UBT: Thanks to your book, my husband wants to leave me

Dear Chump Lady,

Please come take care of my child. I cheated. We were really trying to save our marriage. Then my husband read your book (Leave a Cheater, Gain a Life).

It looks like you are such an expert on how, why I did it. Or how I feel after. So he gave me your book. I read it and I threw up about how venomous and toxic your writing is. I am sorry you were cheated. Well, great job! Now you may gloat! There are other chumps like you reading your book and leaving spouses. Congratulations! You are such a guru!

Please come to Bucharest to take care of my 8-year-old while my husband is out with his friends and considers leaving me for good and I am here not being able to take care of my child. Because he gave me your precious book. You are a very bitter and self-righteous woman. Good luck living your precious life! It is a lie, even like this. Just pretend. You’re are not healed. You just play a very nice role and wear a mask.

Diane

Dear Diane,

I’m sorry your 8-year-old is caught up in this drama, stuck at home with a mother who can’t parent because… sentences. A child whose parents’ marriage may end thanks to my ability to snark and draw unicorns. Who knew my book had such a global reach that it could destroy marriages and ruin lives? Whatever shall I concentrate my guru superpowers on next? Laying waste to Tokyo?

It must really suck to feel so powerless, Diane. To have done something terrible, that you deeply regret, and not be able to take it back. That’s an awful place to be. But no one owes you reconciliation. You gambled your husband and your child’s intact family when you fucked around, Diane. They didn’t get a vote on your fucking around. They didn’t choose to have their lives blown up. They only get to choose how they’re going to react to this new set of circumstances — and you don’t control that. How terrifying for you — the threat of consequences.

Heads must roll! So look around to someone whose fault this is. Oh hey, must be me here, 5,000 miles away across the ocean. A venomous author pointing out the obvious to chumps everywhere — they don’t have to take it. Did that message of agency register with your husband, Diane?

Perhaps he could use some more clarity, so I put your letter through the Universal Bullshit Translator.

Please come take care of my child. I cheated.

Mindfuck set to Self-Pity and Rage. Threat level: RECONCILE or the child gets HURT!

We were really trying to save our marriage. Then my husband read your book.

Damn husbands and their literacy.

We were really trying to save our marriage. Then my husband realized “our marriage” wasn’t the problem. My screwing other men was.

It looks like you are such an expert on how, why I did it. Or how I feel after.

I know why I did it. I wanted to. Damn you for pointing that out.

So he gave me your book. I read it and I threw up about how venomous and toxic your writing is.

Unlike my cheating, which is lemony fresh.

I am sorry you were cheated. Well, great job! Now you may gloat!

(UBT emits evil laughter MOOHAHAHAHHAAA.)

There are other chumps like you reading your book and leaving spouses.

Cheaters don’t make chumps leave marriages, books do. I’m sorry a chump wrote a book about being chumped. Infidelity books must save marriages and blame cheating on unmet needs, pollen allergies, and leprechauns. How did a book blaming cheating on cheaters reach Bucharest? We must stop this at once, demand international sanctions, a naval blockade, and an air drop of Esther Perel essays.

Congratulations! You are such a guru!

My husband has fallen sway to a cult-like figure. His thoughts of divorce couldn’t possibly be… lucidity.

Please come to Bucharest to take care of my 8-year-old while my husband is out with his friends and considers leaving me for good and I am here not being able to take care of my child. Because he gave me your precious book.

My husband is out with his friends and I am stuck with childcare. This is unjust. I go out with my “friends” and HE does childcare. What madness is this? I cannot possibly be expected to take care of an 8-year-old. I shouldn’t be left alone with houseplants or even nail clippers. Who inflicted this CHILD on me?

I know! I’ll find an author in a faraway land to take care of my child. She’s toxic and self-righteous — the perfect company for a third grader! She’s probably great with glitter glue too! #MaryPoppinsBitch

You are a very bitter and self-righteous woman. Good luck living your precious life! It is a lie, even like this. Just pretend. You’re are not healed.

I am very threatened that you are healed. Who are these people who leave cheaters and gain lives? And worse, encourage others to leave cheaters and gain lives? It must be a lie. No one could possibly be happier without a cheater.

You just play a very nice role and wear a mask.

I fuck another man, come home to my husband, lie to his face and say, “Balázs is just a FRIEND. What? You don’t want me to have FRIENDS?” Innocent wife. It is a Very Nice Role. Husband very stupid and trusting. He look at me, he say, “You smell like goulash.” I wear Innocent Wife mask. “I only make goulash for you, Victor.”

