Q Hi there Auntie Pearl, I’m 32 and have a son with my ex-berk.
It’s because of that piece of gemors that I am sending you this email.
You see, Auntie, after being together for over three years, he gooied a lange and moved in with another woman who has two laaities.
Now maybe I could have gotten over it if he had explained what’s going on, I know not all things last forever, but I thought we were a kwaai couple.
But this guy just can’t give me a straight answer about why he left.
What do you think, should I hold on to see if he comes back?
From Bonnie B.
A Now Bonnie, please tell Auntie that you are not sitting around waiting for this runaway berk to come back.
Look, this is a terrible situation and Auntie’s heart bleeds for you and your little boy, but if I’ve learned anything in my many years on earth, it’s that rubbish belongs in the bin.
This ex of yours sounds like a coward, just packing his bags without an explanation.
Eish, sounds to Auntie like he was fine being together when he could get his satisfaction, but when a child came along and the responsibilities came knocking, he ran away.
So here’s the thing: it’s time to move on.
But before you tell him to go vlieg in his moer, Auntie suggests you give him one more chance.
You need to talk to him face to face, and tell him straight that he has to decide right here and now if he wants to be a family.
It’s a yes or no answer and if he says no, you say good riddance to bad rubbish.
Just make sure he pays his papgeld, it’s mos tough being a single mom.
You just concentrate on being the best mommy you can be for your laaitie.
Good luck, Bonnie, let us know how it goes.
