Speaker 2 (00:20):
Buggle up and hold on tight. Here it is. We
got it for you. Strawberry Letter.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Thank in a few subjects. He said, if I write y'all,
it's over. Here we go. Yes, it's over, Dear Stephen Shirley.
I've been with my fiance for six years and we've
been engaged for three of those years. I have gotten
in a fistfight with his mother twice, and I'm not
proud of that. But if you touch me, you're going
to get touched back. His mama is always in our affairs,
(00:49):
and she gives my man bad advice. We used to
stay with her because she was sick, but she told
me to get out one day after I got into
an argument with her son. I am bossy and I
naggle little, but her son fell in love with me,
so she needs to let us figure things out. The
final straw for me was when she invited my man's
ex lover to our wedding. I thought this woman was
(01:12):
a high school friend of my husband, so I didn't
mind inviting her to the wedding. But the other day,
my man was facetiming his mom and his mom asked
if I knew that he used to sleep with Faith.
I went and hung up on his mom, because now
I'm out here looking like Boo Boo the fool. I
texted Faith and asked her if she and Jerome had relations,
(01:33):
and she texted back that they did, but it was
years ago and now they're just friends. I can respect that,
so I'm not mad at her, But now I can't
help but wonder if he's had sex with any more
of his female friends. I don't think a man and
woman can be friends, Just like y'all have said on
the show, I blocked my man's mother from everything, so
(01:54):
she has zero access to me. My fiance said, if
I can't work out all of my issues with his
mom and accept his friendships with women, then we shouldn't
get married. He knows how much I love the Strawberry letter,
and he said if I write y'all, it's over. It
seems like his mind is made up. Should I cut
ties and move on? First of all, thank you for
(02:17):
loving the strawberry letter. All right, thank you for that.
We appreciate that very much. Sorry, your relationship is going
to be over because of this. But it seems like
this is a mess anyway. So it's about to be over,
whether you wrote us or not. But this mama's boy
you got here. He needs to take all that smoke
he has towards you, giving you all that stuff, and
(02:39):
get his mom out of your business. But he hasn't
done that, and this has gone on far too long.
And are you really saying that his mom his mother
put her hands on you, because I can't imagine physically
fighting a man's mother. Well, if she did that, she
was wrong, And you said you're not proud of what
you did either. I don't see how this relationship can
(02:59):
ever work because his mom clearly doesn't like you, She
disrespects you, and has no plans to stop doing that
after six years now, you're not going to be marrying
his mother, But she's too much a part of this relationship.
Your fiance has cited with her he will not give
up his female friends, and he has warned you against
writing a strawberry letter to Steve and I So I
(03:19):
don't see anywhere in this letter that he's trying to
make you happy and please you. Yes, I think his
mind is made up. So should you cut ties and
move on? You ask in a word, yes, Steve?
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Well, well, well, well, well, ain't this crazy letter? All right?
He's a dude's name Jerome? He said, if I write,
y'all this over. Well, now that you don put his
name in the letter and told everybody that you done
jumped on his mama, and his name is Jerome, it's
(03:55):
pretty much over. So we're not on here trying to
save this. This so engagement, this is not going to
turn into a marriage. This relationship don't even have marriage
wrote on it. But didn't she say that they got married?
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Yeah, that was a little confusing when she said she
didn't say they that they got married, but she was
inviting his friend to.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
The Yeah, because see she opened her letter up. I've
been with my fiance six years. We've been engaged for
three of those years. Okay, so that I thought they
were still engaged, and in those years she didn't got
no fight with him, Mama twice because you can't touch
me and expect not to get touched back. What the
(04:41):
kind of hood message you mama? Fighting? This ain't going
good now. Shirley thinks it's a mama's boy, but he's
not a mama's boy. You just got a nagging nose
mother in law. She's always in your fast. She give
(05:03):
your man bad advice. And then y'all used to stay
with her because she was sick, and she told me
to get out one day after I got an argument.
WHOA What you ain't finna do is be sick? Hit
me and put me out. Now you're sick ass, it's
gonna you're gonna get reminded of your sickness. I'm gonna
(05:25):
toss your sickness up in your face or you're gonna
get handled real quick cause you sick. I don't know
which one it is, but sick people don't normally act
like this. Now. I got into an argument with her
son after one day she told you to get out.
Now here's the problem with this letter. I am bossy
and I nag a little, but her son fell in
(05:49):
love with me, so she needs to let us figure
things out. No, no, no no. If you say you bossy
and you nag a little bit, Now, the bossy part
that's a given, but nagging a little bit, you might
as well just take little out of this. You bossy
and you nag a lot, and you say he fell
(06:10):
in love with you, But I want to show you something.
