Speaker 1: all right, Subject a little pooh ran off my boo.

14
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: Dear Stephen Shirley. I'm a thirty three year old single

15
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: female and I was dating a thirty five year old

16
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: man that ghosted me. We met and it was like

17
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: no one else existed in our lives. We went on

18
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: a trip two weeks after we started dating, and he

19
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: spoiled me and I spoiled him. He was at my

20
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: house or I was at his house every night. He

21
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: was the best lover and that deepened our connection. This

22
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,199
Speaker 1: went on for four months and I was thinking he's

23
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: the one. Then I got food poisoning and had to

24
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: be hospitalized for two days. I had been going to

25
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: the bathroom and throwing up before I drove myself to

26
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: the hospital. My man rushed to the hospital to see me,

27
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 1: and he told me he'd go to my house to

28
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: get a few toiletrees and get a change of clothes

29
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: for me. He came back to the hospital with a

30
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: small bag for me, and then he ghosted me. I

31
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: called and called and started worrying that something something happened

32
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: to him. I saw that he posted a picture on

33
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: Instagram and that was odd to me. Then he blocked

34
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: my number, and he blocked me on IG. So I

35
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: wanted some answers. I went by his job and waited

36
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: for him to come out for lunch. He walked past

37
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: me and said he's glad I was better, and he

38
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: dismissed me just like that. I had met one of

39
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: his co workers before, so I messaged him on IG

40
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: to see if he knew what was up with my boyfriend.

41
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 1: He responded right away and said that my boyfriend couldn't

42
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: handle how messy my house was, and the way I

43
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: left the bathroom was not ladylike at all. I told

44
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 1: his coworker that I was very sick and I did

45
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: not think about cleaning up the toilet before I went

46
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: to the hospital. He said, A nasty woman is a

47
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,519
Speaker 1: turn off. How can my boyfriend be so shallow? Is

48
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: that a sign that he is not the man for me?

49
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: Or should I keep trying to reconnect with him? No,

50
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 1: don't try to keep connecting with him. Don't try to

51
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: reconnect with him. It's over at this point. It's over.

52
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: He came and saw some thing he didn't need to see,

53
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 1: and that's it. It's done. I mean, you know the question,

54
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 1: is your house normally a mess? And I'm gonna say no,

55
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: because you already said in the letter you guys spent

56
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 1: time over each other's house every night, so obviously it

57
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: was clean. Then I mean, if he doesn't understand that

58
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 1: you were very sick and you did the best you

59
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: could do before driving yourself to the hospital, then he No,

60
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: he's not the one for you. I don't know what

61
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: kind of condition you left the house end. It sounds

62
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: like you didn't flush and it was just a mess

63
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: in there. But whatever you left in there, it was

64
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: too much for his week's stomach to handle. So you

65
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: got to leave him alone. Please leave him alone, I

66
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: mean his coworkers. His coworker was right. Men don't like

67
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: nasty women, just like women don't like nasty men. And

68
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: the point is you're not a nasty woman, or he

69
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: wouldn't have been with you for four whole months. The

70
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,839
Speaker 1: problem is he can't unsee that bathroom, whatever was going

71
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: on in there. He cannot unsee that you were very,

72
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: very sick. And I don't know what he doesn't get

73
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: about that. Food poisoning is serious business. You can't even

74
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: control what's going on with your body and what's coming

75
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: in and going out. You know, you can't control that.

76
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 1: Your case sounds like it was very sincere, very severe.

77
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: It landed you in the hospital. So all I gotta say,

78
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,239
Speaker 1: if he doesn't understand that, let him go. He is shallow,

79
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: and it sounds like he's moved on anyway, So whatever

80
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: with him by Steve Wow that bathroom, though, I want

81
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 1: to share something with his young lady in this letter,

82
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,359
Speaker 1: just thirty three year old as dating is thirty five

83
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: year old. First of all, he's looking for something. He's

84
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: at that age where he trying to work through it

85
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: and he's looking at something. When y'all met, you always inseparable.

