Peter_s_Aus: "Ah, well, the American Way," nothing. I have spoken to two friends in two different European countries about this who say the exact same thing! What, you think she should walk away having been publicly humiliated, take her two children and fade quietly--and poorly--into the woodwork? Nah.

I'm not American, Peter, and it is about retribution, not money. It is obvious what drives Tiger Woods. Your comment about > demonstrates that you know nothing about serial infidelity. It is a condition in which someone practises it and someone else endures it. Very often in our still patriarchal society, it is the man who plays and the woman who stays. I do hope that Elin Woods has enough self-esteem to get herself out of that situation.

She can't leave him. Not while he is chasing Nicklaus' major record of 18 victories.
Move to Sweden for the winter. The kids can learn Swedish. Go to some hockey games. Eat moose meat. In other words, turn it into a positive.

1. See a good lawyer (ALWAYS know your rights).
2. Decide whether I still love the guy and want to make an effort to save the marriage.
If Yes to 2 - Decide what it would take for ME to want to stay in the marriage and then discuss with Tiger. Depending on how amenable he is, make final decision on whether to proceed with divorce or marriage. If marriage, make sure he understands that he is "on probation" and proceed with open eyes and a clear understanding of where the "line in the sand is".
If No to 2, proceed with divorce.

I would never sleep with him again. PERIOD. I would divorce him. I am sure she will make out quite well in the settlement. I can't imagine she wouldn't pre nup or not. I assume he broke the contract with three affairs.
Poor kids. Better to break it off now. I could never trust that man again.
Just very sad. I am disappointed that he turned out to be a sleaze. While she was pregnant?
I hope she gets a ton of his money. That should give him something to think about the next time he boinks whatever happens to be around...

She can't leave (yet) However, I suppose he will be celibate for quite some time! Hope his grip is good.
It was fun to read Jesper Parnevik's take on all this!

He's the one who introduced them.

Pam, as usual, I'm in your corner, I'd take up golf and really learn how to swing those clubs.
Really though, I hope she takes the high road and keeps quiet, then tries to figure out what is best for her and her kids. I can't even imagine how betrayed she must feel.

Brando - Phil is marreid adn his wife is battling brest cancer. Stop this right now.
If I were Elin, I would just stay quiet. I would review my pre-nup. I would meet with the best attorney money can buy, because there is no way I would ever be able to trust him again. It is so early in this marriage too. The kids are so young, so this is a very sad time. Damn him!!!!! As has been established on the other thread, I just do not understand men. What an idiot he is. She deserves so much better.

And for all you money focused posters, she may want to sit quietly (depending on her pernup terms) and watch his fortune continue to grow (before seeking a divorce).
Of course, there may be a chance that they really care for each other, warts and all, and should quietly try to work things out. But that isn't nearly as fun to post about!
