So this was submitted to Stupid Shit Cheaters Say this week: “I thought you knew about my romantic and sexual relationships all along and were okay with it!” Which is really a pernicious sort of mindfuckery. Not only are you cheated on, you’re apparently so dimwitted as to have forgotten you consented. Oh right, last […]
Sexy Affair Utterances?
I was pouring through the archives this morning looking for a good rerun today when “Eat Your Pudding” assaulted my eyeballs. Back in 2015, several alert chumps sent me the story about Steve Kroft, the 60 Minutes host having an affair with New York lawyer, Lisan Goines. (As OW names go, this one is Dickensian. […]
UBT: “I Would Like to Have a Final Conversation”
Dear Chump Lady, I am finally filing for divorce (with a 6 month processing time COVID wooo). I want some insight into my ex-spouse’s requests. I have been no contact for 11 months and blocked her 7 months ago, aside from getting the car signed over and getting the divorce application signed. In both situations, […]

Cheating Excuses and Non Sequiturs — ‘It Didn’t Take That Much Time’

Their pollen allergy. Whatever the explanation given, it will be pure nonsense. Nonsense that will PAIN you. And I realize typing this that […]
New Age Cheaterisms
Cheaters seem well-versed in philosophy — the kind of Pinterest-board deep thoughts that can only be expressed by a sunset meme or a basket of kittens. So your Fun Friday Challenge this week is to take a popular New Age-y aphorism like “Live, Love, Laugh” and rewrite it for cheater sensibilities –“Lie, Luv, Litigate.” So what’s your Schmoopie goop speak? If you […]
More Stupid Shit Cheaters Say
I know I have a page for this, but why hasn’t Stupid Shit Cheaters Say been a Friday Challenge? The time has come. When I started this place, I naively thought I would catalog the crazy. More naively, I thought I would draw it. I had no idea I would get literally thousands of submissions, […]
