The beautiful people don't always have beautiful offspring. It's probably some sort of weird genetic canceling-out or something. Until the age of designer babies, getting pregnant will continue to be a real crapshoot.
Hello Steamboat,
I love your site and read it everyday from my desk at work, you guys keep me cracking up!! I have an issue with my boyfriend that I’d like to share with your readers to gain a better perspective on things. Me and my boyfriend have been together for a little more than three and a half years. We’re both in our 30’s he’s 37 and I’m 34. And I truly love my man, I really do, he was supportive of my finishing school and he’s a really good guy who makes a disconcerted effort to do the right thing and makes me feel secure in our relationship. When we met he was just a little more than a year fresh out of a divorce from an eight year marriage. He and his ex-wife have two kids and he’s a great father to his kids but when we first got together, him and his ex were on terrible terms. I encouraged him to repair his communication with her because, coming from a broken household myself, I didn’t want his kids to continuously witness them at each others throats. He says he’s grateful for my understanding and that he would never have made those changes if I had not made mention of my concerns. But here we are, almost four years into our relationship and I want to be his wife and have at least one child with him. I’m 34, I’m not getting any younger and I’m ready to take these steps but whenever I talk about marriage and kids he avoids the subject. I don’t believe in shacking up but he convinced me to try him and we’ve been living together for about 6 months and I truly enjoy coming home to him, cooking for him and sharing my life with him. But I really want to get married and it just seems like a topic that is off limits. Other than me wanting him to put a ring on it, I have no complaints, like I said he’s a good man and we’ve built a strong foundation but my biological clock is ticking, lol. I want to get married and he seems content. Please be nice Steamboaters what should I do?
Yours truely,
Marry Me :)
Dear Ms. Can’t get a man to marry me,
Well let me start with a thank you for writing me. In addition, here is the reason to why he will not marry you. He is just not that into you. He has you where he wants you cooking, cleaning, and sexing him without giving you the ring. I suggest you take a pot of hot grits to his back to get his mind right. Once again thanks for being a fan.
Dear Steamboat Mcfibbins,
I am probably the first man to write in to your site but I can’t really talk to my boys about the subject at hand. I have a history of sleeping with women that one of my boys (from the second grade) had eyes for. I know it’s not right and gone out of my way to correct my behavior because I value our friendship. Boys before breezys. He’s got this chick he’s been with for a while now( he’s talking marriage) and lately she’s been making passes at me. Over the Thanksgiving holiday, we were in my kitchen and she got too close and rubbed her booty on me. I know she did it on purpose and I don’t know if it was because she had been drinking, but even when she’s sober, she be giving me that “look” and talking slick on the low. I want to tell my boy that she’s scandalous but I have such a crazy past as it relates to women with him. My question is, do I say something to her? Do I say something to him? Or do I let it ride?
Dear Rayray Junebug Jenkins Johnson,
Thanks for sending in your letter, I have no advice for you wait, I think you should tell your friend about his girlfriend after you sleep with her. This maybe a test from him to see how loyal you are. It's ho's before bros and since she's making passes at you. On the other hand, this may not be a test and he kills you. Well sucks to be you.
Peace & Hair Grease
