What happened

Nypost reports: Should I give the man who ghosted me a second chance?.

Why it matters

Gail Rudnick and Kim Murstein — the no-nonsense hosts of hit podcast series “Excuse My Grandma” — are The Post’s brand-new advice columnists.

Common ground

From family feuds to friendship fallouts, money, marriage and sex, there’s no topic too taboo to tackle, and the native New Yorkers will hash out each issue from their differing perspectives to tell the tough-love truth — and you’ll thank them for it.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.

Claim 1: “And I’ve ended up being married for 62 years.”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
The provided evidence does not confirm Gail Rudnick's marriage length. One search result mentions a different couple (Alice and Don Williams) married for 62 years, and another is a generic TikTok search result. There is no specific evidence linking this fact to Gail Rudnick.
