I was watching Oprah months ago when I was supposed to be finding the best way to sell my downloadable e-guides and videos, but watching Oprah was way more fun. Anyway, she had Jennifer Anniston on of Friends fame. They were talking about her recent Vogue cover where she stated what Angelina did was uncool.
In case you’ve been living in a cave for some time now, I’ll update you on the soap opera which so closely mirrors my life. Jennifer Anniston and Brad Pitt were married. Beautiful couple, envy of all. Brad went off to work on a movie with Angelina Jolie. They fell in love (I’m sure it was lust first). Brad ended up leaving his wife Jennifer and having lots of kids with Angelina. Bummer.
Jennifer Anniston in an interview with Vogue magazine said it was uncool that Angelina would say that she hopes her children would watch the movie her and Brad were in and know this is when they fell in love. “Look kids, daddy is married to someone else. I was a home wrecker and had no morals. Let’s hope this will happen to you one day. That you’ll be the home wrecker, not the betrayed. Now let’s go adopt you another sibling!”
Now that I’m divorced, I can completely relate with Jennifer Anniston. Heck, I am Jennifer Anniston! I’m young, beautiful, and got betrayed by my husband and his skanky co-worker. I guess in my life, my ex would be the black Brad Pitt. Just with dreadlocks. And less money. And the co-worker he fell in lust with would be Angelina Jolie. Just not as hot. Or hot at all.
This is why when they drop my kids off after visiting with their dad she makes him park 2 blocks away so I can’t see her. Guilt is a bitch. Just like her. And Angelina.
Just like Angelina, I once thought my ex’s new love was a nice girl. I had met her many times, had dinner, and went out with her. She was cool. Until she stole my husband. I have two words to say to her…”Thank you.”
Thank you to all the Brad Pitts and Angelina Jolie’s of the world. It gives us Jennifer Anniston’s and Guy Ritchie’s (oh Madonna, why, why do you have to be in the Angelina category?) a chance to move on to better things. You deserve a man who thinks your body is a wonderland (get it, a Wonderland?!) You also deserve to love and trust someone who can do something as simple as go to work and not cheat on you. I agree Jen, very uncool.

Any bad/unhappy ending is an opportunity/opening for something/someone new and better. As human beings we're a mix of good and bad, wonderful and not so wonderful. There was something wonderful about your ex- and the father of your children or you wouldn't have gotten together with him. Now that he's with someone else, maybe you feel nothing was ever there and it was all a lie.
If your divorce is new and raw, I know how deep and strong the bitterness can run. I identified with Medea's emotions - so crazed with pain by Jason's betrayal that she killed their children. I'm 56 years old with a lot of relationships under my belt. Most of my friends & I learned that holding on to the anger wasn’t worth the time, energy, stress, and cost to our mental/emotional/physical health (not to mention to the children) – holding us back to our past and keeping us from the joy& happiness in our future.
hey, why do you (Jen and you)get so sad about divorce with a guys without much brain? So Brad Pitt is an stupid, let give him to Angelina, they do a good couple, just two donkey donkey. I think Jen is a clever girl, if she loose Brad it doesn't matter, that guy wasn't enough for her, she needs another guy, clever as her. Come on why does it hurt so much that Angelina took him for herlself? Angelina was making a gift to our Jen. Why does Jen have to feel terrible for broking up with a babyface donkey? She is a natural beauty, she has an amazing body, she is so elegant, just a clever girl, she is funny,she have fortune, etc. She would have the man she wants. But i mean interest man. And if your man leave you for a much younger girl that means for me he has a man middle age crisis. Forget him, a lost case, don't cry baby, the other girl didn't found the great thing, you know he has big defects :) just say her : come on girl it's all yours, i don't send me him again. You wanted him so you have him.Who cares about a dirty potatoes bag. Sometimes people do favours us and we don't have the education to say "thank you". Darling i give you an advice : there are other things most important to spend your tears. Don't give your time to a man who can't understand you and who thinks an stupid girl is better than you. Try other things to get better your life, enjoy with your patners, friends, be happy with your kids, study things that you like, take some hoobies. Don't say oh i'm uggly, fat, old woman nobody would like me, my unique love, the man of my life, my soul mate, the most handsome man of the world... left me for that home wreker b****. What can i do?, i will dye ALONE. This is not the end of the world. Leave your life and let them to destroy their lifes to each other. We know perfectly some day, some moment they will discover for each side each some hidden lover or at least they would suspect about them and i'm sure this will be an idea which comes and goes by the rest of their life. And i must say to live with a kind of person like this... Give me a break!
