We got it for you. Here it is Strawberry Letter.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Thank you, nephew. Subject. His delivery is always so shocking?
Is this about Steve? I know we'll find out. Dear
Stephen Shirley. I met a man. We clicked. He showed
me his representative for the first few months. Now I
see some things that make me wonder if I want
to continue our relationship. These are things that I think
(00:48):
he can control. But he didn't act like this in
the beginning of our relationship. He has no filter in
anything he says or does, and his delivery is always
so shocking. I took an to meet my mom and
he unleashed the madness as soon as we got in
her driveway. He asked if I grew up in that
little house, and I could not believe him. He grew
(01:09):
up in the project, so I told him he had
no room to judge me. He said he wasn't judging,
he just asked a question. He continued to insult my
mom and I. He refused to sit down because he
said the dining room table was too dusty. I kept
cutting my eyes at him, but he didn't get it.
He is also very direct in the bedroom. Our first
(01:31):
sexual encounter was encounter was at his house after we
watched a movie. He said that I had teased him
long enough with my legs all across him, and I
rubbed and touched all over him, so we might as
well go to the bedroom so he could give me
what I really want. I was shocked, but a little
turned on. I had no idea that every sexual encounter
would start off like this. Now he'll usually say something like,
(01:55):
let's go on ahead and get this out of the way.
He told me that he always always been like this,
and it's probably why he's still single at forty two.
I cringe when he picks me up because if he's
asked me more than a few times, if I'm sure
I want to wear what I'm wearing, so I put
him in time out for a few days. If he's
(02:16):
not willing to change, Is there a way to tolerate
this bad behavior? Well, only you can determine that. Only
you can determine that. But I will say this.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Here we go again.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Women always want to change a man. You cannot change
a man. You can't do that. Only the man in
question can change himself if he wants to. This man
that you have right here is who he is. He
is his authentic self. You don't like it, and it's
okay that you don't like it. You don't have to
put up with it if you don't want to, and
(02:47):
why should you. But you have talked to him about
his delivery and how he comes across to you, haven't you.
You have to tell him how this makes you feel.
I mean, especially if you think he's being rude to
you and your mom. I must say, though, him asking
you if you grew up in that little house could
have meant just that, asking you a question like he said,
or him saying he wouldn't sit at your mom's table
(03:10):
because it was too dusty, because it was too dusty
while it was blunt? Was he lying? I mean, it
sounds like you're trying to find something anything wrong because
you don't like how he says things. You don't like
how he says what he says, especially when it comes
to sex. So you know, maybe if he can temper
how he says what he's saying, then maybe you guys
(03:31):
can have a chance. But yeah, it's that how that
has you shook?
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Steve Well, I don't think it's nothing to this letter
except maybe you know, have a little you know, reenact
me to how maybe this could go. You know, dealing
with a man ain't got no coof what you want
us to do. He ain't got no coof this dude
of the damn food, forty two years old, single talking
to people like that. You know, look is deal h
(04:02):
y'all clicked? He has no filter in anything he says
or does, and his delivery shocking. Let's just start with
this one. I took him to meet my mama. He
unleashed the madness as soon as we got in her driveway.
He as if I grew up in that little house.
What he said was you go up in the little
ragged ass's house.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Oh my goodness, what you send him?
Speaker 2 (04:27):
What we're finnah go in hire.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
That's what he really said.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Oh you it's it's wait a minute, it's some people
that live in here. You lying, So now you dealing
with that. Then he get in the house and he
said he wasn't sitting down at your mama's table because
it was too damn dusty. You cutting your eyes at
(04:52):
him and everything, trying to get his attention, but he
didn't get it. So now you just have a man
who just he do like want to do it even
when y'all got ready to have uh, you know, you're
a litt little fan of the first time, you know,
after y'all watch the movie, he said, I had teased
him long enough with my legs all across him, I
(05:14):
rubbed and touched him all over, so we might as
well gone, Ma'm gone, get on in his bedroom, gone,
break it off, gone and gone in here and give
you this here. Let me go on in here and
give you this here. What you want, Yeah, I know
what you want. And then you were shocked. But you
was a little turned on all right now, But I
can tell you what I've know. You got in there
(05:35):
and it wasn't what he said it was gonna be.
That's probably what you're mad about now here. Now every
time y'all go get hair sacred, they're going here and
get this on out the way.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
I just look, are you rubbing your forehead right now?
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Why is you tied something? More? I think? Yeah, I'm
just rubbing my face. I'm frustrated with this dude. I
just don't know what. When we come back, Shirley, yeah,
you'll give me a statement or ask me a question,
and I'm going to show you, not in a clean way,
(06:12):
of course, I'm gonna show you some of the shocking
things that this man would be saying. So when we
come back, Shirley, just ask me some questions, like we're
dating and we're going to meet somebody. Ask me the question,
and then I will give you the answer that mister
mister delivery, mister shocking delivery always does. All right, that's