THEN Victor reads toxic, venomous book by American bitch! He leaves me for his FRIENDS, alone with 8-year-old puşti. He says, “What? You don’t want me to have FRIENDS?”

****

My work here is done. MOOHAHAHHAHHAAHHA! Dracu ‘off, Diane.

Wowie wowie wow wow! This is one of the best letters yet! She cheats, he figures it out, is pissed, comes to a realization that he doesn’t have to take that kind of disrespect but it’s YOUR fault! She basically verified everything in your book. And boo hoo! Who was taking care of your kid while you were out fucking around? SHE did this – not the Chump Lady, not him, not the kid – YOU did, Diane. Own it. You were big enough to fuck around on your husband, not giving 2 shits about your kid. Now it’s a problem because you got caught? It’s called consequences, asshole. Deal with it!

It really sucks for cheaters, in the aftermath of the D-Day, when chumps start considering their own options/choices and making unilateral decisions… (It’s so much better when chumps stay malleable and don’t read “evil” books that encourage them to think about themselves!!) The Dianes of the world shudder when they realize they aren’t the center of the universe.

Personally, I think Tracy’s book is an excellent parting gift! And seriously, Diane – you can’t take care of your child?! And do you really believe that just because your husband read a book is the sole reason he is now uncertain whether he wants to take a gamble on trying to salvage a marriage with someone who betrayed his trust? There is no “undoing” what you did (cheating) and words aren’t worth any more than the paper than they are written on. Just saying “I’m sorry” and “I’ll change” sometimes aren’t enough to fix the damage caused by your actions. No, we don’t know your personal circumstances, but something in Tracy’s book must have struck a chord with your husband. Otherwise he wouldn’t have given it to you.

(Actually, I have a lady friend who had a run-in with a dastardly man called Balázs. I love that you chose his name as the Bad Example.)

Diane, please go to the US and look after Tracy’s son. Oh, hang on. She already did that. For years, on her own, and then with a perennial cheater, who she had to divorce after multiple D-Days, and harassment, and bullying, and threats of violence from him.

You chose to cheat. There are consequences. Accept them, and join the adult world.

Tracy, I am in awe of your international superpowers. Definitely laying waste to Tokyo next.

I will take care of her child!

Because while my cheater then-husband was gone from the house “working late”, I had no problem raising the kids by myself. Actually, I was so good at it that my kids never realized how much their father was absent. And when the cheater left me and filed for divorce to be with the OW, I remained the best parent ever. My children are strong, caring, loving and successful.

So, knowing how to be a sane and loving parent, I would rather help your husband raise your daughter then leave her with an uncaring, cold-hearted woman like Diane.

Diane, if your reading this, you need to know that behind the snark and curse words, Chump Nation is filled with good people whose hearts have been crushed by people like you!

We are the ones who understand what it’s like not to be loved for who we are – just like the pitiful love you don’t even show for your own daughter. We are the ones who step up to the plate and clean up the crap people like you leave in their wake. Things like CHILDREN, credit, homes, ailing and aging family members. Make fun of the snarky tone all you want. Chumps are the ones who live with full hearts and show up!

Diane’s husband – if you’re out there reading this, contact Chump Lady and she can put you in touch with me. I will help you raise your child. Truth is though, you probably don’t need that help because you’ve probably been parenting alone for a very long time.

Well Diane, none of us give a flying rats ass. It is so much easier to blame a book for your husband seeing you for who you really are. How dare he go out and have fun. That is for you to do. And to think if it were not for the book. You could still have your cake and eat it to. Cheaters sure do read from the same script.

nomar

The last sentence in a cheater’s narrative about anything is ALWAYS about how they are the victim—Never about learning a lesson or taking responsibility or foreseeable consequences.

For this reason, Diane’s letter reminds me of how my cheating ex-wife told our sons that I broke the marriage by being the household kill-joy, and gave up on the marriage by filing for divorce. Can’t control the lies they tell and the truths they won’t see. All you can do is walk away from the problem and gain a life.

Wife cheated on me with a co-worker and then a meth head in rehab, punched me in the face, degraded everything about me (think the whole gambit from my job to my penis size–a wide swath) to my face in a psychotic weekend of rage, and peed on me while I slept.

But, just last week, she blamed me for the divorce saying it “is a consequence of my choice” and that “the children and I suffer because you want freedom.” This was in response to me saying that her choices have consequences now.

