Jennifer Aniston's friends are sounding the alarm over the financial stability of her new boyfriend, Jim Curtis, fearing the Friends star could be setting herself up for heartbreak again.
Concerns Over Curtis' Money Troubles
According to sources close to Aniston, the 50-year-old hypnotherapist and author has faced some recent money issues, including falling behind on homeowner's association fees for his New York apartment and being forced to put the property on the market.
Aniston's friends are worried that Curtis' financial troubles could be a "huge red flag" and are urging the actress to "be cautious" as her relationship with him heats up. The Morning Show star has reportedly been covering the costs of their lavish dates and trips, raising concerns that she may be "repeating past mistakes."
A Familiar Pattern of Compromise?
What this really means is that Aniston's friends fear she is once again falling into a pattern of sacrificing her own needs and independence for the sake of a romantic relationship. The actress has openly admitted in the past that her "biggest mistake" in relationships has been trying to change herself to fit what the man wants.
The bigger picture here is that Aniston's friends are worried she is about to make a major life change - moving from California to New York to be closer to Curtis - that could jeopardize her hard-won happiness and self-discovery. They fear she is once again "putting his needs above her own" and risking her own wellbeing.
Only time will tell if Aniston is able to maintain a healthy balance in this new relationship, or if her friends' concerns about history repeating itself will prove well-founded.
