Speaker 1: Sexy Tommy. Look at that. Look at that subject. Excellent

11
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: customer service. That is the subject. All right. Dear Stephen Shirley.

12
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 1: My husband and I have been married for nine years

13
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,520
Speaker 1: and we have two daughters. I work as an area

14
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 1: of sales rep, so I travel once a month to

15
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 1: service my clients. My husband has recruited his family to

16
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: help him with our daughters when I'm out of town.

17
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: I admire his parenting, but that's about it. We have

18
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: not had sex in almost four months and he seems uninterested,

19
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: so I've stopped trying. When I am out of town.

20
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: I wonder if he's cheating on me, and recently I

21
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: got the proof right on my front porch. Let me

22
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: set up the scene for you during the pandemic. My

23
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: husband wanted to spruce up our theater room, so I

24
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 1: showed him how to do online ordering. Because he's not

25
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: as computer savvy as I am, I always order everything

26
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 1: online and he complains when boxes show up on the

27
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: front porch. I planned a trip to Disney for me

28
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: and my girls for my daughter's birthday in October, so

29
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: I was ordering a lot of stuff from online stores.

30
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: Last Tuesday, a box came with some other woman's name

31
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: on it, but it had our home address. It had

32
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: two dresses and a robe in it, but they were

33
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: sized small. I called customer service to figure out the

34
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: mix up. The customer service rep was patient while we

35
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: tried to figure out the mixup. She gave me the

36
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: last four digits of the credit cards that was used,

37
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: and lo and behold, it was my husband's American Express card.

38
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: Then the customer service rep suggested that I give the

39
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 1: box to my husband and find the lady it belongs to,

40
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: or find the lady it belongs to. I couldn't find

41
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: any info on the woman, and when I confronted my husband,

42
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: he said his card is being used illegally and he

43
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: canceled it. I still don't believe he'd buy something for

44
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:32,519
Speaker 1: another woman. What's really going on here? Well, one thing

45
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: you are wrong about is you didn't really get proof.

46
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: You said you did, but all you have is a

47
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 1: box with a woman's name on it. You don't know

48
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: who she is or where she lives. You don't have

49
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: a phone number, you don't have any social media information,

50
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,399
Speaker 1: you have nothing. Really, your husband has canceled his American

51
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: Express card, so if he was cheating and buying another

52
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: woman's stuff, he got away with it in that moment.

53
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: You should have waited until you had a little more evidence,

54
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: you know, before you confronted your husband. But I do

55
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 1: say to you continue to trust your intuition and keep

56
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: watching him because if he is being unfaithful, he'll do

57
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: something stupid again eventually. I know you don't want to

58
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: You know you don't want to hear that. You don't

59
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: want that to be the case, and I understand that,

60
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: But there has to be an explanation for him not

61
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: wanting to have sex with you. You said for four months, right,

62
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: and you said you stop trying, So that means he's

63
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: not trying at all, why wouldn't he want to have

64
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: sex with his wife? Of course you would think if

65
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: that's the case, is he doing it with someone else? Well,

66
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: there's also still the issue of the woman's name on

67
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: that package. It was either a mistake from the post

68
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: office or your husband did buy those things for her

69
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: and had them sent to your home while you were

70
00:03:54,640 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 1: out of town. That was so stupid, really stupid. But

71
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: if you can find her, I say, keep trying. That

72
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: could be the key to unlocking what's really going on here,

73
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: because your husband is not going to tell you the truth,

74
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: especially if he listens to this show. He's not gonna

75
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: tell you the truth that he's got another woman. Steve,

76
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: you know I'm telling you. You know these personal injection

77
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: do you have into these letters? It's uncalled for, especially

78
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 1: if he listened to this show. Well well, now, okay,

79
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 1: you know, let's talk about the double talking you'll be

80
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: doing on this show. Okay, hello, you will it's not

81
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: about me. You will switch your story and your theory

84
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: truth about your lives? Is that what you're saying exactly,

85
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: and here we go again. Excellent customer says, Shirley's always

86
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: trying to break up a family here. She don't ever

89
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 1: up your car too early. You needed more evidence. All

90
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 1: you had to do is wait a little more, ever

91
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 1: to keep watching him. These are the things that Shirley says.

92
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: All women that called into yourself, let me tell you

Speaker 1: that out there. I ain't say you was against me.

98
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: Don't say that. You don't even imply it. Blosted these

99
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: women up every time they call it, girl, get some

110
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: You're listening to Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right, come on, Steve,

111
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 1: let's recap today's strawberry letter. The subject is excellent customer service.

112
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 1: You know this letter? Right here is this woman. They've

113
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: been married nine years, they got two daughters, worked as

114
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: an area of sales rep, travel once a month service

115
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: her clients. My husband has recruited his family to help

116
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: him with his daughters when she's out of town, She says.

117
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: I admire his parenting, but that's about it. We have

118
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: not had sex and almost four months, and he seems

119
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: uninterested five so I've stopped trying. Okay, you didn't find

120
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: out what was wrong. You didn't just quit trying. So

121
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: now y'all sitting up, y'all ain't even looking at each other.

122
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: When I'm out of town. I wonder if he's cheating

123
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: on me. Recently I got the proof. Well, let's go

124
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: look at the proof. She got me right on my

125
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: front port. So here's what she said. During the pandemic,

126
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: my husband wanted us, who's up the theater room? Blah

127
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: blah blah bl She taught him anyway, she taught him

128
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: how to order stuff online. She ended up planning a

129
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: trip to Disney for her and her girls or daughter's

130
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: birthday in October, so she was ordering a lot of

131
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: stuff from online. Story Last Tuesday a box came with

132
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: another woman's name on it, but it had our home address.

133
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: It had two dresses and a robe in it, but

134
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: they were side small. Now what have we learned right here?

135
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: First of all, if a man was doing something wrong,

136
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: why in the world would he put the woman's name

137
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: on the box and have it shipped to his house?

138
00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: Who do that? No, that's not that's hard, no it

139
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: We're not that stupid, Shirley. And it has two dresses

140
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 1: and the roll in it, but they were a side small. Now,

141
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 1: obviously the writer of the letter is not a small right,

142
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 1: And now we have a problem. Yeah, I call customer

143
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: service to figure out the mix up. The customer service

144
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 1: rep was patient while we tried to figure out to

145
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 1: mess up. I know this, I know this customer service

146
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: is a woman. I already noticed him. She was patient

147
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: while we tried to figure out to make the mix up.

148
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: The customer service rep was patient. Oh, here we go.

149
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: She gave me the last four digits of the credit

150
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: card that was used, and lo and behold it was

151
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: my husband's American Express card. You ain't supposed to give

152
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 1: away nobodies credit card information over nobody, under no circumstances

153
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 1: are you to do that. This woman the budded up
