Tiger Woods hangs his head in shame
Updated:
Click here to watch the full apology courtesy of Worldstar Hip Hop.
Disgraced golfing champ Tiger Woods apologized profusely to his wife Elin Nordegren-Woods, his mother and his children for his self described “irresponsible behavior”.
Speaking before a room of hand picked journalists at a country club in Windemere, Florida, Woods said his wife Elin never hit him the day before Thanksgiving, and there has never been an instance of domestic violence in his home.
“I understand that people want to know if Elin and I will remain together… but it is a matter between Elin and me,” he said.
Woods also asked the paparazzi to stop pursuing his two-year-old daughter and wife around Orlando.
He expressed a renewed interest in Buddhism, his religious faith, and he denied a reliance on performance enhancing drugs. Woods said he would return to the so-called sex rehab therapy tomorrow.
He said he didn’t know when he would return to golfing and he couldn’t rule out returning to the links this year. He also thanked his fans, the PGA director, the players and his friends for their support and for believing in him.
Woods begged his fans to find room in their hearts to, “one day believe in me again.” He did not take any questions from the assembled media.
Tiger’ mom Kultilda Woods was present but his wife Elin was not
A Tiger Woods jump off, a porn star represented by Gloria Allred, held a press conference at the same time as Woods’ conference to say that Woods should apologize to her for making her fall in love with him. She said she did not intend to sue Woods.

Tiger you did not owe me anything but if its forgiveness you want then you have it from me
Yawn! He wants people to leave his family alone, yet he goes on a new conference.
What was the point of this?
Next!!
This is so pointless. He don’t owe anyone an apologize except Elin and his kids. WTF f**king gotta do with golfing???
I believe Elin will pull a Vanessa Bryant and stand by her man! She will not be the first, or the last!
Let the church say…AMEN!
Now time to let Tiger move forward…
Tiger, nobody was checking for your apology.. You e’fd up.. Your only human..
NEXT >>>
Daisy I agree with you…He doesn’t owe us anything. If his wife decides to stay in order to make her prenup a little bit healthier then that is on her. Best wishes to them.
I congratulate him for opening up. I’m not so sure I would have. He is disgraced and it shows…he’s serious about getting back into his faith and I wish him well. None of us is perfect. I think he did a great job and plans to keep the Media out of his personal life as he tries to regain is footing. Good Luck Tiger.
Jump off’s response to Tiger’s new conference coming in 5,4,3,2,1….
LADIES PLEASE LISTEN TO WHAT HE HAD TO SAY
HIS WORDS AND ACTIONS RING VERY TRUE TO MANY CHEATERS
HE DID IT CAUSE HE THOUGHT HE COULD GET AWAY WITH IT, HE FELT ENTITLED, AND FELT HE DIDN’T HAVE TO PLAY BY THE RULES
AND IF HE HAD NOT GOTTEN CAUGHT-I HIGHLY DOUBT HE WOULD HAVE SOUGHT THE TREATMENT HE’S RECEIVING NOR STOPPED CHEATING TO BEGIN WITH
BUT OF COURSE-MANY OF YOU WILL ALWAYS SEEK TO FIND A WAY TO EXCUSE THIS TYPE OF BEHAVIOR
TIGER WOODS IS A CLASSIC CHEATER-AND THE ONLY PERSON ANYONE SHOULD BLAME FOR THEIR SPOUSE INFIDELITY IS THEIR SPOUSE
TIGER WOODS TOOK FULL BLAME FOR HIS ACTIONS-BECAUSE HE IS THE ONLY ONE TO BLAME
AND IF THIS WERE A WOMEN-THERE WOULDN’T EVEN BE A DISCUSSION IF HE SHOULD LEAVE OR STAY -HIS AZZ WOULD HAVE BEEN LONG GONE
SOCIETY HAS TAUGHT SUBMISSIVE WEAK WOMEN VERY WELL-AT ALL COSTS IRREGARDLESS OF YOUR OWN WELL-BEING
“STAND BY YOUR MAN”
THAT IS WHY SO MANY ARE SOO QUICK TO FORGIVE HIM-BUT LET IT BE A WOMAN OR JUST LOOK AT ALL OF YOU WHO ROASTED THE JUMP OFFS
WOMEN ALWAYS QUICKLY FORGIVE THE MAN-JUST TO TAKE HIS AZZ BACK
BUT WILL ALWAYS CARRY HOSTILITY & ANGER TOWARDS A WOMAN THEY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT NOR EVER MET-LOL
GOOD JOB “OLE BOYS CLUB” GOOD JOB!
This conference was needed so people will stop speculating and making up bullshit stories. He also needed to tell his side and better to do it on his own terms.
Stalking his mom, his kids and posting the location of their school was just dead wrong so good for him to put them on blast.
He said, people want to know about specifics in his affairs but that is bwt him and his wife..good for him! Elin & the families are the only ones that deserve an explanation.
I wish him and his wife the best & hope they can overcome this.
Tiger’s hoes in different area codes should be no ones concern but Elin and him
You cross yt and they will bring u down, smh. There was a domestic act of terrorism yesterday and people are more concerned with Tiger #wheretheydothatat?
@LaTech :lolol: You know they will be making media rounds ASAP they started working on their statements yesterday

