Tiger Wood's extramarital affairs should be viewed as a "guy" thing. If he was married to an American born woman,that American woman would probably be taking him for a ride for his money,and appear before the media like Sanford's wife did in Carolina.As the cross-cultural dude on Tips,there is a history in Scandinavia of tolerance for "messing around" with understanding.I know of many married Scandinavian men who have girl friends in Chile and have travelled there to visit them. The American press was trying to make a big deal out of this,but the American media did not seek the opinion of Tiger's Scandinavian wife.She probably thoight that this was none of the press' business. Other important aspects of this is that interracial marriages tend to last longer of blacks married to Europeans despite issues in the marriage.The Scandinavians also have a highrate of adoption of black babies,and despite the high divorce rate in Scandinavia,the families work hard to keep relationships intact. Please note that Sammy Davis Jr. was married to the Swede Mae Britt. Btw,the high divorce rate in Scandinavia is not because the family is in disarray but it can be viewed from the perspective that people who feel liberated to engage in relationships are also free to disengage in relationships if they want to.
