Yes, REALLY. Frankly, if my husband cheated, I wouldn't even need to know who it was with. It would not matter if it was with a woman at work or a woman in my neighborhood. It doesn't matter WHO he cheated with because those women are nothing to me. What would matter to me is that HE had a choice and HE chose to be unfaithful to me in spite of the vows that HE made to me. The other woman just doesn't matter.

Not sure what you meant about that reference to a "different page in the book of life".

I am pretty sure that if my husband cheated, I would want to know everything about the woman. I would FIND OUT who she was! What did she have I didnt? What did she do that I didn't? It would never cross my mind that "he didnt keep it in his pants." I would still very much LOVE him (even though I was mad and hurt) but I would want to claw the eyes out of the other woman.

Pretty sure others would feel the same if they were honest with themselves!

Oh I know you weren't. I was speaking generally, didn't mean to insinuate you were judging anyone. Sorry if it came across that way.

Have you ever heard of the saying, 'we're just on a different page'?? You said that we will have to agree to disgree....basically, same thing.

As for not wanting to know who the other woman is....that wasn't the point. But nevermind.

eh....I'm tired of hearing about Tiger Woods. Lousy husband, lousy role model, good golfer. I wish the media would stay out of the lives of celebrities when stuff like this goes down. I can't even IMAGINE how I would feel if my husband did that and it was all over the media. Sometimes they need to learn when to back off and let families take care of their problems in private.

[BaxtersMommy]

I agree. The public is cruel. I can't stand what the media does. But, It will probabaly be like this till the end of time. People just have no respect and they get something out of seeing someone else hurt or miserable.

There was just one thing I disagreed with.....He is the BEST golfer. This doesnt change what he has accomplished for the game, he is the greatest!

It's not the job of celebrities to shape the morals of kids! Celebs provide more than enough proof that they are not who you want your kids looking up too.

Granted, I'm disappointed by what has come to surface regarding the situation with Tiger Woods, but I'm even more disgusted by the fact that the general public feels like it's their right to have all the details divulged to them. I feel sorry for his wife for having to deal with such a horrible situation and I feel even worse for her knowing that she's having to deal with it in the public spotlight...all because there are people who find 'entertainment' in what transpires in the personal lives of others.

Exactly! I could care less what these people do. I honestly do not understand the fascination the public has with these things.

I feel so sorry for his wife and babies, heard they went back to Sweden. I bet his endorsments will start dropping him, I heard Gatoraide is discontinuing the Tiger Line of Sports drinks. Good for them.

All husbands and wives take the same vows. And, once they have children, they should be role models.
I don't know the percentage of husbands and wives who cheat, but I know it is very high. If we took their jobs away from them, there would be a lot of hungry people in this world!

[BaxtersMommy]

The Tiger Gatorade has been over. That ending had nothing to do with his affairs. Nike said they arent pulling him. In my opinion they hired him to endorse because of his golfing ability, not his ability to be a husband or father. So, I think it would be biased to pull his endorsements. What if she cheated? Would he deserve to be dropped because he was a part of a scandal involving his wife.

I just think his Game and this affair are 2 different things. (doesnt mean what I think is right, it just doesnt have anything to do with Golf)

You are being too hard on yourself. If your husband cheated, why would you automatically assume that YOU failed in some way or lacked something? Your reaction is not unusual, by the way. Why do women do this???? What is this self-loathing that women have? THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU!

And why are women so quick to hold a grudge against another woman, a woman she may not even know, and yet forgive the man who is supposed to love and honor her???.


look at it this way....if you clawed out the eyes of the other woman, would that make things better between you and your husband? Of course not. Because the problem is not the other woman--the problem is your husband.
He will just find someone else to cheat with.

Men are not stupid, nor are they defenseless against the wiles of an attractive, seductive woman. I think some men would like women to think this, because it takes away their accountability, and puts all the fault on the evil temptresses....women. If a man cheats, he is doing it because he has chosen to do so. Plain and simple.

fyi, this does not mean I think women should go out and have affairs with married men. I would never recommend that because it is a waste of time, and very rarely do such relationships lead to committed, stable relationships. The woman usually gets hurt and feels used, and the man is not available to be with her when she might really need him to help through a tough time, etc. AND a man who will cheat on his wife will later cheat on his mistress. Rule of thumb: Once a cheater, always a cheater.

I've been following this thread and just wanted to say... A few of you say you're tired of hearing about it or you could care less or hate how the media is so crazy, etc, but we are on page 4 of this thread. People just like to gossip. Like when the Kanye thing happened we had a thread here about him too. Celeb news/rumors is a guilty pleasure of mine. I take it as pure entertainment and that's it. I don't read into any more than that. Yes I know it's someone actual life, but they are celebrities, comes with the territory. I always said it would suck big time if I were famous. Good thing i'm not.

And Elin is so gorgeous too, I feel so bad for her.

Totally agree.

I am one of the few who agree with you on this stance. People often ask me why I let my bf go out without me, or go hang out with female friends who I may or may not know. the reason is b/c why should I be jealous of those other girls? Why should I be jealous of someone who is lesser than I? Why would I get mad my bf is hanging out with a girl when I know he has no intention of wrong doing? The extra female attention is good for his ego I think. He knows where the line is, but truth is, the happier he is, the happier I am.

Yeah...but the majority of the posts have not exactly been about "him"...it's been more of a 'what would you do in this situation' and 'who would be to blame' type thing...

If a woman have done the same , you would have shout your mouth and placed the history under the rug.
