Summary

The Strawberry Letter for Monday, April 7th, 2025: My Husband And His Pretty Best Friend.

"Dear Steve & Shirley, I've known my husband since I was in high school and we have been in an on and off relationship for 31 years. Years ago, my husband made bad choices and he was sentenced to eight years in prison for selling marijuana. I stood by him the entire time he was incarcerated because I knew he was my soulmate. When he got out of prison, he kept his promise to be with me forever and we have been married for five years. He has a good job, even though he's an ex -con and he bought us a new house and he takes care of our finances. My only problem is that he works from home and has a lot of free time during the day. Since he likes to hang out with his friends while I'm at work, there is one friend in particular that I have a huge problem with. We have both known her since high school, since we were in high school, but they became closer friends over the years…"
