Today’s Friday post idea comes from Mr. CL, a Texan. As everyone is suffering in Texas (and across large swathes of the US) now from an arctic cold snap, we need ideas on how to stay warm. Time for the virtual bonfire! Huddle together and tell CN what you’d like to get rid of and […]
And the Infidelity Valentine Poetry Contest Winners Are….
Happy Valentine’s Day! Boy, it was hard to choose the winners this year. You guys have some deep reserves of snark and mordant humor. Helping me winnowing out the top haiku and limerick submissions was Mr. CL, who is qualified as a) a chump and b) a guy with a useless MA in comparative literature. […]
It’s Time Again for Infidelity Valentines!
Happy February, chumps! It’s nearly Valentine’s Day, or as people have been known to call it “Single Awareness Day.” If you’re feeling a bit adrift with all the mylar heart balloons and syrupy sentiment out there…. consider snark! Yes, it’s time once again for our Infidelity Valentine’s Day Contest where we remember the less fortunate […]
Gain a Life, Gain Better Health?
Yesterday was CN member SuperDuperChump’s birthday and he made this Friday Challenge request: How has your health improved since gaining a life? I used to be on 4 medications. None now. Still don’t eat right, nor on a regular schedule, but have lost 10lbs. Sleep good at night and am full of energy. I will […]
Fractured Hallmark Holiday Specials
We’re expecting a snow storm here today (WHOOPEE!!!! YEAAAA!!!!), and I’m taking the occasion (JOY!) to snark about the Hallmark Christmas Channel. What does this have to do with chumpdom, Tracy? Oh everything, inner sarcastic voice. Who set the bar for soppy What The Heart Wants romance? Why does every plot line include a woman […]
I’ll Be Seeing You In All the Old Familiar Places
Cheaters aren’t original. Need proof? Read a few bazillion comments here and you’ll see the same tired playbook time after time. Sure, there’s the Stupid Shit they say. But there’s also the recycled date nights, tastes and habits. You’re all just interchangeable bit players in their great narcissist drama. Did he take Schmoopie to the […]
New Age Cheaterisms
Cheaters seem well-versed in philosophy — the kind of Pinterest-board deep thoughts that can only be expressed by a sunset meme or a basket of kittens. So your Fun Friday Challenge this week is to take a popular New Age-y aphorism like “Live, Love, Laugh” and rewrite it for cheater sensibilities –“Lie, Luv, Litigate.” So what’s your Schmoopie goop speak? If you […]

Chump and Cheater Torch Songs
Dear Chump Lady, What about a Friday Challenge where you give a couple examples of songs in which the lyrics are perfect summations of either A) the feelings of the Chump B) the mentality of the Cheater So my example for B) would be the song “Sober” by TOOL I am just a worthless liar […]
How Cheap Is Your Cheater?
Once upon a time, GladIt’sOver’s ex presented her, apropos of nothing, with a half-eaten box of Wheatena cereal. As a “gift.” She told the story here and that telling detail has stayed with me ever since. It perfectly illustrates the Bounty for Me! Crap for You! narc dynamic. Today’s Fractured Friday Challenge is to play […]
