Jennifer Aniston's friends want her to distance herself from Brad Pitt.

They believe that the actress will never be completely over Pitt if she does not cut all ties with him.

A source revealed: "It's not that Courteney Cox and friends dislike Brad — quite the opposite. They are all fond of him because he's a pleasant guy to be around. But that's the very reason why he can't be in Jennifer's life. Courtney has told her to ditch Brad's number. But it's never going to be that simple — he was her one big love."

Aniston's friends don't believe that there's even a slight chance of Pitt getting back together with Aniston even if he were to split from Angelina Jolie.

The source told Britain's Look magazine: "Even if he and Jennifer were to reunite, look how complicated their life together would be. Jennifer would always have to deal with Angelina's presence because she and Brad raise six kids together. That's a huge commitment."

Aniston has since dated other men following her divorce from Pitt in 2005 but she struggles to find a man to compare to the 'Burn After Reading' star.

The source explained: "It seems Jennifer can't find anyone to fill Brad's shoes. "Jennifer needs to forget about Brad and give herself the chance to move on. Otherwise she's going to spend the rest of her life pining for him."
