Unattractive. Old. Not enough. How many of us have felt like that? I certainly have. Finding out the man I’d believed to be my soul mate and partner for life was in love with a girl almost the same age as our son shattered my confidence. Continue reading How Humor Boosts Confidence →

Are Infidelity Surveys Worthless?

Adultery, Infidelity, Social Commentary

So say you’re having a secret affair, squeezed into your busy schedule as you juggle your family life with illicit interludes. What would you rather be doing—having torrid sex with your lover or filling out a survey about it? You could always do the survey during family time—just make sure that your spouse isn’t looking over your shoulder. Continue reading Are Infidelity Surveys Worthless? →

Christmas Gifts for an Unfaithful Ex 2022

Adultery, Comedy, Infidelity

This year’s gifts are hypocritical, vulgar, inconsistent with my mission message and politically incorrect. But as I once heard Love Without End author Glenda Green say, “politically correct” is always political and rarely correct. Yes, I know that the mantra of my comic self-help book, Adulterer’s Wife: How to Thrive Whether You Stay or Not, is that the best revenge is to get past the need for it, but at least for my annual Christmas gift list, humor trumps platitudes. Continue reading Christmas Gifts for an Unfaithful Ex 2022 →

Looking for a powerful, influential man to marry? Do you want a guy with a warlike disposition and a lot of balls? How about someone bare-chested who can wrestle a bear? How virile is that? Russian President Vladimir Putin has officially been single since 2014, when his divorce from Lyudmila, his wife of 30 years, was finalized. Prior to her marriage, she was an Aeroflot flight attendant. Continue reading Putin the Stud and Polonium Tea →

Christmas Gifts for an Unfaithful Ex 2021

Infidelity

Yes, I’m a hypocrite and inconsistent. In the last four years I’ve compiled a list of spoof Christmas gifts for a cheating ex, I haven’t included links to get any of the items. The mantra of my book, Adulterer’s Wife: How to Thrive Whether You Stay or Not, is that the best revenge is to get past the need for it, so I didn’t want to encourage anyone’s vengeful instincts. Now, by popular demand I’m including links to buy any items that are readily available. Some people told me they wanted to get things I mentioned in my previous 2020, 2019, 2018 and 2016 lists for friends, relatives and existing partners. There was a worldwide shortage of unfaithful exes in in 2017, so I never compiled a Christmas list for that year. Actually, I’m lying about that—I just dropped the ball.

Adultery, Breast Cancer, Divorce, Infidelity, Revenge

Finding a damning text message on my husband's phoneMy eyes were so blurred with tears, I could barely read the text on the computer screen. I was checking the final corrections to my husband’s latest book. A tear dripped onto my handwritten notes, smudging the ink. Our office manager sat beside me. I blew my nose and told him I was suffering from terrible pollen allergies. Continue reading Forgiving Infidelity: Better after Betrayal →
