Bennifer Revisited

Isn't Ben allowed to be tired or bored? As a father navigating a blended family of 5 kids?

I agree and in that way, they match. I also agree with the other posters they will only be happy if he is controlled by her. She seems super type A and he is...not. He moaned about Garner but I think she seemed actually more relaxed in many ways. Will be interesting to see how it all pans out

Not at a major tv event

She has omnipotent fantasies and has for years, but the success and drive and control that took her to the top cannot In fact make her partners stay sober or strong or faithful. But she doesn't accept this on an, emotional level. She's a slow learner that way, and she has held on to romantic fantasies with an iron grip, for reasons that are unknowable to the rest of us. Obviously being alone and not having a man is extremely uncomfortable and probably deeply threatening to her. Why, I don't know.

She's obviously not going to get what she wants out of this relationship, no matter how strong her will. But I can't see her letting him go.
The only thing I can see happening is him falling very publicly and messily off the wagon, even if they have to pretend. He'll go to rehab, she'll support him, they'll drift apart, and she'll pretend this whole second chance relationship and marriage never happened.

The year is 2026. Where do you see Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck?

My guess is that they'll be divorced and she'll be engaged to someone else.
Not sure about him.

I'm sure she's dying inside that practically the whole world has seen this side of her.

Why should JLo be embarrassed? She had iron control and discipline. She has reached the heights of fame and fortune on her talent and tenacity.

She will control Ben Affleck. Either he will straighten up or he will be thrown out. Jenny from the block is not the White girl J Garner. She will not tolerate his stupidity. Love or no love. JLo is not a naive teenager. Jenny from the block has been around the block a few times and with more gangsta men than poor ol addict sad sack boy!

What does Garner being white have to do with anything? Check your racism.

Agreed. Blaming his drinking on being married to Jennifer Garner was truly immature. Own your choices.

And Pitt blamed his pot addiction on Aniston…and her even Angelina’s wiles couldn’t keep him from boozing and abusing like she thought.

I don’t know why these women don’t learn from the first wives!!! Honey, you ain’t any better and it’s not because she didn’t treat him right or have enough sex or was a nag. It’s what is wrong with these men!

I know, the second wives both buy the guys’ sad sack stories (she doesn’t understand me!) and believe they’re special and history won’t repeat itself. Oops!

+100

Angelina couldn’t change a man, J-lo can’t either.

Aniston and Garner could have told these ladies a thing or two about being with men that have addictions and cheat.

I thought she told him to sit up straight. That was my impression after watching the video but I am no lip-reading expert.

Omg. That's what a mother tells her child. She's 53 and he's 50.

Because he's so childish, he needs a maternal figure to keep him on the straight and narrow. But Jlo is far more critical than JG imo, think he'll end up resenting her even more. Then he acts out and indulges his vices until they can't take it anymore and finally dump him. Rinse, repeat.

Still together and miserable. She thinks he’s the one and I doubt she will ever let him go.

I was thinking the same. So what if he’s bored? He’s been to a million of these things. It’s hard to always be “on.” I think all of us would be tired of always being fake for the camera too.

NP. Just to be clear, PP’s comments were not racist. It’s not racist to mention someone’s race!

Anyway, I do agree that JLo has iron control and discipline, I admire her. I also sympathize with Ben Affleck because I too would get fidgety and bored at these events. Who knows what’s on his mind. Maybe something is going on at home? With his family? With something else. The camera caught a brief interaction, and it’s really silly to sit here and try to analyze it.

Of course.

But if your spouse was at a work event for you and was rude and looked bored, wouldn’t you be upset that he couldn’t pull it together? It seems passive aggressive… Obviously meant a lot to her to be there and be there with him and he couldn’t pull it together. I’m the worlds biggest introvert and homebody, I totally sympathize if someone would rather be home on their couch in comfy clothes, but if it were important to my spouse to show up and act enthusiastic for a little while I think I would do it or at least try harder than that.

but why? why did it matter a lot to her to be there and be there with him?
