Jennifer Aniston - A Homewrecker

[SabrinaNicole]

Well my thought on this is how many generation Xers who haven't married think that their live in relationship means anything. Obviously, it doesn't. Also of course Jennifer got cheated on.... it must be her karma. And she IS desperate to be involved with someone, has to do with her south node. Most would say no one can really know what was going on with Justin & Heidi etc which doesn't address the fact that she is said to be humiliated and feels jilted by the whole thing. It's old fashioned but living together long term is obviously crap. Justin & Jennifer's relationship likely won't last and will just add more fodder for those of us who are cynical and jaded.

Well, I certainly wasn't assuming anything, but even if a relationship is rocky, is still hurts when it ends. The same, of course, could be said for Jen and Brad; for all we know, they had problems too, before he met Angelina. I am sure I read that Brad wanted kids but Jen wanted to wait so she could focus on her career. In the end....

Well but Jen and Brad still had a piece of paper that bound them by law, so they were in fact together, regardless of the state of their relationship. In this case, for all we know the relationship could have been over, he may have considered himself a free agent, because for all effects and purposes he's still single. So comparing the two situations and calling her a home wrecker is for me sounds like clutching at straws.

^None of the people involved are married so its pretty tame as far as so-called "scandals" go. I don't think the tabs are going to get any mileage out of this because it's honestly not that scandalous or interesting.

Wow, Justin Theroux? He's like one of the baddest guys out there. My American friend said she saw him get arrested once.
This is either a bizarrely genuine relationship or an insane publicity stunt. Like that article said, why would Jennifer endanger her career like that? Though I doubt it would really receive any major damage. Most fans, I imagine, would stick by her anyway.

exactly. I bet angelina fans are anxious for the media to make something wicked out of this. So Jen can take angelina's place. Woo! Angelina's record can't be broken.

It's not interesting.
The triangle had 3 A-List stars involved, this one only has one.

The media will not make anyting out of this supposed scandel as long as Huvane is pulling the strings.

It surprises me that many of you think that living with someone for 14 years means nothing... after all being legally married is only a contract, it has nothing to do with love or what constitutes a home imo.
If this rumour is true -all of it- in my book she is a "homewrecker" and he´s a douche for not having the decency of ending things with his girlfriend (or wife, for all intents and purposes) before taking things with Jen further... but as happened with Brad and Angie, probably there´s a lot that we don´t know.

^ It is weird what some people are saying, especially the person who described him as 'single' because he's not married..

THANK YOU. Brad obviously didn't give a crap that he was married - it means nothing unless you personally want it to (kind of scary that some people need a contract to commit to someone, but that's just me I guess). He didn't. He'd have done the same if he were married or not.

While some are raising the "marriage card" to absolve the people in this situation of any wrong-doing, please keep in mind that in some countries, people who live together for a certain length of time (usually it is between 6 months - 2 years) ARE BOUND BY LAW. Hence, when/if they split up, legal issues apply. For e.g., f one half of the couple was "wronged" in some way, he/she has LEGAL RIGHTS. Also, they are entitled to "half" of the other person's earnings etc. In short, legally, this break-up could go to court, just like a marriage splitting up could.

So if you are making a "legal" argument to call this situation a "non-issue," it doesn't factually hold.

If you are making a religious argument, that's different, but even so, moral issues apply whether married or not married, religious or not religious, as morals/ethics aren't bound by spirituality. Therefore, I assume if one has had the same partner for, let's say, 3 years, if he or she cheated, I can assume the other person would think it was "morally" wrong.

All that said, however, I do think "sweetcandy" brings up a valid point: clearly, Brad, Jen and Angie garner more public interest/press than Jen, Justine and Heidi, given that some people would say "who?" regarding the latter two involved in this recent triangle.

Further, the Brad-Jen-Angie triangle revolved around a film, "Mr. and Mrs. Smith," which was just released right around when the story broke and which was loaded with sexual chemistry. Angelina had the "bad girl" image going as well, so that fed into the hype.

The Justine-Jen-Heidi triangle seems to have happened much more "behind the scenes".

But - imo - it does utterly re-write the cliche narrative that Jen is "America's Sweetheart" and "The Wronged Woman" of Hollywood. Frankly I find this alteration in her image refreshing!! It allows Jen to finally get those "labels" and "cliches" off her back and be her own person, kind of how Angelina has been able to change her image through her Oscar nominations, Charity work and, of course, motherhood and family life.

Who wants to be stereotyped!?

This might be where one begins to wonder about PR! Especially given that Jen's forthcoming role as a "sexy corrupt dentist" plays right into this re-writing of her image as "spurned sweetheart". But of course, this could also definitely be pure coincidence.

Nonetheless, it is the potential image shift that makes the story interesting to me.

^well said. But can u mention some countries that legalise couples that live together for a certain period of time? Not that i'm saying it's not true. I'm only curious cause this is my first time hearing such a thing.

^In my country -Argentina- if you can prove that you lived with someone (with legal documents like change of address, bills, etc) for at least five years then you have all the same rights than a married person.

What countries binds people by law after a certain period of time without signing any paper? Most countries if you co-habit with someone give certain rights in terms of assets, and will evaluate your contribution to the relationship if you decide to take your partner to court because you feel in some way penalised, but it's far from being comparable to a marriage and you may lose. That's why is so unfair to same sex couples. When you marry someone you are in fact by making someone a member of your family, it becomes instantly your next of kin. Look at what happened to Stieg Larsson 's partner and then tell me that partnerships bind you by law like a marriage. She learn it the hard way.

 

[kokobombon]

^well, I just said that my country does... anyway, they live in US, they´re bound by their laws.

The people involved in this so-called triangle are American so there's no point in judging them by what other countries say about unmarried couples. In the U.S. unmarried people can leave relationships when they choose without filing for legal separation or divorce. Indeed many commitment-phobes avoid marriage for that very reason.

Good luck to the tabloids trying to get mileage out of this. I'm guessing most Americans feel sorry for Justin's girlfriend only in the sense that she stayed with the guy for 14 years without getting married.

In fact, it's probably 1 out of 10 countries that have legalized it. So one shouldn't rely on it
