0:25

Letter subject. I

0:27

have become friendly with his wife.

0:29

Dear Stephen Shirley. I'm a twenty

0:31

seven year old single female and I

0:33

just moved to my own place and started

0:35

a new job. I like my job, and I

0:38

have a few associates that I hang out with

0:40

after work. There's one guy that

0:42

I am the closest with. He's forty

0:44

seven and married but unhappy at

0:46

home. We created a bond and

0:49

we could tell each other anything without

0:51

judgment. The first time we made love,

0:54

he made me feel like a princess. Right

0:57

after we started seeing each other,

0:59

I'm his wife. At the office, she

1:01

asked me where I got my hair braided, and I

1:04

told her that my cousin did it. I arranged

1:06

for my cousin to braid her hair at my place.

1:09

The wife came over on a Friday evening

1:11

with a bottle of wine and we sat

1:13

and talked for five hours while she

1:15

got her hair braided. It felt

1:17

awkward at first, but she's

1:20

really cool and easy to talk to. She's

1:22

thirty three and said sometimes she regrets

1:25

marrying an older man. We were vibing

1:28

and enjoying the wine, all while

1:30

some of her husband's clothes, shoes,

1:32

and toiletrees were at my house.

1:35

She didn't suspect a thing. Her

1:37

husband texted me a few times to make sure

1:39

everything was going okay while she

1:41

was at my place. The following

1:43

week, she invited my cousin and I

1:45

to meet her out for a drink. She was

1:48

flirting with men, and she left us

1:50

early to meet up with a male friend.

1:52

I texted her hubby my

1:54

boyfriend, to tell him she might

1:56

be cheating on him. He told me that

1:59

he doesn't want us hanging out anymore.

2:01

I've been aborting her since then, but she

2:03

won't stop calling and texting me. I

2:06

think that she and I are friendly enough for me to

2:08

tell her the truth about what's going on.

2:11

I would want to know if I was married, should

2:13

I be honest with her or not. Okay,

2:16

really, come on, you're

2:19

kidding me right now? Right? I

2:22

mean, I gotta ask you. All of a sudden,

2:24

you get morals and a conscious you

2:27

know you want to be open and

2:29

honest, because you certainly didn't

2:31

have them when you decided to sleep with her

2:33

husband slash coworker.

2:36

You're a coworker. You fell for the

2:38

tired, cheating husband, lion

2:40

or I'm not happy at home. You fell

2:43

for that, And now, after

2:45

deceitfully befriending his wife,

2:48

you want to tell her that you

2:51

and her man are having sex. Okay,

2:53

how is this sounding to you? Because,

2:55

as you say, you and wife are

2:57

friendly enough? Now you know you

3:00

had a bottle of wine with her. Uh No,

3:02

and just because you drank a bottle of wine with her

3:04

doesn't mean that she will. She will not whoop your

3:06

whoop your behind about her man. Okay, you

3:09

are being messy and petty.

3:12

Just beyond messy and petty, you're

3:14

you're hurtful and delusional. Right

3:16

now, no good

3:18

and what good can come of this if you run

3:21

your mouth to her. No, leave these

3:23

people alone before you destroy their family.

3:25

Okay, and we're not buying your line

3:27

about you would want to know if it was you, if

3:29

you were, come on, stop it. You sound

3:32

really silly, you really do. And

3:34

this is Women's History Month. I just want

3:36

to let you know that. And we're not having

3:39

that. Okay, we are not having

3:41

it, all right, Steve.

3:43

Wow, this

3:46

letter, it just took so

3:48

many sharp turns. I know,

3:51

I mean, you know, I couldn't even figure out

3:53

how we went from what to what. This

3:56

woman is twenty

3:58

seven years old, obviously

4:01

don't know nothing about life or

4:03

marriage. You got to

4:05

be kidding me. So you meet this, I

4:07

have a job, and you got some associated you

4:10

hang out with. There's one guy

4:12

that I'm closest with. Okay,

4:14

we're going along with it. He's forty seven

4:16

and married but unhappy at home.

