In response to "(not that there's anything to suggest that this is the case but...) Why would Tiger Woods want to stay with his wife?" by Mop (230 lbs)

maybe he loves her?

Posted by Elf Andie (aka Andie) Dec 8 '09, 09:30

i know some people feel this is impossible, but i don't.

Responses:

See, I don't get this. *maybe* if it were a single indiscretion. - musubi Dec 8, 09:44 28
- i'd think of it this way: Tiger gets married, tries to stay faithful, it works for like a year (six months? a week?), and then he cheats. - TFox Dec 8, 09:59 3
  - I'm not saying that I know where the line was crossed that he clearly no longer respects her, but someone on that continum, it happened. - musubi Dec 8, 10:08
  - pretty much but I think he started before they got married but I guess he thought that wiped the slate clean -- nm - zork Dec 8, 10:01
  - And somehow...an old Swedish lady ends up in the hospital! -- nm - Jim Dec 8, 10:00
- I think it shows he doesn't respect her, but he still could love her. - Inigo Dec 8, 09:51 5
  - IMO, the two things go hand in hand. Real love *requires* respect. (nm) - musubi Dec 8, 09:53 4
    - That would be acts of love, not a feeling of love. Two different things, imo. -- nm - Inigo Dec 8, 09:55 3
      - We shall have to agree to disagree here. (nm) - musubi Dec 8, 09:57 2
        
        i think you are applying your own morals and emotional 'rules' to someone else. - Elf Andie Dec 8, 09:58 1
        
        Plus his connotative meaning isn't in line with the already established dictionary meaning of love. - Inigo Dec 8, 10:01
- I'm surprised at how many STers are doing this about Tiger. Trying to apply rational thought to indiscretions about sex and love. - con_carne Dec 8, 09:48 10
  - That's not what I'm saying though. He is neither the first nor last to do what he did. - musubi Dec 8, 09:51 9
    - He doesn't have to still love her, if he simply believes he still does. He can fool himself into thinking this, if it means keeping half a billion. -- nm - con_carne Dec 8, 09:53 8
      - love is a feeling, if you feel it, it's real. -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 8, 09:53 7
        
        I hate to keep beating this drum, but money is also something that people love. A lot. -- nm - con_carne Dec 8, 09:57 3
        
        and? -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 8, 09:57 2
        
        Why does it matter whether the love is real or not? Sometimes, it's just something that people say, and we can't unprove it. -- nm - con_carne Dec 8, 09:59 1
        
        afaik, Tiger has said nothing. this started with MY comment that maybe he loves her. - Elf Andie Dec 8, 10:00
        
        So when Hotkiss comes in next week totally head over heels over the latest cute barista she saw, is that real love? (nm) - musubi Dec 8, 09:55 2
        
        *lasting* love is something more, i totally agree. but how else do you define a feeling other than 'i feel it.' - Elf Andie Dec 8, 09:56 1
        
        That's what I'm saying though. Tiger might still have feelings for Elin. He had lots of reasons to stay with her. - musubi Dec 8, 10:00
- well, *you* dont. and *i* don't. - Elf Andie Dec 8, 09:46 6
  - Regardless of whether he had feelings for his various indiscretions, it's about his treatment of Elin. - musubi Dec 8, 09:50 5
    - Boy, if only "respect" was worth a damn in divorce court, or the court of public opinon. -- nm - con_carne Dec 8, 09:51 2
      - WTF does divorce court have to do with anything? (nm) - musubi Dec 8, 09:57 1
        
        You are talking about things that can't be proven, so you have no way to judge, and neither does anyone else. -- nm - con_carne Dec 8, 10:03

    - trust me, i'm not condoning the behaviour. but i don't think we can all say that his actions are a reflection of his emotions. we have no idea. -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 8, 09:51
Agreed. And, to keep his stuff. -- nm - con_carne Dec 8, 09:32 3
- Who gets by with only one Escalade? I mean, what is this... Africa? -- nm - Mop (230 lbs) Dec 8, 09:33 2
  - This is funny, but of course there is also the principle of the thing. Yes, even in Tiger's case. -- nm - con_carne Dec 8, 09:42
  - *laughing* -- nm - Loyola Dec 8, 09:34

I can see that, but he has to accept that she probably doesn't love him any more. -- nm - Mop (230 lbs) Dec 8, 09:31 1
- sure, but that wouldn't stop him from trying. -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 8, 09:31
