Dear Bitter Butch: What if My Husband is in Love with Another Woman?

April 28, 2016 by Haddayr Copley-Woods 1 Comment

Dear Bitter Butch, How do I ask my spouse of 15 years if he has fallen in love with someone else? Specifically I think he has fallen in love with a pretty, together, and much-younger woman at work. Let’s call her Hannah. I don’t think the feelings are reciprocated. In fact, I think my husband…

October 8, 2015 by Haddayr Copley-Woods 3 Comments

Dear Bitter Butch, My brother has two children – a 7-year-old boy and 6-year-old girl. His wife is CATHOLIC – in all caps.

Dear Bitter Butch: Who Helps the Helper?
