1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,720
Speaker 1: Bug it up and hold on tight. We got it

2
00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 1: for you here. It is the Strawberry letter. He did

3
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: it subject old lying cheating thought. Huh, I don't know

4
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:19,120

5
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 1: What would a bunch of ahes be together? All right? Listen,

6
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 1: Dear Stephen Shirley. I am a fifty eight year young

7
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: woman and I have been involved with this man since

8
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven, and he's a lying, cheating thought.

9
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: We are not together right now, but I can't get

10
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: rid of him. When we were together, he cheated on

11
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,840
Speaker 1: me over and over, and the worst part was when

12
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 1: when I got addicted to smoking weed. We stayed together

13
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 1: and tried to work it out because I loved him.

14
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 1: I'm dating again and I am happy. Finally, he is

15
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: dating a twenty seven year old girl and he is

16
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: doing her the same way he did me. Mind you,

17
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: he is fifty five years old and has been married

18
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: three times, so I'm not sure why this little girl

19
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: is trying to date him. Just last week, he texted

20
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: me and asked me to come to his house so

21
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 1: we could have sex. He said he misses my body.

22
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 1: His little girlfriend saw the text messages and it ended

23
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: up being a big mess. He told her that he

24
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 1: hasn't seen her talk to me in months, and he

25
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: never even dated me. We were just acquaintances. It's like

26
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: he was trying to put her on a pedestal and

27
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: make her feel like she is the only one that

28
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,479
Speaker 1: really made me angry. So I want this little girl

29
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: to know that he is a real dog and she

30
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: has no idea how he cheats and lies. She is

31
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 1: too young and she has her life and future to

32
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: think about, so she needs to get away from him

33
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: as quickly as possible. I'm sure he will be trying

34
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: to get in touch with me again soon, and I

35
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: plan to send his little girlfriend every message he sends me.

36
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: Am I wrong for trying to help this little girl out?

37
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: Or am I doing too much? I don't want to

38
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: mess up my new relationship by focusing on the old one.

39
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: But I am so upset that my ex acted like

40
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 1: I was nothing to him. Surely, how should I handle

41
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 1: this cheating thought? Please help? All right, first you gotta stop,

42
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,679
Speaker 1: you gotta stop, and then you gotta stop. Okay, you

43
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: still have feelings for this man? I mean, how do

44
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 1: I know this? Because you mentioned him? In every other

45
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: sentence in the letter. Okay, you gotta let this go.

46
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: You gotta stop, and you gotta stop, and then you

47
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: gotta stop. All right, you're fifty eight, he's fifty five.

48
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 1: So what if he's dating a twenty seven year old?

49
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 1: Why is that any business of yours? Right now? When

50
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: you're in a relationship and you're happy, Why is this

51
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: bothering you at all? So what he tuchs you and

52
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,239
Speaker 1: asks you to come over and have sex with him

53
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: because he misses your body. He didn't say he missed you.

54
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: All right, you want to go over there, don't you? Well,

55
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: don't go over there. Yes, you're doing too much. You

56
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 1: still have feelings for this man, you don't. Don't. Don't

57
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: try to trick to make us think that you're concerned

58
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: about this young girl, because you're not. You're not. You're

59
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: you don't. She has her future to think about. What

60
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: do you care? What do you care? What he's doing?

61
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: Let him be. You're you're mad because you think that

62
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 1: he made you look like nothing in her eyes? What

63
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: do you care? You wouldn't care if you didn't still

64
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: have feelings for this guy. So you need to admit

65
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 1: that to yourself. Yes, you are doing too much. Get

66
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,520

110
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 1: year old fifty eight excuse me, your young woman wrote

111
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: this letter. She's been involved with this man since two

112
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 1: thousand and seven. He's fifty five years old. She calls

113
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: him a lying cheat and thought. They're not together right now,

114
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: but she can't get rid of him. When they were together,

115
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 1: he cheated on her over and over again, and the

116
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: worst part was he got her addicted to smoking weed.

117
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: They stayed together, try to work it out because she

118
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 1: loved him. Nowhere in the letter does it say he

119
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: loved her. Down a few paragraphs, it says that he

120
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: texted her to see if she could come over to

121
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 1: have sex with him because he missed her body. He

122
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: ever once said he missed her he loved her any

123
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 1: of that. Now he's dating a twenty seven year old girl,

124
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: and and she says he's doing her the same way

125
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: he did he did her. He's doing the young girl

126
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: the same way, cheating and lying on her um anyway.

127
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,600
