From what I've see, he considered the marriage to be over back in march/April when he moved out. In his mind he probably wasn't cheating. He's a coward and should have broken up with her.

He's not a coward for not filing. He let her file so that he doesn't humiliate her further by making it look like he left her for the SECOND time in 20 years. It's the least he could do. He did her a favor. He knows she doesn't want to look like she was dumped for the second time.

The person who files for divorce is the person the public perceives to do the dumping. He knows this.

Agree with everything you said, but let's not downplay their relationship, "He's a coward and should have started divorce proceedings." Idiot Ben was treating this like his annoying girlfriend [JL] wouldn't leave him alone once he was tired of her.

Ben Affleck is such a troubled person. He is a mess. Who cares who filed -she had to get out of his drama. He is the worse kind of gas lighter. I know guys like him and it is always a quasi abusive relationship where the partner is walking on pins and needles not to annoy.

But he essentially did leave her for the second time. Maybe that idea he was saving her the humiliation would have worked if details were kept private but they weren't. We know he's been over the relationship and hanging out with Kick for months. He moved out and bought a whole house. He was not willing to work on the marriage and knew it from the beginning. Coward

Agree - he knew he was the messy one and wanted to give at least the appearance of her being the one to end things.

But then in his characteristic Ben ways, he screwed it all up by being messy with the moving out, hanging with Kick and allowing his team to say he’s happier than ever.

I suspect he's not willing to work on the marriage because he knows it's unsalvageable. He broke up with her for reasons that can't be fixed.

I suspect he wanted out of the marriage because he realized he doesn't want to put up with everything that comes with being married to her. (her gigantic entourage, unrelenting papparazzi, etc). Even though he knew this before, and initially, he really thought he could put up with it.

As the honeymoon phase of being back together faded, he realized it was a threat to his long-term sobriety. I'm sure they will always love each other, but this wasn't going to work out in the long run.

A Kennedy family nickname for Kathleen?

The original Kick was JFK’s sister Kathleen that died in a plane crash in the 1940/z. Nicknamed Kick because she was considered a real kick in the pants kind of gal (irrepressible). I think it’s weird to have reused the nickname when no one who used the nickname knew the original Kick. It’s such a soecific personal nickname. I guess add it to the long list of weird things that RFK Jr did.

Honestly I hope he makes it the distance with Kick Kennedy and maybe, just maybe he lets her have one kid (if she wants one). That's where he's been going wrong with these younger women.

So messy!

Ben Affleck previously enjoyed a brief fling with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s daughter, Kathleen 'Kick' Kennedy before he rekindled his relationship now-estranged wife, Jennifer Lopez, sources have revealed.

Now insiders have revealed to DailyMail.com that Kick and Ben, 52, are 'enjoying spending time' together but the writer is remaining 'tight-lipped' about their connection because she doesn't want to be seen as a 'mistress'.

'Ben and Kick had a fling before he got back together with JLo,' the source began. 'They met because Ben is from Boston and when you live in Boston, the Kennedy family is royalty.'

The source explained that Kick isn't wasting much time worrying about how Jennifer might feel about Ben's decision to reconnect as they added: 'Kick is fond of Ben, and she does not care what JLo thinks honestly.

'When they started hanging out, he and JLo were separated. He made this very clear with her. JLo listing their separation as April only confirmed this.'

The source continued: 'They are both taking it day by day but so far, she is enjoying spending time with him. They hang out at Beverly Hills Hotel because it offers a level of privacy to celebs that nowhere else does.

'The fact that people say she looks like Jen Garner is flattering to her as she thinks Jen is beautiful.'

Ben's young enough I bet he will be fine with another kid. Kick is lowkey and comes a wealthy family so that's a plus for her. Kick won't care if he falls off the wagon too much as well. To be honest this is a great match for him

WOW. I know this would be messy but didn't think it would be THIS messy. The fact there isn't a flat out denial says it all

"Kick is fond of Ben, and she does not care what JLo thinks honestly." Gross. It's barely been a week? Shut up.

'The fact that people say she looks like Jen Garner is flattering to her as she thinks Jen is beautiful.' This is weird. Don't say that about someone's ex.

no-one who cares is falling for the formalities of who filed first. he was sleeping with another woman while she was still promoting her "greatest love story..." projects.
