Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time y'all don't know y'all back a suit, looking back to back down, giving them like amazing things and it's not true. Good Steve to mother stunt join Jo. You gotta use that turn. You got to turn to turn them out. Turn got to turn out to turn turn the water the water yall come, come on your thing. Uh huh, I shall well, good morning everybody. You are listening to the voice, Come on dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Yeah man, got one. Hey. You know, I thought I think of my life in terms of blessings. You know, I take mostly a positive approach and a positive spin to my life. I hardly ever dweil on you know the what's well. I can't say that I don't think about the what's wrong in it because I have to, because I have to address problems as they arise. But I try not to let them consume me. I let the consumption part be about the blessings, the positive things that has occurred in my life, the good things that God has done for me, the power that He's displayed in my life, the protection he's given me over the years to being tucked under his wings. I focus on the things that he promises me. I think of all all the goodness that I perceived to come my way. I think that has a lot to do with me learning more and more about the law of attraction in terms of you know, what you think and what you put out into space, and what you pray about is what you receive. You know, and so I've become better and better at that. It's not to say that I'm I'm not human and I don't have moments where I think a little bit too long about what's going wrong and what enemy is about to attack and what they're going to do and saying and all of this his That's not to say that I'm not concerned about it, but I try to duel mostly on the positive. And one of the things that I learned, you can have an incredible life, all of us. We can have incredible lives if we just let God drive. See. The problem that I had years ago was I was the driver of my life, and I was taking myself into directions that I thought would be best for me, and I aimed at things that I thought I could accomplish, and I set goals that I saw myself being able to attain. I was driving when I gave up and I let God drive. I then opened up my mind and my spirit to what God had for me, For what God could see for me, for what God could do in my life, well, for what God wanted for me. Now he wanted for me and he wanted of me. See, that's the connection that you got to try to make. Well, not try, that's the connection that you got to make to really get it. Now, listen to me. What I don't want you to do is do like me. Don't be afraid of the what for of the what he wants you to do part see, because that ain't gonna be nearly as demanding and as offsetting as you think it's gonna be. See. I thought that if I did God's will, that if I let God tell me what to do, that it would cause me to not to be able to do a certain some things I wanted to do well, which is true. But the stuff I wanted to do was all detrimental to my well being and my future and my growth and development as a man. I was stopping my own growth as a man because see, I was doing what I thought I should do as a man. But when you give it over to God, to God has a much better plan for you than you can ever have for yourself. And God knows a better way, far better than the one you know. I want you to believe that. Man, you gotta understand that part of it. And that's the part that I finally got through my head to let God do it his way and to show me a better way, and to teach me a better way and expose to me a better way. And when I opened up my mind to what God was talking about, I began to see things totally differently, and things started coming to me totally differently. If you've been a friend of mine or a fan of mine over the years, I mean, you've had to see it, the change. You've had to see the difference. I mean, and I acknowledge that every chance I get, because I promise God I would, and I hope that I'm not falling short in that category. But then again, if I told it all day long, would he done for me? I still wouldn't have enough time to really explain thoroughly what He's done for me because it's such a continuous growth in me. But now that's not to say that I'm finished or I'm done or I'm complete, because I'm still shocked. You can't be him. You can strive for perfection. I hear people saying it all the time. I applaud you for saying you want to be perfect, but you ain't and you can't. So you quit saying it. You quit saying it to me, quit saying it to other people. I'm seeking a life of perfection, but it's something that you cannot have because he said you can't do it. But that's what he'd have for. He'd have for the moments when you stumble and you fall, and you go stumble and fall. So you got to get that part right. Man to stumbling falling part is coming. But see, you get God in your life and it helps you so that you don't stumble, fall, wallow, roll over laid their languish. That's what God is for. So when you stumbling, fall, you get back up because you're going to make mistakes, You're going to get it wrong, You're going to come under attack, You're going to be lied about, you are going to be falsely accused. That's going to happen to you the moment you make a decision to do better the moment you try to be more. The devil got to send his attackers, man, and he controls certain people. He just got people as on his side twenty four seven. You know him too. You've all met one or two of me in your life. They're just busy with the business