Dear Steve and Shirley, I wrote in about my husband helping out my best friend after her husband died. My mother visited us from Nigeria and she told me that I was giving my husband permission to cheat, and I didn't want to believe her. I got so offended by what she said because I trusted my husband. My mom wasn't having it, and she was so persistent that she told me to pass by my friend's house after we picked my son up from preschool. My husband's truck was on the side of my friend's house, not in her driveway, but on the side of her house a little ways up from her house. She told me to park the car and call my husband........................................................................

Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm thirty nine years old, and I'm sad to say that I've been a side chick for most of my adult life. I got used to men saying they were in a terrible marriage or they weren't married at all. So I started calling wives and girlfriends of the men that I was sleeping with. Earlier this year, I started going to church regularly, and I was celibate for three months. Then I met a really great guy named Jarvis. Jarvis is my preacher's nephew, so I figured he's a stand up guy. He said he was attracted to me because I'm always smelling good. He said he loves my love handles and the dimples in my butt. He asked me to be his girlfriend, and I got butterflies. I had to investigate him first though. I found him on Facebook and I saw pictures of his skinny girlfriend all over his page..............................

Dear Steve and Shirley, I was married for 4 years and at first, my marriage was great and my wife was sexy, classy and ratchet so we had a lot of fun together.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I need your advice on how to move past being hurt by my husband. My husband cheated on me several years ago and although I love him deeply, I haven’t been able to move past the cheating. The most hurtful part is that he waited till after our 20th wedding anniversary to start having an affair and it lasted a very long time. I was not blind to the fact that he could’ve been cheating, but I always thought he wasn’t the type to do that.................
