Tiger Woods
The whole world was watching recently when Tiger Woods stood before the television cameras and admitted that he had been cheating on his wife. He asked for forgiveness and stated that he was being treated in a sex addiction facility to address his problem.
His admission has prompted a considerable debate among mental health professionals and the public at large as to whether or not there is such a thing as a “sex addiction.” And what we have to say on this issue is not intended to end that debate. The bottom line truth is for most spouses who have been cheated on, it doesn’t make any difference whether it’s an addiction or not. Calling it an “addiction” does not take away the unbearable pain of an unfaithful partner.
The question a lot of people would ask cheaters is, “if you’re the kind of person who likes ‘sleeping around,’ then why say that you’re committed to one person when you’re not or even get married?” If you’re not going to honor your commitment to remain sexually faithful then just remain single. Spare any potential partner the emotional pain of your cheating or risking exposing them to various venereal diseases—some of which are life threatening.
Our recommendation is that both partners honor their commitment to being faithful. If there is a problem in the relationship, get help to fix the problem. We invite you to our web site www.couplestransformations.com to find helpful information and resources.
