Creepy sexting mongoose “Carlos Danger”, otherwise known as disgraced politician Anthony Weiner, has a bad case of the sadz. He sobbed in court this week as he was sentenced to 21 months in prison and three years of probation for naked video chatting with a 15-year-old girl. He also has to register as a sex […]
Dear Chump Lady, I wish I would’ve pressed charges
Dear Chump Lady, I have been divorced for several years. I found out during my marriage that my husband was a voyeur (taking secret video tapes of unsuspecting people without their consent in showers, bathrooms, etc). During this time I also found out he was having affairs, hooking up with random strangers on Craiglist, and […]
Abuse Goes with Substance Abuse
The good people at DrugRehab.com reached out to me to ask if I would spread the public service announcement message that domestic abuse goes hand in hand with substance abuse. Many in Chump Nation are dealing with cheaters who are also addicts, and/or physically abusive. Also, many people respond to abuse (including our kids) by self-medicating […]

Dear Chump Lady, I’m a serial cheater and I want to change
Hey Chump Lady, Found your book in the book store. It’s been tough to read, and I guess I’m doing that thing that a lot of asshole guys do — thinking I’m a unicorn, that I can change, that I can do better for my partner, that I can overcome this super shitty way of life. I know your specialty is […]
UBT: Fred Armisen: Cheating “Is Just Something That Happens”
Apparently, comedian Fred Armisen (of SNL and Portlandia fame) enjoys some measure of renown as a douchebag. But like the characters he plays, he’s a nonchalant, unstudied sort of douche. Scratch the surface it’s just more irony and snark. And more surface. So he’s a superficial Hollywood guy who has a reputation for fucking around — […]
Interview with Dr. David Ley, author of “The Myth of Sex Addiction”
Today we’re speaking with Dr. David Ley, a clinical psychologist and author of The Myth of Sex Addiction. Dr. Ley is an outspoken opponent of the pseudo-science and hype surrounding “sex addiction.” As many of the readers here had cheaters who were diagnosed SAs (and probably have the thousands of wasted therapy dollars to prove it), […]
Is “Sex Addiction” Real?
The other day the comments on “Pain Shopping” got off on a tangent about sex addiction. Gee, I’ve been wanting to discuss that for awhile.
