Speaker 1: Subject my best friend is marrying a big problem.
Speaker 3: Dear Stephen Shirley.
Speaker 1: I recently got a new job in the city where
Speaker 1: my male best friend lives. My best friend's fiance is
Speaker 1: very insecure, and she let me know the first time
Speaker 1: I met her. I went a happy hour with my
Speaker 1: best friend and his coworkers in hopes of meeting a
Speaker 1: nice guy. My best friend was sitting next to me,
Speaker 1: and his fiance had popped up and was walking toward us.
Speaker 1: She gave me a dry hello and stood behind me
Speaker 1: at the bar. When my best friend left the bar,
Speaker 1: she told me that her man is her bestie and
Speaker 1: there is no room for another woman, especially a single one.
Speaker 1: Annoying af I reminded her that a man will cheat
Speaker 1: whether the woman is single or married, and if he's
Speaker 1: single or married. I was uncomfortable, so I wanted her
Speaker 1: to be uncomfortable too. After that, I purposely laughed out loud,
Speaker 1: like everything my best friend said was the funniest thing
Speaker 1: I'd ever heard.
Speaker 3: My best friend.
Speaker 1: Whispered to me and asked me to please stop making
Speaker 1: his fiance mad. I stopped because I love and respect
Speaker 1: my friend. Since then, she's had a problem with me
Speaker 1: texting him, sending him memes on social media, and even
Speaker 1: dating one of his friends that I met at the
Speaker 1: happy hour. She told the guy to watch me because
Speaker 1: I moved there to take her man from her. There
Speaker 1: is no way I would ever be romantically involved with
Speaker 1: my best friend. Enough was enough, so I texted her
Speaker 1: to meet up so we can talk. She said her
Speaker 1: man needs to be present because because she wants it
Speaker 1: to be clear to the both of us that our
Speaker 1: friendship is basically over.
Speaker 3: I refuse to talk to her.
Speaker 1: After that, my bestie texted me and asked me to
Speaker 1: do whatever she says to keep the peace peace.
Speaker 3: Why can't he see that this is a red flag?
Speaker 1: Well, don't you worry about that because this is none
Speaker 1: of your business. It's none of your business whether he
Speaker 1: sees her craziness or not. It's good that she calls
Speaker 1: your friendship with her man over. It needs to be over.
Speaker 1: She's not having it. She doesn't like you, and she
Speaker 1: doesn't want you around her man. You don't get along
Speaker 1: with this girl. She's rude to you. Your best friend
Speaker 1: does nothing because he can't. That is his girl, after all,
Speaker 1: and she's obviously calling the shots, and it's better for
Speaker 1: everyone to just move on and keep the peace, including you.
Speaker 3: You don't need this drama in your life.
Speaker 1: Her man does whatever she says, So let this go
Speaker 1: because your bestie has let it go, and guess what,
Speaker 1: he's let you go basically, So concentrate on making it
Speaker 1: work with your new man. Your best friend is no
Speaker 1: longer your business. It is time for you to get
Speaker 1: some new business and some new friends.
Speaker 2: Steve, Well, here we go, another one of these letters.
Speaker 2: All this opposite sex best friend business. I don't know
Speaker 2: how many times I have to say it, or I
Speaker 2: don't know how many ways I have to say it.
Speaker 2: If your best friend is of the opposite sex and
Speaker 2: you are in a relationship, with someone of the opposite sex.
Speaker 2: There's going to be a problem. And every time I
Speaker 2: turn around, here come a letter with a problem. Now

Speaker 2: hear this woman his fiancees with her man, and then
Speaker 2: her man comes to her and tells her, my best
Speaker 2: friend is a woman. She accepts that she live out
Speaker 2: of town. Then one day the fiance comes to tell
Speaker 2: his woman, my bestie just took a job here in
Speaker 2: town and she live here now. And we all Finny
Speaker 2: go to Happy Heart together. What now the fiance to
Speaker 2: girls her ears is paying back? Like, what what you mean?
Speaker 2: She just coincidentally, of all the jobs in cities in America,
Speaker 2: her job sent her here. She had to apply for
Speaker 2: this job. They ain't just randomly sending people nowhere. I
Speaker 2: mean it can happen on the job, but most people
Speaker 2: apply for a transfer. All can accept or deny her transfer.
Speaker 2: She accepted. Here's she called the fiance jealous dad the
Speaker 2: happy ye her girlfriend will walk up on him, give
Speaker 2: her this dry hello. Her best friend's best friend walk
Speaker 2: up to the happy hour, she tried to speak to
Speaker 2: her and she get a dry hello. So then she
Speaker 2: stands behind her at the bar when her fiance walks away.
Speaker 2: She told me that her man is her bestie and
Speaker 2: ain't no room for another woman, especially a single one.
Speaker 2: Now here go the best friend's response to the guy,
Speaker 2: I'm annoyed. Af I reminded her that a man will
Speaker 2: cheat whether the woman is single or married, and if
Speaker 2: he's single or married. And the reason she did what
Speaker 2: was she said I was uncomfortable, so I wanted her
Speaker 2: to be uncomfortable too. Then after that, little miss MESSI,
Speaker 2: the fiance's best friend, who is a woman who then
Speaker 2: took this job in town, purposely laughed out loud, like
Speaker 2: everything my best friend said was the funny thing I've
Speaker 2: ever heard.
Speaker 3: Like how like how Steve?
Speaker 2: Like what?
Speaker 1: So?
Speaker 2: Anyway? I like potato chips, Pato chips? No, you didn't tip,

Speaker 2: and asked me please stop making his fiance man. I
Speaker 2: stopped because I love and respect my friend. Oh okay,
Speaker 2: love he popped in, and you ain't get that inadvertently
Speaker 2: it popped in. Since then, she's had a problem with
Speaker 2: me texting him, sending him memes on social media, and
Speaker 2: even dating one of his friends that I met at
Speaker 2: the happy hour. She told the guy to watch me
Speaker 2: because I moved there to take her man from her.
Speaker 2: There's no way I would ever be romantically involved with
Speaker 2: my best friend. Pumpy breaks right there. Did you what
Speaker 2: she said? She said, there is no way I would
Speaker 2: ever be romantically involved with my best friend. Yep, but
Speaker 2: he ain't said that, though you ain't never heard him
Speaker 2: say that. See lady as the best friend. You can
Speaker 2: make this statement all you want, but the guy ain't
Speaker 2: said that. You said you would never be romantically involved,
Speaker 2: and I bet you don't even know that because let
Speaker 2: it don't work out with this new guy. You the
Speaker 2: med at the happy hour and let for some reason
Speaker 2: him and the fiance break up, and you have moved
Speaker 2: into town, and he comes to you and pours his heart.
Speaker 2: I'll go. You know what, I just got to tell you,
Speaker 2: So the whole time has been you. Yeah, I've dated around,
Speaker 2: I've tried to ignore my heart, but the whole time
Speaker 2: it was you. I've never addressed it because I didn't
Speaker 2: even want to lose your friendship, because I thought having
Speaker 2: you as a friend would at least keep you close
Speaker 2: in my life. And now that you've broken up and
Speaker 2: I've broken up, I just have an admission to make.
Speaker 2: And I'm not really saying we got to act on it,
Speaker 2: but if you would just give me the chance to
Speaker 2: show you of the man that you don't even know about,
Speaker 2: and let me introduce you to him, you may find
Speaker 2: that you could feel the same way. Now. I'm gonna
