Angelina Jolie

[PrayersForMaura]

Children should be discussed before marriage. If my husband had changed his mind and didnt want children I would have left him and found a partner that did want a family.

Maybe she just wanted to wait a bit. Who knows. Maybe she lost a baby, had a miscarriage. We don't know for sure.
Angelina sure was ready to jump in the sack and give him what he wanted.
I guess it's all about giving him what he wants
Marriage is about compromise and working things out together, when it's right for both parties. Parenting isn't something to take lightly. Brad isn't the most mature person (obviously). Just because one WANTS kids doesn't mean they will make a good parent. I would hope he teaches his child to honor and respect women, but we each raise our children differntly, and I only have to worry about how I raise mine, not how he raises his.

Jennifer also has had some issues to deal with regarding her parents that float in and out of the press. Perhaps that has played a factor in her waiting to have kids.

Maybe Jenn is not the one in the relationship who was about
"me me me". Maybe it was Brad.

i've thought all along that Jen was doing just that....spin control..

Brad's said all along from the get-go, he wanted children...i would guess that was discussed while they were dating & i have to assume that Aniston was all for it as some point prior to the marriage...she got the "hollywood bug", imo & decided she wasn't ready for children......as i said on another board, if you snooze, you lose Jen :loser:

Maybe she DID want kids. Then after a year or two of marriage Brad started showing his true colors, and perhaps she didn't want to bring a child into a marriage that wasn't rock solid just so he could have what he wanted at the very moment he wanted it. If that's true, more power to her. Way too many people think that if their marriage isn't solid, that they should have a couple of kids to "fix" it....:banghead:

Ladies, please......

Not a single person here knows a thing about JA, BP, or AJ. I do know that BP didn't do badly for himself on either front but....

JA could be a bee-otch as could AJ. BP could be a closet freak of some sort. We don't know what went on in either situation.....the marriage could have effectively been over long before AJ entered the picture. It could be that neither wanted kids. I dunno and neither do you.

All the hysterical women I talk to around work just hate AJ and I don't know why. They assume that JA is the victim but she certainly didn't seem like it unless she coded and vince Vonmosthorribleactorever was trying to give her CPR and clear her airway with his tongue at the same time.

On a side note, who really wants to be the next man to sleep with JA and have to follow BP's performance?

Wasn't there a report a few years ago that Jennifer Aniston was pregnant, then it was reported that she miscarried. It was never confirmed, but from the reporting it sounded true. I am trying to think of when it was, *maybe* right before she started filming for Bruce Almighty, or Along came Polly. I could be completely wrong, but I thought I had heard that.

On another note, I heard a psychic talking on my local news about 2006 predictions. Brad and Angelina were meant to be together and they are going to do alot of good things for other countries and they were going to adopt a few more kids. She said nothing about the pregnancy. I do not believe what they have to say, but thought it was interesting that it was said they were meant for each other and they were going to do alot of good things together.

I also think that if I were Brad Pitt I would be worried about Angelina's leading men (or woman) with her track record. Maybe children will settle that, or Brad's bank account will be hurt by having to pay child support for three kids.

Oh well, I just thought I would add that I thought at one time JA was pregnant, but lost the baby. :waitasec:

Never marry a man who cheats on his wife to be with you. Duh.

:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

 

[christine2448]

Never get involved with a woman that carried around a vial of her former husbands blood around her neck and french kisses her brother :sick: :sick:

LOL, I forgot about that stuff!

As a matter of generalizations....and I may get stoned, tarred, and feathered for saying this.

But generally (leaving love out of the picture), when given the opportunity a man will gravitate towards a sexually aggressive woman over a non-sexually aggressive woman each and every time. Men want their wives to be like June Cleaver around friends and family but like Jenna Jamison at night and during the day and in the morning and at twilight and at dusk. Just like women like the 'bad guy'.

The vibe I get is that AJ is a very sexually aggressive woman who is going to keep any man's attention--sort of the dirty girl persona. My impression of JA is that she is more of the wine me, dine me, not until you shower and I get to cuddle kind of person.

So the lesson here for all women is that if you want to keep your man and if you want to keep your man happy, be more like we perceive AJ and less like JA. He will be much happier and so will you.

Tar and feather away. I don't mean any of this to be offensive but more a sociological look at why men are PIGS!

Flame, tar, feather......

I am not saying women should be tramps and and crazy. But don't kill the messenger, it is the truth!

Men want a woman who enjoys 'activities' and is open and free and not using it as a weapon and letting it be a last resort.

Maybe I should have phrased my statement as "be more wild and crazy and less reserved".

