According to a source connected to Lopez, she invested serious effort into ensuring Affleck’s happiness during their marriage. “She devoted considerable time and energy to make sure Ben felt content and had his needs met,” the insider shared with PEOPLE. “Her care for him was almost like parenting.

Adding to the drama, a source close to Affleck’s previous wife, Jennifer Garner, revealed that he has struggled with stress and emotional regulation. “Ben has always had difficulty managing stress,” the source stated. “He lacks effective coping mechanisms and often becomes frustrated and moody.
When he’s in a relaxed and positive mood, he’s wonderful to be around, but those moments are rare. His irritability often stems from minor issues, and he doesn’t always recognize how his negativity impacts others.” Garner and Affleck share three children from their previous marriage.
Despite these insights into his personal struggles, recent images of Affleck show him in high spirits, enjoying a takeaway at his home. This juxtaposition of his public demeanor against the backdrop of his recent split highlights the ongoing problems of his personal life.
