Elin finally broke her silence concerning Tiger Woods affairs (read Elin’s Interview). One thing is for sure, the pain of an affair is universal. Yes, she has a lot of money, but I can tell through her interview that she felt the same deep wound that we all feel when we find out that our husband is not the man we thought. Elin seemed like she was in the same boat as most of us in our thinking prior to finding out. Our husband is loving, we have our arguments, but he would never cheat on me. Or he would never disrespect me, involving other people, blatantly going out with other women in public, etc. News Flash – all men are capable of cheating in a disrespectful manner.
Elin talked about the embarrassment – if your affair is known, you have been there. I can say to a certain extent I am still there at times, there is still a very small part of me that harbors some embarrassment in talking with others about it, but I am getting better every day.
Elin talks about the anger, the pain, the depression – we have all been there. At the end of the article, I smiled in knowing how universal our feelings are when our husband cheats. It’s a shame that there is not a ton of stuff out there that bonds us together through this experience because it is usually a taboo topic. I hope to change that one day, giving women somewhere to go and talk to someone who has been through the experience. The site is just the beginning.
Tomorrow, (Part II) I will talk about the impact of having wealth and how that helped Elin in her time of affair recovery, because I do think having money does help the situation.
