Comments on: Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston Separate http://www.outsidethebeltway.com/archives/brad_pitt_and_jennifer_aniston_split/ Online Journal of Politics and Foreign Affairs Thu, 26 Nov 2009 04:32:40 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Ashley Loomis http://www.outsidethebeltway.com/archives/brad_pitt_and_jennifer_aniston_split/comment-page-1/#comment-31581 Ashley Loomis Wed, 12 Jan 2005 06:01:19 +0000 /?p=8726#comment-31581 To Brad & Jennifer Pitt: We are a couple that are in our early 50's, having seen our 3 children grown, and are expecting our 8th grandchild. The years go by so fast,we have seen each other though hard times, sickness,& have had our ups's and down's. We are so blessed to have a beautiful home,fancy cars, lovely jewlery, nice vacations. But in our lives, we have put God first, each other next, then family, church, friends etc. When times were hard,or some things that can drive you crazy about your spouse, you have to try & remember when you first fell in love with each other, not just the physical attraction, but the good things that made your heart go pitter-patter when that "special person walked in the room",and through the years as the children grow up, leave the home, start their own family's you look back and say "wow" where did those years go? How did I get to be this age? And you realize it's just the 2 of you again! And you have a peace that whew some how, you made it though. You can have wealth, alot of things, but that's just it, it just "stuff", and you can loose it all in a minuet, but when you have each other still, that is when you realize the most having someone to grow old with, to still love, to still feel that pitter-patter when he-she walks in the room, and it's like when you were young again. Life is so short, and so many people just give up on each other, something I've learned is,you can't always change someone else, but when we change what needs to be changed in ourselves first then others see that, our love ones see that, and they think hmm, maybe I need to do that as well. If you put the other person first before anything else, and sometimes you have to stop doing things that might keep you apart for a while, and totality work on listening to what you spouse is saying, trying to tell you, it's a 50-50 give and take, we must give to each other 100% first, before we can give to outside things, not to be afriad to say" I was wrong" and ask for forgiveness, and have the spouse accept and forgive, and let go of the what ever it was. Sometimes and so sadly so many couples after 5-7-10 years give up, or think maybe someone else might make us happier, now if a spouse is abusive,physically or mentally, to a spouse, or any children, that is not acceptable. Even in God's eyes, but when it's the "little" stuff that drives you nuts sometimes, or allowing distance to keep you apart for long periods, that is not what you want to have in your marriage, as we need to be together, to hold and love each other. Love sometimes may only find us once in a life time, sometimes things do happen that cause people to seperate, and maybe devorce, sometimes love may come again, if you are blessed to find that "next love", but when so many people keep getting married 1-2-3 and more times, they will never be happy in the end, so in your youth if you find that unconditional love hang onto it like it is worth gold, fight for it, even when you don't feel like the fight is worth it, if you do fight for it, you'll see after the years go by, and look back, you also be able to say "whew" we made it, we did it, we still have each other, and when we are gone and no longer here on this earth, our children, and grand children, and hopefully our great grand children will have learned the most valulable lesson to pass on to "our future" generations that loving one another is "God's" greatest commandment He gave to us. We pray for you two that this thing will pass, and that you will make it though these "hard" times, and years down the road be able to look back and say" ahh we are so glad and blessed that we stuck it out, together!

Now I have to bit my teeth in rage when CNN, court tv, Entertainment tonight...will telecast and talk on and on and on about the Michael Jackson fiasco in a few weeks. God save me.

I can see why people would want to marry those with whom they have something in common. Being in the public eye might be one of those things that must be experienced in order to be truly understood.

What possible difference does their relationship make to anyone's life--except, of course, those who are acquainted with the couple? Why is the Associated Press even covering it? What two consenting adults choose to do with regard to their relationship is their business. Who cares that--as Dave Schuler seems to lament--"in Hollywood these days there’s practically no support system for marriage"? For crying out loud! These people are mature, rich adults. If they want to split up, great. Who cares? The big outrage here is that these people are pretentious enough to think that their personal travails are of such importance that they feel compelled to send their publicist out with a statement!

Essentially they are more a business arrangement than a real marriage. Why do these stars feel the need to romance and marry another big name? Are they so totally taken in by their celebrity that their value system only allows them to seek another celebrity, as the mere fact of celebrity is proof of a person's worth? I think the more stable marriages are between a star and someone who isn't an "equal" in the business, someone who's more content to stay in the background and help the main bread winner, in the way a traditional marriage used to work. I know these views aren't necessarily PC, but just my $0.02. I've never understood these Hollywood marriages. Essentially they are more a business arrangement than a real marriage.

This hasn't always been true. Years ago if they went out to find it major stars could find a support system of other major stars (like James Stewart and Bob Hope) who were not only committed to their marriages but to the idea of marriage. It's a lot harder nowadays. Additionally, in Hollywood these days there's practically no support system for marriage. This hasn't always been true.
