I never believed it up to this point but this makes their whole relationship look like a PR stunt, imo... just when they're getting ready to start promotion a pic surfaces? how convenient...
My best guess is that this was a PR relationship with a little bit of sex thrown in - and that he is royally pissed at her for making him look like an idiot.
As I said, all he has to do is grit his teeth through this promotion stuff and then find someone much hotter - in conjunction with some sad story about how when you loose trust it can never be regained but he still wanted to give it a chance...
I think their relationship was real and Kristen just picked really bad timing to have an affair. Now they are almost forced into rushing into a reconcilation because of work. But also Kristen really begged to get him back - that seemed real. He is probably a really nice guy and couldn't stand her crying and acting like a fool to get him back.
I do not believe this relationship is or was PR stunt. People seem to be in awe of PRs, yes they can create spin but they are not genius, arranging for two movie stars to be seen on an apparent date it's not the same as creating a sort of cat and mouse game with the public that would force this two to be in each others company and their friends almost permanently. In the case of this two believing their relationship was a PR stunt would be believing that their PR Team had some sort of massive masterplan, that went against all the rules of PR, they hardly did promotion of Twilight together, to be PR and could predict quite accurately how the tide was turning. How the public would react. I think this is giving their PR team way too much credit.
From day one i believed they would go back together, Pattinson never comes across has this resolute individual, he seems quite laid back, i do not think he has the backbone to muster energy to be very outraged about this. The public was outraged on his behalf. He still likes her, he must have been pressured from all sides, PR team included, and he took her back. Probably exactly as he would do if the eyes of the world were not on him. A mistake in my opinion.
agreed on all points. i was just more talking about the PRness of their reconciliation and how it doesn't change the whole situation upside down. is it positive for kristen and summit? sure. rob? nope.the reconciliation might not be PR, but the rest definitely is. why else would we get an official statement, something we never got during the previous three years. they could have kept it quiet and dealt with it privately. and these outings were also pretty obviously staged, just days after pics of him with some other girl at a party surfaced and people were saying "pics or they aren't really back together"
Kristen obviously is the big winner in this situation. when the person she cheated on can forgive her, why shouldn't the public? this is a huge advantage for her pr-team.
and Summit may not need them as a couple for selling tickets, but it looks much better when they can present them as the golden couple. there's still a huge "Robsten" fanbase and they want to see them together. i don't know what summit had planned promotion-wise, but i'm sure their breakup was a huge problem for them (planning interviews, photoshoots, tv-show appearances etc). now everything is back to normal (as surely, nobody will be allowed to mention the scandal)
the only loser in the situation is Rob
