"He was always whining." Jennifer Lopez was "like a mom" to Ben Affleck and was "irritated by his negativity"

Jennifer Lopez has been constantly struggling with the gloomy mood of her husband Ben Affleck, whom she officially filed for divorce from last week - he "was more like her son than her husband," insiders told People.

According to them, Ben, 52, often fell into a "gloomy state" and "did not know how to cope with stress." "He has no coping skills, gets upset easily and is prone to depression. When he is relaxed and in a good mood, he is just amazing to be around. But most of the time, he is unhappy about something. Often, he gets hung up on small things," the source notes. According to the insider, Affleck is very difficult to communicate with, but the actor himself does not attach any importance to this. "He really does not understand how his bad mood affects those around him. It is just unpleasant to be around such negativity."

Lopez, 55, tried to cheer him up. "Jennifer really spent a lot of time making sure Ben was happy and had everything he needed," the insider said. However, she was also irritated by his constant discontent. Lopez's friends also added fuel to the fire: they believed that the singer was not obligated to "babysit" him.

Interestingly, Affleck is doing just fine now. "He thrives when he has projects at work and when it comes to his kids. He does exactly what he wants. He seems very happy."

This was the couple's second attempt to start a family. In 2002, they were already engaged, but broke up because they couldn't handle the pressure that the publicity of their relationship put on their romance. In 2022, they got married, renewing their relationship after a long break, but already this spring, rumors appeared that not everything was so smooth in the couple. Among the evidence for this version was the fact that Ben often looked sullen next to his wife. However, with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner, he often looked exactly like this too: Ben Affleck's eternally dissatisfied face is as old a meme as sad Keanu Reeves. Affleck himself explains his dissatisfied face by the fact that he is always filmed at the most inconvenient moment.
