[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An interesting 1999 interview with Ben is resurfacing.

He says most of his exes despise him. He says it is because he is unhappy and passive in relationships and when he finally has enough, he  just ghosts the partner one day and stops playing along. It seems his pattern of behavior hasn’t changed

PLAYBOY: Are other former girlfriends generally pissed off at you?
AFFLECK: Mostly, yeah.

PLAYBOY: Why?
AFFLECK: Probably justifiably so. If I were the next guy to go out with them I'm sure I would be nodding in agreement about what an a-hole their ex-boyfriend was. It's not like I was a womanizer or physically abusive or psychologically abusive or whatever. It's just that these relationships never end well. I think what happens is, I end up wanting to be out of the relationship. During the course of a relationship, if you get dissatisfied and unhappy and don't say something, if you don't deal with it right then, it just festers and stays there. So instead of saying, "Look, don't do that, please don't act this way," I go along with it until I just don't want to be in the relationship at all. Then I create some incident or do something or just don't call. And then she's pissed. And I can't necessarily blame her at that point since I've developed such a passive-aggressive rage that I have no sympathy and tell her, "Well of course I didn't call you. If you weren't such a nagging, shrewish harpy I'd call you." But that hopefully is something I'm growing out of.[/quote]

LOL to think we’ve spent 40 pages analyzing Ben affleck, and he laid it all out there 25 years ago. Good detective work PP.[/quote]

+1 I'm amazed at his self awareness. Most guys wouldn't admit that they're passive aggressive and too wimpy to deal with an issue[/quote]

Passive aggression is psychological abuse in a relationship so he was wrong in that self assessment [/quote]
