Jennifer Aniston has always been my idol. Before Brad, way back in the days of Friends – and I rocked my own version of the “Rachel” hair-do. I guess they don’t call her America’s Sweetheart for nothing!
I started to feel like I could relate to Jen in recent years after my own divorce. Living in a country town at the time we had our own Jen/Brad/Ange rumour mill, not quite Hollywood, but still. I separated from my husband a month shy of our fifth wedding anniversary. On our actual anniversary I found out he was seeing someone (who he met at work whilst we were still married), six weeks later at Christmas he told me they were moving in together, then six months after that on Mother’s Day I found out they were engaged. His wife has just delivered their twins – a boy and a girl.
I like to believe that I, like Jen, handled myself with poise and grace, and only ever passed comments that were off-hand and nonchalant like, what they did was “really uncool”.
Like Jen I also have had my John Mayer – the fool that thought it appropriate to discuss our sex life drunkenly in the pub to anyone that would listen. Granted it’s not the paparazzi, but needless to say that relationship tanked. I had the Vince Vaughan – the awesomely funny guy that just didn’t happen to work out for one reason or another. Then there has been the smattering of the Gerard Butlers, Orlando Blooms and Bradley Coopers that were fun to date but never really happened.
I get asked who I am dating on a regular basis and people always tell me that I will find “The One”. I don’t want to settle though. I don’t want to get involved in a relationship with Mr Right Now – I am happy to be patient and wait for Mr Right. Just like Jen did. And look what she’s found – a great guy who it appears she has an honest and fun relationship with.
To be honest, I was beginning to think that it would just be me on my own for a long while (something which I am actually quite at peace with). But Jen you have made me think there’s hope for me yet!