of nothingness. They it's busy about to do about the destruction of others. You said, I know him, you know him. They coming. But here's what you got to hold fast too. They can't take away nothing from you that God gave you. They didn't make you. See, people who claim to have made you, if they're so in to make you business, why don't they make theirselves? Or if they ain't with you no more? And they're so busy in them I made you business, why don't they make somebody else? Since since you want to get credit from making somebody make yourself, if you're responsible for someone else's success, then you should easily be able to take claim and be responsible for your own success. See, be careful of that, and don't and don't don't change your course because somebody is attacking you with that. I just hope, man, that I'm giving it to God. The way I said I would give it to him, that I would unload every chance I got that I was supposed to without being you know, or here he come again. You know, I try not to be that, but man, I don't know what else to be for the first twelve minutes of my show? What else you want me to say? I got four hours? I can't give God twelve twelve minutes, man, I mean, for real, Steve, come on, man, I mean, let's look at this right here. If you're give an honor to God just twelve minutes out the day, dog, he gave you twenty four hours of luxury in life and breath and hope and promise that you ain't got twelve minutes to give him out the day. That don't make no sense. What an exchange, What a wonderful life God has given me in exchange for so small of effort that I put forth. Don't let the effort you got to put forth to God seems so dawning that you don't attempt to do it, because man, it seems like a lot. It ain't nothing to compare to what he'd be given us for real. So if you want a real life, you want a real shot at what you can be, what you can have, what you can own, what you can become who you really are. Go to God, let him fix you. Man, that's all you're listening Morning Show one two, one, two three. I've got sunshine on a cloudy day. Come on now when it's cold outside. I got the month of May. Well, I guess you say, what can make me feel this way? The answer is my girl, I've gone so much loved. Yeah, get out with it, man, really, man, if I could have been anything else, I'd have been a hardass lounge single. But I just wanted to be well paid. But I wanted to be able to be in the lounges and rewrite hits and do what I wanted to do. Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Sherley Strawberry calling for real Mississippi Monica, nephew, tummy yours truly, Ladies, gentlemen, anybody got anything on their mind? Juniors out again today? Anybody? Huh question? Yeah, I'm right here listening. If you had a time machine, yes, what time period would you travel to? What time period would I travel too? I would go right back to sixty Really, why the sixties now, not the sixties when I was sixty. Yeah, go back to the sixties now. No, I would go back to sixty, meaning I would go back to when I was sixty, because that's really been the best I've had it. I don't want the sixties. I was alive in the sixties. Let me tell y'all what was happening in the sixties. Lunch counter cities still had a segregated bathrooms and water founders. I grew up in a city with those worked West Virginia. I don't need the sixties. There was no technology that was three TV stations three to five, and eight TV went off at midnight on the weekends and stayed on to two. I don't need to see the sixties again. There was no video games of any kind. Staying inside was a punishment of the highest degree. You might as well have took me out back and flogged me then to make me stay in this house. Why would I want to stay in the house. Clearly, that's nothing in here that belongs to me. And I was made aware that on the daily basis by my father by these words here, you ain't bought a damn thing in here. Put that so I wasn't allowed to turn the TV channel. The only time I could watch TV was on Saturday mornings because they was busy and had a chance to watch cartoons. So do I want to go back to the sixties, Naves, That's when white folks was really white in the nineteen sixties. They bought that back since Donald Trump. So no, I have no desire to go back to the sixties at all. But when I was sixty, though, I was bawling. That's as far back as I need to go. I don't need them farties. I was going to hell in the forties on a roller coaster front row seat. I had too much going on, and I was going running in the chance of being very sick. So all right, last little black history mixed in that. Thank you yet coming up with thirty two minutes after the hour, we got the nephew and run that brank back right after this.