Exactly and incase people wern’t aware God does forgive cheating, no matter how many YT women get on TV crying like victims

HELL I AINT FUGGIN YOUR MAN-AND IF HE’S CHEATING ON YOU
HE’S TO BLAME NOT ANYONE ELSE
MRS. THOMAS-BIATCHES!
@intense mocha
On that same note. While I don’t condone cheating. Is that really all it takes to break up a family? Your man had sex with someone else so now you take the kids and leave? Why not try to repair what’s broken? This is why the divorce rate today is over 50%. No one wants to fight for anything anymore. Everybody want’s to get all swole in the chest and bail out. Standing by your family does not make you weak.
Ronald Martin said it best “Tiger owe me nothing!” He is right, Tiger is married to Elin, and that is who I would have apologized to. Everybody else could kiss my big glow in the dark azz! Not sure why we are so fascinated with what stars do anyway? They are just like us, only with the millions of dollars. They put their pants on one leg at time, they fart, they go grocery shopping, they screw just like we do. So what’s the big deal! Yes he cheated on his wife, hell regular joes & broke azz niccas do that everyday! Just because I am a celeb, doesn’t mean that you as a fan need to know every detail of my life.
I wonder how would my co worker would feel, if I came to work everyday with a camera and followed her every move, and then posted it on the internet, so sold it to a magazine. Or what if I camped outside her house in a tree waiting to catch a glimpse of her sitting at her kitchen table with her family. What if I ran up on her at the mall and shoved a mic in her face and bombarded her with questions about what she bought and why? That would probably piss her off. I bet that’s how Tiger feels. I would tell them to “Get the FCK outta my face please & thank you btch!”
i think tiger should have never done this…i also think a lot of the detail he shared is only gonna make things worse for him..calling the press liars or his jumpoffs, the buddist esih (did not have to share that), also telling press to leave his family alone..he was actually angry when he said that but he called upon it himself..that is only gonna make them be more up his ass..
anyways dnt care coz this was the most lame and funniest shit i have watched..nigger just play gold and keep it moving!!
I bet the statements that Tiger’s jumpoff’s release are put together better than the one Tameka Foster’s “publicist” released.
@ksmommy05, I kinda agree with you. I don’t think cheating is always grounds for a divorce. There’s nothing wrong with trying to repair a broken marriage. And it doesn’t make a woman weak for staying. Dr. Camille Cosby stayed with Bill despite his infidelities and she’s not a weak woman.
@Kcicero In America….
Tiger work things out with your wife….not the public. Get some more security for your family too. A damn shame how the law allows the media to stalk his family.
Intense, I think you are getting it a bit twisted. Yes, Tiger is to blame for his actions and the women are to blame for their actions. When people cheat they cheat with SOMEONE. What I don’t buy is when a man says he cheated because his wife wasn’t doing such and such at home, no you should have told her and gave her a chance to fix it or tell her you no longer want to be there and leave….anyway but the point I am making is no one is letting him off the hook and blaming the jump-off BOTH parties are equally to blame. For me it is hard to respect someone once they are caught indulging in shady behavior and then still don’t fess up to it. Tiger has fessed up, the jump-offs are still on TV crying like victim. Just tell me how are they not wrong for what they did? Tiger is not the average Joe that could lie and say he is not married or in a bad marriage going thru a divorce. He is very well in the public eye and they KNEW his situation and what they were getting into. Yeah I know some will say he took advantaged because of who he is or they were seduced by his money/fame but again if that is the case what does that say about the women, that any dude with a few $$$ in their bank account or that holds a high position can have them? Yeah Ok. And these women are opportunistic attention wh*res, one was on TV crying saying that she was worried about what her young son would think of her and blah blah blah, well he might not have known had she not ran her a$$ on national TV. When someone is ashamed about what they did and no one knows about it, you then go on national TV for what reason?
Again, I feel that this press conference happened due to pressure from his sponsors and/or PR people. He owes none of us an explanation, but to his family. I must applaud him for first defending his wife, then asking the media to leave his family alone.

