Lopez made sure Affleck was happy in his marriage
A source quoted by the magazine claims that Lopez “spent a lot of time trying to make sure Ben was happy and had everything he needed.” But it was her negativity that upset him.
His care for her is almost childlike, even though friends constantly remind him that he is not responsible for her feelings. He is sometimes very moody and sad, but Jennifer appreciates life in another way and is very grateful for everything, People reported.
During their marriage, the former Hollywood couple spent their summers on opposite coasts, with Lopez enjoying international vacations while Affleck stayed busy with a filming schedule.
A source close to his ex-wife Jennifer Garner, with whom he has three children, told the outlet that Affleck has “never handled stress well.” The source added, “He doesn't have good stress-handling skills. He gets frustrated easily and becomes moody. When he's calm and in a good mood, he's wonderful to be around. But more often than not, he's upset or frustrated.”
The source said that Affleck gets irritated over very small things and doesn't understand how his bad mood affects those around him. “Sometimes, it's just a small thing that he gets hung up on. He doesn't really understand how his bad mood affects those around him. It's not fun to be around that kind of negativity,” the source said.
