I know... has this topic been exhausted enough or what?
Honestly, the whole thing just totally irks me because it just comes off as being some PR thing. I'm in PR, I know one when I see one. Honestly, I will be shocked if Elin does not have a book out in the next year or something. The whole thing just totally gets on my nerves. I understand that people cheat and make mistakes. I get that. But when cocktail waitress after cocktail waitress comes forward and you just sit there and let it all come out and then you blame it on an addiction? come on. Sex addiction? really? I call it more of an addiction to being a jackass, but whatever.

I think there has been a collective response from all "She-Woman Man-Haters" that Elin should have left him after the second or third waitress reveal came out. And when it was announced that Elin said she wasn't planning on filing for divorce right way, I'll be the first to admit that my reaction was "well of course the chick isn't going to divorce him - she'd lose tens of millions of dollars if she doesn't wait a few more years!" Ask B, I have exclaimed this several times.
But then today, I go on people.com and see that their marriage pastor released a public statement to the couple that they should work hard to make it through and to remain true to their vows. (Welp I think that "being faithful" vow has already been broken but let's focus on the rest of them). This pastor is quotes as saying "Remember these four phrases.I was wrong. I am sorry. Please forgive me. I love you."
Part of me is thinking, dude, are you looking for your own 15 minutes of fame much?
And then the other part of me is thinking, I hope they listen. Maybe it is because of the recent marriage prep workshop that I'm thinking this but they did get married and if they truly wanted to spend their lives together, then they need to invest the commitment of making it through the rough spots. No one knows another couple's relationship like the people in the relationship. And no one knows that they might never have to deal with something equally as stressing.
People often argue that celebrities have more pressure on their relationships and that's why so many of them fail. I don't know if I necessarily believe that but I'd like to think that it would be nice to actually see a public-figure married couple make it through the mess you know? Who knows - maybe in 10 years, people will be saying something like "Well if Tiger and Elin can make it through, so can we." I guess we will have to wait and see.
And that's all I have to say about that. Anything you'd like to add?
