Thank you for you. Subject.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
I catfished my wife's new boyfriend. Dear Stephen Shirley. I've
been with my wife since we were in high school.
I can't lie. I've cheated a couple of times, but
those women never meant anything to me. Our sex life
was terrible. After my wife had our son, she couldn't
get the weight off and she told me she lost
your sex drive because of it. I felt like cheating

(00:54):
was my only option. Now that the tables have turned,
I realized how stupid I was and how much fidelity
hurts the other person. So here's my story. My wife
got on weight loss medicine and she's lost twenty pounds.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
She is confident and fly.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
Like she was when she was twenty one, but she
will not let me get near her. She started hiding
her phone from me, so I knew what was up.
I checked her phone and saw the messages from her boyfriend.
He said he's falling in love with her. Apparently he's
married too. I kept reading and realized he's pressuring her

(01:30):
to sleep with him, and she kept telling him she's
not a cheater. So I did what any husband would do.
I kept her phone. She thought she lost it in
the grocery store, and I told her I would order
her a new one. She had no idea that I
was talking to her boyfriend, and he thought I was her.
He agreed to come to my house to see my wife,

(01:54):
thinking that she'd be home alone. He came over Saturday,
and I waited for him to pull up. I went outside.
My wife didn't react when she saw him. I told
that dude, who is overweight, that my wife is off limits,
and I will tell his wife and show her the
text if he ever reached out to my wife again.
I went inside and gave my wife her phone back.

(02:16):
She said I had no right to do that. Was
I supposed to let her cheat? How can she be
mad at me for this, well for so many reasons.
But first off, let's get to this guy that she's
talking to, the one you call her boyfriend. He's stupid.
He came to your house. He should have never done that,
even if you did catfish him. Okay, but there is

(02:39):
so much going on in this letter and not going
on at this letter, in this letter at the same time.
I mean, we all know there's a double standard. We
know that, which is why you brush off your infidelities
like they're nothing. I cheated a couple of times, you know,
you just like it's nothing. But you're really held your
wife's feet to the fire because you think she's cheating.

(03:01):
You don't even know she's cheating. You said you felt
like cheating was your only option after your wife gained
so much weight and lost her interest in sex after
having a baby, I might add, but instead of being
supportive of her and helping her through what had to
be a very difficult time in her life, you went
out and cheated. That was your solution, that was your

(03:24):
answer to the problem. Well, she got herself together, didn't
she No thanks to you, and she flipped the script
on you. And now you're mad and feeling some kind
of way. But this is a result of you looking
outside your marriage to find some sort of solution to
the problems you had inside your marriage, your marital problems.

(03:45):
But dude, you weren't there when she needed you right
after having your baby. I mean, she even told this
guy friend of hers that she's not a cheater. She
hasn't cheated with this guy, but you're still trying to
catch her doing something. I guess the good thing is
that it's all out in the open now. So what
are you guys gonna do?

Speaker 4 (04:03):
Steve, This letter gets over really really quickly. This man
was talking about he's been with his wife since high school.
Then he says opening line, I can't lie. I've cheated
a couple of times, but those women never meant anything
to me. When you type that and you send it

(04:24):
in to a radio show, bruh, well what do you
hope to accomplish with that line? I've cheated a couple
of times, but those women meant nothing to me. Broh,
I can tell you something. That line accomplishes nothing.

Speaker 5 (04:45):
I don't know what you.

Speaker 4 (04:46):
Hoped it would accomplish, But let me just tell you,
as a person who's read several of these letters.

Speaker 5 (04:52):
It accomplishes nothing.

Speaker 4 (04:54):
Then he says, our sex life was terrible after my
wife had our She couldn't get the weight off, and.

Speaker 5 (05:02):
She told me she lost her sex drive because of it.

Speaker 4 (05:06):
Way minute though, your sex life was terrible after what
she had a baby. Now, look, dog, see that is
how we don't have the ability to do that. It
just looks pretty traumatic to me. It just really really does.
It is women who have had children. It looks really

(05:28):
really hard. I never had one, and I'm just telling
you just from what I could see that, I ain't
got nothing with what I felt, none of that.

Speaker 5 (05:38):
It looks really hard.

Speaker 4 (05:40):
It's harder than golf. It's harder than climbing the corporate letter.
It's harder than being talked about on the internet. It
just looks really really hard. Yeah, So she goes through
this incredible life altering, life giving procedure that only women

(06:02):
can do, and that's why your sex was terrible and
she couldn't get the weight off, so she told me
she lost her sex drive because of it. Okay, it
looks really hard to me. Then you said, hit the
line that set you up for hatred. The rest of
the letter, I felt like cheating was my only option. Boy?

Speaker 5 (06:24):
But what god? Hey man Brouh listened to it?

