I Want A Real Man, Not This Man Feb 01, 2019

Show notes

Dear Steve and Shirley, I have been married to my husband for 13 years, but we have been together for a total of 23 years. We have one son and my husband is a great provider for our family. I am, however, concerned about the example of manhood that he’s displaying for our son. My husband is non-confrontational, so we haven’t argued in years. If we have a disagreement, he will just agree with me, to avoid conflict. He’s always eager to help others and he does favors for his family members all the time, even if he is not feeling up to it. He rarely gets frustrated or raises his voice.............

Your Online Friend Is Overstepping Boundaries Jan 31, 2019

Show notes

Dear Steve and Shirley, I need some advice, although this may not be your area of expertise. I'm a 27 years and I met my partner on a nationwide Facebook group. Because of the online group, my partner and I have mutual friends across the country. One friend, in particular, is trying my patience by blatantly hitting on my partner in direct messages and leaving racy comments on my partner’s posts. Sometimes my partner’s comments can look a bit flirtatious too. I’m concerned that this friend is going to try to make a move and my partner is very naïve, so this is a big problem...............

You Have To Take The Good With The Bad Jan 30, 2019

Show notes

Dear Steve and Shirley, I need some advice on a different kind of double standard with men and women. My ex-boyfriend has a lot of flaws and I overlooked them in the beginning because I was really in to him and wanted things to work out. For example, when we met, he told me he lived downtown in a brownstone. So a few weeks later, I went over to his place. I pulled up and he escorted me in through the basement door and told me he hangs out down there most of the time. So we started kissing and making out on the couch and he had managed to take off all of my clothes and most of his, when someone knocked on the door. He threw a blanket over me and went to answer the door. It was a woman at the door............

My Husband's Supportive Secretary Jan 29, 2019

Show notes

Dear Steve and Shirley, I have been married for 14 years and we have two sons. My husband is a middle school principal and I work full time in an office. My husband and I have a great social life and we used to focus on keeping the romance alive in our marriage, but my boys are very active in sports now, so it’s hard to find time to hang out together. It has not affected my husband’s social life at all though. He still hangs out after work and I have a big issue with who he chooses to spend time with............

I Gave Her Life But She Can't Have My Man Jan 28, 2019

Show notes

Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm 46 years old and last year I married a man that's 18 years younger than I am. We met at the gym and the initial sexual attraction between us was magnetic, but I had my doubts about him, because of our age difference. It wasn’t long before we started having hot, passionate, sex and fell deep in love. He went above and beyond to let me know that this was more than just sex, it was real. I introduced him to my family and my daughter was not happy because he is only 2 years older than she is...........

My Husband Is Not Carrying Her Casket Jan 25, 2019

Show notes

Dear Steve and Shirley, here’s my ordeal. My husband and I have been married for 8 years and we have 3 beautiful children. One of my husband’s long-time ex-girlfriends died over the weekend and we were all shocked, because it was so sudden. My husband’s best friend is the deceased woman’s cousin, so he called to tell us the bad news. He said that the family was working out the funeral arrangements and had decided that they wanted my husband to be a pall bearer at her funeral, because the ex-girlfriend still loved him, up until the day she died. This was just too much for me to process..............

Neither One Of Us Can Be Trusted Jan 25, 2019

Show notes

Dear Steve and Shirley, my husband and I are in our late 30s and have been married for 15 years . We’ve had some hiccups in our marriage and we went to counseling to fix the issues. I thought we were doing really good since the counseling, but here we are, a year later, and my husband’s insecurities got the best of him. He created a fake social media account and pretended to be one of my exes that I dated before we got married. He started sending me sweet messages, posing as my ex, but I was very stern about letting him know that I’m happily married and not interested in him at all, in that way.............

So You're The Only One That Can Cheat Jan 23, 2019

Show notes

Dear Steve and Shirley, I have known my partner for 5 years and we have a child together. In the beginning, my partner cheated on me multiple times and I was very hurt, but I loved him and wanted to move forward with the relationship. Everything was fine for four years and then our relationship got stale and we started arguing a lot, so we mutually decided to take a break from each other for a little while. We talked about dating other people while we were on our break and we decided that seeing other people was not our primary focus for the breakup, the breakup was for us to work on ourselves and then come back together and be a real family..................

Ain't Nothing Holy About His Behavior Jan 22, 2019

Show notes

Dear Steve and Shirley, my family has a church that they’ve been going to all their life and I recently joined. I decided to devote my life to fellowship and service at this church. My pastor is great but I always thought he was a bit creepy because of the strange relationship he has with my cousin. I had been watching them for a while and then in a stewardship meeting, my pastor mistakenly called my cousin “babe or bae” and she blushed. Immediately after the meeting, I asked my cousin what’s up with her and pastor and she got all awkward and tried to lie at first, but then she ended up spilling the beans.............