Let’s hope not, lol. At this point they should fall back. They’ve had their 15 and the wow factor has worn off.
Question to the married women or those in serious relationship…If you as a woman were to cheat do you think your man would stay and work things out or file for divorce?

Unfortunately there are too many women like this and it needs to stop. This type of attitude enables a man to ignore consequences. But, when you’re raised with the “Boys will be boys mantra”, you think that behavior from a man is normal while allowing yourself to be disrespected.
@ Daisy, are you asking a real question or rhetorical one? The “lol” emoticon threw me off a bit.
@ Daisy….hell-to-the-naw…Men are different then women. I men I know there are men that have stuck by women after cheating, but unfortunately it’s not really in there nature to move forward in such a manner. There ego is usually hurt more then anything.
Daisy that is a very good question. I think that it depends on the person, Some will forgive, but never forget and stay and work it out. Others will probably divorce and head for the heels. I think people have forgotten what marriage is and what it’s about. When you marry it’s for better or for worst. If you aren’t willing to take that ride, then get your azz off the bus! If I love you and I am in love with you ,and you feel the sameway about me, then we should be able to work it out. Communication is key in any relationship. If I am not the freak you want me to be, then tell me. That way I can try and fix it, and I would so the same for you. Going outside the marriage isn’t the answer to what’s wrong with the marriage.
Oh Tiger. They hanging you out to dry like you are the only athlete humpin around. I guess now you realize that just because you play one of their sports and married one of their women that you are NOT one of them. John Edwards went and got him a baby and a whole slew of white, Republican, “Christian” men cheated on their wives with other women AND men but it’s YOU they hung Tiger. YOU!!!
They have him posted up at a podium holding a news conference like he’s the president of the United States….He’s a golfer people!!! *SMH*
and the survey says…. nobody cares
@ Daisy, I have 2 male relatives who stayed with their cheating wives. Both women had to jump through hoops to get the trust back and make the marriage work again.

CH’UCH!! PREACH!! It’s called ‘for better or for worse’. When we take those vows, we can never know what ‘worse’ can or will be.
That was a real question
While I dont think woman are weak who stay and forgive their mate I have always felt that is one of the reasons some men cheat because at the end of the day they know/feel that 99% of women are going to stay esp if it was “only once/just sex” I am not one who blames the other woman or calls them a jump off etc. I think BOTH my mate and the other women would be at fault BUT my ONLY issue would be with my MATE! He took a vow not the other woman.
I dont think the way to uplift women who may need it and have low self esteem is to call them “weak” in my opinion that is not better than a man verbally abusing a woman.
I thank God I have never had low self esteem and always loved me some me and never loved a man more than I love God and myself but that is not the case for everybody else so I would rather encouarge them vs. call them names that they aren’t.
*steps off soapbox*
@Cinderalla I bet they did have to jump through hoops glad it worked out for them
SNL is gonna have a field day Sat night
Oh and I vote that Elin did HIT Tiger that night but he is never going to admit that cause 1) thats his wife 2) he felt he deserved it
Question. what does a wife do who is in love with her husband, there are all indications that he loves her and their family, i.e. he takes care of them in all the ways a husband should then he goes out and have an affair and when said wife finds out says he’s sorry.
@daisy to answer your question
it depends on the type of man you are with. See with men sometimes its a double standard…they cheat they want you to stay…you cheat and your a whore etc and they ready to bounce. I have some other married “associates”(can’t call them friends) who have cheated and their husbands either stayed and worked it out or left.
@intensemocha….i back you 100%…i myself was in a long term relationship…when he cheated i forgave him..well the tables turned when i started seeing someone else briefly…and lets just say he couldn’t get over the fact that I cheated on him…it wasn’t tift for taft…we were on a break!! but he still couldn’t get past the fact that i was with another man! Of course i took full responsiblity..but what happened to stand by ur woman…

*********************************************
all situations are different. i think if he had fallen in love w/someone or had a “moment” w/one person it would be different but this dude is spraying it all over recklessly. that means this is a totally different issue.
some men/women are simply not ready and you cannot MAKE them be ready by remaining married. a bad marriage is a horrible thing for the couple and the kids. my grandparents were in a bad marriage for over 60 years (til death). it did NOTHING for them except lead them to premature death and dysfunction in their kids.

