The news about Tiger the last week and change has been shocking to say the least.  Not one affair, but multiple.  And no, I haven’t put him on some “holier-than-thou” pedestal. 

What’s really shocking, and curious to me, is that with Tiger such a high profile figure, you would have to figure that these women knew he was married.  And to an obviously gorgeous Elin Nordgren.  While I won’t ponder on Tiger’s decision to do it (I am a male, and do not condone it in the slightest), I’m curious about the women.  What possesses a woman who knows that the object of her desire is taken, and is basically using the situation for sex (maybe trinkets too), to engage in this kind of behavior?  Is there really some misguided delusion that they’ll leave their wife (through divorce) for them?

Inquiring minds want to know.