Poor sad sausage. Still getting a divorce. Here’s a tissue to dry that tear.

Cheating aside, she sounds incredibly abusive, and you should not be accepting one second of that behavior. Also adults who aren’t house broken are a deal breaker (exempting something like extreme age or an illness/disability). Go for as much custody as possible, don’t let your kids just stay with such an abusive woman. She’ll turn her rage on the kids if she hasn’t already when you aren’t around.

I’m going to Romania in 2020 for a conference and among the bidders for hosting this conference were also France, Cuba and Mexico. But Romania won the bid to host by far because the organizers had the presence of spirit to show how much less beer and wine cost there, plus good food, inexpensive to get there and the scientific tradition in the field (there is a famous parasite named after a Romanian scientist and now we at CN have Diane as another famous parasite). And now I know how to curse in Romanian.

Chumps in Romania. Bucharest and Budapest are oftenly mistaken, no harm done here. The real harm is done by the irresponsible, entitled, fuck-face cheaters who think that screwing people behind the backs of their innocent spouses is OK, everybody should understand, be friends and positive. And “Fuck off, Diane” is “Du-te dracului, Diane!”. Keep it up, ChumpLady! Unfortunately it’s full of Dianes out there but thanks to you I have sure learned how to stay as safe as possible from them.

We have whole encyclopedias of more creative curses than that in Romanian: cosmic (fucking the sun, or other stars under which the curse’s target is born), genetic (fucking the target’s mothers ancestors is a perennial favorite), zoological (think horses and, well, fucking, again), merely utilitarian (one co-worker had a beautiful expression involving blow jobs and jackhammers), or ontological (sending the target back to their mother’s cunt and, implicitly, womb, is a classic). They come in really handy when expressing the righteous anger of chumpitude.

What is really sad is that if this woman would focus on her own sins, work herself out by straightening out her moral compass and humble herself in showing true remorse, she would likely be able to save her marriage, if that is in fact what she wants for herself and her child.

Instead, she’s shifting the blame to a stranger 1000s of miles away. Blaming a book for why her husband has now distanced himself from her. Resentful that he’s doling out a teaspoon of her own medicine, likely because she’s done nothing at home that makes him believe that she’s remotely sorry for the damage she inflicted on her family.

Diane – Perhaps, you need to re-read the parts of the book about what it really takes for a cheater to make amends for what they have done. Use that as a starting point to work yourself out in an authentic manner. Humble yourself. Get help for yourself. Show real remorse. Work on being a good mom who appreciates her child. Meet the needs of the people around you so that it’s not all about you. Do it because it’s the right thing that a good person must do, not because you want what you want. Your husband doesn’t owe you a damn thing after you chose to become a cheater. Grow up!

Cheaters get their just desserts when chumps enforce consequences, buuuut… a million years ago when I was 19 I was raped by a man I thought was my friend. My boyfriend at the time was furious with me for “cheating”. I bought into his narrative and apologized and did everything he asked to atone for my “sin”. It took me 15 years before I realized how messed up his reaction was.

Maybe I’m just too willing to give the benefit of the doubt. This Diane says she cheated. Maybe she deserves all she’s getting now, but many, many rape victims blame themselves like I did. I usually enjoy a good cheater bashing as much as the next chump, but something about this letter gives me a bad taste in my mouth.

Swede-Chump, I’m sorry this happened to you. I unfortunately know what it’s like to undergo a trauma and live with the wrong framing of it for over a decade. I hope you’ve made peace with it; I’m still trying. Regardless of what Diane actually did or didn’t do, it’s to your credit that you used your experience to have more empathy for others.

I’m very sorry about happened to you when you were young, swede-chump. You were a victim, and I wish you continued strength on your journey of reclaiming your power. But this woman who wrote this letter does not sound like a victim in any way shape or form. She sounds incredibly entitled and remorseless. What leaves a bad taste in my mouth here is the resentful tone she uses speaking of her child.

