How come no one is talking about what Tiger's wife did to make him want to cheat on her?
It's possible that he's just a freak, but in 99.9% of cases, if one partner cheats, they're both responsible.
And after hearing about what she did to that home in England where they stayed during the British Open (his worst round of golf ever or something), she doesn't exactly seem like a complete victim to me.
So, while I don't think this should even be a news story, how come no one is going on and on about how his wife was a psycho and drove him to cheating on her?

Nice cast though.

Blaming her because he can't keep his dick in his pants is not just unpopular, it's stupid.
I've been around way too many of 'these kids' that make too much and have Waaaaaay Too Much Attention cast on them to assume that she's culpable.
Tigers behavior is big new, and big money for the media reporting on it. Elin might be a sidenote when all the energy wears off from the side action numbers growing.
Until then, most people will wonder what her name is.
People don't tend to just run off with someone else. Ask marriage counselors. What happens is that one of the two wants something that they usually just stop getting. Sometimes it's as simple as the sex dying off in the marriage, so the man eventually gets tired of asking for it and finds it somewhere else. Sometimes, it's that the wife is a nag and the guy wants to be with a woman who treats him like he's not an idiot, so it's for his self-esteem in that regard.
But very, very rarely is it the fault of the one person alone.
Relationships are a two-way street, and it usually takes both sides to screw it up completely.
As for what she did to the house, she caused $15,000 in damage to the house she and Tiger were staying in during the British Open because she threw a fit.
1) Laura Schlessinger and you are in a queer state of agreement (IF YOU TAKE THIS POSITION ON ELIOTT SPITZER TOO).
2) No. Tiger is wholly responsible for his own choices, and there a line of connection between his consequences and his choices.

Tiger is just a golfer.

Divorces happen because men marry women hoping they won't change, and women marry men hoping they will. Neither one happens.
So, from the male perspective, you know as well as I do that many times women will be on their "best behavior" during courting, and then things can change once the ring is on the finger. It's one of the oldest "truths" around. Every comedian in history has talked about it.
So, just making up a scenario (because no one really knows), but what if Tiger's wife changed? He liked her the way she was, obviously, which is why they got married in the first place. If she changed, and she refused to change back, is this still ALL Tiger's fault?
ALL of it?
These are things that lead me to believe he wanted to keep his marriage, but wanted to have what was missing from the marriage from somewhere else.
It's selfish, but it's not mean or evil.
As Jmar said, a wise individual will resolve issues instead of violating the marriage covenant.
go do the right thing,

There is no excuse.
The adulterer, and the adulterer alone is responsible for their actions.
At least she didn't cheat and sleep with other guys and have unprotected sex.
Tigers is gonna have a long road to recovering that golden boy image.
And yamaharider4life01, it's okay to just get a divorce, but not to cheat, right?
So, really, all you have a problem with is the timeline. You don't like that he didn't get a divorce BEFORE doing all this. So, because he did them backward, now it's a problem.
What you don't seem to understand is that the underlying issues that would cause him to dump her are probably just WORSE than the ones that cause him to "just" cheat on her.
And it's a two-way street. If his wife was cheating on him because he's always gone and she's lonely and she tried to work it out with him and he refused to listen, he's at fault just as much as she is.
That's where you and I disagree. There is no good reason to cheat and if you choose the path of infidelity then you are the one that is at fault.
Marriage is a contract of trust.
