Jennifer Aniston/Brad Pitt - am i missing something?

Normally i could careless about celeb news, as most of it i'm sure is nonsense. But here (in the UK) perhaps were getting a differnt side of things. In the papers, mags, etc... its Jen's tears of Brad. Or Jen's heartache over Brad, etc.... (about him moving on with his life) but if i'm not mistaken, from what we read over here, she filed for divorce. It was her choice to divorce. So why does it matter if he is happy with someone else? I just don't get it.

In my opinion it really doesn't matter who files for divorce. My mom filed for divorce after my dad started an affair with one of his co-workers and moved out. It took him forever to sign the divorce papers too. Was she broken hearted? ABSOLUTELY! After 30 years of marriage I'm not sure she is over it even now.

I agree with Noelle. Even if you are the one to break it off, that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt like heck!

Well, not only that, but it also makes for much more enticing Star Magazine headlines. :)

what do you mean 'why does it matter'? doesn't make the whole process hurt any less, even if it is her choice.

If I knew them personally I might care but I'm not in the habit of feeling one way or another about celebrity's love lives. I think it's ridiculous how people get so wrapped up in this stuff.
 
As you all live in America, i was hoping for a better understanding. Clearly i'm mistaken. Guess the moral here is don't read the papers or ask for on line information.
 
RE: Jennifer Aniston/Brad Pitt - am i missing something...

My only understanding is that Jennifer did file for divorce after Brad told her he wanted out. My understanding is this came about after his and angelina's filming of mr & mrs smith, apparently they got a bit to friendly and he wanted to pursue that...

My understanding is that Jennifer never wanted the divorce and was shocked to find out Brad wanted out.....

That is what I got too, plus he wanted kids, but we will never really know I guess. It just makes me sad because they looked so happy and they were such a beautiful couple.

I don't really know what to beleive b/c you read it all!Or should I say I read it:) My friend always gives me her crazy mags when she is finished with them.
All I have to say and this may be weird, but I was a bit sad when they broke up.I really liked both of them.

In an interview I saw Jennifer said she did want kids, that is why she was surprised when Brad said he wanted OUT.....

It is just a shame with SO MUCH happening in the world, that the NEWS would put one ounce on these celebrities. Most of whom are over paid for NOTHING, if you ask me. Overall, I could care less about these two, or three if you throw in Angelina. I am sure, Jennifer Anniston will move on or hire a shrink to help her DO SO....}(
 
Honestly, WHO CARES. They are both millionairres countless times over, paid for their looks and of no impact to my (or I'm guessing your) life. So they broke up - big deal. Boo hoo - cry me a river. It's sad because they were "such a beautiful couple." Because it's less sad when ugly, poor people break up? Ugh - give me a break. This absolute obsession with celebrities (globally) is frankly disturbing and might I add, more than a tad unhealthy. Shouldn't we be putting our energies toward more important things than whose marriage is lasting more than 10 minutes?

I totally agree...
 
You know, I don't really care much about celebrity gossip, but I'm not going to make someone else feel quilty for asking a question!

So if you think it's a worthless interest, fine, but no need to make someone else feel bad. We all have habits and interests that others find useless. I hate soap operas, but I understand many people love them. My family teases me because I like stupid reality tv shows, but big deal. I'm not going to let anyone tell me what I should or should not care about.

icklemonkey, I bought some coconut oil today because of you. Wish me luck!
 
I thought I would post this because I believe it's appropriate right now. "No one can make you feel bad without your consent" or something like that...Eleanor Roosevelt, I believe.

Some of us have very strong negative feelings regarding celebrity worship. Especially in light of all the tragedy going on in the world with the war in Iraq and hurricanes Katrina and Rita, Brad and Jen's breakup just don't seem that important. The irony is, Brad and Jen would probably agree :)
 
Ok, by my understanding they had been letting the relationship slip for a while. When Jen had filmed the last episode of friends Brad did not come and that was very hard for her. Then she was away filming, and then he was and poof! Brad met Angelia, he became interested. I believe that Jen thought there was no relationship between Brad and Jen but learned differently as pictures surfaced after they had filed for divorce. I think that is were the hurt really hit hard. I know I'd be devistated if I was going through a divorce and learned that while I was feeling sad enough my husband, soon to be ex, was already romancing another woman. Of course, this is puting everything together that I've read and seen on tv in interviews. I try to stay out of tabloid stuff, but this one I've been interested in because I didn't believe for one second that Brad would ever do something like that. That is until Jen came clean and told her side. That was when I finally felt that I was starting to undersand everything and felt bad for Jennifer. But like those before me said, I'm not personal friends with either, I'm reading something out of a tabloid magazine and only listening to one side. I could very easily be wrong about what's gone on.

I took the heart of the question as having little to do with the people involved and more generalized as "if someone files for divorce, does it mean that it's their choice?".

No. It doesn't mean it was their choice...just because they were the one who filed for the divorce. Some lazy asses who don't want to bother with the paper work -- but yet don't want to be married either -- will wait around for the more responsible partner to file the tedious paperwork. And in the US, the one who files is the one who pays for the lawyer.

So maybe Brad is a lazy cheap-ass or maybe not -- but it doesn't necessarily mean that Jen was the one who wanted it.
