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
