Moving on is not about that – Jennifer Aniston’s relationship coverage is doing it wrong
I keep reading about the supposed “wedding race” between Jennifer Aniston and Bradgelina and it’s been making me wonder about what sort of story the media is trying to sell people. That whole story about poor Jennifer Aniston being jilted by Brad for Angelina and not managing to hold a relationship together since has touched us all, I’m sure, but so many years later, you have to wonder about the seriousness of a relationship where the main thing on the bride-to-be’s mind is getting back at the ex.
I have no idea what Aniston herself feels or thinks about this (aside from undoubtedly seeing the benefits of it keeping her in the news) but I hope for her sake that she’s happy in her current relationship and not even remotely bothered by something as meaningless and silly as a wedding date.
For the rest of us, here’s a little point to consider. Hate is a form of attachment. If you hate someone, you are still affected by what they say and do, so they still have power over you. Remember that the flipside of hate is love. Personally, I’d be afraid to get involved with someone who still harboured such hate and resentment for their ex as the media seems to expect Aniston to have. It would tell me that person is not over their ex at all. Should some turn of events happen, maybe that person would even end up going back to their ex, given half a chance. No thanks.
Getting over someone, really getting over someone is not about wanting to flaunt your successes and happy love life in their face. It’s about simply not caring anymore about what they say or do and just getting on with your life as if the person who’d hurt you has ceased existing. So I suggest we all take this media circus with the grain of salt it deserves and learn to live in the present and hope for good things in the future, rather than dwelling on the past.
