Speaker 1: for the Strawberry Letter with my good friend, Shirley Strawberry.

8
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: Thank you, Junior, my good friend. Subject. What's more does

9
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: he want from me? Dear Stephen, Shirley. I've been with

10
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: my fiance for three years and we've been engaged for

11
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: almost a year. We've had sex almost every night since

12
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 1: we met. Since he proposed, He's been wearing me out physically.

13
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: He has raised the bar so high in the bedroom

14
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: that I can't keep up. He's doing all kinds of

15
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: positions and tricks on me nightly, and I'm exhausted. He

16
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: knows I worked two jobs and we have a small

17
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: child to take care of. I am trying to help

18
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 1: him pay for our dream wedding and then we could

19
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: be as nasty as he wants to be. And I've

20
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: told him that he has read about Karmasutra and the

21
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: art of sensual touch, and he calls himself a sexpert,

22
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 1: which is a sex expert. The final straw was on

23
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: the other night when I was asleep and he started

24
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: rubbing hot oil all over my back and it burned

25
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 1: like hell. I was startled and I swung my arm around,

26
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: hitting him in the eye by mistake. He went and

27
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 1: slept on the couch. The next morning, I try to

28
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 1: fix things by cuddling with him on the couch and

29
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: that ended up in us having sex on the couch

30
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: and then in the kitchen and finally in our bed.

31
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: He literally walked me all around our house while we

32
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: had sex. And this has got to stop. It has

33
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: gotten to the point where I am faking it so

34
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: he'll stop. And that's how I want my man. That's

35
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: not how I want my marriage to be. Then he

36
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: told his daddy of all people, that I can't keep

37
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: up with him anymore in the bedroom, and his daddy

38
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: called me to say, if I can't please my man,

39
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 1: then someone else will. I'm not supposed to do that.

40
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: I'm not supposed to. Oh, I'm not opposed to. Yeah,

41
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: thank you, Steve. I'm not opposed to that at this

42
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: point because I'm tired of having sex. We are both

43
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: in our late twenties, so maybe he's still immature and

44
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 1: I'm just seeing it. Should I rethink my wedding plans

45
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 1: if he doesn't stop acting out like this? The question

46
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: is to me, how have you spent a whole three

47
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 1: years with this guy? Not because of the sex, because

48
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: that's what twenty somethings do, but he sounds like, you know,

49
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: a very selfish daddy's boy. To me, you said, you

50
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: have a baby, and you're working two jobs to help

51
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: him pay for the wedding. Where's the love, Where's the appreciation?

52
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: And where's a consideration from him that you might be

53
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: tired some of these days? Okay, you're not a machine.

54
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: You have every right to be tired and worn out.

55
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: And the hot burning oil that could have, you know,

56
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: berntue or something pretty badly. You haven't mentioned anything about

57
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: him having a job or anything like that. What does

58
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: he do besides have sex with you every single night

59
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: for three years? And then what is he calling his

60
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 1: dad to tell on you for that? Right there? And

61
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: Pops has no right to tell you to call you

62
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: and tell you that someone else can please his son

63
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: as you can't. If you can't, that's not his business, Daddy,

64
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: that's not your business. Well, you say you don't want

65
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: your marriage to be like this, but it will because

66
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: this is who your fiance is. Get used to this.

67
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: You've been doing this for three years. What makes you

68
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: think he's going to change when you get married. It's

69
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: only fun if both of you enjoy it. And you're

70
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: not enjoying it, you're no longer enjoying it. You're true tired.

71
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: You have every right to question your future with him,

72
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: because he does care about what you want. He just

73
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: wants his needs fulfilled. The first thing I would do

74
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: is quit my second job. Then maybe you know you

75
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: won't be so tired, and you know, then you guys

76
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: can do it as often as you want or as

77
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: he wont, steve. This is not my solution for her

78
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: to quit her second job. Yeah, so she won't be

79
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: as tired. What let me just start at the bottom

80
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: of the letder. We're both in our late twenties, okay, said,

81
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: so that means everybody's pretty highly active. I mean late twenties.

82
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 1: Who it could be on and cracking. Oh, but y'all

83
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 1: been together three years and y'all been engaged for about

84
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: a year, and y'all haven't had sex. Almost every night

85
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: since we met, that's three years, almost every night now

86
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 1: since he proposed, he'd been wearing you out physical this

87
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: a year. He'd raise the boss so high in the

88
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: bedroom that you can't keep up. He doing all kinds

89
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: of positions and tricks, and I'm exhausted, and he knows

90
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: I got to work two jobs, and I have a

91
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: small child, and we have a small child to take

92
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 1: care of. I'm trying to help him pay for our

93
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 1: dream wedding and then he can be as nasty as

94
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: he wants to. And I've told him that. Okay, now

95
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: let me tell you what all he heard was, you

96
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: can be as nasty as you want to. That's all

97
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: he heard. See, you're dealing with the man with selective hearing,

98
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: selective caring. It's all about him. So when you said,

99
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: you know, I've told him. You know that after we

100
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 1: pay for our dream wedding and then he can be

101
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: as nasty as he wants to. That's all he heard. Now.

102
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: The other problem you got is he'd read this book

103
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: about Calmon Calma Suchra and the art of Sensual touch

104
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: now he a damn sexpert. Well, he didn't read the book, Shirley,

00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: Is the subject? Well this letter, let me get to it.

