Dear Chump Lady, Can I still be in the CN club? Do I still get to hate my husband as much as everyone else here gets to hate their crappy spouses even though he was “a moral cheater”? Mine didn’t want even want cake….ghosts don’t eat cake. We were married for 5 years, with two […]

Dear Chump Lady, My husband is having an emotional affair with his HS girlfriend
Dear Chump Lady, I uncovered an emotional affair my husband was having that started before we began dating.

Before she got married her […]
Dear Chump Lady, How do I break through to her?

Dear Chump Lady, “I couldn’t forgive a mistake.”
Dear Chump Lady, Can you tell me your theory about emotional affairs? My husband had an emotional affair two years ago.

I know your friends and she’s not one of them. The worst part was […]
Dear Chump Lady, Reconciling from his emotional affair is not working
Hi Chump Lady, We’ve been married for 8 years and we were both working parents to 2 kids. I’ve always been the breadwinner and he has no problem with that until recently. Last year my husband lost his job and became SAHD ever since. He admitted that he was unhappy and bored so I tried to […]
Dear Chump Lady, Can I destroy the OW, please?
Dear Chump Lady, My husband confessed on New Years Eve to an emotional affair with a subordinate. I spent 12 months suspecting, he spent 12 months telling me I was delusional and needed professional help. Standard shit, above average mental abuse. I’m a smoking hot mama, good body, dress like a rock star, stay at […]
Dear Chump Lady, Am I a chump for believing they were “just friends”?
Dear Chump Lady, My wife finally announced to me in early September that she was in love with a long standing friend of ours. He and his wife have been our friends for about sixteen years. Their marriage started tanking about 6 years ago, and then apparently he had an affair that she got wind […]
Dear Chump Lady, Should I confront him about his emotional affair?
Dear Chump Lady, I have evidence that my husband of 12 years is having an emotional affair. I’ve been “laying low,” following your advice for about 6 weeks and collecting evidence.
