If you’re going through a separation, try to avoid the back-and-forth deliberation in front of others.
Yes, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, I’m talking to you.
This is worse than the time Charlotte York-MacDougal separated from Dr. Trey MacDougal in what was the longest storyline in Sex and the City‘s history (according to me).
On July 30th 2015, Affleck and Garner issued a joint statement confirming that their ten-year marriage was over.
“After much thought and careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to divorce.
We go forward with love and friendship for one another and a commitment to co-parenting our children whose privacy we ask to be respected during this difficult time.”
As is customary with a very public marriage, the breakdown of theirs was all over the papers.
Did Affleck cheat on Garner? Was Garner too irritating as a wife? Did Affleck bop the 20-something nanny and give her a Lexus?
Fast-forward almost a year, and the estranged couple seem to be on good terms. So good that they took their children to Paris for a family vacation.
Ben wants Jen back,” a source told People Magazine.
“Ben wants to get back together. He wants her back.”
I think he wants her back.
What about Garner? Is she ready to put the past behind them and reconcile?
“Jen is not ready to take Ben back,” another source said.
“Ben has never been good alone and isn’t now either. But he is constantly working on himself. He has made big changes.”
Ultimately, it looks like the couple – who have three children together – will forge ahead with the split.
“Nothing has changed [in their relationship],” another source close to Garner and Affleck confirmed.
“They’re still all about putting the kids first.”
Rip the Band-Aid off, you two.