JMHO,

Not me! I think Angelina is a beautiful person. You can tell by the pictures of her taken on her goodwill tours that it absolutely fulfills her working with and helping those less fortunate than her. She just dazzles in the company of those children. They have no clue how famous she is, nor do they care, I'm sure. All they know is she is using what she has to make a change in their lives. She has a drive and is trying to make a difference in the world. No wonder Brad was so drawn to her! A woman that has confidence, a sense of self and a purpose is so much more attractive than a woman who smokes two packs o' cigs a day, dances on top of bars and worries only about which club, spa or fashion show she'll hit next.
As for Angelina's past...please, we all have one! Geesh, Lord knows I did some silly things...we all did! But who cares? Should we all have to live down our past folleys forever? Obviously, being a mom changed her like it does so many of us. Besides, with enough courage, you don't need a reputation! Angie goes for it...that is why she's got it. Jen should have been a little less self centered and taken care of her man a little more. You reap what you sow. Anything left neglected will not flourish & truly happy men don't stray! Brad couldn't help himself...who could? I think other women are just scorned because they can relate more to Jen than Angie...sad as that is.

Not that I agree with infidelity, and I am sorry Jen was so hurt, I know exactly what that feels like, but we really don't know what happened, do we? Maybe Brad did wait until he & Jen were split before actually pursuing a real relationship with Angie. Maybe he didn't technically cheat. No one knows but the three (or two) of them. I do know that there comes a point in most everyone's life when you just can't deny yourself what you need or want any longer. Why should Brad suffer in an unfulfilling marriage just because the public wants he & Jen together? He's a movie star, not a martyr.
Have ya ever fallen head over heels for someone no matter how hard you tried not to? And if that feeling is reciprocated, it is nearly impossible to maintain control of what is right and what is wrong. Why should we and who truly judges right from wrong for us anyway? Be happy! Ya only get one go 'round! I think everything happens for a reason. It usually hurts the other people involved but eventually they pick up, move on and know theirselves better as a person from it. It should be done with honor but human nature doesn't always relate to that when we have stars in our eyes. That's life. We all live and learn.
True, deep, maddening, passionate love; it's what most of us long for. If they have it, which it looks to me like they do, then I say more power to them. I wish them the best.

I could go on & on about this because I get so sick of everyone bashing Angelina. She should not have to defend herself as a decent person. Let her actions for the lesser of the world speak for her. If we are judged as to who we are as a person by our relationship practices, then I think there's a whole lot of us falling short of saint. She didn't make Brad do anything he didn't want to do. Jen just didn't have what it took to keep him.

BTW, anyone who read what I posted about Lance and Sheryl on the other thread might think I'm a hypocrite, but to me, there is a big difference between a man who takes up with a good-time girl when he has three little children to consider and a man who just needs more purpose in his life and a partner who shares who he is and where he's heading.
jmo, though! :blowkiss:

Exactly! They want a lady on the street and a freak in the bed...:woohoo: :crazy:

It's all about being the alpha female :dance:

When you are married whether you sleep with the other person you are attracted to or not doesn't matter. Infidelity isn't just physical; thinking about it or lusting after someone other than your spouse is the same. IMO

Well, it is true.

I am not talking about coming home late at night with a girfriend for a french tryst or buying whips and chains.

I am talking about making relations a priority and making it enjoyable rather than 'just another chore' like some women make it seem. That's reality. Keep it lively like it was before or right after marriage. Cause, let's face it ladies....we men are like Dogs and it is always fun, exciting and new. Out of all the married couples I know, I can't tell you how many times that I hear the husbands complain because the wife is like "Again? It was just last week". The wives use it like a weapon and often brush off the man's attempts with disdain at times. So what I am saying is that generally the wife/woman becomes disenchanted and relations become something to be done on holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, when they get time, etc. much more than men. Men don't think this way. It's like "oh boy oh boy a naked woman".

So take it for what it is worth. But there are a lot of very aggressive women out there and sometimes when the kindling is dry, all it takes is one spark for your man to be down the road.

Given that, we men pretty much need to work on everything we do and are supposed to do with the possible exception of changing oil. We have that down.

Ah Ember, will you marry me? You got it.

What was it Tyson said to Rita Cosby about her being a 'Lady on the street and a ho in the sheets'. I about fell out when he said THAT!

I don't ever advocate doing anything that makes a woman uncomfortable or is abusive.

But there is one simple truth that I have told my wife many times over when AJ/JA situations come up or someone we know strays......

While there are no certainties, if a man is so sexually over satisfied by his woman (whatever that entails between them), he will be too tired to stray. We aren't very complicated beings, feed us and satisfy us and we won't even notice all the money you spend! Seriously, though, unless a man is just a pig he will never stray if he is too worn out to stray.

On the other hand, there are responsibilities men have also. Women need different things like emotional support, romance, and affection. Likewise, I don't know any women who ever strayed when their husbands did the small things (dates out, candlelit dinners, notes of love, etc.).

It really isn't all that difficult!

Boy, oh, boy! I better stop drolling over Matthew McConahay now or I might be cheating...yeah right, only when I'm dead will I stop looking or thinking "mmm, yummy!" when I see fine specimen of the male species worthy of my lust.

I consider myself extremely faithfull to my husband. Never would cheat on him. I am tested every day on that. I work with soldiers and am the only girl in the whole armory and I'm quite cute (not to blow my own horn), but my point is, I'm human! I'm gonna look, maybe even lust, but not act. :hand:
Just because you're on a diet doesn't mean you can't read the MENu!
I think it's only healthy...but then again, I'm way more like Angie than Jen. I could never be that high maintenance...