86
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: It's like the only two existed in this world. We

87
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: went on trips two weeks after you started dating. He

88
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: spoiled me, and y'all spoiled him. He was at my

89
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 1: house or I was at his house every night. He

90
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 1: was the best lover, and that deepened our connection. This

91
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: went on for foremost, and I was thinking, he's the one.

92
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: Here we go, here we go, keyword. I was thinking,

93
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: he's the one. He did not tell you you other one.

94
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: Ain't nobody in his letters saying we fell deeply in love.

95
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: Ain't nobody talking about a commitment. I will tell you

96
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: for in fact, it wasn't that deep for him yet,

97
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 1: because he was still trying to assess everything. I know,

98
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: you all over each other's house every night. But the

99
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: thing of it is you knew when he was coming,

100
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 1: and he knew when he was coming, so you had

101
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 1: time to make your place presentable, as did he. But

102
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: then in it came along. Everything was going good and

103
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: you got food poisoning and had to be hospitalized for

104
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 1: two days. That's a severe cake. Yeah. I'd been going

105
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 1: to the bathroom and throwing up before I drove myself

106
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: to the hospital. My man rushed to the hospital to

107
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: see me and told me he'd go to my house

108
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: pick up a few taller trees and change of clothes

109
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: for me. When he came back to the hospital with

110
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 1: a small bag, he ghosted me, hold on right there back, Yeah,

111
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: what the hell in that bathroom? I knew it all right.

112
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: Coming up in twenty three minutes after the hour, we'll

113
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: have part two of Steve's response to today's Strawberry letter.

114
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: The subject a little pooh right off my boo. You're

115
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: listening to all right, Come on, Steve, Let's recap today's

116
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 1: Strawberry letter. The subject is a little poo ran off

117
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 1: my boo. Yeah, we don't have all the cast members

118
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,679
Speaker 1: here to hit this thing that I've decided to share

119
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: with you. Thirty three year old woman dating this thirty

120
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: five year old man that goes to me. They met,

121
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: there was nobody else existed in their lives that went

122
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: on trip. Two weeks later they dated. They was either

123
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: one house or the other house. Every time. He was

124
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: the best lover that deep in the connection. This went

125
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: on for four months. She said, I was thinking he's

126
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: the one, ladies. A lot of times, I was thinking

127
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: he's the one, and it's nothing wrong with you thinking that.

128
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: But he didn't share that with you. I don't think

129
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: it was that deep for him yet. I think he

130
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: was still in the decision making process. Then I got

131
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: food poison and had to go to the hospital for

132
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 1: two days. That's some strong food poisoning that girl, you

133
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: was going through it. I've been going to the bathroom

134
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: and throwing up before I rolled myself to the hospital. Brave,

135
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: just to go ahead, girl. My man rushed to the

136
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: hospital to see me and told me he'd go to

137
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: my house and get a few taller trees and change

138
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: your clothes from me. He came back to the hospital

139
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: with a small bag and then he goested. I called

140
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: and called and called, and I started wearing that something

141
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: had happened. And then I saw that he posted a

142
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: pitch on Instagram and it was kind of odd to me,

143
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: and then he blocked me on IG So I wanted

144
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: some answers. So she decided to go to his job

145
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 1: and wait for him to come out for lunch, he

146
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: walked right past me. He said, I'm glad I was better,

147
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 1: and he dismissed me just like that. I had met

148
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 1: one of the co workers, so I messaged him on

149
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 1: I g to see if he knew what was up

150
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 1: with my boy We're in the social media world, you

151
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:59,559
Speaker 1: can do that. He responded right away, and he said

152
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: that my boyfriend could not handle how messy my house

153
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: was and the way I left the bathroom was not

154
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: ladylike at all. I told his co worker that I

155

Speaker 1: A nasty woman is a turn off. How can my

158
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: boyfriend be so shallow? Is this a sign that he's

159
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: not the man for me? Or should I keep trying

160
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 1: to reconnect with him? Well, I don't know if he's
