Dear Chump Lady, While I am reaching meh, I was wondering if the Universal Bullshit Translator could help me out. During one of our last few conversations, where I was begging Ex to just be nice to me while I moved out — I was in the process of packing everything to move across the […]

Soul Blazing and Navel Gazing
Once upon a time, I took apart this execrable article — “Is It Time to Change Our Ideas of Adultery and Marriage?” This is all you need to know — the author of the Fluff-Po clickbait, Lisa Haisha, lists her profession as “soul blazer.” Guess what! Lisa does think it’s a good time to rethink our […]
Beware the Timid Forest Creatures
After you’ve been cheated on, you’d think it’s a pretty simple decision tree — reconcile or divorce.

Forgiving the ‘Sex Addict’
Whenever I think I’ve overstated the pernicious ubiquity of The Reconciliation Industrial Complex (RIC), something pops up on my news feed and gobsmacks me all over again. No. I’m not imagining it. There really is this fucked up societal message — and literal industry — insisting that chumps not just forgive, but reconcile with their […]
