Personal Relationships in the Spotlight

Why does a good and loving personal relationship sometimes go wrong?

You know or read about a couple who appear just perfect together and then the next thing you know, they have split up.  There are any number of examples in the celebrity world but take the article (http://women.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/women/celebrity/article6609795.ece) written by Shane Watson of The Times about what is probably the most famous relationship triangle in the media, the Brangjen Triangle, as he calls it.  So what about Jennifer, Brad and Angelina?

Using the personality profiling and relationship compatibility system at www.every121.com I get these insights into each of their characters:-

Brad Pitt & Jennifer Aniston

First off, were/ are they compatible?  Yes they are.  What kind of relationship did they have? It was a supportive type of relationship with Brad being the supporter of Jennifer.

What is Brad’s character and how does it relate to his Character Dynamics?

If I select a few traits from his character to demonstrate the individual:-

- is usually free-spirited which can make him appear to be chaotic and undisciplined.

- he dislikes conflict or being pushed around.

- he sometimes does not see the importance of communicating clearly.

- is charismatic, flamboyant and graceful.

- can be romantic and at times nostalgic

- can expect to be taken care of and can be dependent.

- may do whatever it takes to get what he wants.

His Character Dynamics are:-

He is very easy going and does not stress himself.  He will usually take things in his stride and accept them as being part of life’s experiences.  He can be dependant and needs outside motivation because he can wait for things to happen.

Now Jennifer’s Character and how it relates to her Character Dynamics

Again, I will select a few traits from her character as follows:-

- appears gentle and easy-going but can change moods quickly.

- can be stubborn and impulsive.

- is practical, reliable and thoughtful.

- can change her mind frequently (like the wind) and this can lead to difficulties in relationships.

- needs support and reassurance.

- values loyalty.

- likes change to happen slowly and can resist unless she initiates it.

- is usually very demanding of others.

- loves courtship and to be wooed.

Her Character Dynamics

She is self-monitoring and keeps herself under control.  As a result, she is able to work on her own and is self motivated.  She does not like to be criticized as she has already done it to herself, once a mistake is realised, and this can result in a strong reaction.  She may choose to ignore perceived injustice or crusade against it especially if it has a direct impact on her life.  Under stress she may become rebellious or explosive.

Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie

Are they compatible?  Again the answer is Yes!  What kind of relationship do they have?  Yet again this is a supportive type of relationship with Angelina being the supporter of Brad.  Both Angelina and Brad have diplomatic and fun loving traits in common which would lead to them feeling a certain bond.

Finally, Angelina’s Character and how it relates to her Character Dynamics

Here is a small selection of Angelina’s character traits:-

- reflects back what others want to see and hear.

- is a natural diplomat and is generally optimistic.

- is charismatic, flamboyant and graceful.

- can expect to be taken care of and can be dependent.

- is a master of exerting passive control over others.

- does not like to feel left out.

- can spoil her men

- can experience a life of ups and downs, successes and failures.

- does not like to be taken for granted.

- people can naturally gravitate to her.

Her Character Dynamics are:-

She is very easy going and does not stress herself. She will usually take things in her stride and accept them as being part of life’s experiences.  She can be dependant and needs outside motivation because she can wait for things to happen.

What does all this tell us?

Contrary to what Shane Watson wrote it is my opinion that it has probably always been all about Brad.  In Jennifer he found a motivated successful woman with whom he was compatible.  May be she was too motivated or too demanding!  I would certainly see a lack of clear communication as being a problem so it also might have been that work schedules and success got in the way of a good relationship.  In case you are wondering and in my opinion, Angelina and Jennifer, in spite of what happened, would never have got along as they are opposites.

Speculation

Brad has now got a nice easy going supportive relationship.  He has also got his children.  So what next?  There is no real motivation for him to achieve anything else unless it is going to come from his agent or the studios.  Is he going to get bored?

Angelina also has the kids and her work as a Goodwill Ambassador for the UN Refugee Agency which fits in very well with her character.  Will her international travels as an ambassador get in the way of this relationship?  Her character is prone to continually making similar mistakes throughout life.  Could this be in her relationships?

What about Jennifer? Part of her character is that she will wait for her ideal partner to come along.  Did that already happen with Brad?  Will she ever find love again?  Or will her inner motivation keep her focussed on work?

I would agree with Shane Watson in that I don’t think this saga is over yet and as said “Bring on the next twist, please” so that I can run the next phase through www.every121.com.
