Tensions are mounting between the overworked couple
Friday, 27 March 2009
Three weeks ago, the cast and crew of Angelina Jolie’s latest movie Salt finally got their first sighting of Brad Pitt since filming began. The 45-year-old actor was visiting Angelina on set for the first time, but sources say it was hardly an affectionate greeting.
‘Brad came to pick her up, but he looked miserable,’ one co-star reveals to Now. ‘He had his arms folded and was scowling.’ What’s more, Angelina, 34, didn’t look particularly happy, with the same source telling us: ‘She didn’t even kiss him hello.’
The sombre mood should come as no surprise, given what insiders say about the tension that’s fizzled between them in recent months.
Balancing work with the needs of six children is taking its toll according to those in the know, especially as one of their nannies was recently dismissed for getting too close to Brad. The burnout they’re facing has even led to them sleeping in different rooms at the Washington DC place they’ve rented.
‘It’s true,’ confirms another source in constant contact with the couple. ‘Angie says they haven’t slept together in weeks. It gives her some space while they’re under pressure and she just prefers it that way.
‘Brad’s so busy being a full-time parent while Angie works that he simply doesn’t have the energy to argue with her in the evenings. At the moment, he sleeps in a separate room or
on the couch.’
THEIR ISSUES
Family
Our source tells us: ‘Angie’s always had a pretty difficult relationship with Brad’s family – she hardly ever invites them over to stay or gives Brad’s mom a call. Brad, being more family oriented than Angelina, also has trouble understanding her ongoing problems with her dad Jon Voight.
Jennifer Aniston
According to those closest to the couple, Jennifer Aniston’s a never-ending issue for them. Their encounter at the Oscars and Jen’s recent split from musician John Mayer have only made matters worse. ‘Brad tries to reassure Angie, but Jen’s still an incredibly sore subject for her,’ the source confirms.
The nanny
Reports from the US suggested that Brad got too close to one of their children’s nannies and she was sacked as a result. The truth behind that, our sources say, is that there was categorically no infidelity going on. But it’s fair to say that Brad’s turned to others for support as he struggles to deal with what he terms Angelina’s ‘selfish attitude’.

Brad Pitt finally said it: AJ is selfish. She found him to be her 'suitable boy'. The chap takes on so much on himself, why wouldn't she want him? I am waiting for him to leave her. This woman is not worth it.
What a lot of b******t! These two love each other very much.Of course Angie is tired after a long day on the set but she sure can´t wait to get back home to Brad and the kids each night. These goddamn tabloids should stop harassing this family and just let them live their lives. Brad and Angie are meant to be together. Naturally their relationship has rough spots from time to time but they always manage to win those hard times. Their relationship sure is solid as a rock. Stupid rags can´t destroy their relationship. Thank God they don´t read those stories themselves. They sure would have a good laugh if they ever bother to read these stories which they thankfully don´t have time or energy to do.
It was a matter of time before the two split. Pitt lacks discipline, depth and is too needy, too caught up in romance and himself to focus on what is important; a real relationship with it's ups and downs, integrity, values, respect. Angelina, while attractive and no doubt exciting for Brad, clearly lacked values, focused on the wrong things, wanted her own way and craved attention. Somehow, she thought that there would be no consequence for fooling around with someone elses's spouse. But, there is always Karma; these people forget that. If Brad could mess around on Aniston, he could mess around on Jolie and Jolie both allowed it to happen and encouraged it, perhaps even derived some excitement from it. The both needed to grow up and expereince loss, before they mature and understand what is happening. Hopefully, one or both will "get it" and be better human beings as a result. Globetrotting and having and adopting babies from all over the world does not make you a good person. Just look at Madonna, and Jolie who has a copy cat wanna be, Nadya Suleman who is just acting out what she sees. It's time these stars realized their actions are having an impact; being watched and copied. People like Pitt and Jolie need to be responsible adults, not just for themselves but for the millions who watch and try to be like them. They have a responsibility. Jolie is paying a price now, it's karma coming back on her. It's not all Pitts fault, Jolie was equally to blame. Now she will understand the torment she put Aniston through. A case of a couple who fulfilled each other's desires, whims and who did not set limits, live by values, integrity and respect. A hard lesson for both; both Pitt and Jolie will lose here, and more importantly, so will their children.
I think that she needs to evaluate what she thinks a relationship involves, one very big element is trust. There is a sort of saying that if you hold a bird in your hands and hold it too tightly you can kill it, hold it too loosely and it will fly away, if it does fly away it was never meant to be but if the bird returns it would have returned because it wanted to not because it wasn't given the chance. If she is worried about him spending time with Jen or anybody else then it says more about her than him, and to be honest if he was to fall in love with anybody else then it would be the right course for him to choose. As hurtful as it would be for her it would have happened any way no matter how much she tried to stop it. It could be the most random person but it would be right for his heart. The same would go for him and holding onto her. Relationships aren't meant to be work at all, no matter what the experts say. If you have to work at a relationship then it means that you are too different. That is not to say that if you have an issue then you shouldn't talk about it and call it quits but most people don't know how to communicate in the right way and resort to mind games. Once she realizes that he is with her because he utterly and completely loves her then most of their problems will disappear. You have to let nature guide you, wherever that may lead.
What goes around comes around. what I am having a hard time understanding is--How can Angie say her relationship with Brad is built on trust. She stole Jen's man. Gee what values she has. I for one hope she get what she deserves. We as a society lets her do what she wants and then try and vote her woman of the year. We need to wake up and smell the coffee.
