This pic is suddenly in the news because it's been recreated by the couple f...rette show;

We all remember it, don't we?

Brad was still married to Jennifer Anniston, and apparently it was HIS idea to shoot this theme in order to "promote their film" (Mr & Mrs Smith).

Pitt was actually the creative mastermind behind the whole thing. He teamed with photographer Steven Klein to explore what he called the “unidentifiable malaise” that often haunts a seemingly happy couple. “You don't know what’s wrong because the marriage is everything you signed up for,” he told the magazine. W ran a whopping 60 photos of Pitt and Jolie from the shoot, which was set in Pitt's birth year, 1963, and featured them as a husband and wife with a large brood of children.

Aniston – whose divorce from Pitt wasn't finalized until October of that year – was devastated by the magazine spread. “There’s a sensitivity chip that’s missing,” Aniston later said of Pitt's decision to flaunt his relationship with Jolie.

IMO...it's less likely that he was missing "sensitivity" as much as he was overwhelmed & intoxicated by the new relationship.

Reminds me of back when I was back-&-forth with the ex, trying to "work on it" by giving each other "space to do our own thing"...and while I didn't see pictures, the subtle Facebook posts were bad enough. Not only did she have her lover as a friend on Facebook, but the posts were pretty much a flaunt of what was going on. The one that finally got me to block her as a friend (before I moved out) was... "Why can't the good nights last forever?"

So...what about YOU?

Assuming there's factors at play that prevent you from outright dumping them...

Have you ever had a significant other FLAUNT an affair?

What if they did?

Would YOU?!?!

yup. I have.

And, turned the story around to wear everyone more or less believed the lies.

Charm goes a loooooong fucking way towards what others view as legitimacy.

But luckily, facebook wasn't a problem as I was the one being blocked (without my

knowlege ), so I never saw the posts. I had to hear it from mutual IRL friends.

I guess it hurts a lot less when the person is hiding it from you? I mean, if it was

in-my-face flaunting, that shit would have been truly rank.

Have you considered going gay? I mean, there's so much less overhead in that you know.

Going bi doesn't solve much by way of simplicity.

No, I was cheated on.

But the flaunting was with everyone else but me.

In other words, there I was left out of the loop.

Which hurts, but is different than a person who is throwing it in your face.

..at least I think it is?

I deserve to be cheated on though, considering some of my....behavior then.

This thread is too much with the ghey.

I don't think anyone really "deserves" it...it's my basic rule that if you decide it's time to move on, then just move on. Period.

Ignorance is bliss. So yeah, if you don't know about it, then it isn't like rubbing salt on your open wound.

I can only imagine that when Jennifer Anniston saw that "W" magazine spread, some things may have been thrown & broken around the house.

yes when i was 22 my SO decided he'd bang my best friend (at the time) behind my back. naturally, i ran like hell when i found out but that shit stings for a minute eh?

she flaunted it slyly, and he got around to flaunting it openly. we were graduates, sharing a house that summer and everyone living there knew what was up except for me i was very naive and trusting back then

Kinda, I guess.

My ex slept with my best friend when we were still together and under the guise that they too were good friends they used to do stuff together all the time.

Funnily enough my "best friend" contacted me after not talking for about 14 years. She was in town so I met with her and sure enough, the first person she had met up with as soon as she arrived in town was my ex.

Guess I'll let another 14 years go by before talking again.

This remins me that I need to type out fantasy #3 on your appreciation thread.

Thanks for that.

So he just openly admitted it to you, but passed it off as just something "they did"???

She told me, and then tried to tell me that they had become close and were friends...but they were still fucking.

Naw, I'm not like that....and back then I took shit like this out on myself - not them.

Still waiting to hear from any Orger brazen enough to admit they'd flaunt an affair...

...and just to be clear, this thread deals with the act of FLAUNTING the deed, not just doing it, but rather posting pics or openly flirting or whatever, either to your face or behind your back (although "to your face" is more what I was referring to).
