Dear Chump Lady My husband cheated on me, I didn’t find out through his phone (he doesn’t have one, he doesn’t like them). Didn’t find out though his laptop, (again doesn’t have one of those either). I found out though him. He was feeling guilty, so he told me, his version of it, which after […]
Esther Wants to Help You Grieve
Celebrity shrink, Esther Perel, who I’ve pilloried here many times, has been on a reinvention campaign of late. First she declared herself an “executive coach“, now during this pandemic, Esther would like to be our grief counselor. Being the world’s most well-known cheater apologist probably isn’t a good look right now. That’s okay, because Esther has many […]
UBT: “Will Our Affair Survive the Lockdown?”
A few bazillion of you sent the Universal Bullshit Translator the Guardian’s “I’m involved with a married man.

I’m a lesbian, we have been together 13 years, we have one small child that we created together, and four kids I already had from a previous marriage. She cheated on me the first time back in 2008, right after our wedding ceremony, when she […]
When This Crisis Is Over, I’m Gonna…
As I like to say around here a lot — “the pain is finite.” The problem with most pain is, however, that you don’t know its duration when you’re smack in the middle of it. It feels endless. Will normal ever be normal again? Yes, I’m awkwardly segueing to the coronavirus. How is everyone holding […]
Coronavirus and Co-Parenting with Fuckwits
Hello Chump Lady, I was married for 17 years, together 19. Left him in 2015, divorced 2016. I lived with him in a very remote place in rural coastal Alaska, to a small town southwest of here. I left because his job is the health care worker in a small native village no way I […]
