[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is nothing there to analyze. Ben is exactly what he appears to be - an ex alcoholic and gambler that will always struggle. Everyone wants to analyze JLo because they can’t figure out why she keeps picking losers.[/quote]

Why did Jennifer Garner pick a loser? She seems like someone who knows better.  I could have MAYYYYBE seen her having a starter marriage with Ben and then Garner divorcing him after a year or two, but no she cranked out three kids with him. [/quote]

I agree with PPs - Jen G was head over heels for him, and unfortunately he knew it and wasn’t very good to her. [b]I think he respects her as a mother - and is probably very grateful she’s the mother to his children - but he was very disrespectful to her as a partner. [/b]Remember when he thanked everyone BUT HER when he won the Oscar for Argo?  I don’t think that was a simple slip - I think he genuinely always thought she was lesser than him. [/quote]

I agree with all of this but especially the bolded. It was a shotgun wedding after under a year and I think they chafed throughout their marriage. His being narcissitic, a gambler, and alcoholic impacted the whole relationship. Shit show. I would like to hope in their older age (and with his current drama) he is grateful to JG. However their relationship started, she's been the backbone of that family. I remember some interview with Damon where he was low key shaming Jen (weird with his non celeb wife) about basically not wanting fame or to act much but also praising that she made boatloads on endorsements for very little work. Maybe it's a facade and she's pissed she's not getting big acting roles? Don't get that vibe. And now she's showing up during this time to help the father of her children. Whatever the dynamic was like 15+ years ago is irrelevant at this stage. She seems to consistently show up for the well being of her family. [/quote]
