About this listen

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. Full of solid advice that champions self-respect, 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.

This book was exactly what I needed to read. Even though I wasn’t married to my cheater it was still relevant. I laughed and cried with the narrator. It was everything I needed to hear. It reminded me that I get to choose how this chapter of my life defines me and how it will be written. It’s a must read for anyone that was cheated on.

With the tools, insight and encouragement contained in this book, a chump can rid themselves of the cheater and start to gain life free from the abuse. It is a refreshing voice which confronts the ingrained narrative surrounding cheating. Chumps can go from the devastating realisation that they're trauma bonded to their cheater, to the empowering position of leaving, knowing their worth and finding peace in a new life without the manipulation.

A powerful book which has saved many lives!

If you need that push back into reality then this book is a must. The writer's focus is on self help and not self pity. I keep coming back to this on my not so good days and it puts me back on track again. Totally recommend to help "get over it" .

After being with my fiance for 10 years, I could feel the love sadly slipping away. We met at a young age and are still young, I truly loved her and maybe do still- but after this book I can see the other side. Honestly, this Is a must for survivors of infidelity - everyone is an individual and will heal in whatever way suits them, but the advice in this book is so "to the point" that it really is gut wrenchingly beautiful, like my title says: a good punch in the face.

The Author is sassy and unforgiving and the reader reflects that in her tone, truly a calming but ferocious voice. Please listen to this, it will guide you, it will empower you and it will make you feel not so alone.

you will survive

Can’t recommend highly enough!
