Speaker 1 (00:25):
Thank you nephew. Subject my husband's first aid kit here
Stephen Shirley. My husband and I have been together for
twenty five years and married for twenty two. Our youngest
daughter finally moved out, and my husband and I hit
the road and visited his parents, and then we drove
up to Michigan to see my sister and her children.
It was a great two weeks of spending quality time
(00:48):
with my husband. The only drawback was that we didn't
have a lot of sex because his back was hurting.
He had his doctor phone in medication for his back
and we picked it up as soon as we got
back into a few days after the trip, I was
still unloading stuff from the back of my husband's suv.
I mistakenly dropped a bunch of things in the driveway
(01:09):
and I heard a crash. I realized that I had
dropped a first aid kit that I gave my husband
years ago. But the things that fell out of the
first aid kit were not supposed to be in it.
There were a few condoms, I didn't stop to count them.
There was a pill bottle of performance medication that men use.
(01:30):
There was a moisture aid, and there was a small
bottle of shower gel. My whole life was shattered, just
like that first aid kit. I gathered up the stuff
and I put it next to my husband on the couch.
He tried to talk, but he got the hiccups like
he always does when he startled. I don't know what
(01:51):
to make up our marriage at this point, and my
husband hasn't even tried to explain why he's been riding
around with the sex kit. All he's asked me is
what do you want to do? Does that mean all that?
Does that mean he wants out of the marriage and
he hopes that I do too. If that's the case,
do I fight for my marriage or is it best
(02:11):
to let him go?
Speaker 2 (02:12):
What do I do.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Yes, it could mean he wants out, But I'll say
this to you. If you want your marriage, yes, by
all means fight for it. I mean, I'm really sorry
this happened to you. The problem is you can't be
the only one fighting, and you don't know how to
fight if you guys aren't talking. I mean, this isn't
something you can sweep under the rug. If there's any
(02:35):
hope of fixing this, you both have to do the work.
I mean, you have hard evidence that he's been cheating,
and most importantly, your husband has not denied it.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Hm.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
He didn't even try to lie. He didn't even try
to say he doesn't know how the sex kid got
there or anything. So yes, he's the one that doesn't
seem to want to fight for the marriage. If he
doesn't know what to say, he could do something. He
could say something. Since this is his mess. And I'm
not saying you have to stay in this marriage. I'm
(03:08):
not saying that at all. You don't have to take
him back. I'm not saying that he's because he certainly
doesn't deserve it. It sounds crazy, but it's on point.
What he's asking you, What do you want to do?
You got to take your time. You got to think
about this. Then you got to do what you want
to do, what will make you happy, and that could
very well be without him. You don't have to take
(03:31):
any of this stuff from mister sex kid in the car,
stupid Steve Well.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
One of the great gifts God has given me is
the ability to read between the lines. So now let's
read the line and let me show you what's in
there that ain't on. Now, you've been married twenty two years,
your youngest daughter finally moved out. Y'all went on a
(03:59):
road trip.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Is it in?
Speaker 3 (04:00):
His parents drove up to Michigan and see my sister
her kids. It was a great two weeks of spending
quality time with my husband. The only drawback was we
didn't have a lot of sex because his back was hurting. Now,
let's read between the lines. The reason y'all didn't have
(04:22):
a lot of sex was because he didn't have the
first aid kit.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
What he did not have the first aid kit.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
See, y'all took this trip in the suv, but this
first aid kit was outside in the suv. If he
bring the first aid kit in the hotel or whoever, wherever,
y'all was staying, then you would know the contents of
the first aid kit, and he couldn't let you see that.
(04:58):
That's why y'all didn't have Then you say, he had
this doctor phone in medication for his back and we
picked it up soon as we got in town. We'll
see why he was calling. He could have called it
in the medication on the road trip, had it transferred
up to a drug store pharmacy up there where he
(05:23):
was at, so he could get the particular things out
of the kit that was needed that was causing the
back ache.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Are you following me?
Speaker 1 (05:35):
No?
Speaker 2 (05:36):
I don't see why not.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Now, a few days after the trip, you unloading stuff
from the back of the truck and you mistakenly dropped
a few things in the driveway. You heard a crash.
I written, now that crash is metal box. That metal box,
It wasn't a bottle it broke. That crash is that
metal box that first eight kids come in it, and
that you had gave your husband years ago. But what
(06:03):
fell out of the first aid kid wasn't supposed to
be in there. That was some condoms you didn't count them.
