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.

If you […]
More Stupid Shit Cheaters Say
