Rupert, so you are justifying this behavior. Life is not about how many people you've slept with. No one forced him to get married. The guy is scum in my book. And from what I hear a shoddy tipper as well. Bad signs.

Funny story from the Andre Agassi book about Pete Sampras... Andre and then coach Brad Gilbert were in a restaurant in California and watched as Pete Sampras left the restaurant waiting for the valet to bring him his car. After he drives away, Andre and Brad decide to make a bet on how much money Pete tipped the valet. Brad says I bet that cheap SOB only left him
$5. Andre gulps, and says to Brad, "the guy has made 40 million in prize money. He had to leave him at least $10." So they wander outside and ask the valet the amount Pete left and the valet confesses Pete left him $1. Brad won the bet.

No, I'm not justifying his bevavior. I'm simply saying that from a psychological viewpoint, I can understand his behavior. I'm not going to judge the guy. We don't know what's it's like to be Tiger Woods. We don't know what it's like to be one of the biggest celebrities in the world. What he did is clearly wrong. There is no debate about that. But none of us are perfect.

I think scum is a harsh word, but I agree with you. The same vices are out there for everybody...just dissappointed in his judgement.