You go Daisy. I absolutely agree.
But to answer the question. When a person is REALLY in love be it male or female they always try to work it out at least once. I am not talking about all the what I woulda, coulda, shoulda’s up in here either. Unless you have been in the situation then people need to stop speaking on it so quickly. I dont know ONE person that has not wanted to believe the best in someone that was just simply no good. It’s not a reflection of you, they are the trifling ones.
When is Swizz Beatz going to rehab and holding his press conference?
Oh okay @ Daisy. I definitely know mine will leave my azz. Because like someone said up top, it’s more of an ego thing. He can’t imagine me allowing someone to enter a place that is sacred and supposed to be reserved for him only. Attheendoftheday, him and I are responsible for keeping our family together and if one messes up by going out there like that then he has the choice to leave. We work hard together as a family and communication is key. I wouldn’t ever think about taking chances of breaking up my family like that. But that’s just us… everyone’s different.
team tiger+elin
Aww Tiger
I still have 
for you!
This is such a personal matter, I really don’t understand why the world feels he owes anybody besides Elin a apology. Im so over this just like the Chris Brown incident. OVER IT!
THIS IS WHAT IS WRONG WITH AMERICA NOW, ALWAYS IN SOMEONE ELSE’S BUSINESS. I DON’T THINK HE SHOULD HAVE MADE A PUBLIC APOLOGY. TIGER AND ELIN STOOD BEFORE GOD AND MADE VOWS, NOT ELIN, TIGER AND AMERICA. ELIN LEAVE TIGER TODAY AND GETS AWARDED HALF OF HIS ASSESTS, HOW MUCH IS THE PUBLIC GOING TO PAY?????? JUST WHAT I THOUGHT,NOT A DAYUM PENNY! HIS APOLOGY SHOULD HAVE BEEN FOR THE PEOPLE WHO WAS DIRECTLY IMPACTED, HIS FAMILY!
People (not just men) cheat because of something lacking within themselves. the cheater often projects or deflects his or her inadequacies onto their mate as a way of not being honest with themselves or dealing with their own insecurities, inadequacies, etc. Open, honest communication is especially difficult for MOST people in relationships because of the desire to please/not hurt the other person. It’s not about being weak if you stay but abour recognizing that EVERYBODY flucks up (continually) and no sin is greater than other (although society tells us different) and if you really love your spouse/mate, then it’s worth hanging in their with them if they’re willing to do the hard work to repair the relationship as well as dealing with their own internal issues that brought them to make the decision to cheat.
I don’t want to write a book but it’s not so black/white when it comes to relationship issues. Each person brings their own values, insecurities, wants/needs/desires into the relationship and no one of us is better or worse than the other…just different. I’ve learned to fully ACCEPT my husband for the man he is right now, in this very moment..not the man I want him to be but for the man God intends for him to be in this moment. We’ve been married eleven years and I’ve learned that marriage, like life, is a JOURNEY. Neither one of us came into it with all the answers or a roadmap to tell us where the forks in the road, bridges and valleys would be located. We deal with each day as it comes and have grown/matured TOGETHER in this relationship. He’s the most beautiful person I’ve ever met in my life and I’m thankful that I am privy to see him mature and change up close and personal. It’s awesome to be a part of something like that and I truly believe that’s how God intended us to love one another…flaws and all.
I don’t know if i expressed it the way it feels but i hope some of yall get what i’m trying to say.
@Al I have never been in that situation(thank the Lord) so I dont know what I would do. I would like to say depending on the situation I would try and work it out but then on the flip side I feel like thats giving him a pass to cheat per say so I know I was just throwing it out there. I know gfriends who stayed and others who left
I pray that Tiger and Elin can work through their problems. Whether they stay together or not is a decision for them to make.
And calling women weak or submissive because they decide to stay with their spouse and work through the tough times is WRONG!! If you don’t know the whole story then state your opinion and keep it moving.
And from the sound of things “SOMEONE WHO ENJOYS CAPS LOCK” will up and leave a relationship quick fast and in a hurry if she doesn’t get her way…damn trying to work through the problems and fighting for what you want…sounds like a quitter

