I have been thinking of the explanation that Jennifer Aniston gave why Brad Pitt left her for Angelina Jolie. This wouldn't be big news except for the fact that while Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have found tremendous happiness, Jen has struggled. Her relationships with John Mayer and Vince Vaughn did not work out. It seems that the only places she finds love is in the movies. How ironical!

Millions of people still wonder why did Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston divorce. The question has intrigued me even more considering that Brad Pitt is so happy with Angelina Jolie and not only has chosen not to get married but has had children with her.

In an earlier interview with Vanity Fair Jennifer Aniston shared some reasons for the divorce but we now have some more information. She says in an interview:

"I think it's laziness. I think a good relationship is about collaboration. I think you just need to talk to each other. Say what you need. Say what you want. That way it's not threatening. You just need to say, 'This is important to me.' Don't expect your mate to read your mind...I think that's because it's just instinctual as a woman to be the caretaker of your home. Women complain that men don't do enough, but it's your own fault. You train your man to do nothing. You can't blame someone for not knowing what his or her job should be if you don't ask for it right off the bat...I think it's important to have closure in any relationship that ends - from a romantic relationship to a friendship. You should always have a sense of clarity at the end and know why it began and why it ended. You need that in your life to move cleanly into your next phase."

Looks like I am getting some insights into why Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston divorced.

Like millions of other people, at one time, Brad Pitt was in love with Angie while still married to Aniston. Yeah, they called themselves Brangelina.

And no, we are not hearing it from the gossip mongers. Angelina herself admits to The Times that when her children grow up she would like them to watch the movie “Mr. & Mrs. Smith.” According to her, “Not a lot of people get to see a movie where their parents fell in love.”

Apart from the interesting title, it is also important to understand that at the time of making this film, Brad was legally married to Jennifer. In other words Brad committed adultery.

The irony is that Brad is now with his girl and they are parents to a busload of children but after dating Vince Vaughan and John Mayer, Jennifer Aniston is still single.

John Mayer is a very weird guy. He first abused Jessica Simpson when she followed him a like a pet and genuinely believed that he was in love with her. He dumped her like a used napkin.

Cameron Diaz also got the wrong impression that John Mayer liked her, but thankfully, she was smart enough to realize her mistake.

Then a very desperate Jennifer Aniston who has still not recovered from her divorce from Brad Pitt and that was obvious how she tried to impose herself on Vince Vaughan.

I am a big supporters of cougars dating younger men but I was not very optimistic that the relationship with John Mayer will last.

As expected, the relationship ended without a word of warning. Apparently no cheating is involved. "People are different, people have different chemistry," said Mayer. "I ended a relationship to be alone, because I don't want to waste somebody's time if something's not right."

I am sure that Aniston will definitely appreciate this. Ladies, the message here is that no matter how romantic the guy comes across as, if you impose yourself on him, eventually he will dump you, and you are the one who is going to suffer from a heartbreak, because he would have learned the tricks to do the same to another girl and get better at it.

Denise Richards has gone through a lot. After divorce from Charlie Sheen, her relationship with Richie Sambora did not last and her friendship with Heather Locklear also ended. Now to add salt to her wounds, she finds out that Charlie Sheen is engaged to Brooke Mueller.

Life turns out to be so difficult for some people after divorce. Brad Pitt is a happy man with Angelina Jolie after his divorce from Jennifer Aniston, who has not found a lasting relationship yet. Nick Lachey is ready to marry while Jessica Simpson is having a tough time dating. Other Hollywood stars seem to have given up on dating.

To make things worse for Denise Richards, she had to tell People magazine that "I am genuinely happy for the two of them. In fact, I sent them flowers to congratulate them both. I've spent time with her, and my girls really like her. That's all that matters to me." Ouch.

Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy will not marry

In a recent interview, Jim Carrey said great things about his current girlfriend Jenny McCarthy, but he said that they will never marry. There are other famous Hollywood couples that are doing the same. Oprah and Stedman Graham, Brangelina, and Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. Stars like Geri Halliwell have even given up hope of finding love again. And of course, there are millions of couples that are living together before marriage and even becoming parents.

This is understandable considering the high rate of divorce and all the legal and emotional complications that result from it. And it is not just couples who have been married before; even couples who are with their highschool sweethearts are finding that if they don't get married, they won't have to deal with divorce.

Jim Carrey has been married twice before to Lauren Holly and Melissa Womer, while Jenny McCarthy was married to John Asher.

What should you do?

My recommendation is that do what works for you. In any case, a wedding is only for entertainment purposes now, and the major benefit of marriage may simply be the tax breaks, if any. Otherwise, you don't have to be married to enjoy "marital bliss" as long as you are in a monogamous relationship, though some couples find happiness even in polyamorous or open relationships.