Great Article... For me, Pitt's the real loser. He's the one who broke his promises and then cared more about his reputation than protecting either woman. Divorce is so difficult. I cannot imagine what the Aniston - Pitt - Jolie drama has taken from these three people. I hope that all three get the chance to move on in their lives... Or, get paid a billion dollars to do a reality television show. I'm embarrassed to say I'd watch - along with everyone I know. What's wrong with us? It's as your article says... We've either been through it as one of the players or we fear it above all else.
I know it hurts darling, but it's called the "gift of goodbye". You are better off without him and I'm not just saying that to make you feel better. It's true, you deserve someone you can trust with your love and he wasn't that man. I actually think Jen learned that. I mean look at her and then look at Brad and Angelina. They look old, haggard and miserable and so do their kids. Jen on the other hand has never looked more beautiful or happy. I think she is free of all of the mental and emtional pain. Remember when Jolie was supposed to be sexier and more beautiful? Not anymore. Jen looks younger then Angelina now. It's called living well. Do like Jen did and give yourself time to recover and think about what you want and that's got nothing to do with your ex and his mistess. Whatever Jen has been doing, it's worked wonders. She's happy and free. She knows Brad wasn't all of that and now he's nothing. Who cares about the ex and the other woman. They are nothing. It's about you baby girl so live your life. There are infinite wasy in this life to be happy. Jen learned that and so can you.
Best wishes.
ooh give me a break. If Jen is that beautiful why cant she keep other men(now 3 after Brad)! Time to move on girls!! Leave Brangelinas alone.
I love it when women blame the other woman and not the man. You are just projecting your insecurities. No one can break up a happy marriage, trust me. I have been married for 22 years, surrounded by skanks. Maybe the problem was you. You seem to be spewing a lot of venom for someone so unworthy. Bitterness and spite are never attractive to anyone.
I am amazed at how many people think there is something wrong with a woman being sad and angry that she was betrayed by her husband. The lack of empathy is just digusting. Anger and bitterness may be unattractive, but so is being a skank who sleeps with other women's husbands. And as for Jen and her relationships, Angelina is a twice divorced woman who now has 6 kids with a man who won't marry her so I guess she isn't all that either. Beyonce said it best "If he likes it he'll put a ring on it". All her "beauty" got her was the status of a mistress turned babymama. Six kids and no ring, now that's pathetic? I'd take Jen's life over Jolie's anyday. Let's see how Jolie's love life goes when Brad dumps her. Old woman in a shoe comes to my mind.
What a stupid article, by someone who obviously hasn't moved on. Why Angelina has been ridiculed fir so long is beyond me, surley the time had come for everyone, including Aniston, to now take this relationship serious. For goodness sake if it wasn't, there is no way it would have lasted this long, kids or no kids. I think it's about time Angelina, Brad and their kids got some sort of respect with regards to their relationship. It's no longer about a woman stealing a man anymore ( I doubt if that was the case anyway- you can't steal a person if they didn't want to go in the first place), it's now about their family withOUT Aniston, their is absolutely no connection their anymore. Why Angelina is continuing to get a hard time about this is disgraceful!!!!. I have read on a few occassions that it was Brad that wanted to begin a relationship with her!!!. The dispicable way she has been portrayed and how she is being talked about in such a degrading way by other woman is sad!!!
You're not JA and your OW is not AJ. JA was right when she said, "There is no bad guy." BP wanted something different and was bold enough to live the life he wanted. He said a million times he wanted kids. He wanted his life to mean something. He has since done a lot of charity work and has 6 kids. I don't know how that makes him a bad guy. He has never bad-talked JA. I think it's a gentlemanly as it could be under the circumstances. Whipping up an age-old story only gets reactions because of people like you who have been there. Just let it go. You will all be happier.