POW!! SPLAT!! KAPOW!! BOOM!!
Noooo…the latest jumpdown needs to apologize to us the American public for wearing that ridiculous wig….
This thirsty ugly how with Gloria Already Dead can go straight to hell. She look like he had to be on some serious street shit to touch that. Get a job Beotch.
Before i start my shift….
tiger doesn’t me any apology. He owed his wife an apology. He needs to do what he needs to do to fix his family…if its fixable
As for the last pic w/ the jumpoff…Gloria Allfred is officially a joke. I mean….wow
I meant Thirsty HOE.
and BTW fit this man with some glasses cause clearly he can not see. Next
Why is the jump-off holding a press conference…STOP…just STOP…she embarrased herself… :confused:
ah them b!tches played themselves big time, i always tell my female friends if a man wants to leave u, forget that bull about jump offs that`s a myth and clearly if tiger leaves his wife, jumpoffs cant take credit for it..best believe, these thirsty chicks are just really angry to have been so used and re-used that they aint even good for recycling no more…….
I know why Elin wasn’t there because she finally realizes she is married to a malignant narcissist. Women who are married to these types suffer in silence for years. It takes something of this magnitude for them to open their eyes and finally realize that they are dealing with a sick man who can never be cured. Trust and believe that Elin has known about his women for years an she put up with his chit because she loved him. But narcissists can’t love anyone — not even themselves. There is no such thing as sexual addiction. Narcissists live for one thing only and that is self gratification through Narcissistic Supply (NS).
Gloria Allread and Jumpoff #17 held a press conference and reporters from The Pennysaver and Thrifty Nickel were the only ones who even bothered to show up.
**borrows Daisy’s soapbox and puts on a kevlar vest (I know how y’all roll)
#53, was that her conservative look?
IMO-Toger only cheated on his wofe with one of those women and the rest of them don’t count. The one he cared for and the only one who hasn’t joined the stampede to railroad him. (I think it’s Rachel) TO ME, cheating is when you establish a relationship outside of “home” and that relationship is borne of real emotion and not just lust. I am of the firm belief that busting down a random person is forgiveable, but car notes and mortgages, meeting the family and taking responsibility for her financial situation (not a new bag here and there or hairdo) indicate a second marriage if you will and that’s when you need to reevaluate your situation as you nolonger have the emotional obligation and that creates a conflict of interest.
In this case, I think Elin was more mad that it became public infromation and shattered their images as we knew them. Most people will deal with a private hurt but draw the line at public embarassment.
Don’t judge me, it’s just what I think.
*here’s your soapbox daisy. To answer your question, I have cheated and they didn’t leave. problem was, i didn’tk ow i was cheating as I’d never agreed to exclusive in the first place.
Wow. I am sorry but the little “jump off/side piece” KNEW he was married. She should apologize for sleeping with a married man!
oh yeah….I am not buying the fact that Tiger didnt get his butt handed to him. He is covering for his wife. He already screwed her over, he feels compelled to lie for her. Oh, well!
I know this isn’t right but ….
Before the scandal I never even noticed Tiger Woods. Now after the scandal, he is very attractive. Sexy even.

yeah..i believe she knew and if it was up to her sh!t wouldnt have to go public, but give her some credit she tried to work things out but homeboy thought to himself “b!tch i`m tiger woods..google me“ oh well let him handle it now
Theses wives know their husbands are cheating on them, they just want to continue to live the life that they are now accustomed to. And call how you see it that is WEAK. You only get one life so don’t waste yours being disrespected and cheated on. Know your worth ladies, there are plenty of men who will treat you like the queen you are.
If you let him get away with it once TRUST AND BELIEVE he has/will/is doing it again.

