Elin Nordegren on Tiger Woods: ‘I’ve been through hell’

[quote]The three key takeaways from Nordegren’s story are:

â?¢ She says she is in no way a violent person, calling any speculation that she swung a golf club at Woods on Thanksgiving night “ridiculous.”

â?¢ She was completely broadsided by the news of Woods’ extramarital affairs, believing that she was the only woman in his life. In short, she was as surprised as most of the rest of the world that the persona Woods put forth â?? dedicated competitor, family man â?? was a carefully constructed sham. “I’m so embarassed that I never suspected [his affairs] â?? not a one,” she said.

â?¢ In line with that, she said she believed fully that her relationship with Woods was a real marriage, not an act orchestrated for cameras and sponsors. “The word betrayal is just not strong enough,” she told People. “I have been through the stages of disbelief and shock to anger and ultimately grief over the loss of the family I so badly wanted for my children.” [/quote]

Has she really been through hell? This woman is now carrying more cash in her wallet than most states in this country yet she’s been through hell?

Are you fucking kidding me?

This right here is why marriage is not worth the effort if you happen to be a celebrity…or hell, even just someone who has something to lose in a divorce. It isn’t that she just speaks out about an affair, but more that she spends so much time dragging Tiger’s name further through the mud (if that’s possible) by acting like his life is all a sham.

Just a question to you guys who got married…if it ever went south, would your girl be out to destroy you?

If so, it it worth it?

Been divorced and remarried. All people man or woman who have been scorned will hold a grudge and try for revenge in my opinion. I caught my X cheating, but we had kids together so I stayed longer than I should. I hated that woman for many years because of it. Destroy her never crossed my mind.
As a man I was not complete and fulfilled until I met and married my wife of today. She is a self made Nurse Practitioner like myself and a teenage parent like myself. So if we ever ended, we just would go our own way and never contact each other.
But I thought the same thing about this article, “through Hell” really. Just shows how “special snowflake” this woman has been all her life if this is her concept of “Hell”.

this is hell

Worth it? I don’t know, never been there.

Personally I think the institution of marriage is a sham and makes no sense whatsoever, so the 51% divorce rate in this country is just giving me further validation of that opinion.

It comes off that the case you’re making here is that big bucks can resolve emotional issues.

When integrity and trust are destroyed and the person you married and love ends up being someone else, it’s emotionally devestaing and not easy to buy away or brush off.

Tiger violated the rules of marriage, now he suffers the consequences. Nothing surprising here, but somehow you find the villian in all of this to be his ex wife.

If you live your entire life in the pursuit of protecting your possessions, don’t be surprised if those possessions are all you end up with. Sounds like a huge price to pay just to avoid the many benefits of marriage.

For God’s sake, the woman’s world just got turned upside down and you don’t think it’s been hell for her? She loved her husband, she may have never questioned his heart or his fidelity and suddenly she finds out he has multiple CURRENT mistresses! Some of you people have a serious lack of ability to empathize with others.

She’s already used to the wealth and that’s a given one way or another, so no, she never had a reaction like “Ooooooh I’m gonna get so much out of this”. Maybe later she made a decision to maximize what she could get out of it, but initially, when all hell was breaking loose, that was the last thing on her mind.

To your question, I’m almost sure my 18 year relationship will never go south. If it does, I’m as sure as I can be my wife won’t try to destroy me. She’s too good of a person and she holds our children’s well being as her highest priority. She would never spite me if there was any chance it would hurt them. I feel the same way.

I have a lot of friends working pretty high up in the entertainment industry, not just performers like actors and singers, but behind the scenes people too like producers and entrepeneurs who own their own Production companies. These people are YOLKED with cash and all have prenumps or not even married.

Any chance any of them would like to donate some of that cash to a good cause? Namely my bank account? Err I mean so I can quit my job and work at a homeless shelter and take care of poor people? Tell them to do the right thing.

It doesn’t spoil it for me though. I would still get married. HOWEVER, theres no way in hell I wouldn’t get the legal stuff done.

I mean look at Paul McCartney and his situation. Did his ex tour with the Beatles and come up with all that cash with her own blood, Sweat and Tears? Then how the F**K should she be able to claim half his worth?

I get very heated on subjects like this because to me it’s just not fair. I think money made before marriage should not be included in divorce money AT ALL. And also the money made when the marriage was official should be the pool where the Husband OR Wife gives the spouse money from.

I also think of that pool the least amount of money that should be alotted should be 20% or the spouses discretion, just not below 20%.

I think it’s selfish to want to claim someone’s worth just because you got married to them. Some men spend 4-6 years married to a woman just to find out that when that time period was up, their spouse was just holding out for divorce cash. It makes people afluent with various wealth hard-pressed to find geniune love.

Its also why celebrities and rich people only date other celebrities and rich people. It’s just easier that way.

If I was Tiger Woods…I’d give her like 30 million. Why in Sam hell would you give her more unless you wanted to?

12

Don’t feel bad for hot little richy bitch.

She’ll be just fine and banging some Euro oil tycoon heir in T minus 6 months.

13

Celebrity marriages are fucked from the start. Everything is in the public eye so ego and pride come into play way more than they can or should in a healthy relationship. People will accept and forgive things that are private much more readily than if someone else knows about it, much less the whole world.

I’m not saying that this should be a forgiveable offense. He was living two different lives. The amount of deceit that must go into that is staggering.

14

Tiger thru the dice and lost. I have to give her the benefit of the doubt. She loved him he fucked around, got busted and now he is paying what is due. In the long run this will be good for both of them.

She can go on with her life and when you consider the stress this must have put on tiger ducking an dodging to get some side ass. And golf is a game more than any other that you need a calm clear head. Getting pumped up full of stressful adrenalin does not help his game.

So he is free, clear mind Fuck all he wants. PGA watching

While I empathize with Elin in some form(dude had 13+ mistresses…), she comes off as very cold towards Tiger’s emotions. The line about everything being a corporate play for his sponsors has to cut pretty deep in light of pretty much everything Tiger has done since shit broke out. I’m not saying she shouldn’t be mad at him for cheating, but does that really discount what appears to be legitimate caring for their children on Tiger’s part?

I’m not saying she has no right to be mad or anything, but damn she really went at it where it will definitely hurt most.

17

Also mention the fact she was embarrassed WORLDWIDE by this… I read a report he had sex with 121 women during their marriage. Even if that isn’t true it still makes her look absolutely horrible not to mention stupidly clueless.

I think that’s pretty bad.

I do feel for her tho. What Tiger did to her is truly hurtfull. I think infedelity is one of the hardest things to forgive in a relationship.

I think it’s odd how a woman will immediately recognize something is amiss when infedelity is uprooted, but will stick with a man in a relationship and continue to forgive him when he is violent with her.

Women need to take an infedelity approach to violent relationships and put a fork in them. If you’re with someone and you can’t help but hit them, you do not need to be in that relationship.

Something tells me money isn’t the most important thing in life to her, being as though she is pursuing a degree in psychology even though she is filthy rich.
