TIGER'S NOT OUT OF THE WOODS YET

look, we are all joking around and making our opinionated statements but to say our views are not conservative is just wrong. As a conservative mother, if my husband had endangered my life (yes from the number of women he's been with and the plethora of STD's out there, he endangered her life), ruined our marriage and caused emotional harm to my children, I would be so angry I would be doing whatever I had to do to protect my children. As a mother, that is my job - to keep them safe both physically and emotionally.

You obviously look at it from another angle - fine - but please don't assume my view isn't conservative. I never said he should be living on a street corner begging for money - he earned the money but she is his wife and mother of his children - just as many women are stay at home moms - their job was to raise the children and provide a home for them, as a family. Sure Elin has a little easier time of that with the wealth - I don't have servants and nannys - but my job involves making everything run in this household so my husband can relax when he is not working - he doesn't view his income as his - it is ours.

We will see how this all plays out - I don't think Tiger's career is over - but his reputation will never be the same. He will get to see his kids, when he can fit them in between bimbos.

When Mama ain’t happy...ain’t nobody happy.

Hahahahaha if you believe that you must have voted for Obama.

Let me play role reversal with you shall we...

If a pretty blond white chick was laying on the ground beaten and bloodied with a black man standing over her with a golf club, and telling some story about breaking a window to get her out, while she’s bleeding from a head wound that just happens to match the 9 iron in your hand... you think he wouldn’t have been cuffed and in the back of a squad car inside of 0 minutes?

Please. There is no doubt in my mind what she was using that golf club for and why Tiger tried to get away from it.

Tiger is a louse, but the idea this woman is a saint is laughable. She was clearly wronged and humiliated but she also is well known for her temper and their fights, long before this incident.

Emotional Harm? What emotional harm, these kids are too young to know anything more than mommy is mad at daddy, and that’s at best what the older of the two MIGHT be able to grasp, beyond that, they were not emotionally harmed.

Now, keeping them from seeing their father out of petty anger and spite, that is emotionally wrong. Like it or not, he is their father, and in spite of how much of a horndog and louse you or I or anyone else may find Tiger to be accusing him of emotional abuse of his kids is rediculous.

The biggest losers in nearly every divorce are the kids, and clearly these two are going to be nothing but pawns in this game and its despicable and wrong for her to do that, no matter how wronged she may feel.

If a man treats his wife the way he has, how does he treat his children?

Regarding Tiger, Elin, and the Golf Club:

If someone (even a family member) starts trying seriously to beat me with a golf club ... or actually succeeds in landing one or more blows with said club

a) I'm going to shoot him/her

b) I'm going to get no-billed, if it gets that far.

Assault with a deadly weapon is a felony, and legitimate grounds for self defense with lethal force. Elin is lucky she isn't dead or in prison ...

I agree. While not excusing Tiger’s behavior. I find it curious that there are always numerous posts about Tiger’s mental health and never a word about the mental health of someone who would get so violent as to cause so much physical damage to someone. Sounds like a lot of toxicity on both sides.

Tiger was snoozing in the street. He was not unconscious.

Har!!

I’m all for the value of stay at home moms. In this case, she’s very rich and even the “paltry” millions she would get under the prenup would make her wealthy, along with huge child support.

And if they do divorce, do you think she’s going to marry a truck driver next time? You’ve seen her, plus she’s famous and was married to a billiuonaire. I think she’s going to do quite well for herself.

If she hadn’t gotten physical, she would deserve only sympathy for what we know about this situation. I really don’t like the attitude that physical violence bya woman is ok if she was wronged.

When this type of “heat of passion” defense was accepted, it was used by jealous husbands who shot their wives. No one should be in favor of bringing that back. Your husband cheats on you, divorce him or work it out. You don’t get a freebie physical assault.

Just my thoughts.

Been there and have had it done to me. Ironically the actions destroyed the relationship between my son and his mom. I got custody when he turned 12.

Yep, I've seen that happen.

Matthew 19:5-6 (Douay-Rheims)
For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they two shall be in one flesh.

Therefore now they are not two, but one flesh. That therefore God hath joined together, let no man put asunder.

Seems like a hard call to split not two, but one flesh!

If she stays with him, she’s an idiot. Knowing my husband had been with as many women as Woods has would kill any love I had for him. It’s just gross. It shows how little respect he has for his wife, their marriage, his children and his family. Money would be no consideration whatsoever for me.

I can understand what you say, but if he had just one woman, it might be considered affection for her. He had many, so it was probably just the sex.

I have heard that some people are burdened with the constant desire for sex and treat it like an addiction. Could be, I don't know.

I pray that they both find peace and do the right thing by each other and their children.
