With the confirmation of what we already knew, does anyone think this is acceptable. Domestic violence towards men is sometimes seen as a bit of a joke. Many people have been saying that Tiger "deserved" what he got.
If you found out your partner had cheated would you hit them? If you did would they deserve it?
Any sympathy I had for his wife has all but gone. She seems extremely violent and I don't blame Tiger for looking elsewhere. She could have killed him.

When my husband cheated on me I was angry and upset beyond all belief. Its the worst feeling in the world and I although I don't condone it in anyway I can understand why someone would lash out.
However the part in bold says it all - I would never allow people an opportunity to say such things about me and turn his behaviour into my fault.
On the other hand, it's still a crime or should be IMO...and I'm bound to wonder (assuming these reports are true, of course) if the reaction would be different if a husband battered his cheating wife with a golf club. Often I find myself questioning the seemingly widespread acceptance of, or even support for, vengeful acts...especially those involving violence.
Slap in the face is justified, punch in the head not so much.
Violence of any type from either male of female is wrong.....
Tiger is a dog..........the world has seen this......his disrespect for his family seems to know no bounds.
He disgusts me.
Is children will pay the price for the way he has chosen to behaved.
But I can't feel a great deal of compassion for someone like Tiger Woods!
I felt the same when it happened to me. and as tempted as I was to really do some physical damage I refrained somehow, something Im pleased of now.
Nobody has the right to hit someone else, but I can understand why it happens in some cases.
No it's not.
Violence is never acceptable, unless is self defence.
Actually i do feel sympathy for Tiger's wife in this case. She has been taken for a fool and even though she did the wrong thing by hurting her husband, I think its understandable why she did it.
I bopped someone on the head lightly with a light newspaper as she was annoying and would not respond to decent conversation.
No, it's not understandable.
If she did what is reported, then that's ABH/GBH, or whatever the equivalent is in America.
Would you consider it "understandable" if I broke my cheating wife's cheek with a golf club, or would it be different because I'm a man?
No no, a violent assault with a weapon is a violent assault with a weapon. But in this instance we do not appear to have a complainant. It is just possible that an attempt is being made to prepare the ground for a dirty divorce battle.
What if the cheater is the woman, is it justifiable for a man to give her a slap round the face? Hard one that is.
I can understand the feelings of overwhelming anger and frustration, your stomach churning over, your head spinning with millions of thought rushing through, a distorted mindset. With all that happening I can how easily it is to try and rid yourself of some of the feelings and bring some sort of perspective, sense and order to an awful situation.
Its very understandable. Its not just one instance of Tiger sleeping with another party, and making a mistake. Its numerous occasions involving prostitutes and countless other women. He has behaved very badly and has shown complete disrespect for women, never mind his wife and seems to have no morals.
So yes I can completely understand why she lashed out at him. Although I think that violence is never right, in this case I have a huge amount of sympathy for Tiger's wife and how he has obviously just used her to create the right image.
We do not know whether it is an assault. It has been kept a mystery as Tiger said his wife 'saved him' initially didn't he? Who is to say what actually happened. These celebrities say anything to illicit sympathy.
And your last question, would i consider it assault if you broke your wife's cheek with a golf club? Yes of course I would.
Totally agree.
It sounds like a bloody vicious attack and had it been the other way around then nobody would be surprised if he had been jailed. It is also tempting to think that she must have had the sort of personality that would make infidelity much more understandable.
I agree, it is massive double standards. As people have said if it was the other way around and I came on here saying "well she was cheating on him, I can understand why he smacked her around the head with a golf club". I would be quite rightly shouted down.
You are evading the question.
I didn't ask if me hitting my cheating wife with a golf club would be assault, I asked if it would be understandable?
