from the start.
No food, you knew what it was from the start.
She was gonna be a problem. Now, he say, Now
I'm scared for my life and my man, what now
you scared for your life? And your marriage. How crazy
(10:07):
is she? She told you she was crazy. I'm gonna
be a problem. Am I handling this situation with my
friend the right way?
Speaker 5 (10:14):
Bruh? Quick?
Speaker 4 (10:15):
Calling her your friend? She your lover, and she told
you she was gonna be a problem if you came
up here and y'all got it together. Please help, No,
we not gonna help because you don't need no mad help.
You need to stop cheating because you don't know how
it is. She told you up front the rules of
cheating with her. She keeping her word.

It was high school sweetheart. They've been in love every since.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
But he says that and his wife isn't friends with
any of his friends because they went to rival high schools. Okay,
that ain't why she not friends with none of your friends.
Speaker 5 (11:59):
It's because she don't know.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
And then he says, but I feel so blessed that
she doesn't have a problem with.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
Me hanging out with my female friends. See that is
a lie. That's a lie.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Because she don't know what you and your female friends
is do. So Pardner, stop stop saying stuff that's ignorant
and not true. Women are not cool with you and
your female friend. They got one out on you and
one out on your friend at all times, at all times, homie,
(12:38):
because she trying to figure out is she supposed to
be your best friend?
Speaker 5 (12:42):
What does these other god tombs for it. You tell a.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
Woman that she your best friend, then she gonna wonder
what these other female friends is for. So you said,
you feel blessed that she ain't bothered by you hanging
with him. And then recently, I went too far with
one of my friends. Oh really, because I ain't never
went too far with none of my friends, because all
my friends is men. Here we go. First time I
(13:13):

had sex, she wouldn't stop till I was all heard. Well,
that kept me away for a while. But then one
day you got upset with your wife at March and
when you running over to your friend's house vitting, and
as soon as you saw her it felt better. What
is it about her that made you feel better? And
then guess what you said? She felt so good?
Speaker 5 (13:33):
Pressed up against me when we're.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Hug You know, when I see my homies that I've
been friends with for fifty years, sixty years, when we
see each other, we hugged, but we don't press up
against each other. That ain't what we're doing. But you
pressed up against her when we hugged, it felt so good.
I got really caught up and we had sex a
(13:55):
few times. She reminded me that if we went all
the way, she was going to become a problem in
my life. I should have heeded the water. How you
did it? She told you. Do you know what she said?
Speaker 5 (14:07):
Listen to me.

can come over here every time something wrong because don't
nobody live here.
Speaker 5 (14:36):

can come over here and get some of this crazy
thing if you want to. But when you get it
and I put it on you, I'm gonna put all
the rest of it on I'm gonna be a problem.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
But you kept going over there. I should have heeded
the water.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Well, since that night, she has not been the same
around me and my other friends, so I stopped going
out with my hobess. What your hobess you're referring to
the other female friends and guys. Of course, I've given
her money and gifts to apologize for whatever she might
be going through.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
She going through what she told you she was gonna do.
If you come over here and sleep.
Speaker 4 (15:16):

Cheating is not what you do. You're not good at it.
You're real scary. You don't know none of the rules.

You ain't set up, no guidelines, you ain't had a conversation.
You just did what the girl told you not to do.

a problem. Now, yesterday I tried to smooth things over

She told you that I told her that we can
never be more than friends.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
Prod.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
You've already crossed the line of friendship. Why do y'all
keep using this term friends for people that you are
more than friends with? It is so hard to be
friends with the opposite sex, especially if there's any form
of a trash.
Speaker 5 (16:24):
I told her, I'm not leaving my wife.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
She took the news so well that I'm afraid of
what might come next. I know how that I ain't
ever leaving my wife. She said, Okay, you know good
and well. In the back of her mind she was going,
but what did I tell you? Though, I'm finna be
a whole problem for you, gone back over that tool.
(16:46):
She has no reason to be hurt because she knew
what it was from the start.
Speaker 5 (16:51):
No, she didn't. You knew what it was from the start.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
She told you if you sleep with me, I'm gonna
be a problem. You knew what it was from the star.
She don't do what she says. She said, she promised
you she was gonna be a problem. That's what she's
finn to be. I'm scared for my life. What if
she knew what? You're scared for your life?

