I vote for #1 and #2 as well. The "shininess" has worn off IMO. Brad Pitt also went from 0 to 6 children in a couple years...I bet he never realized what he was really in for. And now apparently Angelinho doesn't like Obama like he does. :gobble:

Many a good man has failed because he had a wishbone where his backbone should have been.

We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face... we must do that which we think we cannot.

When I discovered they were cheating it was the look he had in his eyes as he told me he was torn between loving her and having kids with me and being M to me and raising his kids. I gladly let him go. Of course after I left he tried to change his mind but I knew that we M too young and were not made for each other. Even though he and his W had an A during our M, I truly do love his W and she is so good to the child my XH and I share together. Of course my XH is now cheating on her and exhibiting the same behavior he did with me. I don't talk to him but I have a friendly relationship with her and he is an awful H once again. I was never mad at her because even though I didn't cheat on my XH, I wanted out of the M so badly and I was actually glad to get out. I actually feel sorry for her because I know how bad he can be.

So, I think sometimes we marry the wrong ppl and everyone has a right to end a M if they don't want to be in it. I even told my current H when I found out that he cheated that if he found someone else and I wasn't the one I would let him go as bad as it would hurt me. I love my current H much more than I ever loved my XH and even though he had an A, I believe that we were made for each other.

I would rather my H leave me than to continue to cheat on me if I am not the woman he wants but that is just me.


How about when people marry the wrong person they divorce instead of waiting until they find the "right" person by cheating....I think I know why, BECAUSE that is the EXCUSE that waywards use when they CHEAT. I mean if you keep jumping from marriage to marriage and keep finding the new "RIGHT" person, why bother getting married....

Exactly--if you are going to behave that way, do a George Clooney. That way when you get tired of someone, there is no marriage so you don't have to go through a divorce...

Here's something I ran across today, and I immediately thought of this thread. Looks like they're done. Never lasts.

According to the article
Quote
The News of The World reports that the couple, who have never legally wed but have six children together as well as several businesses and homes, have secretly consulted with divorce lawyers and signed a $205 million split deal.
Why do they need divorce attorneys if they have never wed?

I don't think a pair of crazies like those two, with that much stuff and all those kids, could have either the skill or the integrity to divide things equitably. Maybe not even with attorneys. Well, at least the integrity part; you'd think the attorneys would, at a minimum, bring some skill.MrRollieEyes

Some good comments on there too, well what few I read were....I guess there are some people who were not idolizing them and thinking they were the golden couple....there are still people who think infidelity is cruel.

Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward. If it wasn't "successful", it was certainly LONG!

Either Anniston has a great publicist, or she just lives life on a higher moral plain than Jolie. I just can't imagine her pulling 1/8th of the crap on Brad that he's gotten from Angelina.

And she looks WAY better than Angie, too.

so much for true "lurve" and "soulmates!" Time to move onto the next "soul mate!" laugh

Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson - married since 1988, but he was married with two young children when they met and started their affair. It always bothers me that he's regarded as such a straight-up guy.

I know of a BS (not WS) that was very successful after the first spouse left....

Apparently their assets are quite intertwined and they own several homes and businesses together. The divorce attorneys are to help unwind some of those agreements legally, since they have the most experience.
