1. Shame that, sort of...
Seems to me he should never have married, he should have stayed a playa and had none of the problems like this. Imagine the settlement?

Maybe he can get back to playing golf....

3. Yeah, well, he did his thing, and the waiter just brought the check
It's pretty cut and dried. Whatever Tiger's experiencing, he caused it, and this is nothing more than the wheel turning after he's had his fun.

It's a shame because they have kids and I don't care how you slice it, divorce is never fair to children.

I once dated a divorced woman who distanced me from her kids, and it hurt. I did my best to include them as part of my relationship with their mom.

I finally spoke to her about it and she said "I've been in relationships in the past and I broke up with the man and my kids understood that things didn't work out, but they said "Mom, why did he break up with us?" At the time, her daughter was 8 and her son was 10.

I felt like a heel for even bringing it up, but I finally understood. Kids are caught in the middle when adults are unable to keep a relationship together, and I consider that to be one of life's great tragedies.
