*blue balls not included.
By now, the entire world over is aware of (and probably exhausted with) the Tiger Woods’ scandal. While most held Tiger in some high regard (as if he were above CHEATING on his wife), is it really all that surprising that an always-traveling, multi-million-dollar-worth professional athlete had marriage problems?
I’ve been wanting to weigh in on this situation for a while.
Tiger’s problems go beyond that of a self-help or relationships problem-solving book. The media swirls and gossips around those who are unfaithful or the spurned spouse of infidelity. Especially with athletes there are frequent bouts of separation and temptation. There is loneliness and anger as a result. There are disagreements. There are fights that cannot be discharged with the swing of a golf club. Ahem.
Whether his wife beat the crap out of him or not, clearly there was more than Tiger’s propensity for varied sex partners and an affliction of dishonorable intentions — this marriage seemingly lacks communication and direction. Any outsider can surmise that an onset of negative emotions creates another, then more drama, and further continues into a descent of hate-filled rage. And, well, if you ask, me cheating is inevitable.
Problem solved: send him to rehab.
Am I the only one who feels this move is more media and sponsor-driven than to actually HELP him and his spouse? More than the surface cheating guise needs fixing, and more than a required stint in rehab for… ahem, those who cannot keep it in his pants is mandatory. Both husband AND wife need a marriage retreat — a boot camp for couples, if you will. It is obvious that there is much more than a sex addiction at work destroying this family.
You know, unless neither has a desire to fix the strained marriage. And why, then, do we need these media events to explain anything?
How do you solve problems in your marriage/relationship? Is “fixing things” only the responsibility of the guilty party? Do you think couples therapy and similar retreats/rehab aid in repairing broken relationships? Or by then, is it too late?

This blog is about pursuit: a transplanted Clevelander (me) in a new city (that's you, Pittsburgh!), pursuing the role of a self-employed copywriter, becoming a roller derby badass and somehow merging all my to-do items into one ever-growing Bucket List.
And of MY boyfriend. His blue balls started this mess.