can u imagine how things could have turned out if the authorities had their way? those suckers worked hard to proove that there was domestic violence involved ….hmm and elin being dragged through court and sh!t, man just too much headache, his handlers thought it wise for him to deny being hit by elin
@ Daisy, I’m with you. You never know until you are in the situation. People dont just fall in and out of REAL love just like that. Ok Tiger cheated, so does that mean Elin emotions just cut off like a fawcet cuz he was out being an a$$? It’s never that cut and dry. Jan 20th marked my one year anniversary and I ADORE my husband and the best part is that I know he adores me back. If I found out he cheated, I don’t know what I would do, although, I say I can’t see being without him. To sit up here and say I would do this and that (even tho it may be what the emotinal me wants to do)and REALLY do it….well I’d probably be fabricating like most in here
Afternoon All,
In my opinion Tiger doesn’t owe anyone besides his wife and family an apology. Also, I don’t advocate tolerating cheating, but a marriage to me, is different than a regular relationship. You stand before God and make vows that state “FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE.” It’s not as simple as people make it out to be. If you MEAN your vows, BELIEVE that it will be hard to walk away from your marriage without at least fighting. Now if the man is just selfish and hell bent on cheating and not changing for you, then it’s obvious that you missed the red flags flying before the marriage that would prove that he clearly doesn’t love you.
Who are we to judge another persons relationship?? How many of us have stayed with cheaters and I’m not speaking about in a marriage, I mean in a regular committed relationship. Ok then.
An how do others come to the conclusion that this woman doesn’t truly love her husband??? Why is it, that if a woman marries a wealthy man, and the WORST of the marriage comes and she chooses to stay, it’s that she stays for the lifestyle and blah blah blah. While some do, people need to get rid of the notion that that is why ALL women in those situations stay.
Anyway, all the best to him and Elin in whatever they choose to do. At the end of the day, one of the most important parts of the decision either one makes, should be to make sure that whatever they decide will also be in the best interest of the children involved.
*The End*
*It should be “How do others….” Typo correction.
Also, the women who cheated with this married man should be ashamed of themselves and need to have a seat and shut the hell up. They chose to get involved w/ someone who is married and now want to pull the victim card?? Ummm…no!
I wish Elin, Tiger, and children the very best. If they can work it out, more power to them. Actions speak louder than words, and as he stated, Elin’s from the Show Me state. Talk is cheap. If you are a married man, keep your penis in your pants unless it’s between you and your wife, and if you are a female dating a married man, karma is a bytch and you will get yours.
Tiger should apologize to the jump off for making her fall in love with him? Is this woman serious?
i’m glad tiger came out and spoke on this. he took responsibility for his errors, he stated what happens with his family won’t be discussed, and he told the media to back off. it’s not gonna shut the media down, but at least he let them know he didn’t appreciate the stalking for a story.
no, he doesn’t owe us an apology or anything in the grand scheme of things, but he is a public figure and people are curious (nosey) about what’s going on. i ain’t gonna lie, it doesn’t affect me if elin stays or leaves…but am i curious to know if she does? yes! and that’s why i come to gossip and entertainment sites.
as for this chick talking about he owes her an apology – you can’t tell me that none of these women didn’t know he was married. it’s tiger woods…not skinny tony, ray ray’s cousin from the south side. you really expect us to believe that y’all had no idea that this man was married? chile please!
This Ho wants an apology? She should apologize to Elin for sleeping with her husband.
Tiger doesn’t owe us an apology and I’m not buying the one he gave. The ONLY reason he’s apologizing is because he got caught…who here thinks for a second he would have just come out and admitted to screwing any and every bimbo that would let him? Cheating, in my opinion, IS grounds for divorce, you r VOW to remain FAITHFUL to your spouse! Tiger took cheating to a whole other level, it wasn’t a fling with one chick…oops I made a mistake…he had a slew of bimbos with their legs wide open ready for him to jump in between! It might be hard for Elin to leave because I beleive she truly loves Tiger, but he is beyond disrespecful in they way he treated his Elin. He showed no restraint whatsoever…and the females he chose to have affairs with…tacky and classless! This just proves that he will have sex with anthing that comes his way. Damn Tiger if you’re going to cheat, cheat up!
onlinefan Says:
as for this chick talking about he owes her an apology – you can’t tell me that none of these women didn’t know he was married. it’s tiger woods…not skinny tony, ray ray’s cousin from the south side. you really expect us to believe that y’all had no idea that this man was married? chile please!

Is the porn star serious? Is Gloria Elrod serious? To think that one can get a job representing an adulteress who wants an apology b/c her married boyfriend MADE her fall in love with him?!?! SMH. If this is a job there should be no unemployment. Both of these money-grubbers are ridiculous!!
@Sandra* Hhmmm very interesting, I wonder if that also applies to an Alcoholic or Drug Addict???
I think (Intense) that you are very strong inside and out. Wish I was. But… Not everyone has that will power to leave at the drop of a hat. Sometimes, and sadly, repeated abuse such as this, makes the other spouse weak and humble.

