Tiger is totally and utterly at fault?

Yes. Your wife not traveling with you while you are on tour IS NOT AN EXCUSE TO CHEAT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
Sorry to yell, but your continued opining as you have leads me to believe it was necessary.
If a wife is not there for her husband; he will find someone else who will be. Girlfriend, hooker, co-worker, stranger in a bar. That's a fact of life, like it or not. Elin opted to not be with her husband, a husband who is young, athletic, rich, famous and attractive (doesn't do a thing for me, but I'm a straight man).
If she won't be there for him, for love, companionship and sharing ... apparently you, and she both expect your husbands to accept his role as a possession and simply 'deal with it'. Welcome to planet Earth. Expect to have your heart broken.
I'm afraid that if you think this tract is what is going to happen in the 'real world'; then you are both gravely mistaken, and have set yourself up for a lot of heartache. Men have needs, and if you are unwilling to fulfill his needs - expect him to find someone else who will. This is exponentially true if he is rich, young, attractive and famous.
And yet, according to the Journal of Couple and Relationship Therapy, approximately 50 percent married women and 60 percent of married men will have an extramarital affair at some time in their marriage.
So, scream and shout all you like, but it is you (not I) that is refusing to accept reality.
It is pointless to argue with some people. Really and truly a waste of time and breath.