Firstly, was that a happy marriage? they seemed apart more than together for the last 2 years. Were there children involved? This is the JA fanbase, jilted women who blame the other woman, not their husbands (and certainly not themselves)for the demise of their relationship(s). If BP were happy he would not have left, and I'm sure the authors ex husband felt the same way. Maybe the "other" woman doesn't want to go through a scene with someone who obviously is not over it and blames her, especially in front of the children.
Spellcheck...You spelled Aniston incorrectly throughout your piece.
Kim’s story is *her* truth, but isn’t necessarily THE truth – we haven’t heard all sides. Women have left men for other men, men have left women for men, women have left men for women, triangles have consisted of all men and all women. Kim’s example is a stereotype – a sexist stereotype that holds an outsider evil dark (brunette) witch woman who seduces a helpless innocent man from a blonde woman in a perfect All-American marriage. It’s very convenient to place all the blame in a bad marriage outside of the two people most responsible for it, as if they had nothing to do with it and didn’t live it every day. As Joyce McFadden in Huffington Post said, “The Other Woman [Man] Can't Break Up Your Marriage. It's Impossible.”
Please Please Please let this subject rest. It's been 4 long years. Enough is enough. Jenn needs to go get her a man and please don't talk about A/B to him, then maybe you can keep him. I used to just love Jenn but all this going on and on about B/A has really made me dislike her for her immaturity. I know lots of women (including myself) who have lost their husbands to other women, well I didn't let it rule my everyday life for years after. I got over it and didn't complain to anyone that would listen about it. As long as you hold on to the grief, it will fester into a big ole' boil that you can't ever get rid of and makes you constantly in pain. NOT WORTH IT TO YOU OR ANYONE AROUND YOU!!!!
Brad and Jenn were not meant to be together. That is that. Should Brad have stayed with Jenn and not been in love with her. These women need to get over thiersleves and move on and not blame anybody. Things happen.
Get over it, really. Jeez, the real lesson for you is that being "hot" like you describe yourself has nothing to do with anything!!Not to mention being a little one-dimensional...Listen, do yourself a favor and try really hard to think about someone else besides yourself (ie do something meaningful with all that energy you have to be self absorbed) Maybe thats why your hubby is now with a "skank" hmmmm?
That's not how love works. REAL love doesn't lie, betray, or cheat - physically and/or mentally. Relationships go through cycles. There will be times when it gets challenging. Someone with integrity will WORK THOUGH it.. as AGREED beforehand in the wedding VOWS. The few that have this integrity find that AFTER the challenges an even DEEPER LOVE blossoms. The one that comes with working through the challenges together. The society also improves because kids are not growing up in split homes (something devastating to HEALTHY development).
Brad acted without integrity, as did Angelina. Yes, she was a home-wrecker, and so was he.
In any event, as long as people see this behavior as an acceptable path to follow, then everyone will suffer. HURRAY for anyone who stands up with integrity and stays true to their commitments and family. That is real maturity. And that is the only way to ever experience TRUE love. It comes from working things out TOGETHER for better and for worse each and every day!
Amazing. There is NO excuse for cheating. If you want to leave, LEAVE... THEN have sex if you must. Don't blame THIS writer for her scumbag ex.
Now, if you REALLY want to know if a "she" is telling the truth, check to see if she will put it in print, name names, dates, and places. If she lies, she will be SUED. If she is HONEST, she will NOT be sued. How do I know? MY WIFE did exactly THAT and is a Divorce Examiner in Houston. She authored, Up Against Evil, which can be seen at www.UpAgainstEvil.com. And yes, it names the PEOPLE INVOLVED.
Angelina saw a good thing, she is selfish and self-absorberd through and through. She's shown herself even in her relationship with Brad. Temper, temper Ange. It makes him bow down to her. Jen is not a cry baby, she's the victim & the villian shot into by a cold calculating women. But you know what's the worst, is how those six kids will turn out, a complete mess. Pregnant again Ange, another life to mess up. Brad deserves every ounce of heartache Angelina's gonna vomit, move over Paul McCartney here comes another one. Maybe worse off...
I can relate. He wasn't for you. Can you look back and see any signs that he really wasn't? Hindsight. I know a lot of us don't know until it's too late. It's not your faught. Doesn't it piss you off more thinking about the wasted time on him?
Got something to say?
