Jennifer Garner has made a difficult decision regarding her complicated relationship with her ex-husband, Ben Affleck. She decided it was high time she stepped away from him and his current ongoing marital drama with his estranged wife, Jennifer Lopez.
Ben Affleck has always had Jennifer Garner to lean on. Despite their divorce, the former couple have remained co-parents and close friends, a testament to Jennifer’s unwavering support. When JLo and Ben first split, Jennifer Garner was a shoulder for Ben to cry on. She stayed close because she feared for his sobriety. But now, months after the initial estrangement from Lopez, she feels it is time for him to stand on his own.
Jennifer Garner’s commitment to Ben Affleck has strained her life and relationship with longtime boyfriend John Miller. OK Magazine sources claim John Miller put his foot down with Garner, revealing he has had enough of her being on constant calls for Ben.
While Ben Affleck may be a bit blindsided by this act, Jen’s pals deem it necessary. “John is tired of weekends and holidays he could be spending with Jen, who is being taken up by her therapy sessions with Ben,” an insider shared. So, Jen let Ben know it’s his mess to clean up aloneโand she’s out of it,” the source spilled. He’s officially on his own.”
Jennifer Garner Advised To Set Strict Boundaries For Ben Affleck
Jennifer Garner’s boyfriend John Miller is not the only one who feels it is time for her to put some distance between herself and Ben Affleck. Her closest friends, deeply concerned for her well-being, have warned the actress that she needs to place some strict boundaries for Ben.
“Some friends believe Jen shouldย step backย from Ben a bit because it might cause tension in her relationship with John if she doesnโt,” the insider added. “Sheโll always love Ben. Thatโs a given. Heโs still the father of her children.”
They also feel that Ben is becoming too dependent on Jennifer. He is becoming too comfortable with her always being available to talk him down. No one wants to see Ben succumb to his old self-destructive habits, but Jennifer Garner is not responsible for babysitting Ben.
Now that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s divorce looks imminent, it is time for Ben to stand on his own. This will be the first time in a long time that Ben will be genuinely all on his own. It will be an adjustment, but a necessary one for both him and Jennifer Garner, especially if he wants to maintain a healthy relationship with her and John Miller and start to move on with his life.
