    If you fucked some bitch with a big ole ass and some fatnatties, I would be so mad and we would be done.

    If I found out you were watching some dumb AF tv corpo brainrot with a bitch you fucked?! I’d learn ancient Sumerian, summon every deep dark toothy grinning thing I could, rip your existence from the fabric of creation, and pin the tattered eyes I pulled from your eternally tortured flesh, to a signpost just outside reality, to forever watch and weep at your transgressions against humanity.

        Also very true.

        I think the root of the anger would be at the realization that I married someone with such a floppy sponge spine that they were snuggling up to their side and watching dumb shit, or someone for whom desperate housewives bonding was necessary, and they hid one or the other from me to bind me in matrimony.

        This is a good point. As a life goal I am trying to see the destitute lives people like this lead, as punishment in itself. Thank you for your help in this.

        I take it all back. I would tell the woman everything I could think of to help her to keep him forever. Then I would make a public announcement about how I found out but there were no hard feelings, wish them well, and pay for a honeymoon-style month-long trip for them. All without letting him know ahead of time.

      I dunno, giving a partner the silent treatment until they say the “correct” thing seems icky.

          It’s that he only responded when she clarified she was joking.

          It’s not the time between texts, it’s the reaction.

                You’re right. In fact, I suspect Jaimee wanting to watch “desperate housewives” was her asking to watch secret footage Woods recorded of his wife Elin Nordegren whenever she was distressed. Utterly depraved.


                Edit: Joking aside, “the benefit of the doubt” implies there’s doubt, but you’re manufacturing the doubt. People in a normal, healthy headspace do not think this way about text messages.

        You’re extrapolating way too much from these six texts. Like Tiger Woods is not a good person, but you’re seriously just assuming way too much here even accounting for that.

        These were leaked by the New York Post in December 2009, so the lack of a year indicates September 30, 2009. (Woods was cheating with Jaimee from about April 2007 to December 2009.) I can think of a million reasons why a celebrity athlete in the middle of a Wednesday might not get back to their secret love affair via text for over an hour, let alone in an era where a text message was socially even less urgent than it is today.

        Unless it’s obviously urgent, waiting an hour between messages is 100% normal; it’s a text message.

            Nah, the unknownmuncher got it right before I did: if you think an hour between text messages is “the silent treatment”, you need to seriously reevaluate how you treat text messages.

                Yeah, if there were a pattern of that, I might agree. You’re taking a single data point and extrapolating way beyond reason. If you look at the rest of the texts, there’s nothing to suggest he treated her like you’re suggesting, and even if we didn’t have those other texts, there are just a million reasons why someone might’ve not gotten back until that third message. You’re chalking up what’s exceedingly likely just a coincidence (again, it’s an hour) to malice.

                There’s literally even another text that reads: “don’t text me back till tomorrow morning. I have to many people around me right now”. Like this is an obvious problem for anyone cheating, let alone a celebrity. It was, again, the middle of a Wednesday; there’s no reason to expect Woods wasn’t just, like, a little busy for an hour. (Edit: I personally did this yesterday, realizing I outright forgot to reply.)

                Of the things to get upset about with tiger woods, this communication thing is an odd one.
                Someone makes a joke. You chuckle and go back to what you were doing, or you don’t chuckle and still go back to what you were doing. They send another message that makes you realize they expected a response and took your lack of response the wrong way, so you reply telling them you knew they were joking.

                Not every message needs a reply, to say nothing of an immediate one. How would you have had him reply?

                Do you reply to every message immediately?

                We don’t know that’s what he did, there aren’t even timestamps on this. If I text you a joke now, and then don’t get anything back, and then I send you a follow-up text saying “I was just joking”, and then sometime after that you get back to your phone and see the joke and the follow-up, no one can assume you only texted because of the follow-up.

                Maybe you got my first one and said “screw them” and waited for an apology, maybe you didn’t get the first one until after the second had been sent and saw them both together and replied to both, or maybe you saw the first and went “heh” but forgot to actually respond to me in the moment, and it wasn’t until after the second came through that you went “ah shit, right”

                But only the receiver can know which is which.

                Anyways! I don’t give a shit about Tiger Woods, I just hate miscommunication and assumptions of ill-intent, and I’ve seen first hand too many times a person who is more connected drawing all sorts of conclusions for what a silence might mean, or how mad someone must be, or reading into a gap that simply isn’t there. The receiver just is doing something, they’re not on their couch staring at their phone, and the sender is spinning out all sorts of stories to explain how they’re being ignored or attacked. It’s anxiety.

        I’m not defending Tiger because he’s a magat asshole (in addition to the DUIs and infidelity),

        …but letting an hour elapse between texts is not “giving the silent treatment,” and acting like it is is batshit.

                The woman in the original picture likely did it as a joke herself. It’s ok to laugh at people (men and women) being ridiculous.

        I dunno what all these people are on about, I see it too. The joke from the picture is literally him giving her the silent treatment as the joke.

        To me, though, it was less icky and manipulative, but more, he’s cheating and doesn’t really give a shit about her. Like, my unease was more from his final response that seems universal for somebody who’s only in it for the ass. Which is basically the same thing, but still different. One is manipulative, the other is just that they’re aren’t on the same page about what their relationship is. Right? You can’t be manipulative if it’s really fucking obvious that you aren’t interested in what they’re saying and aren’t even trying to hide it. Well, you can… But… Yeah… okay, I tried; It’s gross and manipulative.

    I’ve never cheated, so I can only consider this from the perspective of talking to a partner or love interest.

    I would describe someone as “sexy,” perhaps, including directly to that individual if appropriate; but I can’t imagine addressing them as such. I’m all for pet names, but that one seems a bit diminutive.

      I cheated once, in a relationship that had a dead bedroom for years before (her choice), and the moment that happened i walked up to my ex and confessed what happened. She understandably was hurt for a moment, but after some dialogue she realized that this came from a deep sense of feeling abandoned by her, which was the reality of our situation. For her it was always more about parties, concerts and festivals and having someone for that, and when i couldn’t deal with the perma-party anymore, she lost interest in me, while still feeling obligated to not just leave me behind.

      I never watched Desperate Housewives with anyone tho, it was more Breaking Bad and Battlestar Galactica lol, and the pet names were “MausMaus” and “Schatz” - “Mousemouse” and “Treasure”. Nowadays i’d prefer if someone used my real name in a caring way.

          I would never have cheated if i felt in any way physically appreciated in the years before. The temptation wouldn’t have been there in any way if my ex had show interest in me in any way the months before out breakup - it’s not that i didn’t try to make her as comfortable as possible. I am someone who needs physical appreciation (not even sex - just cuddling would have been enough to feel connected), but that simply wasn’t available, and i latched onto someone who cared about my physical and mental needs. I’m not proud about what i’ve done, but it was simply the trigger that made us both realize we needed different things than what we were offering to each other.
