Why would he say something like this. It is so mean and his ex has been incredibly kind. I think the trapped feeling was that she was pregnant when they married but he had two more kids after so he kept it going for awhile. I am guessing Jen G can be controlling but maybe she is controlling because she was married to a child. I hope this new/old relationship works for the sake of his kids.

I think he's kind of a douche, but I didn't think the quotes were that bad. He laid the blame for the drinking on himself, praised Garner as a mom, and was real about the fact that the marriage didn't work.

The US Weekly headline definitely sensationalizes it.

Whether he and JLo last remains to be seen. I think she's a force and isn't going to compromise a lot. It's a recipe for success, but he may not be able to keep up.

I LOVE Jennifer Garner, so I feel like this is a betrayal, but there is something I like about the idea of Bennifer 2.0 being Hollywood's GenX glamour couple a la Annette Benning and Warren Beatty.

OMG these fools are nothing like Annette Benning and Warren Beatty.

Didn’t he say the divorce was his biggest regret a few years ago, in a different interview? He’s rationalizing now.

I think it can be a huge regret that the marriage didn't work and divorce was the conclusion. I have never gotten the impression that he wanted to get back together.

Ben hasn’t killed someone, so Alec wins.

lol JLo is a million times more high maintenance and needy than Jennifer Garner.
I hope Jennifer Garner is happy. She seems like such a lovely person.

Desperate. Desperate. Desperate.

Can there be a bigger a$$ in Hollywood? Maybe it’s a tie between Ben and Alec Baldwin.

He got her pregnant....all three times.

As if his feelings, trapped or otherwise, are the most important, driving thing. This is how he's like a teenager.

They look gross together.

Ironically, Howard Stern has really never thrown his ex wife under the bus by suggesting how she might have made him feel or really ever even remotely bringing her into it. He always has mostly just spoken to his own limitations. Candidly. This one should take a lesson. Children and marriage and a big career are all heavy sh*t to bear sometimes. Feeling trapped is not so unusual and as a long married who has weathered stretches like this, it also does not necessitate divorce so he actually does not end up garnering (a Freudian slip!) the sympathy he is looking for.

Men like this....prone to feeling trapped and victimized by commitments, to children, wives, to work, ... who then act out by using are such sources of pain.How about saying, "you know I relapsed rather than deal with my struggles in my marriage. I should have gone back to treatment, I should have faced it, we could have dealt with it better. I didn't do that.....I just acted out and avoided dealing my struggles in a healthy way". Better no? Does not bring her into it by inference or suggest how she made you feel. In other words, take responsibility. I imagine so many things his former wife coukd have said about him in the throes of his relapse...hurtful, embarrassing things. She really never did. A shame he could not be as gracious.

Um....if he needs to find a less controlling person so as to avoid his propensity for feeling trapped can someone please inform him he probably barked up the wrong tree?
