SynopsisLeave a Cheater, Gain a Life is a no-nonsense guide for anyone who has ever been cheated on and needs advice not based on saving their relationship after infidelity--but saving their sanity. In the infidelity literature, cheaters get all the attention--their sad unmet needs, their boundary issues and challenges with monogamy, and their relationship drama with their love triangles. Cheaters are glamorous taboo breakers, star-crossed lovers, rebels against the hegemonic forces of monogamy. The chump, on the other hand, stands alone, off-stage, and when mentioned in the infidelity literature, it's to discuss their frailties and failings, how they must "own their part" in their partner's infidelity or how they must accommodate the cheater. Leave a Cheater, Gain a Life , by contrast, is a book for the-cheated-upon (chumps), written by a former chump. It's a resource that doesn't assume reconciliation and doesn't buy the notion that we compel people to cheat on us by our inadequacies (or can win them back by being nicer). Instead it puts responsibility for affairs squarely on cheaters and their crappy character. It also has a good time lampooning the absurd narcissism of cheating and satirizing the pomposity of cheaters with amusing cartoons. Based on the writings of Tracy Schorn's popular infidelity blog ChumpLady.com, Schorn offers a fresh voice in the infidelity space for chumps who want (and need) a new message by learning how to decode manipulation, champion self-respect, and focus on gaining a life after betrayal., Leave a Cheater, Gain a Life is a no-nonsense self-help guide for anyone who has ever been cheated on. Here's advice not based on saving your relationship after infidelity -- but saving your sanity. When it comes to cheating, a lot of the attention is focused on cheaters -- their unmet needs or their challenges with monogamy. But Tracy Schorn (aka Chump Lady) lampoons such blameshifting and puts the focus squarely on the-cheated-upon (chumps) and their needs. Combining solid advice that champions self-respect, along with hilarious cartoons satirizing the pomposity of cheaters, Leave a Cheater, Gain a Life offers a fresh voice for chumps who want (and need) a new message about infidelity. This book will offer advice on Stupid sh*t cheaters say and how to respond, Rookie mistakes of the recently chumped and how to disarm your fears, Why chumps take the blame and how to protect yourself, and more. Full of snark, sass, and real wisdom about how to bounce back after the gut blow of betrayal, Schorn is the friend who guides you through this nightmare and gives you hope for a better life ahead., Leave a Cheater, Gain a Life is a no-nonsense self-help guide for anyone who has ever been cheated on.

  • Best book about surviving cheating and NOT staying together.

    This is simply the best book to help when you have been cheated on. It adds humor and the best insight to this awful situation for a man or a woman. I highlighted a lot of it and I have re -read these areas a bit every night for months. It has helped me endlessly to cope with this situation. Be warned , the author swears a lot. This book is helping to save me, really. Buy it you won’t regret it.

  • THE ABSOLUTE BEST BOOK I EVER BOUGHT SINCE BEING CHEATED ON AND BETRAYED!

    The absolute best book I bought for people that have been betrayed and cheated on. Chump Lady tells it just like it is. I love how straight forward she is and gets right to the point, the truth and has no problem speaking the truth. If you can't handle cuss words or the truth don't read it, but you don't know what you are missing. This is a great book to make the betrayer, cheater and infidel-er read too, just remember to read it first and highlight all the really important things you might want the cheater to get through their head and ego......

  • Must read for all who have been betrayed

    This book will open your eyes up to just what you are experiencing. For those who have not experienced this pain, it is probably the best heads up of foretelling what and why your spouse has wandered. I honestly wish no one would ever have to read this book, but we are in a time where feminism demands women to sleep around with no conscious thought given to their spouse.