Coming up next, it is asked the CLO with our Chief Love Officer, Steve Harvey in the building, ready for your love questions? Right after this, you're listening to the same Harvey Morning Show. All right, coming up at the top of the hour. In entertainment news, Kyle Rittenhouse wants to sue Lebron James and a few others will tell you about that. Also, Tay Diggs at your Tay Digs, Well, Tay has a new love interest. Okay, we'll talk about that at the hour, but right now it is a time to ask the CLO, our chief love officer, a few questions. Here we go, chlo h Justin. Justine in North Carolina says, my husband insists on wearing protection when we are intimate because he doesn't want any more children. I told him I refuse to use birth control, so this was his solution. It doesn't seem natural for a married couple to use condoms, does it, Well, it doesn't seem natural. Good, But your husband says he don't want the more children you refuse to use birth control. He's took it upon himself to be proactive in the UH child planned parenthood category. It seems a reasonable step unless you have another solution. You know, there's other ways of a compliment. Ain't nobody fitting to do that? Or well, you know, hit him condom of a second. No, we can't. I can't run the risk. Yeah, I don't. I don't know what you're cutting. I mean, I know people are done in this very safe procedure. I'm just an old school It ain't gonna You're not cutting nothing here because you know what you say, want some of that pressure taking off. I understand. I ain't got no problem with that. She don't want to take appeal. I got that she don't have to. I'm all about that. Hey women power, who whoop me too? Whoo whoop all that. Yeah, well homie got a condom on. I don't know, because he don't want another baby, and it's it's not natural for them to do that. But it's also it's it's it's it's a dilemma when one person won what's a baby and the other person don't. Now it's the lady refusing to take birth control because she wants a child and he doesn't want a child. I think it may be deeper than this, because if she wants a child or doesn't mind, you know, allowing the nature to take his course, then that's another thing. So I have no solution for you, ma'am, none whatsoever. None forgive and take all right. Moving on to Sharon and Culver City, Sharon writes, I'm a size twenty two and I love big guys, but they aren't attractive to me. It's like short women get all of the tall men. I want to know if you can do a dating segment on your show for big girls and guys. I'd love to be a contestant. What do you think, Well, I don't have that show anymore, and we could, you know, try something on the radio sometime. You know what I mean to do it? Oh, I'm not really sure. A tall it's what the problem is, thought, sister. I just want to bring that to your attention. It's not that tall men like short women. It's just most tall men most women are shorter than them. If you're a really tall man, the woman you're gonna have is shorter than you. So I don't think it's a tall problem. I think you need. You need to be okay with your man being wide. You need to be open to just widen men. Don't worry about tall, tall and wide. Yeah, you're gonna need You're gonna need well, you're gonna need at least wide. Now, you need that. So I would just you know, don't worry about tall here here you know we have like big and tall stores. He let me ask your question, sister, have you ever gone to like Rockchesters or two Exhale and stood around the store. You know, maybe if you get up, maybe maybe if you get a part time job as a salesman in the evening, when big men get off work, they gotta go to big and Tall, they gotta go to Rochester. Might not be a bad thing for you to do. They come in there all the time because the big as has got to go somewhere to find that shirt that's got that twenty neck on it. They ask, go, see you are twenty two. There's minds with neck that's twenty two. That might be what we're looking for. Don't worry about the height, thank you. Height doesn't matter. Well, she's gonna have to now because once this man coming there with that twenty two neck, I got news for you. Ain't nothing small about his ass, Yes, caller, height is not an issue focused on something else. I said it. I ain't taking it back, Yeah, I said it. Well then let me okay, well, let me speak up for Tommy and her. So hype is not an issue. Just get you elf. It is not an elf in height, it's more inches in it. That's why I don't pronounce it the same because it ain't say that's how I feel about it, you know, now, and honor everybody on the show. You know, let me ask how this is. She opened to a short, fat man. Well she didn't. She didn't specify hype. She said, I love big guys. But then she did say, the tall men are attracted to the short women or the short, well tall men. Most women are shorter too, tall men. That's it's not that they're attracted to him. I mean most women I meet a shorter than me. I very rarely meet a woman that's taller than me. I had a girl back in the day that was my same size. Really yeah, she was tall man, all right. Moving on to Terry and Murphysboro. It was a wall in there. I knew you weren't done. Terry said, I love my son to death, but he just told me that he wants to pleasure fraternity that I don't approve of. I'm not a Greek, but when I was in college, this fraternity always stripped their clothes off at parties, and I don't approve of that. Cap who who what? Capito? Stop capits all Tommy, Tommy. I don't know if you notice it, but they're doing that a lot now. The capits take their clothes off a lot. I'm a whoop they behind if I kept him doing it, I ain't seen that, and I've seen qs taddy shirts off, and that is what this man is talking about right now. Kerry says he doesn't approve of that. Should he not give his son the money? Or should he encourage his son to just be an individual? Wait, the money, give him money, give him the pledge? Yeah? What? Or just should he just encourage his son to be an individual? I had to scrape up my own little change for that stuff you're talking about at the end. They do it at the beginning. Now, oh no, yeah we have dollar. It's a couple of thousand a bit. It's a bit of change now what yeah, yeah, you're sir in a thousand A couple of thousand, Yeah, easily. I didn't know. Wear hell, I could have played a couple of thousand. What real? That's what