Speaker 4 (06:31):
Did you know what I just said about how hard
it looks? You know, man, after a woman does that
and then you come back with I felt like cheating
was my only option.

Speaker 1 (06:41):
Hey boy?

Speaker 2 (06:42):
Hang on, Steve, We'll have part two of your response
coming up at twenty three minutes after the hour today
Strawberry letters subject that catfished my wife's new boyfriend.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
We'll get back into it right after this.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
All right, come on, Steve, let's recap today's Strawberry letter.
The subject I catfished my wife's new boyfriend.

Speaker 4 (07:36):
Uh, this dude right here, The whole letter starts off crazy.
Uh they've been high school sweethearts. Then he just said
out of nowhere, next line, I can't lie. Cheese it
a couple of times. Then he tried to justify it
by saying no. He tried to clarify it by saying,
those women meant nothing to me. Then he tried to
tell you why because their sex life was terrible after

(07:59):
she had our son. Then I explained to you how
difficult childbirth looks to me, and not even having the
ability to have one. It just looks really really hard,
like fellas on the real It looks really hard man.
I mean, I can't think of anything that looks harder.
I just think that a woman's body that produces another

(08:21):
human life and does it over a nine month period,
and the changes that their body goes through and then
to give life to another human being, that's bro I
just can't no. Ain'kle swollen back, hurting, carrying this weight,
rubbing the stomach, worrying about it, prenat, don't care, hoping

(08:42):
your baby's healthy, praying, oh my god, am I doing
the right stuff. There's not a moment in a woman's
day that she's pregnant that she forgets she pregnant.

Speaker 5 (08:51):
This just looks hard.

Speaker 4 (08:53):
And then Yo, dumb said, our sex life was terrible
after she had our son cause she couldn't get the
weight off. And she told me the affected her sex drive.
It would affect the rest of my life. Man, let
me tell you something. If I had a baby, y'all probably,
if y'all probably had to move me into a home
somewhere because I'm not gonna be to do nothing else.

(09:14):
I'm not gonna be able to go back to work.
I'm just telling you right now, I had a baby
some sex. You think I'm gonna let you do this
to me again. No, we not having sex never, no more.
I get it all right anyway. So then I felt
like cheating was my only option. Right after you said that,
no matter what you said, after this letter, every woman

(09:36):
listened to this hate you. Then you said, now the
tables turned. I realized how stupid it was and how infidel.

Speaker 5 (09:41):
He Hussel.

Speaker 4 (09:42):
Your wife got on weight loss medicine. She lost twenty pounds.
She's confident, she's flying again like she was when she
was twenty one, and she started hiding her phone, so
I knew what was up. And he checked her phone
and saw a message from her boyfriend and it said
I'm falling in love with you. And then you think
came to the conclusion that apparently he's married too, And

(10:05):
you kept reading and he's pressuring her to sleep with him,
and she kept telling him she ain't a cheetah. So
I did what husband's doing. Now this is where it
gets real interested. You make a lot of dumb statements,
and then here the other one you made. I did
what husband's do. I just didn't understand that any husband

(10:28):
would do. I kept her phone. She thought she lost
in the grocery store. I told out order a new one.
She had no idea. I was talking to her boyfriend
and he thought I was hurt. He agreed to come
to my house to see my wife, thinking she'd be
home alone because you cat fishing them, right. He came

(10:49):
over Saturday, and I waited for him to pull up.
Now this is where I'm really trying to see. Now,
this is what husbands do. Now I'm waiting on it.
And then you said my wife didn't react when she
saw him. I told that dude who is overweight? What
is weight got to do with it?

Speaker 2 (11:06):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (11:09):
But see if weight? See you keep focusing on Wait,
I told the dude who is overweight. Ain't that the
same problem you had with your wife a minute ago?
But see now old boy is overweight, that my wife
is off limits. And I will tell his wife and
show her the text. If he reached out to my

(11:29):
wife again, that ain't what husbands do.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
See, dog, he's wrong.

Speaker 5 (11:34):
None of this shit's saying. This is what husbands do.

Speaker 4 (11:37):
Dog, You know how much yellow tape would have been
around this driveway if you pull up to my house
to see my wife. Dog, that's what husbands do. But see,
dude had a little weight on it. You got scared, though,
didn't you. Your big boy got about that car and
you rethought all this. Now, I'm gonna tell your wife
on you if you call her again. That ain't what

(11:58):
husbands do. So br you just you out of line
on so many ways. And then I went inside and
gave my wife her phone back. She said I had
no right to do that. Then you said, was I
supposed to let her cheek? Who wrote this letter for you?

Speaker 1 (12:19):
She's not cheating?

Speaker 5 (12:20):
