Leave a cheater, gain a life
Happy Mother’s Day everyone! I’ve got my son home from college and everything’s grand. I’m celebrating the weekend by making his dental appointments and replacing sports shoes, because… motherhood. Here’s a rerun and have a WONDERFUL weekend! *** I was a single mom for most of my son’s childhood, and I have to confess to […]
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!), […]
Dear Chump Lady, Is it OK for me to fuck with his head? I really want to scare him and the OW over the holiday season for my amusement. I probably would not follow through (but I may). I know stuff that will freak them out, not to mention his other family members, if I […]
Dear Chump Lady, WTF do we chumps do about X-mas greetings from fucktard ex when they drop kids/collect kids and wish us a “Merry Christmas”? The thought of saying “you too” sticks in my craw and I want to say “Fuck you very much.” What if it’s a “Season’s Greetings” text or email? Does not responding […]
Hey, it’s time for a Chump Nation mightiness check in! To the newbies, about every 6 months or so I ask CN to tell me how the “gain a life” thing is going. The holidays can be rough, and maybe you don’t feel as if have any Christmas-newsletter-above-the-fold sort of achievements to report. We’ll take […]
It’s time again for our Cheater Freak Christmas Countdown! To the newbies, every year we try to best each other with our cheater freak stories. In the past, the winners got their submissions cartooned in the new year. This year, the winner gets a copy of my new audio book! (I know, I know, it’s not […]
One of the lasting “gifts” of infidelity for me is that the holidays can’t roll around without me thinking, “Someone’s going to have a D-Day right about now.” D-days, otherwise known as “discovery days” or “damn my life is nothing like I thought days” or “dial a lawyer now days”, can happen anytime, but they’re more […]
Any choral music geeks out there in Chump Nation? It’s Sunday night and I just got back from a performance at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. to hear Candlelight Christmas by the Washington Chorus. It’s our second year attending, and maybe I’m all goopy from the Handel’s Messiah singalong (AND HE WILL REIGN FOREVER! […]
Tis the season for unsolicited advice. Apparently, a bunch of you aren’t doing divorce right, and some well-meaning onlookers (cough…) have seen fit to point out your shortcomings. In yesterday’s comments, “Fern” imagined a rebuttal for busy bodies: “When you find out your spouse has been fucking strangers up the ass while you are home […]
It’s that season again and it’s time to rerun this column. If you’re in a bit of a holiday slump, this goes one out to you. For the survivors of previous sucky holidays, tell the new ones how you did it in the comments. Thanks! — Tracy Dear Chump Lady, I am six months out from separation. Facing […]