A person can be addicted to sex, just like drugs, cigarettes or any other addiction…if they honestly want to stop they will need help and counseling.
I quit smoking cigarettes cold turkey and with a lot of prayer. Everybody can’t do it so easily they need help!!!

sue him for what???? for spreading ur legs to a married man?? GTFOH! I have DEF heard it all now
Hello All. He’s doing what the white folks have guided him to do. After all, it’s about the dollar bill ya’ll, the mighty dollar, the benjamins! After all, he’s an icon, a role model. (Ain’t no professional athlete EVER been a role model to me or my son!) Parents and family should be role models, not someone who hits a freaking ball around a golf course! And how many black folks out there like golf, for Christ sake? I’m just saying. Peace.
Does it make you a stronger woman if you decide to stay or are you a strong women because you decide to leave? Some say they stay because they believe in their marriage and husbands. But if he’s cheating, does he feel the same way you do by believing in the marriage? I personally don’t think so. I have been cheated on and I felt disgusted with even looking at him. I had to move on.
Kayla: What do you think when you see Hilary Clinton? I look at her and see a woman that stayed with a lowsy, cheating man…
@ Intense, you need to chill out with all the name calling. You sound so angry and bitter and for some unknown reason I was under the impression you were a young lady but you come off as a bitter old woman. Geez.
And to top it off you are not even married yet. Once you get married and lord forbid Mr. Thomas makes any mistake then come talk to us about how you handled it and put him in check. I bet we won’t hear from you, you’ll want understanding and privacy then.
However, since you are getting married on the date me and my husband met, best of luck anyway……
@ Al-Ameera,
don’t waste your breath with the ALL CAPS chick…it’s pointless. i’m convinced she’s a paid poster cuz no one could be that out of touch with reality. Like i said before, relationships are never black and white…and what works out for one couple won’t work for the next. the extent of his affairs and number of different women clearly indicate to me (jmho) that he has some deep emotional issues that need to be sorted out. and obviously ALL CAPS also has some deep-seated emotional issues too cuz it ain’t that serious to be calling people names.
Exactly @ speakinmymind,
Just angry for no good reason at all.
@AprilRain, that’s basically my question. I see Cookie stuck it out with Magic, I see Vanessa stuck it out with Kobe, I see Kwame’ Kilpatrick’s wife stuck it out with him etc. But then on the side of the spectrum, I see Shaunie has left Shaq, the South Carolina governor wife left him after he had a mistress in Argentine. That was my point. Did those first women I listed stay because they are strong, or did the second category of women leave because they were strong? These ARE some lousy husbands.
I agree with you 100% @ speakinmymind
@ MKM
Thats a really good question…gotta put on my thinking cap!!
@Kayla: See, it’s tough either way. I really would hope to be the type to leave and say “Hell no, you done slept with someone else”, but I guess you never know unless you are in that situation. And Maybe how much you truley believe your spouse is sorry and will change..I guess..
My grandfather cheated on my grammy early in their marriage even got the other woman pregnant…but they worked through it. He even told us that while he was doing the cheating he was always thinking “im the man she aint ever gonna leave me no matter what” but my grammy packed her bags, the kids, and left. He said that scared the crap out of him and he begged for her forgiveness and she came back after a year of him apologizing. He never cheated on her again because she was one of the stongest women he had ever known and he loved her. They were married for 45 years and had 15 kids. Then my grandfather had a stoke and was living in a nursing home for 5 years, doctors didnt know how he was still alive. My grammy died june of 98 and my grandfather died 3 months later. I still think he hung on for so long cause the love of his life was still alive and he died because she was no longer here.
Daisy Says:
Question to the married women or those in serious relationship…If you as a woman were to cheat do you think your man would stay and work things out or file for divorce?
——–
I have asked my hubby that question before and he told me flat out that he didn’t think he could stay with me because I had been with another man. He said he couln’t handle it. My hubby said that is how he feels now…but it happened he may feel differently (meaning never say never) He also stated he wouldn’t want to know the details or who the person was for fear of what he would do to the guy; like following dude to Kroger and sneak one on him in the parking lot.
One of my hubby’s friends said he would leave and never look back. He said that the coochie would be tainted and he could never go there again. Now that was some straight dumb sh*t if I ever heard it, but that’s how he felt.
@Sangria: Damn, thats a trip. And 45 years and 15 kids!!!! Hell of a Life!!!

