Brangelina

They're the perfect couple, and they look totally cute together.

So why do you want them to break up?

Here, amid recent rumors of a Brangelina split, College Candy admits something that might as well be a form of blasphemy: Some of us want Brangelina to fail.

An excerpt:

Maybe it’s because we are all jealous she can wear a $20 thrifted dress on the red carpet and looking absolutely stunning. Or how flawless her acting career is. Or how she is saving the world, one person at a time. Or how she goes to bed with Brad Pitt every night. She is Angelina Jolie. She is perfect. And now it’s our chance to strike back a little bit; to savor the moment as Angelina’s perfect facade cracks a little and her world comes crumbling down.

Ouch. But strangely, I understand.

I've never prayed for a couple's demise. However, when you look at couples whose interactions seem flawless, it's only natural to secretly hope that behind closed doors, they're experiencing the challenges that characterize "normal" relationships.

Confession time: Have you ever wanted a seemingly perfect couple to fail?