“Please come to Bucharest to take care of my 8-year-old while my husband is out with his friends and considers leaving me for good and I am here not being able to take care of my child. ” What the actual fuck is up with this sentence? Why can’t you take care of your child, Diane? Seriously, I’m not sure I’m following. Are you saying you’re so upset that your husband might divorce your cheating ass that you can’t take care of your child? WTF woman, how do you think he felt? Probably like the rest of us chumps: gutted, shattered, paralyzed with dysfunction, from YOUR betrayal. YOU caused this, Diane, take some fucking responsibility. But you won’t! You’re just going to keep blaming everyone and everything but yourself. And what about your child? Are you seriously going to blame a FUCKING BOOK for YOUR FAILURE to care for YOUR CHILD? Not to put too fine a point on it, but you sound like you’re as shitty a mother as you are a wife

I was going to ask you if this letter is real Tracy. But it is, isn’t it. These fucking people are EVERYWHERE

Did you know he’s reconnecting with his friends – friends??!!! As if I hadn’t spent years trying to cut him off from them so he’d just stay home, do work, and not have people to give him the occasional sanity check through my gaslighting – and now he’s out having drinks with them! Well, I hope you’re happy, CL! I hope you’re happy.

The Chump is getting some heat for abandoning the kid to this terrible mother, but it’s possible he married a woman with a child from a previous relationship. Maybe it was just poorly written, but I notice she says she is taking care of “my child” while “my husband” is out with friends. Not “our child”. A good guy would make sure that a kid didn’t starve, but if she was using his affection as a weapon (you can’t see the kid unless you come back, give me money, let me keep the house…) he might have to go no contact to get free, hope to resume a relationship when the child was older. Maybe offer some support on the down-low so he knows the child is getting the benefit from it.

Or maybe she is just a crazy narc and people are possessions to her.

It’s also possible that he got a surprise results from a paternity test.

Too much crazy to untangle today.

The message of the letter was quite clear – your dreadful book put a halt to her husband’s exquisite pick-me dancing.

“Trying to save our marriage” was cheater code for her betrayed husband busily begging and wooing and making her life oh-so-wonderful. And dammit, she was enjoying that unexpected benefit of being a duplicitous and entitled human.

How dare you, Tracy?? How unreasonable that you offer comfort, solace and clarity to thousands of wounded souls and give them permission to take of their painful and humiliating dancing shoes.

“permission to take of their painful and humiliating dancing shoes.” Wow love this sentence. That was the worst of the pain, wasn’t it? Worse than the betrayal, was how much he enjoyed my humiliation. Makes me sick to remember it. I remember my brother begging me to put a stop to it, which I finally did. I had miles to climb up out of the black hole in the ground, but the humiliation of the pick me dance was the absolute bottom

Diane- I’m going to reiterate the question from others – why are you unable to take care of your child? I’m not saying it’s not tough if your husband isn’t home, but as that and his reading CL’s book are the only reasons you give, we can’t help but be suspicious. Blaming everyone else without clear reason is a cheater hallmark.

That is the million dollar question for me. Clearly she is not a good mother. If she found time to cheat on her husband she must also have been neglecting the child at the time. Perhaps that is all this is. What? Now I have to be stuck here looking after my child instead of being out partying? No fair. Tracy, come watch my child so I can go party. To me the tone of the letter implies, however, that she cannot materially afford to look after her child. If he leaves her with the child and no $ and she has no income and can’t work because she has no access to and/or can’t afford child care then that is a serious problem for the child. The father has a responsibility to make sure the child is cared for and has the resources he/she needs if he leaves the wife. He may well be doing so and the cheater is just feeling sorry for herself because she has to stay home and watch her child while he takes a turn out partying. I don’t care what happens to the cheater wife, but the child needs to be taken care of financially and emotionally and both parents have a responsibility there. Ideally, the father would take the child with him when he leaves the wife. Then she won’t have to look after him anymore and problem solved.

The only thing missing from Diane’s list of grievances — the common possession of cheaters everywhere — is something along the lines of:

“One mistake does not a person make. Go ahead and judge me, just remember to be perfect for the rest of your life.”

Reminded me of my stbx. Comes home after being with OW all night – lies and says he’s doing his hobby of taking pictures with his camera all night taking night pictures. (He can’g go during the day, the sun hurts his eyes).

What? He can’t have hobbies? How dare I not support him in his hobby! He works so hard all day – he needs a hobby to unwind and relax! He works so hard for us!

Well, I supported his hobbies of boat racing, drones, motorcycles, toy haulers, quads, recreational boats….. but this hobby I do not support (doing his coworker) so he demands a separation because I am so mean and selfish!

He tells our daughter what a monster I am. He had to move out. His gf 25 years younger saved him from me – she’s so wonderful.

So I helped him out and did one better. Skip the separation, let’s go straight for divorce.

His mom said he has poor impulse control. Always, always will.

He told me that I needed to take our daughter to therapy and I should get therapy, too.

