Are your powers of premonition pretty lousy? Me too. I have no idea who is going to win the election or what the stock market is going to do next quarter. But when it comes to infidelity, you would’ve thought that everyone is clairvoyant and that particular super power skipped you. Because after you discover your […]
Dear Chump Lady, He doesn’t feel sorry, he just feels bad. WTF?
Dear Chump Lady, I just had a conversation with my cheating husband. He now admits to at least a part of what he did, although he still maintains that there was no EA. They just had a secret “friendship” for 20 plus years. The name Sexy Beast was just a joke, yada, yada… He says […]
Nice vs. Kind
There was an interesting side discussion the other day on Chump Lady about the difference between niceness and kindness. Many people noted that their cheaters appeared to much of the world as “nice people,” but in point of fact, lacked kindness. (Sure, it’s an understatement to say that cheating is unkind.) Now, I don’t want […]
Affairs Save Marriages
Is there any greater example of Orwellian doublespeak than the slogan “affairs save marriages”? I’d like to say it’s just douchebags like Noel Biderman, founder of Ashley Madison, who spouts such self-serving crap, but pundits like Esther (I Have a Third-Rate Degree in Art Therapy) Perel and Dan Savage say similar. You know, you can preserve the sanctity […]
Dear Chump Lady, I found my cheating dad’s homemade porn
Dear Chump Lady, I am so grateful for what you did in my previous predicament! http://www.chumplady.com/2014/10/dear-chump-lady-my-dad-is-cheating-on-his-girlfriend/ His now ex-girlfriend and her son are moving out. I’ll miss them, but seeing how they argue and about what (mostly his cheating) it’s for the best. However, something has come up; I hate to come to you with […]
What Would You Do If You Got This Letter?
Yesterday, on my Chump Lady Facebook page, I received a message from a woman who’d gotten an anonymous message informing her that her husband was cheating. What would you do if you got this letter? (Names changed for anonymity.) Dear (Chump), Your new husband, (Alleged Douchebag) has ALWAYS cheated on you. He has had sex with […]
Trickle Truth, It’s Neither Trickle Nor Truth
Add to the list of Reconciliation Industrial Complex euphemisms I despise — “trickle truth.” I’ve ranted about “wayward” before and the “fog,” but it only recently occurred to me that “trickle truth” is equally moronic… or Orwellian. (Moronically Orwellian? Deviously Orwellian? Anyway…) “Trickle truth” is like “truthiness,” the term comedian Stephen Colbert coined for the rebranding of […]
Dear Chump Lady, My dad is cheating on his girlfriend
Dear Chump Lady, My parents have been divorced for about 6 years now, and my parents have moved on to see new people. My dad has a girlfriend who is somewhat younger than he is. She has a son who can be a pain, but we love him. Anyway, recently I was having just a […]
Dear Chump Lady, How do I get through today?
Dear Chump Lady, My husband and I have been together for almost 6 years, married for about 2.5. For the last 3 months, we have been visiting a marriage counselor almost weekly, mostly to deal with some issues related to addiction and its aftermath. (He has been clean and sober for awhile, but it’s still […]
If You Thought I Was That Sort of Person, You Shouldn’t Be With Me
Did anyone see the interesting story in the New York Times the other day about the fake Buddhist monks in Times Square? Apparently, there are a bunch of charlatans dressing up as Buddhist monks and nuns and aggressively pan-handling on the street. Pressing bracelets on tourists and then demanding $20. Badgering people to donate to […]
