Speaker 1: all right. Subject her husband messed up our love triangle.

28
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 1: Dear Stephen Shirley, I am a single black female in

29
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,119
Speaker 1: one of the craziest love triangles ever, and I need

30
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 1: your advice. A year ago, my kids and I moved

31
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: to a new house and I became good friends with

32
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: a married couple across the street. I got really close

33
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: to the female and she and I actually started dating. Okay,

34
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: her husband found out and asked to be included in

35
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: our sexual so we let him join in often. She

36
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: eventually talked her husband into letting me move into their

37
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: house so we could all be together. When my lease

38
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: was up, I moved in. She promised me that she

39
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: would not let him come between us. She and I

40
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,959
Speaker 1: went on dates and did everything together while he worked

41
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: and played video games in his spare time. All of

42
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: our kids loved living together and they are close friends. Now.

43
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, everything was going great until we found

44
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 1: out that her husband was cheating with a woman he

45
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: works with. The wife told him to move out and

46
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: she wanted a divorce. He wouldn't leave, so I moved

47
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: out because there was constant arguing in the house and

48
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 1: it was getting on my nerves. My girlfriend still lives

49
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: with her lying, cheating husband, but she says she wants me.

50
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: My kids missed their kids, and I miss seeing her

51
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: every day. I think she's playing me for a fool

52
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: and stringing me along while she works out things with

53
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: her husband. I can only see her when it's convenient

54
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: for her, and she doesn't call and text me like

55
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 1: she used to. Her husband is childish and messy, and

56
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 1: I don't know why she can't see it. We had

57
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 1: a good thing going until he cheated on her. I

58
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: have guys that want to date me, but I tell

59
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: them I'm in a relationship. What should I do wait

60
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: for her to leave him or get back on the

61
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: dating scene. Please advise? Okay, I agree with you. This

62
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: is one of the craziest love triangles ever, I think

63
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: that we've ever had on the Strawberry Letter as far

64
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: as love triangles go. But the nerve of you to

65
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: be mad and indignant about her husband cheating, I mean,

66
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: you started it. You started an affair with his wife. Hello,

67
00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: So how is he wrong for cheating? And you still

68
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: want to be with his wife? You still want to

69
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: be there. So you guys are still cheating too. Uh.

70
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: It amazes me that you don't get that part of it.

71
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: So I say to you stop. You got to leave

72
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: this married couple alone. You got to stay out of it.

73
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: You see, she's acting funny right now, so there's a problem.

74
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: So you got to stay out of their relationship. You said,

75
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: you have guys that want to date you, So why

76
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: don't you date some of them? I mean, if they

77
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: want to date you, you're asking what should you do?

78
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,359
Speaker 1: What should you do? You tell the guys you're in

79
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: a relationship. You're not in a relationship. Okay, they're in

80
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 1: a relationship. You're like the side piece of you know,
