We have plenty to say about Tiger Woods’ current, well, state of affairs, but we’ll leave that up to the gossip rags.
We do, however, think that the Tiger Woods’ actions bring up some issues that resonate deeply with many us: What happens when someone is unfaithful in a relationship?
The future of that relationship is a personal choice between that couple—but how does the unfaithful person’s actions affect everyone around him/her?
Perhaps this hits close to home for you. Have you been in a relationship in which one person cheated on the other? Certainly, we all know someone—in our own families or circle of friends—who has been there.
Respected psychiatrist and television personality, Dr. Dale Archer, brought this to light recently on his Facebook page when he asked: “Do you have less respect for Tiger Woods now?”
“I admire Tiger Woods tremendously,” says Dr. Archer. “Great golfer, good looking, and that wholesome, good guy image. Generous, humble, and easy going …”
So, now what? Certainly, many of his fans—and the public—have lost respect for him. But what about his family? His friends? His neighbors?
We’d love to know:
Has a partner’s repeated infidelities been part of your personal experience?
How did you cope?
And did others lose respect for your unfaithful partner or did they simply turn a blind eye?
