Dear Steve and Shirley, My husband and I have been together for three years and married almost one year. When I met him, he was just getting a divorce and he was struggling with being alone. He said he was still really cool with his ex-wife, even after she cheated on him. They have a four year old daughter, so he has no choice but to talk to her to co-parent with her. He's thirty five and his ex-wife is twenty eight. He explained to me that he started dating her when she was twenty two, and when they moved in together, he had to teach her the basics like money management and how to take care of their household. I couldn't imagine how much he had to prepare her to be a mother. He made it sound like she had no home training................................................................

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 met a man, we clicked. He showed me his representative for the first few months. Now I see some things that make me wonder if I want to continue our relationship. These are things that I think he can control, but he didn't act like this in the beginning of our relationship. He has no filter in anything he says or does, and his delivery is always so shocking. I took him to meet my mom and he unleashed the madness as soon as we got in her driveway......................................................
