Brad Pitt's Decision to Leave Jen
In a new interview with V magazine, Brad Pitt claims he maintains a “deep friendship” with his ex-wife, Jennifer Aniston, 38, and defends how he ended their four-and-a-half year marriage in January 2005. Among his bombshells: that he stifled his attraction to Angelina Jolie, 32, until after he and Aniston had ended the relationship.
“The most important thing about that time was for Jen and me to figure out if – how do I put it? – if we didn’t want to go on without any outside influence,” he tells the magazine of the last days of his marriage, which were marked by media reports of an affair with his Mr. and Mrs. Smith costar.
“Is this where we got off? Have we taken this as far as we wanted to go?” He concludes, “Those questions had to be answered before an attraction to Angie could be answered.”
Asked if he still approves of how he handled the split, Pitt, 43, saying that protecting all parties involved was most important to him, replies, “I don’t know how better to have handled it…The thing guiding me then was you don’t know how many days you have, and you need life to be everything you need it to be.”

Re: Brad Pitt's Decision to Leave Jen
sounds like he simply gave up on his marriage w. Jen b/c he physically wanted some other woman
"Is this where we get off, have we taken this as far as we want to go?"
...Doesn't sound like a guy who takes marraige seriously...which is fine, but then why even try it?

Re: Brad Pitt's Decision to Leave Jen
no matter what he say about his reason, it will not sound right on paper. he left her b/c he found someone else with goals same as his. not saying it's right or wrong...
never understood why he was with jenn in the first place. she is
i actually like him more and more now cuz he's with angelina.

the thing about Brad Pitt which bothers me the most is that 1) he is a serial relationship getter-into-er and 2) he seems to have no identity of his own.
he was "crazy" with Juliette Lewis, calm and zen with Gwenny and then Jen, and then "crazy" again with Angie. he seems to choose his partners based on what he wants to be, which I find incredibly .
the Brad Pitt with Juliette would have surely gotten that dumb tattoo, but the Brad of Jen & Gwen would NEVER have...
I don't know, he seems lame to me.

I noticed that too, that he sort of takes on the personality of whomever he is with at the moment.
There was some set of pictures of him with each of those women, and in each one, he is dressed like them. Down to the hair color, sunglasses and highlights.

Yeah, I love that line too: "Is this where we get off?..." Um, marriage goes as far as you want it to go. And what a coincidence that his marriage just happened to "go as far as it's gonna go" right as Angelina Jolie walked into the picture.
I also agree that he always seems to take on the personality of whoever he is with at the time. Despite all his looks and fame, he strikes me as someone who is really insecure underneath.

i agree!!! he is goodlooking but i have no respect for him anymore - he needs to grow a set of balls and they can twist that story anyway they want - i still don't believe that nothing was going on until after the divorce - baloney!
