Jennifer Garner Was Fed Up With Ben Affleck’s Destructive Behavior

Though the world may be shocked to hear that Hollywood sweethearts Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner have decided to part ways, the former couple’s friends say that they are surprised that the two managed to stay together for so long.

As a matter of fact, a well-informed source reveals that Ben and Jennifer have always been very open about their marriage problems and knew that their split was inevitable. Garner’s close friend confirms that they had their ups and downs in the past few years, but adds that Jennifer wouldn’t have given up if there wasn’t a good reason to put an end to their 10-year-long marriage.

The actress’ other friends say that Ben’s wild behavior took its toll on their relationship, though Affleck himself denies cheating rumors. Whatever the case, Jennifer was sick and tired of Ben’s drinking and gambling and decided to do what’s best for her and their three kids. To quote Garner’s friends:

“She loved Ben. But there comes a time when you have to say enough is enough and take care of yourself.”