that’s great! my grandfather cheated on my grandmother and she never let him forget it. she tormented the shit out of him but he wouldn’t leave her, either. when he got older and needed her she withheld food and medication from him as punishment. she always thought he was cheating, even when they got old as hell. she thought every lady on the block was doing it with him! eventually, they both went into the same nursing home but couldn’t be in the same room. she was caught beating him one day. i KNOW he withered away because of her and i have lots of stories of her just messing over him for decades because she never got over that cheating. when he died, she refused to eat and died about 3 months later. we all said it was because she didn’t have anybody to f*ck over anymore. she was in great health. this whole eposide really affected her kids. as grandkids we used to laugh at her antics but shake our heads at everything they went through. he stuck it out but he said he only messed with some lady once and my grandma caught him. they were like in their early twenties.
So because in certain people’s opinion, a woman chooses to stay with a cheating spouse she’s weak and this and blah blah blah…and because others have a different opinion their dumb and blah blah blah…I really do wonder sometimes if it’s adults or children on this site, that can’t articulate a point intelligently without name calling.
Also, just to be clear, I have never stayed with a cheater but I am mature enough not to judge another’s situation because I don’t know how I would react if placed in the same. What works for me, may not work for someone else and vice versa. I can’t judge some elses situation or mind set in THEIR relationship.
I think ppl need to be very careful judging others and their relationships because the same s*it you say you wouldn’t put up with you will and you would want compassion from others in the mean time…everybody relationship is different because we all are different no 2 couples are the same…just pray and ask God that you never have to experience that type of pain if your husband step out but if you do give me the strength to stand by my vows and pray for the best…there is this black couple that have been married for 85 years ppl really need to check out there story because trust 85 years wasn’t all peaches and creme.
I can’t honestly say that I would leave my hubby if he cheated on me and that by no means that I’m weak. Things happen for a reason. We would look at what got us to that point. Clearly look at our relationship as a whole and try to repair what’s broken. Now if this is becomes a pattern that continues, then he’s leaving our home…not me.
SAYING YOU WILL LEAVE IS EASY BEFORE THE SITUATION ARRIVE! TRUST WHEN YOU HAVE INVESTED TIME AND EMOTION IN A RELATIONSHIP, IT’S NOT SO EASY TO WALK AWAY.
Its easy to sit behind a computer and say what you will or wont do… But honestly, til that shoe drops on your foot, you dont know what you would do.. I agree with MUNCHOSGIRL – Sometimes its not to easy to just walk away..
@ April
It is a lot of kids…but they lived on a farm was in Montezuma, GA…we used to spend summers there…im talking no air conditioner, feeding the pigs, milking cows, shelling peas, having to be quiet & not move when theres a thunderstorm, wearing that itchy dress that Big Momma made to church, having to pick your own switch to get beat with…straight country!!
@ Free…Dang thats rough…your grandfather was a trooper cause that I would have left…

This is so true. We invest in our homes and our kids, jobs, family ad friends, why don’t ppl invest in their marriage, even if it’s on the rocks most things can be repaired. Marriage Counselors/ Moderators are not here to just sit and twittle their thumbs. Most marriages fail due to lack of communication. Men and women are wired differently, we can’t read each other minds, if we can learn to communicate effectivly and with constructive critisim vs. let’s see who can yell the loudest to get our point across, a marriage can get back on track. Not all ppl leave because of cheating or even a outside child. Unless the couple really out grew each other or there is abuse or gambling any marriage can succeed if you both want it and work at it together. Ppl forget to allow GOD in their marriage, but Ray Ray, and LaQuanza knows all your business. Quit talking to your friends about what’s wrong in your marriage and tell your spouse. Just my 2 cents. It must be working because my first yr. of marrige was the pits, I have now been married for over 12 ys. by taking my own advice. Don’t be afraid to talk to your spouse about the marriage the two of you are in. Two ppl took those vows, I don’t care if you had 1,000 ppl at your wedding, those ppl should not be in your marriage because they attended the wedding.

It’s very easy to walk away after a man has cheated on you 20 times. That 20th time is the deal breaker IMO.
