Jennifer Lopez tried really hard to keep Ben Affleck happy but he's 'dark and moody'

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez in happier times.

It wasn’t in their destiny to have a happily-ever-after but reports suggest that Jennifer Lopez tried hard to make this marriage work. She didn’t just work on herself but also spent a lot of time “making sure Ben was happy and had everything he needed.”

Reports suggest that Jennifer Lopez is relieved after filing the divorce papers because a lot of her energy and time was being spent on the Gone Girl actor with no positive outcome. While Jennifer Lopez filed divorce papers on August 20, she mentioned that their actual date of separation is April 26 and they were sure within two years of marriage that this wouldn’t last.

In the papers, Jennifer Lopez mentions “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their split.

Jennifer Lopez tried to keep him happy during their marriage

A source said, Jennifer Lopez “did spend a lot of time making sure Ben was happy and had everything he needed. The way she cared for him was almost childlike. Friends constantly reminded her that she was not responsible for his feelings. He’s very moody and dark at times. Jennifer appreciates life in another way. She’s very grateful for everything.”

All that negativity and his mood swings were getting to her in the process.

Ben Affleck doesn't know how to handle stress

Ben Affleck has never been great at handling stress. He did the same while he was married to ex-Jennifer Garner, with whom he has three children. The source continued, “He doesn’t have good coping skills. He gets easily frustrated and tends to be moody. When he’s relaxed and in a good mood, it’s amazing to be around him. But more often, he’s upset or frustrated.”Also read:Ben Affleck is 'needy' and has caused stress in ex Jennifer Garner and John Miller's relationship

“Many times, it’s just something small that he gets stuck on. He really doesn’t understand how his bad mood affects people around him. It’s just not fun being around that kind of negativity.”

The divorce is doing them both good. Ben Affleck was seen in high spirits as he stepped out for dinner with best friend Matt Damon and his wifeJLo too is doing better.
