Happy Dad’s day to all the chump men! Hope you’re out celebrating today and being celebrated. If you’re going through the infidelity and divorce crucible right now, and the Hallmark bonhomie of Intact Family Celebrations turns you off, please know it gets better. Like I tell all the moms on Mother’s Day, Father’s Day is […]
Radical Kindness
I was watching “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?” last night, about the life of Fred Rogers (of Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood television fame) and it struck me what a revolutionary Mr. Rogers was. Maybe it’s the divisive awful times we’re living in, but to see someone preach kindness and live kindness was positively radical. It’s easy […]

Real Love. The Antidote to Douchieness.
(Photo: Curt Chergosky) After two consecutive posts on Alain de Botton, I feel like we chumps need to collectively cleanse our palettes. Instead of effete cheater word salad, served on precious china, with little shit tea sandwiches today we’re getting a goddamn Minnesota cattle farmer. That’s what I’m writing about today — Curt Chergosky. Most of […]
In Praise of Good Men
I read so many depressing stories here at CL and elsewhere about men who abandon their families, who just shrug off decades of commitment, ignore their kids, fail to pay support. Blows my mind. I also know that guy chumps feel unfairly supported in infidelity literature, the assumption being that men are the cheaters, the […]
Dear Chump Lady, Are they all this way?
Dear Chump Lady, I LOVE your blog. In a society that basically condones cheating and keeps urging women to just accept it and reconcile it is SO refreshing to read. Thank you. I’m a young lady that grew up in a society that basically says women should expect to be cheated on and that we […]