The final straw for me was when she invited my
man's ex level to our wedding. So now this six
year engagement has turned six year relationship has turned into
a wedding, and she invited her his ex lover to
the wedding. She still know her. That's the one she
(06:32):
wanted her boy to pick, but he picked you. This
ain't gonna work.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Hang on, we'll have part two of your response coming
up at twenty three minutes after the hour. Today's Strawberry letter.
Subject he said, if I write y'all, it's over. We'll
get back into it right after this, she wrote us.
You're listening Steve Hardy Morning Show. All right, Steve, come on,
let's recap today's strawberry letter. The subject is he said,
(06:59):
if I write y'all, it's over, Well.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
You wrote us, I'm assuming it's over. Yeah, I'm assuming
you don't care because you said in this letter you bossy,
and you nagg a little. So now you bossing him
because you're gonna do what you want to do. And
you nagging him because you done wrote the letter and
put his name in it and told him you'd have
swung on his mama. So now you bossing, nagging, and
(07:25):
you going nowe now and now and now this letter
this ugly. Uh, this is not a marriage. I don't
know how y'all gonna. Y'all not gonna make it. Man,
this thing is a wrap. The final straw for me
was she invited your man's ex lover to y'all's wedding.
I thought this woman was a high school friend of
my husband, so I didn't mind inviting her to the wedding.
(07:48):
But the day my man was facetiming his mom and
his mom asked me if I knew he used to
sleep with Faith, You done put her name in the
letter to you just dragging everybody, You bossing, dag a
little bit. You're nasty. So now Faith in the letter.
I went and hung up on his mom because now
I'm out here looking like Boo boo the fool. I
(08:11):
text Faith I don't know where you got faith number from.
You asked, comes she and Jerome have relationships? She text
me back and said they did, but it was years
ago and now they just friends. I can respect that,
so I ain't mad at her. Where did this good
sense come from all of a sudden in this letter?
Because you've been ignorant the whole lot, then all of
a sudden, this burst of this burst of us. You know,
(08:35):
I'm rashenous, but now I can't help but wonder if
he had sex with any more of his female friends. Okay,
but what difference is that gonna make? How you look like?
Boo boo the fool? You just didn't know? He didn't
tell you. But guess what, you ain't told him either.
(08:59):
He don't know all the names of everybody you've been with,
does he? No, he don't. I don't think a man
and woman can be friends like y'all have said on
the show. Well, well, okay, but that don't mean he
ain't had no female friend. But he'll go the problem though.
(09:21):
I block my man's mother from everything, so she has
zero access to me. My fiance said, if I can't
work out all my issues with his mom and accept
his friendships with women, then we shouldn't get married. Well,
that's the reddest flag I've ever seen. He stuck it
(09:42):
in the ground. Now, let me tell he threw his
mom in there as a bonus, cause he ain't upset
about you. With the mom, y'all have been in two
fistfights already. He's steal with you.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Imagine that. I can't imagine that.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
You probably ain't the first one, and Mom and I
swung on him. So I'm just telling you right now,
he just threw it. If I can't work out all
my issues with his mom and accept his friendships with women,
that's what you got to accept, then maybe we shouldn't
get married. Now he knows how much I love the
(10:16):
Strawberry letter. He said, if I write y'all this over,
it seems like his mind is made up. Should I
cut ties and moved on? No? He has he done
told you if you write us, it's over. You wrote
us because you bossy. You do like you want to do,
and you nag, and you kind of you a little dirty. Now,
(10:38):
you don't put his mom out there. You don't put
faith out there. Faith ain't even want to be in
the damn letter. You don't put faith out there, and
you don't put his name out there. Hey, hey, Roamy,
what's that having? So now what there's nothing we can
tell you in this letter except it's over now. Has
(11:01):
he slept with some other women? Yeah? Probably? Yeah? Yeah?
Are they friends? I don't know that, but I don't know.
But that's one I don't I can't. Well, let me
just go out on the limb here. Listen to me. Oh,
(11:24):
I've done so many things in my life. Yes, I'm
not proud of everything I'm done. Mm hmm, but I
do have fond memories of those times that I did
those things that I'm not proud of. Okay, yeah, you
(11:46):
know we've all done something we wasn't proud of.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
But yeah, at the moment at the time, yeah, you're
saying this, why I.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Was not only proud, I was fulfilled?
Speaker 1 (11:57):
What why some things I'm not proud of At the moment,
I was overjoyed when it was why are you putting
your business out there?
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Why? Because she doesn't put him mama business out there,
faith business out there. It's your er own business. And
this relationship is over, y'all not figured man, y'all didn't
even need to get married. You need to work on yourself.
You need to quit being bossy and naggy, and then
you need to find a man that ain't got all
these female friends and talking about. First of all, he
(12:29):
not willing to put you in front of his mama
or them women. That's the first thing. You gonna take
her and them or you gonna lose me. So he
ain't putting you in front of the mama, and you
ain't going in front of his friends. So now you third.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
You third over.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Yeah, it don't sound good at all. It's over. I
don't care.
