The Brooke Mueller and Charlie Sheen Show
Brooke Mueller and Charlie Sheen, in happier times
We all know that actor Charlie Sheen has had more relationship troubles than four and a half men. At least four of the women who have been involved with him have had multiple woes of their own.
The legal term, "assumption of the risk," had to cross anyone's mind who contemplated the possibility of a committed relationship with the likes of a Charlie Sheen. His latest wife, Brooke Mueller, and he are apparently trying valiantly to reconcile while preparing for divorce.
That duality alone seems to dictate divorce and the lack of faith in the likelihood of marital success. But what in the world did Brooke Mueller seriously expect? Tabloid reports of his antics go back literally 20 years and do not make for reassuring reading.
One fiance was rumored to have been shot -- though Sheen said that she was injured by shrapnel as a result of a gun being dropped. Other stories involved drunken and disorderly conduct, physical abuse and a pattern of domestic violence.
Let me clarify that I do not mean to pick on Charlie Sheen, and in fact, I wish him healing and recovery. I just would not want anyone I love to "pick" him as a love interest.
If we are to assess who is to blame for the downfall of Sheen's marriages, the easy answer is him. The real and more interesting question is -- what drives beautiful woman after beautiful woman to pick him in the face of overwhelming evidence that their long-term future together looks bleak.
