Charlie Sheen and Wife's Troubles Go Way Back

A source tells E! News the couple's marriage was on shaky grounds soon after they wed

There may have been trouble in Brooke Mueller and Charlie Sheen's paradise for some time now.

According to a source close to Mueller's family, the couple's marriage was on the rocks long before the alleged domestic violence incident Friday morning in Aspen, Co.

"Brooke and Charlie have had many fights during their short marriage over his insistence on staying home and never wanting to go out," the source said.

We also hear that Sheen has issues with Mueller's mother, who reportedly divides her time between homes in Palm Beach, Aspen and Los Angeles.

"She is a very big part of her daughter's life," the source said. "She is very social and Charlie hates all of the social stuff. He is cerebral and not interested in fluff."   

Mueller and Sheen married in May, after their engagement in July 2007. She gave birth to twin boys, Max and Rob, prior to their marriage March 15.

But, trouble was brewing soon after they wed, the source said.

"Brooke said right before she got pregnant after their wedding that she was 'so bored' and revealed to pals she wasn't sure how long they'd last".

Mueller and Sheen's reps have not yet responded for comment.