That was a peel battle of performance medication in me
and you. That was a moisture aid. That's lubricant, and
that was a small bottle of shah jail got to
get cleaned up for I get back home. My whole
life was shut it just like that first aid kid.
(06:25):
I gathered up the stuff, put it next to my
husband on the couch. Oh hell no, and hold and
thought because this is what he should have did when
she put it on the couch.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
All right, we'll have part too of Steve's crazy response
coming up at twenty three minutes after the hour. The
subject is my husband's first aid kid. We'll get back
into it right after this. You're listening Steve Harvey Morning Show.
All right, come on, Steve, let's recap today's strawberry letter.
The subject is my husband's first the kitch.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Here's this woman that finally became empty next to us.
They take a road trip to see their mom and
they sister had a great quality time with her husband.
The only thing she said was wrong was they didn't
spend time having sex. And the only drawbacker we didn't
have a lot of set because his back was hurting. Well,
the reason when his back was hurting because he didn't
(07:22):
have his first aid kit in there. The first A
kid was out in the SUVNA, he can't go out
here and get the first aid kit because then you'll
know what it was in that little white box with
the red cross on the cover of it, that little
ten box with the.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Red cross on the front of it.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
And so then the guy back in town phone in
medication for his back. Now, what he should have did
w is on vacation with the phone in for that
medication for that male enhancement drug that he used it,
and had it transferred to a pharmacy out of town,
which they can do that for you. But he didn't
do that right there. He made you think it was
his back, but it wasn't his back. It was the
(08:00):
lack of what's in the first aid kid, not being
able to let you know that he got this stuff
in the first aid kid. Now, he been using this
stuff on you too, now, but he didn't let you
know he was using these aids that he got. So anyway,
you was unpacking the suv when y'all got home, and
you dropped some stuff, and the first aid kit you
(08:21):
gave your husband years ago crashed on the ground. The
things that fell out the kid wasn't supposed to be
there as some condoms.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
I didn't stop the count.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
And there was a peel bottle with performance medication me
and you, And then there was a small bottle of
shower jail. We have got to get a shower eding
before we go home. My whole life was shatter. It
just like that first aid kit. I gathered up the
stuff and I said it next to my husband on
the couch. Now, as soon as you set that on
(08:56):
the couch, you say he got the hiccups like he
always does when he startled. And that ain't no problem.
You say he get the hiccups when he gets startled.
You didn't say he get the hiccups when he lied.
So what he should have said when you put all
these condoms and pills and lubricants on the couch, he
should have.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Said, ah, hell no, Oh no, these mfs didn't.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Oh hell no, these black baths they done finally got me.
Oh hell no, Look where you get this from?
Speaker 2 (09:35):
She'll say, I got this out the car.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
This is the first aid kit that I gave you,
and all this stuff in it. Oh man, they said
they was gonna get me, and they got me.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Who is day? And what are you talking about?
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Man?
Speaker 2 (09:52):
My boy's been trying.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
To prank me for the longest and try to get
one in on me, and they have finally did.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Where was it? Baby?
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (10:04):
I'd have had her on the back of her heels.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
I had her on the back of the heels because
see right now, because I would have thought of that. Ah,
hell no, And I would have blamed it all on
that now. And then, you know, I didn't know what
to make of my marriage at this point, and my
husband hasn't even tried to explain why he been riding
around with a sex kit.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
I would have explained it right then when you put it.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
All on the couch next to me, because I know
what this stuff is. And then she said he didn't
make a marriage, and then go around and say all
he asked me is what you want to do? I'd
have said, it's okay, so what you want to do?
They don't prank me? I done told you what they did.
(10:54):
I can't believe it. Now, you finling? What what you
want me to do? They got me? Or it's a
good one now, Oh they got my ass. They got
my ass good? But what you want to do? That
stuff been back there for years, you know, because I
because my boy he do he got detail shop. He
do car, and I let him detail the car. And
that's when they got I bet when I took my
(11:14):
car down there to get it detail, that's when they
put it in there.
Speaker 2 (11:17):

Speaker 3 (11:19):
Boy, they're crazy, boy, crazy, crazy crazy for what you
want to do, though, what you want to do. Oh,

I'd have done that one. And then then she goes, well,
what does that mean? He wants out of the marriage
(11:40):
and hopes that I do too. See, we wouldn't even
have got to that point because Shirley said he ain't
even try to lie. That was the perfect time.
