Leave a cheater, gain a life
Dear Chump Lady, In my quest to do something normal after he goes to bed drunk and angry (because it’s my fault I found out about his affairs and yet will still make him dinner) and calm myself (just until I can get him OUT… I have a plan in motion), I watch a little […]
Well, I sure am feeling the CN mightiness after yesterday’s epic blog birthday. THANK YOU for the Patreon love. But I wanted to check in, as I do here periodically, and see how your mighty is going. Did anyone see that story in the Washington Post about Anthony Anderson the amazing kid who sings German […]
Dear Chump Lady, Please chump some sense into me. I separated from my soon-to-be-ex-husband almost 2 years ago… following so many D-days that I won’t even bother quantifying them. He cheated A LOT and I chumped just as much. We were together nearly 12 years, married for 5… and, hindsight being what it is, I […]
I get a lot of sad letters at Chump Lady. Letters like: “I know I should leave him. But I am in pain, I really really love him so much!!! My life is meaningless without him. I think about him every single minute. I keep hoping he will realize I am the best girl, without […]
I was thinking the other day that I should start a testimonials page for Chump Nation. I get the sweetest letters, like this one from Heather: Thank you for your work. I don’t come to the site often anymore, but I am so grateful that it is here when I want it — more grateful […]
Dear Chump Lady and CN, Two years ago on Valentine’s Day (which also happens to be my birthday) I discovered my husband was carrying on an affair with his co-worker that he had eight months prior assured me he had completely ended. At this point I was already reduced to 85 pounds, on anti-depressants, and […]
Dear Chump Lady, How do I get past this righteous thought of “it’s not fair!”? I found out my ex was cheating on me with my best friend (ex best friend now) about a year ago. Of course just when I was getting over my girlfriend, about 6 months later, she came back to me […]
I get a lot of mail and many of my questions boil down to — How will I ever manage? How can I be alone? Surely it’s a cesspool out there and All The Good People Are Gone! Generally, these people are telling me this to make rationalizations to stay. On the one hand, they’ll outline […]
I had such an inspiring day yesterday, and it was a Tuesday, of course! If you’re wondering about the significance of Tuesday, it’s a buzzword here. People often ask me, “When does the pain stop?” and I tell them “Tuesday.” I don’t know which Tuesday, I only know that your Tuesday is out there. Tuesday […]
Happy Almost New Year’s Chump Nation! Boy, I for one am quite happy to see 2017 go down the shitter. Let’s hear it for new starts! We’re all about gaining a life at CN, so in keeping with the spirit of self-improvement and personal growth (that isn’t girth — I rebuke you leftover Christmas cookies!), […]
