Every day we feature the beloved “
Strawberry Letter” franchise that is so popular on “
The Steve Harvey Morning Show” heard nationwide. Send in your letters and Shirley Strawberry will dish out the necessary advice.
Today’s topic: The clean-up woman Good day Steve, Shirley, and the Crew, I am writing this letter for help and advice. I am a 23-year-old female who is completely comfortable with my life right now. My downfall is that I have found myself becoming attracted to older men (aged 40 and over), because of the stability that they offer, that I have not found in men my age. Right now I have an older
friend that views me as a
little sister or someone that he can talk to when he is going through problems. However, over the past few months, I have found myself being sexual attracted to this older man. He is and has been in a 4-year relationship with a very established–more established than him–woman. From the talks that we have, she is constantly throwing up the fact that she has more money and assets than him. He is a good man. He is there for her in every way a man should be there for a woman, except financially. It has come to the point where he sleeps at my house to be away from her
nagging. I am stuck. Just recently he began to flirt with me and make passes at me. He’s not married to this woman, but they have been together for a long time. I want him, but I am way too young to establish the type of relationship that he has with her. What am I to do? She’s making it too easy for me to be
the clean-up woman.