it is now? Uh uh Tony. My sister just went over with a KA two hundred and seventy something. People I said, ain't no win here your lawing people went over, Yes, but that's grass. I started doing the map, I said, all y'all, page two thousand. Sometimes I started doing the man. It ain't been two hundred and seventy seven queues at our chapter fifty years. All right, thank you, Silo coming up at the top of the hour. We'll have some entertainment news for you right after this. You're listening to the Stave Harvey Morning Show. Okay, So, Kyle Rittenhouse intends to sue Lebron James after he says Lebron defamed him on social media. During his murder trial last year, Rittenhouse says he's also going after President Biden and will be Goldberg, among others. Nineteen year old Rittenhouse was charged with two counts of homicide one count of attempt at homicide in addition to other charges for shooting three people and then he killed two people. Remember this was out of Black Lives Matter protest in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Now, during his trial, Rittenhouse took the stand and became very emotional. We all saw it when he started crying when he was talking about the event that led to the killings. But not everyone was buying those tears, most notably Lebron, who sent out a tweet mocking ritten houses break down to his fifty million plus followers. Lebron tweeted, what tears I didn't see one man knock it off? That boy ate some lemonheads before walking into court, and so he's gonna get sued for that. By Ritten House, you could get sued for that. That's not gonna work. And if that works, then that opens up the can for everything. First of all, this boy is supposed to be in jail. There is no other country in the world that I can think of where a seventeen year old can get an illegal weapon, drive across straight lines, driven by his mother to a protest to take police action, and murder two people and get set free. There's no nation that I know of on Earth where this could happen. Only in the Great United States of America. Yep, that's right, yes, sir, Yes, it happened. Happened, Yes, sir. This is the only country in the world where if they capture you, you can scale and climb the walls of a government facility in an attempted coup, get caught, and your ass is still available. Man, they hate. That's treason. They hanging people places for that. That's that's that's high treason. That's that's you going against the government only in the United States of gold. I thought it was just a rally that got out of hand, I know, I know. Well the reason it was that caller was because it got it incited it that said we're gonna go down there, decided that that's what he'd call it, and he made the other people in his party call it that too, because at first, so he lied, Oh that's not new Okaya. Oh no, they've been lying. Lying is the way it is. And so you know, this is the a miracle we live in. Yeah. The sad part of this whole thing is this country is not what the paperwork that he's written about says. This country is supposed to be built on the constitution, but it never lives up to the paperwork. So in Fox keeps empowering him, putting him on TV. Well, the victims need to sue him. Yeah, he's suing people. The victim families need to sue him at the president into their own one. All Right, we're moving on from this foolishness and movie news. Beyonce and Zendia are in talks to remake Douglas sirks classic nineteen fifty nine movie Imitation of Life. What Sarah Jan Sarah Jane, that's right? Yeah, Okay, I love me some Beyonce. But can I say to some movies just don't need to be redone. I'm sorry, some of them don't need I love me some Bee I do, all right? We had we had no business doing Raising in the Sun again with puff Dad. We had no business doing that softer. Okay, I love me some Oprah, but why are we doing color Purple again? Can't nobody top what y'all did already? It's impossible. So for yes, Steve, Yes, what is this movie about? Well? I was just gonna tell you for the people who don't know. Imitation of Life is a classic. It's based on the bestselling novel by Fanny Hurt. It revolves around a white woman who takes in an African American widow and her young daughter, Sarah Jane Carla, whose fair skin allows Sarah Jane to pass for white. The film was nominated for two Academy Awards. That deals with issues of race, class, and gender, and it was just very heart wrenching what happened at the end. And I mean it's just a classic story. Classic. You will cry if you're human on this movie. It's I mean tears, a punk crocodile tears. You ain't gonna have the hell You're Jackson saying that the day we can't do this in defense of these two young women of a movie I've never seen what I've learned because of the way society is today, they actually have no recollection that this is a classic. It's gonna be a brand new take for them. The kids today didn't know that Will Smith was the real prince of Ballad. The kids today are looking at this new thing like that's it. They don't know about this. They're gonna they're gonna take it as their own and think, you know, so it might do time. How old is this movie? Yes, that movie is sixty three years old. Yeah, he came out when you came out in two years after hour going you know right here, let me let me, let me, let me change my thought because because Eddie did Nutty Professor after Jerry Jerry Lewis had done it so and I had never seen that. Yeah, you can remake the class. You never saw nutty professor coming up next. You're not gonna believe oo's back? Remember Corey?

