ICYMI: My 17 Year Old Daughter Is Dating A 35 Year Old Man | Steve Harvey in the Morning on WDAS

35-year old man dating a 17-year old, this is wrong on all levels. First, what could a 17-year old girl have in common with a grown man? They're in different life stages. She's still in school, he's out of school. She hasn't gotten started in her professional life and he's already working. Let me guess, she "loves" him.  She's into older guys because boys her age are too immature; they don't know how to be serious. Forget the semantics, the mother needs to do whatever it takes to sabotage this relationship. There's no way this girl should be comfortable with a 36-year old man. He's got a record, which is a huge red flag. Since they can't possibly have much in common, there's only one reason why a 17-year old and 36-year old man are together, and that's for sex. They've gotta be sleeping together because what are their dates like, dinner & a movie? I don't care what this mother has to do, but she needs to figure out a way to end this madness, even if her daughter may hate her.

With A Man Living With His Ex | Steve Harvey in the Morning on WDAS

This Strawberry Letter is about a married man trying to fix things with his ex, but he's been in his current relationship for 2 years. He says it's for the kids, but his current woman isn't buying it. First, I applaud anyone exiting a relationship on good terms with their ex because the kids need to see that their parents can be civil to each other. Usually when parents split, one parent turns the kids against the other parent and the kids are caught in the crossfire of warring parents. At the same time, when this husband broke up with his ex a couple years ago, that should've been the end. There shouldn't be any room for reconciliation because feelings are still fresh between that couple. Any woman is going to think her husband still has feelings for his ex if he's living with her. If he wants to fix things between his ex, there's no need to live with her. They can communicate by phone, Skype, text, etc. When a man takes a wife, his responsibility is to HER. All exes he has been involved with should be history.

I could be wrong, but I think this man is sleeping with his ex, otherwise why would he feel a need to live with her when he has a wife at home? Some men do pull this: They get married while maintaining ties to their ex. I think some men miss the sex from their exes, which is why many men choose to live with their exes. Then, some men try to hold onto their ex as backup; if their current relationship fails, they can pick up where they left off with the ex. Now, some exes are able to be cordial for the children's sake, while being faithful to their spouses. I co-sign the wife's suspicion as to why her man feels the need to live with his ex. He may be sincere in trying to gain closure with his ex, but he could have a hidden agenda. He may not be sexing his ex, but the wife doesn't know that. She's going to automatically assume he still has feelings for his ex.
