A Cease and Desist on Common Sense?

Let's chit chat a bit.

I have no vested interest in what happens with Tiger's wood, no reason to. The private lives of public figures are not a source of entertainment for me (with the exception of a few well-timed jokes. No harm, no foul...) .

However, I've heard some of the same illogical words of quasi justification flow out the mouths of the ever increasing line of mattresses...ooops, I mean mistresses. This commentary is not about Tiger not being able to keep his loins in check, nor is it about the overwhelming emotions Elin must be going through; nope, it's about checking common sense at the door for a path of disappointment and a "broken heart". Although, I'll never understand nor empathize how a participant in an adulterous "relationship" can expect anything other than eventual disappointment.

She’s heartbroken, huh? Yeah, ok…




For anyone to believe the rendezvous were anything but a string of one night stands boggles my mind. Why Woods chose to extend these indiscretions for a lengthy period of time is yet another story, one only he truly knows the answer to.

Infidelity spans across class, race and economic background, yet there are a few commonalities that just can't be ignored. As a matter of fact, I wrote about these following the tragic deaths of Steve McNair and the "other woman". I guess the tigresses didn't take time to read my post, so let's do a quick recap...

~ NO man in his right mind will divorce if you’re the readily available side piece...plain and simple. Throw in a lucrative career with all the trimmings of fame and fortune, and you may as well accept the “relationship” for what it is…. adultery, philandering, an affair…plain ol’ cheating.
[Update above applies here too.]

~ He met your family….yeah, and….nothing more than a pacifier also. He has nothing to lose by meeting your folks, he’s already lying to his own family so why put too much emphasis on this.

~ You will remain the side piece until one of three things happens 1) his wife finds out and decides she'd rather take half and the house (and a #9 iron to his head) , 2) he gets bored and finds another wifey or 3) you wise up and move on (hint, friggin' hint!).

~ Participating in infidelity is bound to pay you back in a special way. It may not happen immediately, but I'm willing to bet somewhere along the line you'll experience the same hurt and embarrassment inflicted on his wife. A little taste of your own medicine...


This is all the precious blog real estate I'll use on this specific chain of events. No one can speak to the reasons Woods was living a double life without assuming, so let's look at the other side. I know what I'd say, but what advice would you give a female friend who got "caught up" in this type of situation? Would the reaction be the same if this took place between a woman and her boy toy? Is "how" just as important to ask as "why"?
