A chump wrote to ask me what I thought about “pain shopping.” I had no idea what it was. So I asked her, “What’s pain shopping?” She wrote back, “Like when I ask my husband about his affair.” Oh. So I googled. Apparently, in unicorn circles, “pain shopping” is that chump habit of hyper-vigilance, you […]
Dear Chump Lady, He shoveled my snow, so he cares?
Dear Chump Lady, Situation: I had a feeling that my husband of 8 years messed around with my best friend on New Year’s. I was smart and didn’t confront him. Instead, I gathered info, texts, found a timeline of events that didn’t make sense, and last found “remnants” of her “juices” on the front of […]
“Do Cheaters All Work from the Same Script?”
Dear Chump Lady, After faithfully reading this blog and thinking about all that we have been through I still have questions. 1. How did all of these cheaters from all over the world basically learn the same script? I read everyone’s posts and I keep hearing the same dialogue that I had with my ex. […]
Dear Chump Lady, I’d divorce her, but she wants that
Dear Chump Lady: I’ve read your advice and I want to divorce her. But that’s what she wants and she is manipulating me into being the one to do it. We’ve been separated for 6 months with essentially No Contact and I’m fairly certain she is committed to Smoochy Poo. The RIC has convinced me […]
Got Jesus Cheaters?
Yesterday’s column, “Don’t Date This Person,” had a glaring omission — Jesus cheaters. Bible belt? This Friday challenge is for you. You get to tell CN about all the sanctimonious weird Jesus shit your adulterers got up to. Meeting in hotel rooms for Bible study? Sending you “thoughts and prayers”? Demanding forgiveness? Jesus cheaters are their own […]
Don’t Date This Person
Don’t you wish cheaters came with forehead stamps? Abandon Hope All Ye Who Date Me! Kibble Whore. Flaming Freak. But no. We’re left to our own faulty powers of discernment. After reading my umpteenth letter of Relationship Recitation with Waving Red Flags, I thought I should compile a list of People You Should Not Date. Feel […]
Dear Chump Lady, Was I THAT bad?
Hi Chump Lady, I’m a chump, my ex-wife cheated on me with a man twice her age, 59, and then left me and moved in with him after I found out. We both have decent jobs, had the house of our dreams and neither of us wanted kids, so we had plenty of freedom. The […]
“Why do cheaters need to punish the chump?”
Dear Chump Lady, I’ve been separated about 8 months from my STBX cheater. We were married for 7 years when he began having an affair with his ho-worker. I went through the hell of false reconciliation several times and I finally said enough was enough, because I just couldn’t buy his bullshit anymore, and I […]
Dear Chump Lady, He says he cheated to protect me
Dear Chump Lady, My STBX got caught over 3 years ago in an affair. The truth came out that he had cheated with about 25 different people during the six years we had been married at that point. We tried reconciliation and for 3 years he did good. And then he cheated again with a […]
What’s In. What’s Out
You know all those New Year’s listicles for what’s in for 2019 and out for 2018? I think CN needs one! Out: Pick me dancing. In: See ya later, clown. Out: Self-loathing. In: Mightiness. Out: 200 lbs of mindfuck. In: New puppy. Chasing unicorns was so last year. Tell me what’s trending for 2019 in […]
