Et Tu Tigre? The Confession
Tiger’s thirteen-minute “apology” came with all the pomp and circumstance of a presidential press conference and just as much security too. Most of the comments were about how robotic he seemed, with some journalists even calling his speech “pathetic.” Well, that’s a little harsh. Confession, while it might be good for the soul, is hard to do, especially when it involves your marriage, your sex life and millions of dollars in endorsement deals.
I first must commend Elin for not being there. I’m tired of the pathetic image of the supportive woman looking on, while the man confesses his affairs. Kudos Elin!
Tiger Woods: Elin and I have started the process of discussing the damage caused by my behavior. As Elin pointed out to me, my real apology to her will not come in the form of words; it will come from my behavior over time. We have a lot to discuss; however, what we say to each other will remain between the two of us.
Holy nine iron Jack Nicklaus! Did you hear that? I love the smell of reconciliation in the morning!
Tiger Woods: The issue involved here was my repeated irresponsible behavior. I was unfaithful. I had affairs. I cheated. What I did is not acceptable, and I am the only person to blame.
That’s called owning your stuff people, and that’s what makes good relationship.
My male friends say that Elin must not have been “doing her job.” Seems to me that neither of them communicated what their needs were and I think it’s too easy to blame the woman. Needs can only be addressed when they are out there sitting on the table.
Tiger Woods: As I proceed, I understand people have questions. I understand the press wants to ask me for the details and the times I was unfaithful. I understand people want to know whether Elin and I will remain together. Please know that as far as I’m concerned, every one of these questions and answers is a matter between Elin and me. These are issues between a husband and a wife.
Yes, this is really about him and his wife. Let’s move along people, nothing else to see here.
There is something to be said about confession, when it’s sincere it means we can start picking up he pieces and see if can fix this thing. It’s a good start Tiger. Now I hope your actions back it up.
