Why did Brad Pitt leave Jennifer Aniston for Angelina Jolie?

Millions of people still wonder why did Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston divorce. The question has intrigued me even more considering that Brad Pitt is so happy with Angelina Jolie and not only has chosen not to get married but has had children with her.

In an earlier interview with Vanity Fair Jennifer Aniston shared some reasons for the divorce but we now have some more information. She says in an interview:

"I think it's laziness. I think a good relationship is about collaboration. I think you just need to talk to each other. Say what you need. Say what you want. That way it's not threatening. You just need to say, 'This is important to me.' Don't expect your mate to read your mind...I think that's because it's just instinctual as a woman to be the caretaker of your home. Women complain that men don't do enough, but it's your own fault. You train your man to do nothing. You can't blame someone for not knowing what his or her job should be if you don't ask for it right off the bat...I think it's important to have closure in any relationship that ends - from a romantic relationship to a friendship. You should always have a sense of clarity at the end and know why it began and why it ended. You need that in your life to move cleanly into your next phase."
