Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck Forging Separate Paths Amid Lifestyle Differences, Divorce Speculation, Expert Says

An expert reveals Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are currently pursuing separate paths within their marriage.

Speculation suggests that Affleck has distanced himself due to disagreements about lifestyle choices, leading to his decision to move out of their shared residence.

Recently, the 51-year-old actor further fueled divorce speculation by attending his daughter's graduation party solo, adding fuel to the ongoing rumors about their relationship status.

A recent analysis by heartbreak advisor Manj Bahra revealed that both individuals in the couple have distinct desires for their marriage. Despite this, he emphasized that neither Affleck nor Lopez should be blamed for any issues in their relationship.

Speaking to The Mirror, the expert explained, "Many people go back to an ex because they feel they have chemistry with a particular person that they struggle to find with others. However, chemistry is one of the most misleading elements in dating."

He went on to say that experiencing a rush of dopamine can truly feel euphoric, almost akin to the effects of drugs. However, he cautioned that people's emotions are often influenced by familiar patterns or the aftermath of ongoing uncertainty.

"It's the exact mechanism that causes people to become addicted to gambling, drugs, and alcohol - all things we know aren't good for us. The real key to successful relationships is aligned values; without them, relationships are doomed to fail."

In his experience as a coach, Bahra consistently seen that the most profound and fulfilling romances are not always the most glamorous or immediately satisfying. Reflecting on individuals like Lopez and Affleck, he said it is clear that neither party needs to shoulder the blame in such situations.

"This could be a case of two people, each on their path and each wanting something different from their marriage. Yes, this realization hurts, but it also offers an opportunity for self-inquiry and massive transformation."

Bahra said that on numerous occasions, he witnessed heartbreak serving as the driving force behind significant transformations. He shared these thoughts in response to the recent news that Affleck and Lopez are on a break, reflecting on whether their marriage aligns with their paths.

As the couple geared up for Lopez's upcoming 30-date tour, tensions reportedly escalated when she devoted more time to work commitments. Sources suggest that the Batman v. Superman actor feels overwhelmed by the strain on their marriage due to his wife's busier schedule.

According to a statement in Us Magazine, a source revealed that Affleck has been emotionally distant, signaling that the couple may be drifting apart.

There have reportedly been challenges in the communication between the couple, resulting in notable disagreements. Reports suggest that their recent conflicts concern financial matters and parenting decisions.

The insider revealed that Lopez is determined to prioritize their marriage and is even asking for professional support. Though initially apprehensive, the actor has gradually shown more commitment and acknowledged his deep longing for Lopez since allegedly moving out of their shared home.
