The eye of the Tiger
So I know everyone has been talking about Tiger Tiger Woods ya’ll scandal, so I figure I throw in my two cents. (Dust off soap box, clears throat)
Hear ye’, Hear ye’! Men cheat. He is a man. This is nothing new. That is all.
I mean, were people really surprise by this cause I certainly was not. The only thing that made me raise a fraction of an eyebrow was the amount of attention and buzz this created, as if this was a new concept. A complete media frenzy, with women, pearls clutch, gasping at the audacity of Tiger, the utter definition of a melting pot who reached fame through his putt putt skills and cheated on his snow white wife.
Presidents, Businessmen, athletes, rappers, drug dealers, even delivery men cheat. So for people to be so astonished by this is a mystery to me.
I am in no way saying that every man on the planet cheats, or that all famous men cheat, but let’s face it, statistics don’t lie. 57% of all married men have had an extra material affair at some point. Average length of an affair, TWO years and in most cases, the affairs are never discovered.
And then women have the nerve and audacity to ask the question why. Why did this happen? Why did he cheat on me?
Let’s first delve into the point, do you really want to know the answer? Because no matter what answer he gives you, it’s always going to be a dumb selfish one. It won’t bring clarity or heal your wounds. There is no satisfaction in knowing the whys, hows, wheres, and whoms.
The most important question that women, i.e Mrs. Tiger Woods, should be asking is what am I going to do now? What’s my next step?
It’s not about what your man is going to do for you or how he should make it up to you if you decide to stay. What’s important is what you are going to do for yourself. You should be your sole focus. You cannot stay stuck in the past. What’s done is done, move on for your own sanity and your children if applicable. Make peace with yourself and know that no matter what you could’ve possibly done does not warrant your mate stepping out on you. I know all about cheating. I’m not going to sugar coat it. It sucks. There are no words for the amount of pain you go through. No one can honestly comfort you. The only person that can sincerely comfort you is you.