He doesn’t need therapy. He has poor impulse control that ruins lives, but hey. He works hard – he’s gotta play hard.

Poor impulse control is only the tip of the iceberg. Destroying people and families with no remorse. Telling your daughter to go tell your girlfriend she hates her (OW helped destroy a family – is that a problem? You guys aren’t going out to have your nails done today? what? )

Why is it cheaters don’t think about their children when they’re stabbing their other parent in the back?

Is it :

A) Cheating doesn’t affect children
B) DARVO
C) Children live in an alternate universe and not in reality

The answer is B: DARVO (deny, attack, reverse victim/offender)

Deny: state that one refuses to admit the truth or existence of.
“She denies any responsibility for the tragedy”

Attack: criticize or oppose fiercely and publicly.
“She attacked Chump Ladies book”

Reverse: turn (something) the other way around or up or inside out and make it the opposite of what it was.
“a reversed S-shape”

Victim: a person who is tricked, duped, harmed or killed by the actions of another person.
“he was the victim of infidelity”

Offender: a person or thing that offends, does something wrong, or causes problems.
“of marital offenses, the worst offender is infidelity”

WTH? I cannot take care of my child because my husband is out with his friends.

Kind of like I cannot take care of my dog because children in Africa do not have clean drinking water? Pardon me for missing the connection.

Fuckwit used to leave me for days/weeks at a time to do things like fish, hunt and fuck whores. Somehow I was able to care for my 5 children. Although I have friends now who tell me they would have never let their husbands go do those things so maybe I am on your level Tracy and these small people just can’t fathom it. I take my guru superpowers for granted (sounding narc like anyone?).

Glad to hear the husband read the book. He’s apparently gotten to the point that he’s not willing to accept the blame for his wife’s affair anymore – good for him.

So what do we have? An attempt at blameshifting to a different (and distant) source – CL. I’ll admit, there’s some creativity there. Ridiculous, and yet so desperate.

So being from Bucharest, the Russian Judge is impressed and gives it a 9, the East German Judge gives it a 9, while the American Judge is the party pooper – gives it a 2. Awwww, just short of the medal stand. Alas, you can try again in 4 years.

Chumplady that was an awesome UBT translation! That letter sure does give us a glimpse of what goes on in a disordered person’s mind. It’s all about blaming someone else and not once she takes any responsibility for destroying the family. I got so angry reading that letter, but it goes to show these disordered folk are really mentally F-ed up. That’s how they think. And it’s classic narcissistic behavior, where they aren’t the problem, but everyone else around them is. Which falls in line with that’s why Narcs are the problem and never get therapy, but everyone around them seeks therapy.

Tracy, you should write a book on a reverse psychology language to be used during early engagement with the cheater. You know, what to say back in “cheater-speak”. I don’t think they could comprehend their own diatribe if it got reflected back upon them. Or make it a Friday challenge.

I can’t help but notice that a person who felt focused on mutually working hard on a marriage with his partner might not be super likely to select and read a book with a title that suggests that completely switching gears away from that oh-so-meaningful work is an option.

In other words, I think Diane’s use of the word “we” is, perhaps, somewhat questionable. 😉

I also think that if one single book in the entire RIC soup of books is really powerful enough to tip a person’s scale, then something else would have done it if the book hadn’t. Attacking CL for holding and sharing her point of view on cheating is a pretty weak foundation for an argument. When CL goes after, say, Perel, she goes after her actual words and demonstrable actions. When Diane goes after CL, she goes after her personal well being. Speech and debate teachers everywhere could use this as an illustrative study in the difference between a well-constructed, fact-based persuasive argument and a weak and misinformed attempt at persuasion.

I would like to know the situation of the child. I have no idea what the laws are in Romania. Does the father have any monetary responsibility for his child? Is he able to get custody or does it automatically go to the mother? Did Dad leave the child too and leave him unsupported or is he doing everything he can to get custody and/or support his child financially and emotionally. If not, then he is an asshole too. Leave a Cheater, Gain a Life doesn’t mean abandon your child with the cheater if you can help it (sometimes you can’t because the courts are stupid). If he is doing everything he can to gain custody, provide financial support for and maintain a relationship with his child then that is another story. In that case she is preventing him from being with his son and then complaining that he is out partying while she is stuck home looking after said child. That is the more likely scenario because that is the way these self-pitying cheaters think. Either way he clearly hasn’t taken her child away from her and she should be grateful for that.
