Jolie, Pitt list each other's problems

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have listed the ten character traits they find annoying in each other in an exercise to strengthen their relationship.

The couple were apparently told to make the lists by a relationship counsellor.

A source told Grazia: "Brad gave Angie an ultimatum. He said they had to try counselling to sort out their problems. Angie was equally keen to stop the rows and unpleasantness between them so she agreed.

"I think one of her bug-bears is that Brad can be overly cheery and it sometimes seems to drive her mad. It sounds like she craved more time and space to herself.

"Brad apparently made a list of his own, but most of the complaints were just about his desire for her to be nicer to him."

The couple were reportedly struggling to find time alone following the birth of their twins in the summer, later having to publicly deny reports that their relationship was on the rocks.