What you got for us? Nap. You know, we're gonna do something we're not supposed to do. We're gone always, don't we always? We're going to actually talk about somebody's child because dad, right there, that gets everyone's attention. That cut you deep when you start talking about somebody's kids. So this right here, y'all, your child is too fat? Your child is too fat? What I mean? But I mean, why are we running from They're awesome fat kids there, they're awesome. I've asked fat kids what they've gotten smaller? It happens your child is too fat. Cat dog. If you will hello, Hello, I'm trying to reach Kathy. Please, Hi, Kathy, This is Kirby. I'm actually the the owner at the daycare for mine's daycare. When your son comes. Okay, all right, I'm sure you're familiar with my wife Anita. All right, how are you doing today? I'm good. Oh, how's a little little divine? How's he doing? He's good. He's laying down taking a nap. Okay, you guys been coming here. I guess about a year now, right, yeah, since he was one. Okay, listen, I wanted to give you a call. I'm looking at some some informations I was I was Divine doing at home? Is he Is he eating properly at home? When you say eating, what do you mean? I mean? Is he getting U meals every time he's supposed to get them while he's at home? Yeah, he's doing pretty good. Okay, Now there's there's there's no situation where you guys may be a shortage of food or anything like that. Are you uh a short as the food? No, sir, my husband works real good. We don't have a problem with as short as the food. Is there a problem with him? Well, you know, we're looking at the records and Lordlevinus too, Yes, sir. Have you looked at the comparison of two year olds? The majority of two year olds and in comparison to I guess I should say size in comparison to the bone side. You mean like in body way body size. Yeah, I mean he's a little tall. You know, he wasn't a small chap when he's borne, he was ten pounds. But no, he's on the scale of right where he should be. He's just a little, you know, taller because his daddy is tall. But he's doing okay, So you're you don't think he's anywhere in the in the ballpark of of of of obesity at two? You mean fat? I mean I didn't want to be blunt, but but but miss Cathy, you're I mean, I mean your sons. Let me just say, on a Sunday, I'm relaxing and we're talking about you think my son is a little overweight or what he's what's the problem? Well, I mean I think it's fat, you know, and and the problem I'm gonna think I'm noticing the records of everything as wait wait, wait, wait, we need to back up to you think he's sat I've never spoken to you, mister Kirby. Is that what she said? My name is Kirby. Okay, so every morning that I dropped him off for a year and I give my daycare money. Miss Benita has never said anything about his eating habits. So you're telling me that you think my son is sat with him. You deal with him on a daily basis. I don't deal with him on a daily basis. What I'm looking at as records that are showing me that he's eating way more than the rest of anybody at the daycare, and only that he's drinking probably a gallon of milk a day, a gallon of milk. Y'all only get snacks two times a day, and he's there only for breakfast and lunch. And how in the hell is he drinking a gallon of milk? And if he is, ma'am. But all I know is this, No, No, I'm blown away by this because you're calling me on a Sunday, calling my damn child fat. That's the problem. And your wife has never said a damn thing. Never has she said one thing to me in a year when she collected my damn daycare money. She ain't said my son is eating y'all at a house at home. Okay, Well, you know, my wife's a different person and she tries to be cordial with everyone. He's the one who deals with me, mister Kirby. I've never met you never met you, especially all of a Sunday. The reason why I'm calling you on a Sunday, ma'am, is that I know tomorrow if you're gonna be trying to drop your son off, I am gonna drop him off. I am. No. No, that's that's kind of the reason why I'm calling you. Now. Here's where we knew that. Here. Either you can keep him at home. No, I'm not keeping him at home. My husband works and I work. I'm up in my damn son off at six thirty like I do every morning. Okay, man, man listening if we can't get him, if you really want to get this on the side, because obviously you ain't the one that need to be talking to me, because if you're not there every day and I deal with your wife, I'm telling you that your son is too big to be is coming every morning if that's the case, and if he's eating at a house at home, I'll send him some extra, But what I pay my money for is what you're gonna feed him for two full milk and two snacks, and if he need extra, I'll put some in his bag. But he's drinking a gallon of milk a day. Are you looking there. I don't care. There's no way possible that he can drink a gallon of milk a day. Ye. Here's here's here's the deal. I don't want you to have to stop bringing your son now, and I'm not and I'm not. Here's my second alternative. I will put him on a diet. Okay, I'll give him an apple in the day. You ain't, no, damn you ain't. Are you from the health food? From now I will. I will give him an apple and a glass of water and the morning, and I'll give him an apple and a glass of water in the evening, and then you guys can feed him when he gets home. You must be certified in the food program, especially if you're sitting up here telling me my damn son is going on a diet and he's not drinking no water and no apple. He needs a full snack. If the other kids is having an apple and water, then that's that you better be serving him. But if that ain't the case, in hell, no, he better get the full snack. So if that's graham crackers and apple juice, well damn it, that's what my son better be getting. And if he won't anstra he better get it. Listening. All I'm trying to tell you is your son drink two months. He drinks two much. Oh whoa, whoa, whoa. You need to back at the top. I know you did not cussing me. I know you ready to cut to me. Let me tell you what like you ain't got to worry about it. We don't have nothing else to talking about. My husband, me, your wife, and everybody that works at damn daycare better be there in the morning, because that's six thirty. We gonna be there, and my son he's coming all week, and he gonna eat all week. If he walked two gallons of milk, he gonna drink it. If he walked two plates of food, he gonna get it. Because I tell you what, we saved them good money to come to that daycare. So then you're gonna bring your child up there that I'm gonna have to put him on some swim fast. Now I will put your child on swim fast. I was trying not to get him to subspected, but I will ask give him some slim fast, and you're gonna get a slim fast shipping. I'm gonna whoop y'all that whoever gave it to him, whoever gave it to him, they gonna get a slim fast shipping. All the little kids gonna have some slim fast. If he getting some, he better eat whatever they eat. And if they eat't steak, well damn it, he better have some too. If we had steak, he'd probably eat the whole damn cow he eatn't care. I'll pay for it. But he been like getting up slim fast. I will shut it down about my child. Okay, I got something else you need to know about your son? What the else do I need to know? Besides you think my son is overweight? What the elf can you tell me today? I need to tell you this. I need to tell you that. This is never you. Tammy from the Steve Harvey Morning Show.

