Nasty.
I remember Jennifer’s quote about that tattoo he got in Vanity Fair after the divorce.

I mean, good luck to them, but I would not be saying stuff like "he never acted that way with Jenn." Ben has got some problems and I would not romanticize this dude, any relationship with him is a huge risk and do not expect stability. He is an addict and a gambler to boot, so I don't understand why women here are romanticizing him.
Here's the quote I was talking about, from the post-break-up Vanity Fair article:
"He’s the most brilliant person in any room, the most charismatic, the most generous. He’s just a complicated guy. I always say, ‘When his sun shines on you, you feel it.’ But when the sun is shining elsewhere, it’s cold. He can cast quite a shadow.”
I remember this statement. I thought it was the absolute most revealing thing either of them said about the other and the most truthful. It was kind of devastating too.
Classic Narcissist. His addictions go hand and hand with it.
Yep.
Love bomb, devalue, discard.

Yes he will. I would bet money on it. These two will have kids or she'll move on.
She will move on.
Despite his addiction and lack of restraint, he’s a traditional guy with traditional values. He’s also a snob. He doesn’t want multiple baby mamas.
Upper class folk (think: law firm partner) might have multiple wives or girlfriends, but they only have kids with one woman. That’s his family. He respects Jen as a mother to their kids. He won’t add step siblings to the mix.
I agree that he is traditional and a bit of a snob. But he’s a sloppy addict so I think unless Jen got him to get a vasectomy on the way out (which maybe she did) he might pop up with another “oopsie baby.”
Having unprotected sex with your 30-yo live-in girlfriend for months on end isn't an "oops". It's a deliberate pregnancy by both parties involved.Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Ben isn’t having a kid with anyone. He has a family with Jen: that’s his family. No more babies.

+1 It's clear he's madly in love with her. So if she wants kids, they'll have kids. I feel terrible for Jennifer Garner, he never acted that way with her.
