When Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston filed for divorce after four years of marriage, few were surprised that Angelina Jolie and Pitt’s on-set relationship during the making of their hit movie Mr. & Mrs. Smith was to blame. This was Hollywood, after all, and stars dump themselves for other stars all the time.

Question after question splashes. What did Angeline do? What didn’t Jennifer do? How could Brad be so insensitive? How could Jennifer let such a catch go by? Didn’t Jennifer provide enough of a challenge for the sexiest man in the world? Was it all because Brad Pitt didn’t want kids? Was it all because Jennifer Aniston didn’t want kids? Was any of them sterile?

Turns out Angelina Jolie is now telling the media that she seduced Pitt on purpose. She loved getting naked on the set, as it was her chance to get on Pitt’s nerves. She even told reporters that she can’t wait to tell her children how mom and dad met and fell in love on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Herrero. Should we all be so lucky?

I had all of these same questions when I was doing my Christmas shopping and saw a well-to-do old client of mine walking sadly through Macys doing his Christmas shopping. He was with his second wife, his children and his nanny. He had left his first wife for his young assistant some ten years ago. His assistant, now his wife, had been fired because she was trying to seduce him while he was at work. Obviously, that did not influence the outcome, since he eventually left his wife and children to marry his former assistant. She was later asked to leave or return to his wife when his boss found out what had happened. He follows his own path.

Thing was, my old client looked miserable. He looked like a pack horse for everything his wife was buying with his money. He seemed defeated, a broken man. And then the same thing happens to me with Brad Pitt walking through some part of God-forsaken Africa or New Orleans that I see the same thing.
I feel bad for both of them. Whether they knew it or not, they had the world on their toes. It was all there for them with a woman who loved them unconditionally if only they had seen it.

Can the beauty of a woman blind a man? In shorts, yes. If a guy like Brad Pitt who has been with the most beautiful and amazing women in the world can succumb, then yes, any man, including yours, could give in to carnal pleasure.

For me the message is clear; men and women should strive to keep their love lives fresh and vibrant. Out with the old and in with the new. Go to new restaurants. See a play. Go to the opera. Whatever you do, do something, anything before their attentions go elsewhere.
