Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for January 28, 2022

Never had that problem.

HOw many marriages does it take to get it right? For some, they never do. Just keep making the same bad choices.

I’m lucky.

True, Aunty, but being lonely ain’t so great, either.

Yes, but unfortunately you don’t always get the chance to know that ahead of time…

What did i miss? Whahoppened to Walt?

Aunty, this is so true. One of the things I realized, after getting away from the wrong person then a rebound relationship . . . many people are with someone more because they’re afraid of being alone than because they truly want to be with that person.

Since then, a lifetime of contentedness and friends.

It’s all relative.

I only have one “EX” and that’s a brother-in-law. It took my sister about 15 years to figure it out.

how true but that doesn’t stop people from being in one. Hopefully you recognize it shorty after starting it and end it before you have invested valuable time in it.

How very true.

True that!

Sometimes Aunty Acid comes out with pearls of wisdom.

now you tell me…

I’m single, and I love it!!!!! I’m never lonely or bored either.

Single and happy!! Never bored, never lonely. Too much to do, too many interests.

No woman is safe with a man. That is the simple truth.

The one and only happily married woman I have ever known came to a sad end. Her husband and I were close friends at work — I thought he was the nicest guy I ever met and we had a lot of common interests. He introduced me to his wife, sure that we would become friends. They had been married over 20 years at that point and he thought she was the greatest and she thought he was the greatest. I knew them for 15 years and always said they were the one instance of a truly good marriage I had ever seen.

Then one day he savagely beat her to death. The police described the scene as “horrific.”
