Wrong guess. I’ll repeat it again.

This was 100% predictable, and perhaps 15% preventable.

Was Tiger in the wrong? Yup, he was. But a portion of the fault also lies with his wife. Have you ever met a couple who divorced, in which there was not some blame to be place on both parties? So, if Tiger is 100% responsible, then Elin bears no responsibility in this train-wreck at all. I think that a portion (granted, a small portion) of the fault lies with Elin.

I don’t accept that. Why was he cheating? We know that he was often gone for months at a time, alone in a resort. Now, with his net worth - don’t tell me that Elin couldn’t afford a plane ticket. Why was she content to ignore him?

It’s no surprize that the public knows he is wealthy, young, attractive and left to be by himself for extended periods of time. So, yell at me if you like; but the studies I have shown bear my statements out pretty much 100%, as does the good Dr. Laura.

If Elin won’t be a wife to her husband; then he WILL find someone (or a group of someones) who will. And again, this is exponentially true for the rich and famous. He had to make no effort to look for company, I think we both know that it would be freely offered, on pretty much a daily basis.

Now, ask yourself - if you had $450 Million in the bank; and you had to be in Hawaii for a month for business; would you have your wife join you?

OK. Perhaps we’re both so intent on making our own point that we are talking past each other.

You want to focus on Elin and what she has or has not done. Fine. Then do the research to determine how many times she did travel with him (she most certainly has on a number of occasions), and not just opine as you have, that she has chosen not to be a wife to him. You are assuming facts not in evidence, to quote a phrase.

My focus has been solely on Tiger. Sure. Guys with little or no integrity will cheat on their wives. The numbers do not surprise me, as they really are nothing new. People cheat. But Tiger clearly lacks integrity, and that is not on Elin.

Tiger is 100%, completely, and solely responsible for the choices he makes. Elin available for sex or no, Tiger is responsible for his actions. Taking the light off of him and his choices just provides him (incredibly weak) cover.

I take some issue with your comparison of divorce to cheating. In a marriage relationship, I agree that it is rarely one person totally responsible for the breakup of the marriage when it does break up. But we’re not talking about divorce. Sex, outside of the marriage bed, is an entirely different animal, as he had to violate his wedding vows to make it happen. Elin had no part in that decision. It relates to Tiger’s cheating, he had choices, and he chose to violate his wedding vows. That is 100% on him.