You never know, this one could be yours. You heard what she said. You never know. Fuck love and hold on tight. We got it poor you. Here it is the Strawberry letter, Thank you nephew. Subject. Is she my queen or a narcissist? Dear Stephen Shirley, I need your advice. I've been dealing with this woman for ten years. I am forty eight years old and she is forty five. When I first met her, I fell in love quickly, and I thought she loved me. She said all the right things, like she wants to spend the rest of her life with me, and buy a house with me, and so on. And we've always talked about marriage, but as time went on she changed. Now we don't discuss marriage anymore. But we did buy a house. Things went crazy after that, and I don't know if I'm living with my queen or a narcissist. She criticizes everything I do, and she blames me for everything that goes wrong in the house. She yells at me all the time, even in front of company. She doesn't like to be questioned about anything. She doesn't take accountability for her faults, and more importantly, she never gives me props on sex anymore. She tries to control everything, and I'm trying to remain respectful no matter how she treats me. I find myself always apologizing just to keep the peace. I have started packing my belonging so I can leave. I'm not married to this woman, but I loved us together and hoping and praying that we can work things out. I asked her to go to counseling and she said that wasn't a very manly thing to ask a woman. My purpose in life was to meet this woman's every need, but now I want to swing on her and that's not a comfortable place for me to be in. In a last ditch effort to please her, I got a chef and a masseuse for Valentine's Day and she said the food was salty and the girl didn't massage her deeply enough. Should I tell her I want out or should I go without saying a word. I'm so torn and it's a life changing move, so I need your advice on what to do. I mean, you've been with this woman for ten years, and for you it's getting worse. You know those bags, as you mentioned that you started packing. I say, finished packing those bags so you can leave and this is over pretty much. I mean, she doesn't want to get married. She doesn't talk about it anymore, she doesn't want to go to counseling. She yelled at you all the time. She has no accountability, you say, and she doesn't give you props on your sex anymore. So why after ten years are you still with her taking this abuse if you're so unhappy and it's not working and nothing's working. Listen, if it's the house you guys have together, you can sell that and split the money. This woman is giving you absolutely no reason to stay with her. You're not married, so that should be fairly easy to walk away if that's what you want to do. Because you're miserable so much so that you've thought about swinging on her, meaning hitting her. You know that's not cool. So right now, I think the best thing you can do is to bout gracefully before things get any worse. Ten years, you know that's enough. Furthermore, she's not even pretending she's happy with you, so just be out, be out, Steve. You know Shirley's correct. This whole thing is doomed. But I'm gonna show you something, sir. I just want you to help me, help you you forty eight forty five is she my queen or a narcissist? When I first met her, I fell in love quickly, and you thought she loved you. Now listen to this. She said all the right things, like she wants to spend the rest of her life with me, and buy house with me and so on. We've always talked about marriage, but as time went on she changed. Well, let's talk about the change. I think she did exactly what she said she was gonna do. She said she wanted to spend the rest of your life with you. Y'all been together ten years. She ain't talking about lee even y'all talked about buying a house together. Bam, y'all did it. So she's still there and she bought the house. We've always talked about marriage, but it's time went on, she changed. Well, seemed to me, lucky for you, according to this letter, she changed. Now I'm going to be thinking, man, this is your blessing dog. After I got to read this letter. Now we don't talk about marriage anymore. But we did buy a house. That's what y'all said. Joa was on the things went crazy after that, and and now I don't know if I'm living with my queen or narcissist. She criticizes everything I do, and she blames me for everything to go wrong in the house. You can't write me for the make me stay in response because first one to get out ten years time. Go, let's get up? Did you whistle? Yep? That's my range, that's cut off for me. Not and don't need to do it this double digit let's go get out all so we go. She yells at me all the time, even in front of company. See, I'm, I'm, I can't take that. I can't do that. Dog. She doesn't like to be questioned about anything, and she doesn't have accountability for her faults. And more importantly, she never gives me props on sex anymore. Now I didn't understand that line. You mean she don't give you props? Well, maybe it ain't good no more. And it might not be good because you don't like who you having to do it too. The reason she don't give you props to the more because the feeling ain't to say, because you probably don't feel the same about it. Dog, she bossing your round? How to let your cussin at you in front of people? Hold on, hold on what you want tonight to be about she wants to swing on her too. All right, I want to knock you out now. I'll give it to you, but you ain't gonna like it. All right, listen, we'll be