Losing Elin? - Tiger Woods

With all eyes focused on the fallout from his affairs, the latest reports tell that Tiger Woods may be headed for a split with his wife, Elin Nordegren.

According to multiple reports, the Swedish beauty is said to be in secret talks with divorce lawyers - with plans of breaking things off after the holidays.

“Elin will pretend it’s the usual family celebration for the children and then ditch the man,” a source said. “In the short-term they’ll act like any other loving couple. Elin won’t break it all up right away. But she does need some time alone to herself and a legal separation will happen very quickly.”

A News of the World source tells of the situation, “Elin’s understandably mad at Tiger, but she’s hurting for him too. And she won’t make Daddy, or Poppa as they call him, the bad guy — no matter how much she’s suffering. Her anger is now mixed with some sadness involving Tiger and his state of mind and health right now. She’s definitely going to Sweden though and at the moment sees it as a permanent move. And that means Tiger will have to fly back and forth to see his kids. But they’re all used to that, and to being gone all the time.”

The insider continues, “Elin’s in constant turmoil with all these thoughts going round in her head. It’s a confusing and emotional time. Her own parents’ divorce affected her immensely, so she’s not taking this decision lightly at all. He doesn’t want to break up the family unit without serious consideration. She needs to think about what’s best for their children. What she wants changes all the time. She’s actually less angry now. And a sad element is really affecting her. She’s very, very sad. She simply can’t believe that the man she loves, the father of her two children, would do all of these things and act the way he’s being portrayed. It’s too much to take in all at once.”

As for what’s next, a friend tells, “Her options have been laid out on the table, the pros and cons of staying or going. That certainly means financially and with regards to the kids and custody, that sort of thing.”
