I wonder if Jen Garner feels like she dodged a bullet with him being someone else’s problem now, or if she feels like he never really loved her and she stood in the way of his happiness all these years?

If this marriage lasts forever, then I think Garner might feel like the big loser.

The one you want to watch is the 1995 version with Amanda Root and Ciaran Hinds.

If they weren’t there, you’d complain that “she didn’t even bring her kids to the ceremony.”

And they are both broken people. No way they make this or any other relationship work. Sorry, not sorry.

Well, because of you all, I went down a rabbit hole of Ben Affleck’s career and alcoholism history and am now watching Argo again.

I think their reunion and marriage is so romantic. Very happy for them and wish them all the best.

+1. She saved a lot of money on this drive-thru wedding. Late night is going to have a lot of fun with this!

+1. It’s like she’s trying to one-up Jennifer Garner by taking his name. No hyphen even.


WTF??

Jennifer is her name. She married a man named Affleck. She’s not trying to one-up the white ex-wife. She’s doing the same thing married women do every day.


Why didn’t she change her name for the other three men she married?

I realize that's sexist, but he seems very needy and she seems drawn to men that are. Ben is probably a little better than Marc Anthony or A-Rod, but still.

I do wish them the best.


Why doesn’t he have to downshift and make the relationship a priority?


Because that's not his personality/not the way he's wired. And more importantly she doesn't want that. She is drawn to dominant men.


No, she's drawn to broken men
