Can Constant Changes Cause Damage To a Relationship? The Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Story

Lately in entertainment news there has been a lot of speculation as to whether Brad Pitt can handle the constant changes that are happening while being in a relationship with Angelina Jolie.
Angelina is constantly traveling with her humanitarian work, often with her children, both her and Brad have moved several times, she has recently adopted another little boy even after just having a baby of her own with Brad not even a year ago and both Angelina and Brad are always involved in new movie projects.

A major life change or event can be stressful on its own, but when there is several going on, on a continuousness basis as it is in the life of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, many people are wondering if the couple is going to be able to hang in there, especially speculations of whether Brad came keep up with Angelina Jolie.

The answer is yes; their relationship can remain strong if they have as many as they can of the following factors when it comes to a relationship that has continuous change in it.

I will go over each in turn.

1) If both partners signed up for the same vision:

If one partner went in to a relationship thinking that they were going to settle down, have children, get a 9-5 job and live in the same house for the next 50 years, but the other partner want to the travel the world, have four separate homes that they visit all year around and adopt 5 children one right after the other, there is definitely going to be powerstruggles and one partner is definitely going to have a lot more of job adjusting to all the changes that they were not expecting to have in the relationship.

In the case of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt chances are they did have the same vision to start off with in the relationship, Brad seen the type of lifestyle and vision Angelina lived and agreed to join her vision. So at least from that aspect, he wouldn’t be in as much resistance to their constantly changing lives as opposed to someone who didn’t know what they were getting themselves into.

2) If they have a high ability to adapt to change and a high level of flexibility towards change:

Certain personalities and combinations of personalities do not adapt to change as easily as other people. For example an Amiable personality is someone who likes harmony, routine and has the hardest time adapting to change as other personalities.

If Brad was completely an Amiable he wouldn’t have lasted more than a few months into their relationship. Analytical personalities who are into rules, regulations and like doing things in a certain order, step by step would also have trouble if a lot of things in their life is constantly changing with no rhyme or reason.

The personality that adapts the easiest to change is an Expressive personality who is into spontaneity, freedom and fun. Since Brad is an actor, it is guaranteed that there is at least some Expressive personality in him, so he will be able to adapt to change easier than most personalities.

Regardless of a person’s personalities, a person’s openness to change goes a long way as well. Even an Amiable personality if they approach change as more of adventure instead of a threat can go a lot further towards being able to handle a lot of change in a relationship.

3) If both partners have the ability to respect the adaptation period for change of the other partner:

Another important factor to the success of a couple that has a lot of change in their life is both partners’ ability to respect the adaptation period of the other person. If they understand that the other partner doesn’t adapt as quickly as them, they may try slowing the amount of change down a bit to help the other partner catch up, and at the very least understand that the other person needs to adapt so they are not in judgment of them or try to force them to do something before they are ready.

Otherwise if they don’t, there will be powerstruggles and resentment from both partners as they are not getting their needs met.

In the case of Angelina Jolie, the entertainment gossip always assumes that Angelina Jolie is making all these decisions and major life changes without Brad’s consent. However, considering everything that they have been through so far, from traveling, to adopting, to having their own child to even Angelina’s Mother recently passing away, if Brad didn’t have a say in anything and if Angelina wasn’t aware if he had any needs in regards to adapting to change, then they wouldn’t have lasted this far.

So will Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt continue with having a successful relationship or are the media’s assumptions about the potential of their relationship breaking down a possible reality? Time will tell, however, if they have any of the factors that we have discussed in this article, then they will have a very good chance of continuing a happy, healthy relationship and family together.