back with part two of Steve's response to twenty three minutes after the hour, today's Strawberry Letters subject is she my queen or a narcissist? We'll get back into it right after this. You're listening Harvey Morning Show. All right, come on, Steve, let's recap today's Strawberry Letters subject? Is she my queen or a narcissist? Well, this letter right here, like Shirley said, this marriage is doomed. That's not even a marriage though, this relationship is doomed. She's forty eight, she's forty five metris woman. They talked about spending the rest of their life together, buying a house together, and marriage. Well, they've spending their life together. It's been ten years. They bought the house together. But she's changed. She's not talking about the marriage anymore. And it seems to be a blessing for you, sir. Okay thinks she criticizes everything you do. She blames you for everything that goes wrong in the house. She yells in me every time, all the time, even in front of company. I'm not fit to take that, and no woman should either. She doesn't like to be questioned about anything, and she don't take accountability for her faults. And more importantly, she never gives me props on sex anymore. I was confused about that before the break. She don't give you credit, she don't thank you, she don't give you ups, she don't praise your efforts no more. And it could because it's not the same anymore. She cutsing at you in front of everybody, talking to you like you're a little boy in front of people and stuff. You know, And you said later on in the letter you thinking about swinging on it. It's harder had good sex after that, really it really is. So I don't think you should get that anymore. She tries to control everything, and I'm trying to remain respectful no matter how she treats me. Here's a good one right here. I find myself always apologizing just to keep the peace. That ain't gonna change, dog, you might well gonna get you said that one right there. That's that's how you have a happy hands marriage. You apologize for stuff. Just to keep the peace. You apologize for stuff, just to keep the peace. Every man that's marriage, that's listening to this show knows what that line means. It comes with it. All you want is peace, So that we're right there. You can can take that off the list of stuff to complain about, because that's going on forever. I've started packing my belonging so i can leave. And I'm not married to this woman, but I loved us together and hoping and praying that we can work things out. Hold on, bro, I started packing my belonging so I can lead. I'm not married to this woman, but I loved us together and hoping and praying that we can work things out. Now, praying and packing. That's a tough combination, y'all. You pray and that y'all stay together, but you steady packing. Praying and packing ain't a good commentation. I don't really believe you praying, dog, I really don't, because you pack it. You see what I'm saying. You come on, nah, you can't. That ain't highway. Okay, let's just move on. Just wanted that when to sink into you, uh uh. And then I asked her to go to counseling, and she said that wasn't a very manly thing to ask some woman to do. So now counseling is for sissies. Yeah, I mean, dog, she just doing you every check that she gets. Joe punk Ass in here asking me to go to counseling for pull kind of little poop pup punking, little rudy poop message this you're talking about that girl, This little punk ass is gonna ask me to go to counselor Robert, get him come on through some things. His little since ass gonna come in here talking about can't we go to counsel What man want to go to councilor? Bro This is due. My purpose in life was to meet this woman's every need. But now I want to swing on her and that's not a comfortable place. Well, you know, ladies, let me help y'all other stacks. Your husband has wanted to knock your ass out, he just didn't. I just want to tell both y'all, Sharley and Corner, I want to break some news to you, Tash nest Stone. But let me tell you something I've asked God, and just give me just a moment of joy. I just want y'all to know that, Oh yeah, y'all's mouth. Y'all talk to you damn much, and then you talk because you know ain't nothing gonna happen. So now it's come with extra on it. So I just want you all to know that's a normal thought in a man's mind. I'm thinking with the fingers, yea all that because see, we gotta wait, we could shut that down now. It's sad thing is some men act on that regrettably and was not raised the right way to never put your hand on a woman. Too many people born that way. That's a coward ass way to go women. That's not the way to do it. But I told my daughters, don't put your hands on a man now because he's cass ain't raised like your daddy. My mama tous always tell me that. I understand that right there, But I do want it to say, brother, that feeling wanted to put you swing on it. That's a comment. And it happens in all of our man surely, and callers including whatever and yesterday and yeah see d and the check us out. In the last dish effort to please I got a chef at the massuits on Valentine's Day. She said the food was salted and the girl didn't massage her deeply enough. Oh now it's the massouth's fault that she couldn't dig deep enough to all. Where did get all that hatred out of her ass? So now she don't know how to dig? Man, skip paupu, Walk out, dog, pack your bags, walk out. Let her have a house. Don't ask for nothing. If she wants you to pay half of the house, note, put it on the market, sell it, split the money.