(08:16):
friends all the time. So but she told him, the
girl told him, if you have sex with me one time,
I'm gonna be a problem, and I'm gonna be a
problem until I have you all to myself. So that
kept him away for a while. Then one night in March,
him and his wife got into an argument. He ran
over the girlfriend's house to vent. As soon as the
girl opened the door, he felt good about it. Then
(08:39):
when they hugged and her body was pressed against his,
he felt so wonderful, and so then they had sex.
You have sex with your friend. I'd have told y'all
about these friends. I have friends. We ain't never had sex.
I'll have sex with my friends. We're friends. If you're
a female friend, let's stop this.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
I know you. I'm friendly towards you.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
I help you if you need anything, But don't press
up against me. Now, I'm just letting you know, don't
press up against me.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
I ain't that. So Anyway, they.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
Had sex, and then all of a sudden, the girl
changed around her and her other friends. So he tried
to make up to her and send her some gifts
and buy her some stuff, but she kept tripping. So
finally he wanted to go over there and see where
her head at. But she told you where her head was.
If you sleep with me, I'm gonna be a problem.
So he stopped sending her stuff because she might use
(09:40):
him against me. Yesterday I tried to smooth things over
to see where her head was at.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
She told you where her head was at.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
And now your question is she has no reason to
be hurt because she knew what it was from the start.
No food, you knew what it was from the start.
She was gonna be a problem. Now, he say, Now
I'm scared for my life and my man, what now
you scared for your life? And your marriage. How crazy
(10:07):
is she? She told you she was crazy. I'm gonna
be a problem. Am I handling this situation with my
friend the right way?
Speaker 5 (10:14):
Bruh? Quick?
Speaker 4 (10:15):
Calling her your friend? She your lover, and she told
you she was gonna be a problem if you came
up here and y'all got it together. Please help, No,
we not gonna help because you don't need no mad help.
You need to stop cheating because you don't know how
it is. She told you up front the rules of
cheating with her. She keeping her word.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
All Right, Come on Steve Let's recap today's Strawberry letter.
We could never be more than friends.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
This letter is so ignorant to me. Once again, this
is a letter about and I have told you all
about these opposite sex friends. I've told you about this.
I can't count the times. But here we are again.
Thirty seven year old man been married eleven years to
his very best friend.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
It was high school sweetheart. They've been in love every since.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
But he says that and his wife isn't friends with
any of his friends because they went to rival high schools. Okay,
that ain't why she not friends with none of your friends.
Speaker 5 (11:59):
It's because she don't know.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
And then he says, but I feel so blessed that
she doesn't have a problem with.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
Me hanging out with my female friends. See that is
a lie. That's a lie.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Because she don't know what you and your female friends
is do. So Pardner, stop stop saying stuff that's ignorant
and not true. Women are not cool with you and
your female friend. They got one out on you and
one out on your friend at all times, at all times, homie,
(12:38):

be your best friend?
Speaker 5 (12:42):

Woman that she your best friend, then she gonna wonder
what these other female friends is for. So you said,
you feel blessed that she ain't bothered by you hanging
with him. And then recently, I went too far with
one of my friends. Oh really, because I ain't never
went too far with none of my friends, because all
my friends is men. Here we go. First time I
(13:13):
almost had sex with this friend. She said if we
had sex, she wouldn't stop till I was all heard. Well,
that kept me away for a while. But then one
day you got upset with your wife at March and
when you running over to your friend's house vitting, and
as soon as you saw her it felt better. What
is it about her that made you feel better? And
then guess what you said? She felt so good?
Speaker 5 (13:33):
Pressed up against me when we're.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Hug You know, when I see my homies that I've
been friends with for fifty years, sixty years, when we
see each other, we hugged, but we don't press up
against each other. That ain't what we're doing. But you
pressed up against her when we hugged, it felt so good.
I got really caught up and we had sex a
(13:55):
few times. She reminded me that if we went all
the way, she was going to become a problem in
my life. I should have heeded the water. How you
did it? She told you. Do you know what she said?
Speaker 5 (14:07):
Listen to me.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
If you run up on me and we do and gage,
i'mnna be a proper You know what i'd heard.
Speaker 5 (14:16):
Listen to me, I'm crazy.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
I'm gonna tell you right now, right now.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
I'm gonna bring down your whole fort if you sleep
with me, and the reason you I'm a reason. You
can come over here every time something wrong because don't
nobody live here.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
You know why don't nobody live here?
Speaker 4 (14:37):
Because everybody found out how crazed I am. Then you
can come over here and get some of this crazy
thing if you want to. But when you get it
and I put it on you, I'm gonna put all
the rest of it on I'm gonna be a problem.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
But you kept going over there. I should have heeded
the water.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Well, since that night, she has not been the same
around me and my other friends, so I stopped going
out with my hobess. What your hobess you're referring to
the other female friends and guys. Of course, I've given
her money and gifts to apologize for whatever she might
be going through.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
She going through what she told you she was gonna do.
If you come over here and sleep.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
With me, I'm gonna be a problem, and I'm not
gonna stop until you all mine. And then I've given
her money and gifts to apologize for whatever she might
be going through. But I had to stop sending her
things because she might use them against me.
Speaker 5 (15:30):
Man, you stupid man. Hey man, let me tell you something.
Cheating is not what you do. You're not good at it.
You're real scary. You don't know none of the rules.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
You ain't set up, no guidelines, you ain't had a conversation.
You just did what the girl told you not to do.
You slept with and she said she was gonna be
a problem. Now, yesterday I tried to smooth things over
to see where her head is.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
I'll tell you where her head is. She crazy.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
She told you that I told her that we can
never be more than friends.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
Prod.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
You've already crossed the line of friendship. Why do y'all
keep using this term friends for people that you are
more than friends with? It is so hard to be
friends with the opposite sex, especially if there's any form
of a trash.
Speaker 5 (16:24):
I told her, I'm not leaving my wife.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
She took the news so well that I'm afraid of
what might come next. I know how that I ain't
ever leaving my wife. She said, Okay, you know good
and well. In the back of her mind she was going,
but what did I tell you? Though, I'm finna be
a whole problem for you, gone back over that tool.
(16:46):
She has no reason to be hurt because she knew
what it was from the start.
Speaker 5 (16:51):
No, she didn't. You knew what it was from the start.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
She told you if you sleep with me, I'm gonna
be a problem. You knew what it was from the star.
She don't do what she says. She said, she promised
you she was gonna be a problem. That's what she's
finn to be. I'm scared for my life. What if
she knew what? You're scared for your life?
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Right?
Speaker 5 (17:12):
Okay?