4:19

Of course he is. Okay,

4:22

we created a bond and we could tell

4:24

each other anything without judgment. Okay,

4:27

y'all just hanging out. The first

4:29

time we made up? What

4:32

exactly when that come from?

4:34

What? Y'all

4:36

was just talking and

4:38

he was unhappy at the house, and y'all

4:41

was sharing stuff with each

4:44

other without judgment, and y'all was just

4:46

associates, and it happened the first

4:49

time we made love. What. That's

4:52

a hell of a jump, lady. You just you

4:55

don't even know how to write letters. You're

4:58

just anyway. First

5:01

time we made love, he made me feel like a princess.

5:03

Right after we started seeing each other,

5:06

I met his wife at the office. And

5:08

then she asked you about how you got your hair braidy, and your

5:11

wife came over with a bottle of wine. You got

5:13

your cousin come over with braidy And it felt awkward

5:15

at first, but she's really cool, easy

5:17

talk to god. Okay,

5:20

how much wine was just more than one

5:22

bottle? Now and

5:25

then she's thirty three and says sometimes

5:28

she regrets marrying an older man.

5:31

Oh, so, I guess that

5:33

made you feel better. Yeah. Then

5:37

we were vibing and enjoying the wine

5:39

and all the while some of her husband's

5:41

clothes, shoes, and tarlet

5:44

trees while at my house. Wait

5:46

a minute, what exactly

5:50

he got clothes, shoes,

5:53

and tarlet trees at your house?

5:58

What's happening? This

6:00

story just took some big turns in

6:03

him. She didn't suspect

6:05

the thing. Her

6:10

husband text me a few

6:12

times to make sure everything was going on. Okay

6:14

while she was at my place, Steve,

6:17

you haven't killed me. This

6:20

dude is so damn concerned.

6:24

Make sure everything Okay? What is

6:26

he saying though, Steve on

6:29

6:38

6:41

6:43

6:46

6:48

6:50

this. You're listening Steve

6:53

Harvey Morning Show. All right, come

6:55

6:57

Subject I have become friendly with

7:00

his wife. Okay, Uh,

7:03

This twenty seven year old woman and got this new

7:05

job, moved into her home place, and she made

7:08

some friends with some associates they hang out

7:10

with after working. This one guy she close

7:13

to. He forty seven, and man, we ain't

7:15

happy at the house and so and they bonded

7:18

and they started telling each other anything. Anyway.

7:21

After the first time we made love. What

7:23

That's where the letter just took us. We

7:26

was just talking passing no judgment,

7:29

but we just saw we was doing. We

7:31

used to go out to drunk. The next thing, you know,

7:34

he just we naked and

7:37

we just and he made

7:39

me feel like a princess. And then

7:41

right after we started seeing each other. So now

7:43

right away were seeing each other. This ain't no one

7:46

time we hit We eyed them

7:48

and uh, you know, she asked you

7:51

met her wife at the office, asked where you got a hebraid

7:53

your cousin didn't she invited you invited,

7:55

she said, couldn't your husband do my half? You invited

7:58

over to du the hat. She bought a bottle of wine.

8:00

She thirty three years old. She easy to talk

8:02

to, She really cool. Y'all got to talk

8:04

and she admitted that she wished she hadn't married older

8:07

man. I guess that made you feel

8:09

okay with seeing him. We were vibing

8:11

and joined the wine. All the while some of her husband's

8:13

closed shoes and tarntus was at my house.

8:16

And she didn't suspect a thing. No,

8:19

no woman would think that a

8:21

woman that's seeing her husband

8:24

would invite her to her house to get

8:26

her damn, halbraided. It

8:29

ain't like stupid, She

8:31

just that's nothing. You can't

8:34

even think that exactly.

