January 8, 2021 by Chump Lady

Stay friends

Dear Chump Lady, What is up with the world asking me to be friends or friendly to Cheater Ex-Husband (XH)?! I am two years out from D-Day and 18 months out from divorce after a 23 year relationship (12 married), and it seems like there are all sorts of periphery people who seem to think […]

What Happens to Couple Friends After Divorce?

December 3, 2020 by Chump Lady

When the Other Woman Was a Frienemy

November 2, 2020 by Chump Lady

Dear Chump Lady, I struggle so much with my situation. My husband of 15 years had an affair with someone I considered a close friend. For over a year. Their lies and manipulation are astounding. We went on trips together with our families (she’s a stay at home mom and was married with kids too), […]

He Cheated… Everyone Feels Sorry for Him

July 6, 2020 by Chump Lady

Dear Chump Lady, It has been 9 months since D-Day #2 and today would have been our 9th anniversary. A few days ago my STBXH made a public social media post about his mental health — admitting contemplating suicide, being in counseling and on meds — even (and this made me sick) making a vague […]

Escape After D-Day — ‘Should I Move?’

June 23, 2020 by Chump Lady

Dear Chump Lady, Shortly after New Year’s I accidentally found an email in our computer I couldn’t believe at first sight. The 31-year-old woman whom I had lived together with for 8 years, the woman I married 1 year and a half before that D-day, was cheating on me with another married man. He’s 10 […]

How Come No One But Chumps Seems to Get It?

June 17, 2020 by Chump Lady

Muffin top

Hi Chump Lady, Could you please give some advice as to how I can stop obsessing about cheater apologists? Absolutely nobody except those who have been cheated on seem to get it. My own mother told me that she can’t judge all cheaters because she doesn’t know the circumstances — there could be gray areas. […]

October 29, 2019 by Chump Lady

Dear Chump Lady, I am 6 months post-divorce after discovering my ex-wife’s infidelity.  My question is what happens to couple friends after divorce?
