Question by Cesaria Barbarossa – 40K: How do you feel about Tiger and Jesse making infidelity an addiction problem that needs treatment, not scorn?
Also forgot Eric Benet, Halle Berry’s ex-husband who said he had a sex addiction and went ot treatment after cheating.

What do you think about this new trend that infidelity should be looked at as signs of an addiction that needs treatment. Does this give infidelity less of a stigma if it’s treated as a psychological problem, moreso than a problem of selfishness and lack of self-control?

Do you think this would fly in “real life?”

Best answer:

Answer by Caroline
Even though I was a psych major in college, I’d like to think I’m also a realist. Sex addiction, like alcoholism or drug addiction, may very well be a “condition” but I personally think no-one held a gun to Tiger’s head, he knew what he was doing, he certainly knew the possible consequences, and he CHOSE to do it anyway. And to me, a sex addict doesn’t create relationships, such as they are, like Tiger and Jesse did with their “other women”. So I think it’s complete BS. I feel sorry for the wives in all of those cases. I was cheated on by a boyfriend and it was totally humiliating so I can only imagine how Sandra, etc. feel because their humiliation is splashed all over the front page. Yea, they need treatment. With a Louisville Slugger. Jerks.

I think they should seek help for themselves I don’t think the act of doing that fixes anything tho.
