>> Do I really understand you to say that it’s ok for a man to have sex with someone other than his wife because she is not there? Yikes, does your wife know you feel this way? Interesting but wrong.
I don’t think this necessarily applies to Tiger’s case ... but, in principle, I think I agree with him somewhat.
If I’m reading his post correctly, I don’t think he’s saying “its ok for a man to have sex with someone other than his wife because she’s not there.” A man is solely responsible for controlling himself, regardless of action or inaction from his wife.
My reading of his post is, even though the cheating man is fully reponsible for his actions, choices and lack of self-control — the wife of a cheating man may not be entirely blameless in the situation.
A good strong husband will not stray no matter whether the wife puts out with any regularity. A sleazeball will stray every time regardless of how often the wife is available. But, the middle-ground, weak non-sleazeballs are more likely to stray if a wife is perpetually unavailable.
My guess, however, is that Tiger is a run-of-the-mill narcissistic sleaze ... and that if his wife had traveled with him with a stripper pole in tow, he’d still have cheated at every opportunity.

That is not what the poster said. If it’s what he meant he should say so.