117
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: Been dating this board three years. They've been engaged one

118
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: they've had sex almost every night, and ever since they

119
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: got engaged a year ago, he'd been wearing how she

120
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: tied she working two jobs because she's trying to pay

121
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: for the dream wed and help him pay for the

122
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: dream wed. But they got a small child. Now, she

123
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: told him, after we get the dream wed, and you

124
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: could be as nasty as you want to. That's all

125
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: he heard. Be as nasty as you want to. So

126
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: now now he didn't read this book about Karma Sutra

127
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: and he'd ordered a sensual touch. Now he didn't. Somebody

128
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: had told him in his damn book that heat up

129
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: some all. Now he didn't, got a hot plate, plug,

130
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: get up in the bathroom, got a sauce, paying out

131
00:07:55,680 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: the kitchen, and had no tension. He didn't. He did

132
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: this damn all up to this damn lava. He didn't.

133
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: Actually he didn't actually turn this into a McDonald's apple pie. Bed. Yeah,

134
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: you're in the bed, you sleep. He started rubbing this

135
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: hot ass pie on over your back and it burned

136
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: like hell. You swung your arm around, you hit him

137
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: in the eye. So now he man, He goes sleep

138
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: on the couch. So the next morning you try to

139
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: fix things up, you go down, You cut it with

140
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 1: him on the couch. Well that he ended up. Y'all

141
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: had sex on the couch, then in the kitchen, finally

142
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,319
Speaker 1: in the bed room. He walked your hands all around

143
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: the house while we had sex. And this has got

144
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 1: to stop. Then she sends it got to the point

145
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: where I'm faking it, So he'll stop, and that's how,

146
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 1: not how I want my marriage to be. Then he

147
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 1: told his daddy, of all people, I can't keep up

148
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: with him any more in the bed room, and his

149
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 1: daddy called me to say I can't please my man

150
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: as somebody else will. To hear the dangerous part. I'm

151
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: not opposed to that at this point because I'm tired

152
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: of having sex. Damn. OK, Look look, little girl. It

153
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 1: can't get like this now. They both of the late twenties,

154
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: so maybe he's still immature and I'm just seeing it. Yeah, Yeah,

155
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 1: should I rethink my wedding plans he doesn't stop acting

156
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: out like this, you have to do you have to

157
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 1: and you have to tell him this is too much.

158
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: His daddy called you and told if you can't please

159
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: your man, then somebody else will. And you tied his

160
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: hell of pleasing him to the point where you're faking it.

161
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,959
Speaker 1: It's too much for you. Now. It's this marriage based

162
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: on love? Or was this marriage based on the act

163
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: of sex? Because right now I haven't heard you say

164
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: I love him. He's the sweetest woman's kindest man. I

165
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: haven't heard any of this. He's a tremendous father and

166
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 1: you're working two jobs to help him pay for the

167
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: drive play. So I think you need to rethink these

168
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 1: waiting plans and slowed us down a little bit and

169
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: get some type of little agreement worked out, because he

170
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,199
Speaker 1: just having his way. But the dangerous part is if

171
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:30,839
Speaker 1: you don't do it his way. He seemed like his

172
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,599
Speaker 1: dad and already throw and he got to go some

173
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: reps to get it. And he's been saying in the

174
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: letter that you don't really even oppose to that. Well,

175
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: that's a dangerous thing to say, because why would you

176
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: get married to a man that you know it's gonna

177
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: be outside your marriage doing what he want to do.

178
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: She's tired, she's not thinking clearly. See she's two tired. Yes,

179
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: she's working two jobs and they have a small child. Well,

180
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: quitting your job is not the answer to this, because

181
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: you see, because if you quit one of your jobs,

182
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: so you're not as tired, and you're gonna be at

183
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: the house more for him to have some most sex.

184
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: The problem is he wanted when he wanted, how he wanted,

185
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: and whenever he wants. That's your problem. It has nothing

186
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: to do with you. You should have a say so

187
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: in that and that's period. That's what it is. And

188
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: so if you don't have a say so, and if

189
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 1: you get married going into it with this after you

190
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 1: told him, after y'all have the dream where you can

191
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: be as nasty as you want to be, you don't

192
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 1: think he's gonna pull that back up, right he getting married. See,

193
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: it even picked up after he got after he got engaged,

194
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 1: it picked up. There are a lot of people that

195
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: thank you property. There are some men who think women

196
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: are their property. They don't get it. Now. If this

197
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: is what y'all want to do, then that's fine. But

198
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: if it's just what he want to do, then Houston,

199
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: we have a problem. Yes we did. But see if

200
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: you remember this letter we had not too long ago,

201
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 1: it was about this man who didn't work and he

202
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: was all about sex. And you said, remember that letter,

203
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: and you said, he has time to think about those

204
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: things because he's not working. And that's kind of what

205
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: this is reminding me of because she never mentioned if

206
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: he was working. She only mentioned that she was not,

207
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: even that he's helping her out with the kids. So

208
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: maybe that's why he has time to read Comma Sutra

209
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: and all of that, because he doesn't have a job. Well,

210
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: this letter, he doesn't have anything about love. And he's

211
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: a great guy and he's a wonderful provider. It's none

212
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: of this. It's about one thing and one thing only,

213
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,559
Speaker 1: and I'm starting to be concerned. And that's what the

214
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: relationship is based on. That's all you have is great

215
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: sex and it's just great sings for him because it's

216
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: too too much of anything ain't good for you. Drank

217
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: too much day and water, right, but three years of

218
00:12:55,080 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: that all right? Listen Post your comments on Today's Strawberry
