Posted on Mar 11, 2010 @ 06:58PM
As Tiger Woods slowly repairs his shattered marriage, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively that his wife Elin was talked out of filing divorce papers by her twin sister Josefin.
Elin hired an Orlando-area divorce attorney after Tiger’s secret serial cheating became public. As more and more mistresses came forward with their stories of sexual encounters with the golfer, Elin told her lawyer to prepare divorce papers and was ready to file.

But sources close to the situation tell RadarOnline.com that it was Josefin who convinced her sister to wait.

Elin and Josefin are extremely close emotionally and Josefin was able to persuade her to wait and not file the divorce papers while her emotions were raw, the sources revealed.

“She was devastated when the first mistress was revealed but when she realized he had betrayed her throughout the marriage she was furious and she wanted out.

“But Josefin has been by her side through ever crisis, and at every key moment during all of this.”
When Elin traveled to Gentle Path in Hattiesburg, Mississippi to participate in Tiger’s rehab therapy for a week, it was Josefin who came and stayed with the children.

“And when more and more women came forward, it was Josefin who told Elin not to file divorce papers out of anger – that she could always file them later,” the source said.
Josefin stressed the importance of doing what was best for the children but never tried to tell Elin her feelings were wrong or her emotions clouded, sources told RadarOnline.com.
Elin discovered Tiger’s affair with Rachel Uchitel on Thanksgiving and confronted him, leading to the golfer’s early morning car ride that end with him smashing into a tree. About a month later he entered rehab.
“When Tiger told Elin he really wanted to change and would do anything to save the marriage, it was Josefin who convinced her sister to give him a chance.”

Don't know the source of this info - sounds contrived/made-up - would a sister encourage her twin to stay with a serial killer, alcoholic, thief, gambler etc etc etc

If she goes back to him then she deserves what she gets! She gives "dumb blonde" a whole new meaning!!

Her sister must not be too bright. You don't stay with a serial cheater "for the kids." They don't benefit from this. He can still be a dad in another house. Run Elin.

There was a story that Elin would go back to him to help him get endorsement deals back. That's all I believe this is. I don't believe he ever loved her, and will go back to Uchitel as soon as he can.

How do you know he ever loved her ?? Are you intimate with him ? Coming back with this Rachel putana will be the height of INSANITY. Elin will never let her children be with this W-ORE never ever ever.

She has a right to hold on to her marriage. It's up to her and her husband to decide how to live their lives, no one else here can tell them what to do. Hopefully, they can make it work.

Yes Angie totally OK with what you said. This is HER life, HER decision and HER choice and has nothing to do with any of us and especially the media. This is a private matter plain and simple !!!!
