Dear Chump Lady, My life is a dumpster fire. I have three children, ages 10, 3, and 1. I’ve been married to to my idiot husband for 10.5 years. Three months ago, I discovered he had a Tinder account, in which he was communicating with many women. With further investigation, I discovered he also communicated […]
Worst of the Flying Monkeys?
Today’s Friday Challenge by popular demand (from last week’s Friday Challenge) is… … Flying monkeys! I don’t know about you, but those winged primates used to freak me out as a child. The Wicked Witch was bad enough, setting Scarecrow on fire and zooming around sky-writing threats. But those freaky little monkeys in their organ […]
He’s Back After ‘Ending It’ with OW
Dear Chump Lady, I just heard from my mother that my soon-to-be-ex reached out to her pleading after I had made it clear I was done talking to him last week. All the things I had prayed to hear 5 months ago after D-Day. He ended it with her. He admitted what a low life […]
What If He Changes for the Next One?
Dear Chump Lady, I called off my wedding three months before the big day, after discovering that my fiance was sleeping around with multiple women, including his ex. Anyways, as stupid as it sounds, I feel like I was completely blindsided. He was so amazing to me and he was the one who pursued me all this time. I […]
No Family and Feeling Alone
Hi Chump Lady, I’m not sure if I have a question here, so much as I’m looking to find out I’m not alone in this corner of Chumpdom. I’m talking about family – or lack thereof. I’m in my mid-50’s now. I met my husband when I was 26. He was 35. He had two […]

Of all the hundreds of awesome suggestions last Friday for future columns, the topic of joy stood out. Enough with the gloom and anger, Chump Lady, tell me how I get up again. When am I going to laugh? More connect-the-dots on this Gain a Life thing. More happy. Less stabby. I hear you. In […]

He Left to Join the Circus
Dear Chump Lady I think my friends are getting sick of my rants about my abusive ex and sometimes I just don’t know when my rage and sadness at the unfairness of it all will stop. My incredulity at his awfulness is the gift which keeps on giving. Hard to summarise it all here, but […]
UBT: How to Get Proof They’re Cheating
People send a lot of dumb articles to the Universal Bullshit Translator, so it takes a whole lot of stupid for the UBT to be agog — but this one takes the biscuit. “Here’s how to get definitive proof your partner is cheating” by HuffPo. You’ll never guess what the secret is — YOU ASK […]
Friends Disapprove of Her Divorce
Dear Chump Lady, Plain and simple here is my question. After many, many years of suspecting my husband of adultery, he finally told me after 50 years of marriage that he did cheat. At first he said it was a one-time thing, which after many hours of “discussion“ turned out to be 15 years of […]
