Speaker 1: it for you here. It is the Strawberry subject. His

19
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 1: body count is too high, Dear Stephen Shirley, I've been

20
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 1: married two years to a man that is my everything.

21
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 1: Things were great for the past two years, but now

22
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 1: the marriage may be over. I found out that I'm

23
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: married to a prostitute a week ago. A week ago,

24
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 1: my husband and I went to purchase two new tires

25
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: for my car. My husband claimed he was testing out

26
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 1: the new tires, and he sped out of the parking

27
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: lot and onto the service road. There was a policeman

28
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 1: on the lot, so he flashed his lights for my

29
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: husband to pull over. I thought my husband would get

30
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 1: a warning for speeding or a speeding ticket. The officer

31
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: ran my husband's driver's license and came back to our car.

32
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: He told my husband that he was going to let

33
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: him go and told him to be sure to complete

34
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: his community service and stay out of trouble. I just

35
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: knew this policeman had my husband confused with someone else.

36
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: But my husband hung his head and said thanks, and

37
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 1: he was sweating like crazy. I asked a million questions,

38
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: and my husband said it was time for him to

39
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: tell me a big secret. When we got home, he

40
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: fixed me a glass of wine and told me that

41
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: he was arrested for prostitution three years ago, and that

42
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: would have been right around the time we met. He

43
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 1: said he had regular clients, mostly older ladies, and he'd

44
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: been doing it since he was in college. He said

45
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: he got arrested at a hotel he usually met his

46
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: clients at. He was charged with prostitution in order to

47
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: pay a fine and do community service. He admitted that

48
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: he slept with almost thirty women and he's only twenty

49
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: nine years old. Would he have ever confessed if he

50
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 1: didn't get pulled over? What should I do? Now? Wow?

51
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: What do you want to do now? That is the question.

52
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: I mean, everyone has a pass. Everyone has a pass,

53
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: And while it may not be being arrested for prostitution,

54
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: it could be a past dealing drugs in that life,

55
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: white collar crime, jail time from misdemeanors, etc. I mean,

56
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: the list could go on and on and on. And yes,

57
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: I know it sounds crazy, the prostitution thing, and it

58
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: is for sure, But no matter how and when he

59
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: told you, you know now he had to tell you.

60
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 1: I think in this case it was more that he

61
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 1: was embarrassed to tell you than anything. I think he

62
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: was more just embarrassed. So the question becomes, has he

63
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: left that old lifestyle? Has he left it behind? And

64
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: is he a good husband to you. Now, you said

65
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: two years ago you married a man that you're everything.

66
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: So does he treat you well? Or is he still

67
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: dibbling and dabbling in his past with these older ladies

68
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: and being a prostitute and all of that. That's what

69
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: you have to think about, and that's what you should

70
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: base your decision on about to stay or leave him.

71
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: You ask the question, what should she what should you do? Now?

72
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: Those are the things you have to ask yourself. And again,

73
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: everyone has a past. Everyone has a past. I'm surprised

74
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: you don't know. Well, maybe, like I said, he was

75
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: just embarrassed to tell you that part about him. Steve, Well,

76
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: this letter right here is really nothing to get to accept.

77
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: The one thing you're saying that your husband's body count

78
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: is too high because he got pulled over by the police.

79
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: His past resurfaced. The officer ran his driver's license, came

80
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 1: back to the car, told your husband he was gonna

81
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: let him go and be sure to complete his community

82
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: service and stay out of trouble. Now, it don't say

83
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 1: what you committing community service for him? Maybe I don't know.

84
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: He could. They probably know what it was for. But

85
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: just complete your community service and stay out of trouble.

86
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 1: You thought it was a mistake, but your husband was sweating,

87
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: hung his head down. You asked a million questions, and

88
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 1: then your husband said he had a big secret for you,

89
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 1: got home, fixed your glass of wine. Told you he

90
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: was arrested from prostitution three years ago. That would have

91
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:24,359
Speaker 1: been right around the time we met. Okay, I ain't

92
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 1: no big deal. Everybody, as Shirley has so eloquently explained,

93
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 1: everybody got a pass. Now, everybody, every you got one.

94
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: It's some stuff about you. He don't know everything about you.

95
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 1: He'll know everybody you've been with. But he was doing

96
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: some prostitution. Now, if he was just out there, like

97
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 1: on sunset or something, just passing it out to anybody

98
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: and everybody, you have a problem. He was a jiggalo,

99
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: a male jiggalo. Now that that does make it a

100
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: little bit better. If that's he was just out on

101
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 1: the block doing everybody. He was a callous He was

102
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: a jiggalo. It happens. It ain't that bad if it

103
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: was in his past. He loves you, surely said that.

104
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: He treats you. Well, What is the problem it is

105
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: in his past. He's paying for it. He didn't change

106
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 1: his ways. Now, if he's still prostituted, we have a problem. Yeah.

107
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,359
Speaker 1: But if he's not, and they was mostly older ladies,

108
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: we'll see you saying only letter farty, they're still fine.

109
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:38,679
Speaker 1: You don't understand because he's twenty nine. They still find

110
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: all right, ain't helping you that, But it is me

111
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: a lot though, it's helping me a lot. We'll let fart.

112
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: Two of Steve's responds coming up with twenty three minutes

113
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: after the hour right after this. You're listening show, all right,

114
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: Come on, Steve, let's recap today's strawberry letter. The subject

115
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,239
Speaker 1: his body is too high. Well, this letter is easy

116
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: to recap because it's simple. Her husband had a secret.

117
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: She didn't know what the secret was until they were

118
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: pulled over by some police and the police said to him,

119
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you a warning. Just make sure you

120
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: complete your community service and stay out of trouble. She

121
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: thought they were talking to the wrong man. She asked

122
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: a million questions. Finally he got home, made her a

123
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: glass of wine and said, I have a secret to

124
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: tell you, sat down and told his wife. Three years

125
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: ago he was arrested for prostitution. Now that is about

126
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: the time that they met, so they've gotten married since then.

127
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: She never knew this, and now this new news to her.

128
00:07:54,480 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: It's devastating. The man was a prostitute and his clients

129
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: were older women, and he had been doing it since

130
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: he was in college. And he now twenty nine, your

131
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: husband was a jiggalo jingalo get lonely? To come on, boy,

132
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: now is this bad in his past? Everybody has a past.

133
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: Like I said before, he don't know everybody you've been with.

134
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: And don't go in there and tell him either. And

135
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 1: then you say in the letter, would he have ever

136
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:44,199
Speaker 1: confessed if he didn't get pulled over? Now? Hell no,

137
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 1: he wouldn't. We went three more yield. No. Now I

138
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 1: took this to the grave for what. So you know

139
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: he trying to do his community service. He didn't want

140
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 1: you to know, but he was man, And I have

141
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: to sit down and tell you. Want its surfaced me.

142
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: I still wouldn't have told you number you wouldn't have

143
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: no community service. I gotta call somebody. I don't know

144
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: what they're talking about, some damn community. Yeah, because I'm

145
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: not going around and picking up no trash with no

146
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:19,959
Speaker 1: stick with the nail on the end of it. I'm

147
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: not doing it. Yeah I have still, but no, he

148
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 1: didn't tell me complete your community service or out of

149
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 1: came up with something else. But he told you the truth.

150
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 1: Now he gotta get credits for that. Now here's your

151
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: other problem. You said he admitted that he slept with

152
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 1: almost thirty women and he's only twenty nine years old.

153
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: Lady listening, listen, it is more ladies. But listen to me.

154
00:09:53,720 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: Don't let that number throw you off. Causes thirty dirty
