Jay's not here. You don't have to pop the paper. I like to keep in practice. Buckle up and hold on tight.

We got it for you. Here it is the strawberry letter. Thank you, nephew. Should I cancel the party or cancel my girlfriend? Dear Steve and Shirley, I've been with my girlfriend for 10 years, and we're having our first

major issue. When I met my girlfriend, she was new in town, so I introduced her to my group of

friends and their wives. There are four couples that hang out, and we've all known each other

since college. The wives were all nice enough to my girlfriend, but they've never

included her in girls' night out or invited her to brunch with them. Whenever we're all together,

I make sure my girlfriend feels included, but now there's a problem that I need to deal with.

My girlfriend thinks that my best friend's wife flirts with me. I will admit that my best friend's wife gets a bit

out of hand when she's had too much wine, but her husband is always around and he thinks it's funny.

My girlfriend says as a woman, she sees things differently than I do. Last weekend, we all met at the

park for a friend's birthday, and we got on the subject of race and politics.

My best friend's wife sat by me, and we talked and agreed on most of the issues.

My girlfriend was giving me the evil eye the whole time, and I was very uncomfortable.

When we left, my girlfriend was furious.

So it's our turn to host the annual Fourth of July celebration at our house and my girlfriend said my best friend's wife is not invited.

But her husband can come. What the hell? How can I get my girlfriend to realize that she might be the problem?

I love her, but I am sick of constantly validating her feelings.