8:37

You know, that's like a thief. Invite

8:39

me to the basement and he got all

8:42

my stolen stuff in that Yeah,

8:45

yeah, that don't make no sense,

8:47

all right now, she didn't suspect the

8:49

thing. Her husband texts me a few times to make

8:52

sure everything was going okay. I'll tell you what that would

8:54

text was about Lato. While she was

8:56

at my place the following week, she

8:58

invited your cousin not to meet out for

9:00

a drink. She was flirting with me, and

9:02

she left us early to meet up with a male friend.

9:06

I text her husband parentheses

9:09

my boyfriend to tell him

9:11

she might be cheating on him.

9:13

You got a lot of nerves. You

9:17

got a lot of damn nerve.

9:21

I mean your youth and inexperience

9:23

with life, relationships, marriage

9:26

and just how to deal go. You

9:28

got a lot of nerve to text

9:31

her husband to tell him

9:33

that your wife might be cheating

9:35

on you. That's

9:38

nerve. He told

9:40

me he don't want us hanging out no more. Then

9:44

here we go. I've been avoiding us since

9:46

then, but she won't stop calling texting

9:48

me. This was a letter. I

9:51

think she and I are friendly enough for

9:53

me to tell her the truth about what's going

9:55

on. What

9:57

a stupid

10:03

again, that she and her

10:06

are friendly enough for me to tell

10:09

her the truth about what's

10:11

going on. You thank

10:13

y'all that damn friendly

10:16

you're finding get stabbed?

10:19

Are you nuts? Have you lost

10:21

your rabbit? Ass man? What

10:24

is wrong with you? See, you're

10:26

too young to have an affair because

10:29

you don't know HI supposed

10:31

to go? Hello, affairs

10:34

are wrong. We all know that, but

10:36

you are too young to have one

10:39

because you don't even

10:41

know HI supposed to go. You

10:44

have a delusionary view

10:47

that somehow you and this woman

10:49

is so damn friendly because

10:51

y'all haven't been and had a drinking and drink wine.

10:53

She got hal braided that you find

10:56

to tell her I'm

10:58

screwing your husband

11:01

and some of his shoes, clothes

11:03

and tarletries is at my house

11:05

and they was over there when

11:07

you was over that getting your hair braided. What

11:11

man, it's inconceivable.

11:14

You can't tell this to no woman

11:17

of no race? And

11:20

this go good? Right? Then?

11:23

She says, I want to know.

11:26

I'd want to know if I was married.

11:30

Should I be honest with her or not? Wait a minute,

11:32

stop, if you would

11:34

want to know if you was married, let

11:37

me ask yourself something. You

11:40

knew she was married to this man

11:43

when you bought her over to the house,

11:45

and it was awkward at first and

11:48

then y'all got cool. So now

11:50

your stupid side, your

11:52

stupid side came up when you invited

11:54

it to the house getting hair braided. That

11:57

that's the stupidity. Then all this. But

12:00

somehow you think that

12:04

if you were married, you would want to

12:06

know, you would want to know what, Like

12:08

Shirley said, where did you get all these

12:11

morals from all of a sudden? You

12:13

didn't have now when you're screwing the man keeping

12:16

the stuff at your house, know when he got a

12:18

wife. So I don't. I don't got

12:20

no advice for you. I don't know what you're gonna

12:22

do, but I'll tell you what if

12:25

you do go over there to tell this woman,

12:28

can you record it for us and send it to her

12:32

because we want to see it. We really

12:34

want to see I really do now

12:37

real quick. The text

12:40

was that he sent to her, Hey,

12:42

anything good? Yeah,

12:46

how's it going? She

12:49

said, anything to you? What y'all

12:51

talking about? That's what dirty works

12:53

saying, like right, hey, let man, let me ask

12:55

you something. She ain't been in the bedroom in closets.

12:59

Yeah, hey, don't where my going

13:01

going in and get my toothbrush because I think I left

13:04

13:06

13:12
