Lopez made sure Affleck was happy in his marriage
A source said Lopez “spent a lot of time making sure Ben was happy and had everything he needed.” They added, “It was almost childlike in the way she took care of him. Friends constantly reminded him that she wasn’t responsible for his feelings. He was very moody and depressed at times. Jennifer appreciates life in a different way. She’s very grateful for everything,” as reported by People.
The former Hollywood couple spent their summer on opposite coasts while Lopez enjoyed an international vacation. Meanwhile, Affleck was busy with the shooting schedule of his upcoming film, The Accountant 2.
“Affleck has never handled stress well,” said a source close to Affleck’s ex-wife Jennifer Garner, with whom he has three children. 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.
