It seems like every few months, there is a rumor circulating about Ben Affleck's marriage to Jennifer Garner being on the rocks. Perhaps it's because this is one Hollywood couple that tends to keep their life together pretty private so whenever there seems to be a second of confusion or drama, everyone reads into it. It might also be because we know that Affleck has had some demons in his past (gambling, cheating, strippers, etc.) that have gotten him into trouble and so whenever it looks like he may have slipped up even a little, people expect the worst. A recent fight with his wife reportedly sent Affleck running, minus his wedding band.
According to a new report by Radar Online, "Affleck fled to a Buddhist monastery in Canada to "get his head straight" after a fight with Garner!
"During his stay on a remote island, the 42-year-old Oscar winner was caught on video without his wedding ring — remarkably just 24 hours before Garner's 43rd birthday. Ben is in the grips of a mid-life crisis. He's trying to figure out what he wants out of life, and find a path back to being a good husband. He's on a 'self discovery' mission, and talking through his marital issues. He's at a crossroads." explains a source.
We know that Affleck has certainly hit a bit of a personal rough patch lately and has admitted to trying to hide the fact that one of his ancestors was a slave owner. Garner has also made it pretty clear that she intends to work more in the coming year. These two usually take turns working and juggling their three children and that seems to work pretty well for them. In the past, Garner has stuck to somewhat smaller roles while allowing her husband to be front and center but she does seem to be craving a bit more of that spotlight that she has sacrificed for motherhood in recent years. Don't forget, before settling in and putting her family first, it was actually Garner that was the brightest star in this marriage.
Do you believe that there is really trouble in their marriage? Or do you think that maybe Affleck decided to do some soul searching of his own after that recent scandal threw him for a bit of a loop, but that has little to do with the quality of his marriage?
