I want to first comment on Tiger Wood’s apology to the public by asking “Why? Why? Why?” He owes none of us an apology. The only people he owes an apology to are his wife, children, family, and business partners. He owes the game of golf nothing. He owes the media nothing. And he owes me and you nothing…so please, get over it! And to the mistresses that have publicly said they want an apology from him...are you serious? It’s not like you didn’t know who he was and that he had a wife and kids. The last time I checked, that makes you all “Home wreckers”! Therefore, if anyone should be apologizing, you all should apologize to his wife and kids for the damage that you caused and be accountable to the roles that you played in this whole circus!
Whew, now that I have gotten my venting off my chest, let’s get down to business. If you read the title and thought this was going to be an article calling out the men so the women can jump up and cheer, I apologize. This is not going to be good reading for you. I want to keep it real by stating the facts. Fact number 1, if you are a girlfriend or a mistress, you have nothing to gripe about when you find out you are not the only girlfriend and/or mistress. You get a little more status when you are engaged. But you are not truly going to be considered as significant unless you are his wife. Fact number 2, these guys are only going to be as faithful as their options. Since he is rich and famous, those options are going to be plenty. So, I hate to lay the heavy stuff on you, but odds are, your husbands can, have, and will cheat on you. Fact number 3, chances are, you were once one of the groupies that you now get upset about chasing after your man. Have you forgotten the rules to the game? If you move your feet, you lose your seat! Final fact, if you want him to be faithful, your best option would have been to not ever have gotten married.
The average shelf life of a professional athlete is about 7 years, give or take. They have a small window of opportunity to cash in the big money and take advantage of all the perks that lifestyle has to offer. This definitely includes the women that make themselves available. But, just like the athletes shelf life, these women have a short shelf life to cash in and marry that professional jock. Their looks will fade as they hit their 30’s and the attention will turn from them to the up and coming 20 year old groupies that have yet to be affected by age, hard living, partying, and gravity. Therefore, these women cannot lose their edge. The same things that were done to get that athlete are the same things that need to be done to keep him….if not more.
I still haven’t answered the question in the title yet. Well, the answer is simple. He doesn’t trust that you married him because of who he is as a person. If he wasn’t rich, would you have gone out of your way to get his attention? Let me answer that for you….Hell to the No! Yeah, you may eventually grow to care about him. But chances are you are not any different than the other groupies. He just married you for whatever reason. Most of the time, it is because you had his child/children and it’s “cheaper to keep her”. His heart isn’t in it with you anymore than yours was in it with him. The natural order is for the man to chase the woman. When you are a groupie, and you are chasing the man…you have sealed your fate….FOREVER! Since you were a groupie, that won the prize, doesn’t mean you won his heart. So don’t be surprised when he still has other groupies on the side in other cities. You asked for this life when you entered that world.
Disclaimer: This does not apply to all professional athletes…just the ones that married groupies.
