Jennifer Garner ended her marriage because she was 'fed up' with Ben's gambling, drinking

TMZ claims Jennifer Garner ended her marriage to Ben Affleck because she was fed up with his gambling and drinking. The couple announced their split in a joint statement yesterday.

TMZ reports
Jennifer Garner reached her breaking point with Ben Affleck's drinking and gambling, and that's why she pulled the plug on their marriage ... sources connected with the couple tell TMZ. Our sources not surprisingly have 2 views of what happened ... some align with him and some with her.
The Jen sources say Ben's drinking and gambling have escalated over the last few years to the point "she couldn't take it anymore." Ben's sources also say he likes to drink and loves to gamble ... in fact Ben has rhapsodized about gambling in interviews.
Sources say "partying" had nothing to do with their problems. Ben did not go out and did not womanize ... Jen complained he just drank and gambled too much.
As for our Ben sources, they say it's really just about 2 people who want to live their lives differently. His people say they've been in therapy for more than 2 years -- he even mentioned his marital problems during his 2013 Oscar acceptance speech. They add the couple has been separated for 10 months, so there was no recent "breaking point."
Ben's gambling is well-documented. TMZ got photos of the actor last September during a high-stakes blackjack session in Detroit. And TMZ broke the story, Ben was banned from the Hard Rock in Vegas in late April 2014 for counting cards.
The other thing our Ben sources say ... he wins big in gambling.

Hope That Does Not Disappoint
Jul 01, 2015
Today, we express hope as if we can’t be sure what will really happen. We say, “I hope I will win that prize. I hope it won’t rain tomorrow. I hope everything works out well.”

But “hope” in the Bible is a confident and positive expectation of good. God wants you to have a confident expectation of good because as His child, He favors you. Because Christ is in you, the hope of glory (Colossians 1:27), you can expect the glory of God to shine into every area of your life, including your family, job, ministry, health and finances!

God’s Word says, “Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.” You may have experienced disappointed hopes, but there is a hope that does not disappoint when you are conscious of how much God loves you. It is a hope that springs from the heart of God, who loves you very much.

It is interesting that the first mention of the Holy Spirit in the book of Romans is tied up with the love of God. The book of Romans is considered foundational for Christians. Could it be that the first thing the Holy Spirit wants to do is to establish in our hearts that God loves us? Many people think that the Holy Spirit has come to teach us about power. But the truth is that the Holy Spirit has come not to reveal the love for power, but the power of love!

My friend, you may have just lost your job. But if you can say, “Jesus loves me this I know,” you can also say, “I believe that I will get a better job tomorrow.

When you believe that God loves you, you will have a positive expectation of good. You will have a hope that does not disappoint. So be careful what you hope for because you are bound to get it!

Thought For The Day
Being conscious of how much God loves you gives you a hope that does not disappoint.

Serious addiction there. So unfortunate it affected his marital life.

I'm sure she didn't have any other choice but to divorce. Divorce is not an easy thing but before a married woman with kids agrees to a divorce, it means shez fed up with the man's attitude.

Ok

Gone are the days of " for better for worse" the next guy u meet cud end up being a womanizer or something worse and u end up divorcing. The problem with couples today is tolerance , no one can ever Be perfect . His career is not going down and they never mentioned hr gets drunk recklessly or looses big in gamble. People just don't keep faith and patience with God these days

THE NAIJAGRAPHY BLOG said...

Most Nigerian women will die in silence all because they want to still have the Mrs. In front of their names.
Ben needs to change his habits fast before he hits rock bottom.
