[quote=Anonymous]I get it, Ben. I would also not enjoy that event and I think his behavior was honest and probably a better reflection of how most of the people in that room, even JLo, actually feel. Like most of the smiling and dancing you see is an act. They know there are cameras everywhere and it's on TV and the photos will be all over, so they perform their public selves. Except Lizzo, I think she is honestly just like that, plus still newly famous enough that it's all very novel to her. But most of the other people there are bored and looking forward to going home, but just doing a much better job than Ben at covering it up.

Also, a lot of people there who felt like he did probably had a couple glasses of champagne or took a pill or smoked a bowl so that they could loosen up and have more fun. That's not something he can do. There's a reason that substance abuse if very prevalent in these industries -- it's how a lot of people get through the performative aspects of their job when they don't feel like it. It's likely very hard to be sober in that environment.

The sad thing to me is that the best, and healthiest, thing in this situation would be for JLo to just go to this event alone or with a friend or her assistant or something. She is there because she has an album coming out this year and she needs to raise her profile for that. It's her industry, it makes sense that she would go and do the whole thing including red carpet. But it's not like she was up for an award or doing something that would really merit having her husband there to support her. She's a pro, it's not her first rodeo, I'm sure she could handle that night without him no problem, and then he doesn't have to spend the night around a bunch of fake people pretending to be having the time of their lives for the cameras while doing coke and drinking or whatever. Win-win.

But of course if JLo showed up to an awards show solo, people would freak out and say they were getting a divorce. He could literally have Covid or have recently broken his leg and people would still be like "oh look Bennifer's already on the rocks, I knew it."

Whatever, these are just people. They are human and flawed liek the rest of us. Maybe she's controlling, maybe he's a mopey jerk, I don't know. I feel like the video of them at the Grammys is like the realest and most relatable thing to happen at the Grammys. I could see my DH and I having a night like that for one of our work functions and your marriage is super solid and we're very happy. Doesn't mean either of us wants to spend the night smiling and glad-handing with a bunch of our spouse's colleagues. It sucks![/quote]
