Tiger Woods: What Would You Do?
Filed in Marriage on December 10, 2009 with 17 comments
I got this question on another blog:
Your husband is worth $1 billion dollars a year. You find out that he has cheated on you. He offers you 20 million to stay for 2 years. Do you
a. you have morals and you leave him
b. you have morals you beat him with a club and then leave him
c. renegotiate your prenup agreement and take the 20 million
Keep in clean but be honest!
Renegotiate the pre-nup and divorce his sorry ass. Then get alimony and way more than $20 million in the end.
You take money out of the equation (personally) — do what you need to heal from the humiliation and the hurt, take care of your kids, and let your attorneys worry about the money issues. When you’re in the position of hurt/shame/anger, truly, your head’s not on the money. That’s why your attorney advocates for you.
Personally, I loved what she did, although I am a little disappointed that he had the chance to make contact with a fire hydrant before she could explore better possibilities of that golf club.
RENEGOTIATE SISTER! But the question is, would I leave him after he stood by me when I was in trouble? I do agree a little with spiritual nurse: let the lawyers take care of most of it. Eventhough it would seem like a little, revenge and retaliation seem like the best at this point. She shouldn’t let Woods affairs humiliate her that way
I’d renegotiate the pre-nup and take the 20 million.
Renegotiate the pre-nup, particularly to allow for my own extramarital affairs, take the $20 million, and see him as little as possible.
Since those are the choices, I’d renegotiate the prenup. The having morals and leaving choices won’t pay the bills and leave me living in the “manner that I’ve become accustomed to.”
Her first hint was the fact there was a pre-nup at all. If she was going to have children with someone where a pre-nup was even necessary then she knew what she was getting into with a plan to get out. That’s accountability. All this other stuff is now finger-pointing and blame. Let it go and focus on the children not who gets what. If you have children you know no amount of money takes the place of sitting and reading with them, having dinner together, playing board games, taking an interest in their school work and being with them. The cost of children not getting parental attention is what parents have to be accountable for, not mistakes they have made and stupidity they have perpetrated. Just goes to show, you can be rich, you can be in debt but no matter what, you are accountable for your actions – bank on it.
no amount of $ is worth that kind if disrespect and public humiliation, not to mention the damage to the kids emotional health. I’d get as much $ out of his sorry ass and get the hell out
c. renegotiate your prenup agreement and take the 20 million
Agree with :"SpiritualNurse " do what you need to heal from the humiliation and the hurt, take care of your kids, and let your attorneys worry about the money issues. When you're in the position of hurt/shame/anger, truly, your head's not on the money..
Me personally, I would definitely renegotiate the prenup and leave. If it was one, there "may" (and I use the word may lightly), be a possibility of working it out but if the numbers are correct on the amount of women he was cheating on her with, no way. No way I could forgive that. That' would be WAY to much humiliation for me. That means each time she was carrying one of his kids, he was out there. Unacceptable!! So again, I would renegotiate for a larger amout to help with my pain and suffering and move the h*ll on!!!
On a different note, and following up with Tiger's interview from today, he stated that domestic abuse was not involved. It will be interesting to see how all of this plays out. Me: I wish I had his golfing skills.
I need money for new life. So, I'll take letter c – renegotiate our prenup agreement and take the 20 million. I'll use the money for my total debt elimination , investment and other important things vital in moving on.
I would just leave him as it should be and try to get as much money from him as possible, he deserves it….
Stay and take the money! 2 years isn't that long
For accuracy, Tiger Woods has "earned" over $1 Billion from golf winnings and endorsements, according to Forbes. He is likely worth around $600 million… he does pay A LOT in taxes and is very charitable. As of recently Tiger Woods will be most likely divorcing estranged wife Elin, as she is set to receive about $100 million in the divorce settlement, but must remain quite for about her life with Tiger Woods forever.
5 years of marriage = $100 million payout = $20 million per year for being married to golf great Tiger Woods. Not to shabby…
Interesting post. Can I choose 2 answers? Because that would be B & C, it's impossible for me not to beat him with a club when he confess.
