Ben Affleck is not handling his split from Jennifer Lopez well. The Gone Girl star is having difficulty processing the fact that his marriage is over, which is having a nasty effect on him. Ben’s friends claim he has been so miserable lately that he has developed a ‘bad attitude,’ making it hard to tolerate him.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are reportedly close to finalizing their divorce. However, as JLo and Ben continue to hash out their issues, his friends reveal that they have seen a significant change in his personality, and it is not good.
Insiders tell In Touch that Affleck’s friends are bailing on him because they find him difficult to be around. They say that the actor is always sulking and moping around, and it is getting to be too much for even his closest friends to deal with.
“With his latest marriage in shambles and the weight of the world on his shoulders thanks to his responsibilities at his new studio, Artists Equity, Ben has a lot on his plate and clearly doesn’t have the time and energy he needs to devote to his closest and longest held friendships,” the insider reveals.
Ben Affleck Throws Himself Into His Work
Recent reports also imply that Jennifer Lopez is not making the split easy on Ben. She wants to try to work things out and refuses to entirely give up hope, which is also taking its toll on Ben. He wants to move things along so that he and Jennifer can each pick up the pieces and move on with their lives.
His work has become his refuge, a place where he can escape the turmoil of his personal life. The source adds that Ben is trying to stay focused on his upcoming film project, RIP, with longtime friend Matt Damon. “That’s just how Ben deals with adversity now that he’s committed to staying sober,” the source continues.
The insider suggests that Ben Affleck is on the verge of losing many close friends due to his attitude. There’s a glimmer of hope in the air, a belief that Ben will eventually overcome his struggles and return to his former self, but it might take some time. But at this point in the game it is unknown how much more his friends can tolerate before they have to step away.