Coming up at forty nine minutes after the hour, our last break of the day and closing remarks from the one and only Steve Harvey. Right after this, you're listening to Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right, guys, it is that time for the last break of the day. It's been a good Friday. Friday. It's always good. We love our Fridays. Yeah, wishing everyone a great weekend. February is going by fast like history months. Yeah, what's happening, Yeah, it's just March Tuesday. It Happy New Year, right, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. But you got Happy New Year to me the other day and kiss me off. No good, you have a cut offline. Yeah. You know, hey, bro, happy new Year. It's about to be spring break, didn't mary bullet starting to come on trees and right in front yard? Yeah all right, let me go. Hey. You know what I was thinking. This is sort of a different type of thing. I was trying to think of some things that I hate to have to do, and I don't like using a negative to produce a positive result. Like my eating program that I'm on. I decided instead of allowing them to tell me, you can't eat this, you can't have posta, you can't have starch a certain time of the day. You can't eat sugar, you can't have cake, you can't have any cookies, you can't have coke zero, you can't have you can't drink yeah, you can't have anything with white flour in it. You can't, can't, can't. But I'm trying to stay in shape, but I'm using a negative to achieve a positive result. So I change it. And what really helped me was the way I started eating a lot better was I had my nutritionist and everybody make a list of every food or every dish I could eat, and I had them type it up and it's three four pages. You know, if you think about everything you can eat, and so then all I have to do is decide, well, I want to eat this today. That'll be my lunch today, and they gotta go buy it or make it or whatever. If I'm traveling, whatever, it's what I want to have lunch today. And it started allowing me to have positive input and to get a positive result. It's hard to lose weighting. Somebody keep telling you what you can't eat. You can't eat this, you can't eat that. So I just change it and just had to make me a full list of everything I can eat. You can't have ice cream on the weekend, and you can have it before two o'clock in the afternoon. Okay, cool, I can do that. Now I can live and the weights coming off a little slow, but you know, it's working. So I would hate to have to try to live without a relationship with God. That would be daunting for me. Man, I'm just gonna be honest with you all. And you know, people get tired of spiritual people or what they call religious people trying to jam their religion down their throw. I'm not that guy. I'm not that guy. I'm just talking to those people that's on the fence or looking for answers or might be open to trying something. That's who I am. I'm not the guy that's gonna talk an atheists out of being an atheist. You want to be an atheist? Man? That do you? We nothing had this conversation because I don't have the time, nor do I have the patience. But I would hate to try to become successful without God as a partner. That's been one of the major parts of my success is having God as a partner. I would hate to because I've done it now. I've been on this journey to become successful without him because I was just trying to do it my way, wasn't talking to him confiding in all of that. I'd hate to try to. I'd hate to try to stay healthy or get healthy without prayer. I'm what you're breaking yours whole partner, because suppose you get into situation the doctors say, I have nothing for you. You need to know him. You need to know him, and it would be even helpful if you knew him before it got to that point. I'm just talking about some things I would hate to have to do. I would hate to have to decide between the relationship with a group of people and a relationship with God. Have you ever been in that position? Like this certain group of people, you don't really talk about God, but if you want to hang out with them, we need to stop all that Bible and all that God talk. We're gonna We're gonna be cool. We're gonna do it this way right here. That tough decision to make deuces, I'm just gonna I'm gonna pass on y'all that I would hate to him. I would hate to live or date someone that didn't believe that God was real. That's all you in for a rough existence. Folks. If you meet a person and you are a believer and they tell you they're not, just walk away. What are you doing? You your two opposites. You're negative in a positive if it ain't gonna work. I would hate to live or date somebody that would that didn't think that God was real. I would hate to try to make it without him, I really would. I would just simply hate that. I can't imagine what my life would be without my relationship with God because I've been in too many holes and he was the only one that got me out. I'm just being real with you. You know my story about homelessness and divorcing, losing everything twice, being counseled and turned about and written off and said you ain't gonna be nothing, and told you'll never be on TV. I needed to climb out of some holes man, and the only person, the only thing that got me out of that hole was by the grace of God. I'm so grateful. I acknowledge that. I strongly suggest that you have a formal relationship with him. So when you get in them holes, man, you got a party. That's my clothes, remarked today. I'd hate to try without it. And if you're doing it, you don't have to have a great day. Matter of fact, have a great weekend. See your Monday. God with it for all. Steve.
