Lopez made sure Affleck was happy in her marriage
A source said Lopez “dedicated a lot of time to making sure Ben was happy and had everything he needed.” They continued, “The way she cared for him was almost childlike. Friends constantly reminded her that she is not responsible for his feelings. He is very moody and gloomy at times. Jennifer appreciates life in a different way. She is very grateful for everything,” People reports.
The former Hollywood couple spent the summer on opposite coasts while Lopez enjoyed international vacations. Meanwhile, Affleck was busy with the filming schedule for his upcoming movie, The Accountant 2.
Affleck “has never handled stress well,” said a source close to his ex-wife Jennifer Garner, with whom he has three children. The source continued: “He doesn’t handle stress well. He gets frustrated easily and tends to be moody. When he’s relaxed and in a good mood, he’s wonderful to be around. But more often he’s upset or frustrated.”
The source explained that Affleck gets upset over very small issues and doesn’t understand how his bad mood affects the people around him. The source said, “Often it’s just something small that he gets hung up on. He really doesn’t understand how his bad mood affects the people around him. It’s just not fun to be surrounded by that kind of negativity.”
