Strawberry Letter. We could be reading

0:14

your letter live on the air, just like we're

0:16

going to read this one right here, right now,

0:18

and you never know, it could be

0:20

yours.

0:21

It could be yours. Buckle up and hold on tight.

0:23

I got it for you here it is Strawberry.

0:26

Let us all right, nephew, thank you.

0:28

Subject he needs to get a life and stop

0:31

ruining mine. Dear Stephen

0:33

Shirley, I'm married and my husband has

0:35

gotten clingy since our daughter went off

0:37

to college. He's clinging with me and

0:40

her. She's about three hours away, and

0:42

he went to every one of her school's football

0:44

games. And the killer part is he

0:47

went to the rival college, so it had to be

0:49

weird for him. He would check into his

0:51

hotel room and have a whole itinerary

0:53

plan for them. She was not having it

0:55

and it ended up breaking his heart. By the

0:57

third game. I had to go with him

1:00

so he would look so pitiful chasing after

1:02

her alone. Now that it's her

1:04

second semester, He's latched

1:06

onto me. I

1:08

have hobbies and things that I like to

1:11

do, and I don't want him

1:13

with me. I made candles with my

1:15

girlfriends a few weeks ago, and he went

1:17

and snuck in a little bottle of tequila

1:19

and said without it, the class would have

1:21

been boring. He wasn't even invited.

1:24

I can't watch TV alone in our bedroom

1:26

because he comes and hops in the bed asking

1:29

me questions about my reality shows

1:31

while I am trying to watch them.

1:33

I can't get a snack without.

1:35

Him asking me to make him one two and

1:38

suggesting we go sit on the back patio

1:40

and talk. I'm all talked out

1:42

and I'm romanced out with him. It's

1:45

too much sex and too much of him

1:47

right now. He played baseball in college,

1:49

so I suggested he go coach a little

1:52

league, but he said he would rather spend

1:54

time with me and our

1:56

daughter. How do I get him into golf

1:58

or another sport that takes a long long time to learn.

2:01

I'm sick of being with him all

2:03

the time. Now he's starting

2:05

to repeat gossip he hears me and my girls

2:07

talk about, because he's always

2:10

in my face. How do I encourage

2:12

my husband to get a life and stop ruining

2:14

mine. Wow, this

2:17

is different. Usually

2:19

wives are complaining about not getting

2:21

enough time, but you're mad because you

2:23

get too much attention. He's too

2:26

clingy, you say, I'm not discounting

2:28

your feelings or anything like that.

2:30

They are valid to you.

2:31

For sure, I'm sure, but there

2:33

are far worse things in life

2:35

than your husband wanting to spend time with

2:37

you. First, I gotta ask you this,

2:40

do you even like him?

2:43

Do you want to be with him? Because this sounded

2:45

a whole lot like you don't. You don't

2:48

like him and you don't want him around.

2:51

Do you care about this man at

2:54

all?

2:55

Because if you do, you need to learn how to

2:57

turn what you think is a negative

2:59

into a p You got to enjoy this attention,

3:01

appreciating, appreciated it

3:04

because he could turn

3:06

to someone who will give him the attention

3:09

and give him what he needs. You know that, and

3:11

it doesn't have to be cheating. Even what

3:13

if he does take up golf and starts playing

3:15

all day every day and you never see him.

3:19

You'll be complaining about that too.

3:22

So I think before this gets out of hand,

3:24

your resentment that is toward him, you

3:27

need to have a real talk with your husband about how

3:29

you guys should spend your time together moving

3:32

forward.

3:32

Steve, I don't think she likes him at all.

3:35

Well, this letter right here is really

3:37

kind of cut and dry. I

3:39

think what I would like to do is a

3:42

reenactment so you can see, because

3:44

what this man done is he

3:47

done got on everybody nerves.

3:50

He got on everybody

3:52

nerves in this don't knowbody

3:55

care about him. Look,

4:00

you know you can like somebody and

4:02

be sick of them because

4:04

some people it's just too much, it's extra.

4:07

Then this man right here is just latching

4:09

on to his daughter.

4:12

To you, you.

4:13

Can't go nowhere, You and that trying to watch

4:15

TV. He pop up and jump up in the

4:17

bends, Tart, I ask you a question about it. You

4:19

try to go to the candle making things with

4:22

your husband, bought a battle of tequila set

4:25

up in there. Ain't made a candle just over there

4:27

talking about it. What if y'all ain't got either in tequila

4:29

favor.

4:32

All this here? So what I need to do is We're

4:36

gonna do a.

4:37

Live enactment when we come back, and

4:39

I'm gonna use Carla and Shirley,

4:42

And what I want you ladies to do is

4:44

constantly tell me stuff that you're

4:47

gonna do as the wife just I

4:49

don't care, go closery, store, wherever you are,

4:52

and constantly, and I'm gonna show you

4:55

how he interjects himself

4:59

into all all your activities,

5:02

plans, everything, if

5:05

you include the child, I'm

5:07

going to that too, And through

5:09

this reenactment, maybe I can

5:11

show the lady what she already.

5:14

Knows is how aggravating

5:16

he could be.

5:17

And I will also provide for

5:19

you what her response should

5:22

be to him interjecting

5:24

himself. That's the best way to help

5:27

you out.

5:27

Think.

5:28

So when we come back, I'm gonna show.

5:30

You on a variety of things

5:32

that women could do on activities

5:36

him interjecting himself, and then

5:38

what your response should be

5:40

to him once he does that,

5:42

because that's the only thing right here, because

5:45

somebody gots to tell

5:47

him, because

5:49

he don't know, somebody

5:53

has to tell him.

5:56

Baby stop it.

5:58

That's as simple as that, baby

6:00

stop it.

6:01

Starting not to care about you any

6:03

money?

6:04

Dang, she doesn't. She doesn't

6:07

sound like she cares about him at all.

6:08

We don't, won't that.

6:13

Why?

6:15
