Today is my birthday and every year I rerun the first birthday column I wrote in 2012. It’s a meditation on craptacular chumpy birthdays, and what a difference a new life — and a new partner — makes. (Not that you can’t have the new life without a new partner. This always bears repeating.) Fair […]
A Decade of Chump Love
Today is my 10-year wedding anniversary. I don’t generally blog about myself or the goings on at Chez Chump. But I thought I’d make an exception as I’ve got something to share in the Mighty column — I’ve been in a healthy marriage for a DECADE. I don’t suck at this. Mr. CL doesn’t suck […]
How Are You All Self-Soothing?
I, for one, am sick of this pandemic. If you live in a sensible country that has this thing under control, God bless your functioning government. You may wish to skip today. For the rest of us, locked down, working/not working, working with kids jumping on the sofa bored out of their gourds, or home […]

I Draw Naked People
Every Sunday morning, I take a brisk walk to Georgetown and draw naked people for three hours. You’re weirder than we thought, CL. Well, I generally don’t blog about myself. On weekends, I’m usually wading through my inbox and trying to get columns together for the week. But my CL email got hacked (fucking hell!) […]
Chump Lady Slouches Toward Another Year
Today is my birthday and every year I rerun the first birthday column I wrote in 2012. It’s a meditation on craptacular chumpy birthdays, and what a difference a new life — and a new partner — makes. (Not that you can’t have the new life without a new partner. This always bears repeating.) Fair […]
Forums Ending Aug. 1
I want to pass on the sad news that I cannot do forums on Chump Lady any more. You may have just signed up explicitly to join the new forums I was going to do on Discourse. After much agonizing over this decision, I’ve decided to not move forward. If you signed up for forums […]
The Silent Chumps
The first year I started this blog, I was asked to appear on a HuffPo video panel. The subject was on being friendly with your exes. (Mine was the “no thanks” vote.) Before the segment began, the other panelists and I were chatting and introducing ourselves, off air. I said howdy, mentioned my blog, and […]
New Forums, New Features, News
Hey, I have an announcement to make — starting on Thursday, Aug. 1, the forums are moving to a new platform, Discourse. What? Change? You know I hate change, Tracy. I know, I’m here to shepherd you through it. CN, we’re bursting our buttons. When I started this place in 2012, I was self-employed, living […]
Dear Chump Lady, Why do you use foul language?
Dear Chump Lady, Why do you use foul language? My wife cringes when I use bad language (she is a linguist). It detracts from your heartfelt advice. I bought your book on Amazon and it is right on. Do yourself a favor and cut out the potty mouth. Your truly, Jim Dear Jim, Thank you […]
