Ben Affleck casts blame on Jennifer Garner for his drinking problem

lzbth · 2021-12-16T03:57:31+00:00

I’d like to take this moment to post the following photo where we can spot Jennifer Garner being totally over Ben’s bullshit and driving him to rehab WELL after they had already decided to divorce and WELL after he started living on his own, free of the “trap” that was his marriage:

Ben Affleck was already in rehab a few years before even dating Jennifer Garner. His problem was already there.

This is nothing more than a self-pitying, personal responsibility dodging alcoholic blaming the people around him for his own failures. She existed around him, which apparently makes her to blame? What a scrote.

Ha, I saw that and thought of this sub immediately.

I love these guys who feel equal parts trapped and self-righteous martyrdom by staying "f0r ThE cHiLdrEn"... despite EVERY SPECIALIST IN THE UNIVERSE saying it actually harms children, and it's better to split early and as amicably as possible. We see you, scrotes!! You're not doing a damn thing for anyone but your weak ass selves. You're scared to leave, that's all it is. You know you gave shit effort and you're sticking around until she's had enough and finally walks away and you can play the victim.

Honestly this is typical abusive addict behaviour. If they’re not recovering deeply, they always blame and project. And they’re never happy.

If he was really recovering, he’d be “living amends” according to the 12 steps. He would be apologizing for causing catastrophe in his ex-wife’s life and be doing everything he can to be positive and helpful. Instead he’s dishonouring her publicly.

Look at how Russell Brand (an ex heroin addict and sex addict who actually tries to live a life in recovery) talks about Katy Perry nowadays. Nothing but respect even if they didn’t have children.

I feel for Jennifer.

For me, the ultimate sign of NVM is a man who blames his failures on others. His mother, ex-wife and the government are always top-3 reasons why he's poor, unkempt, unmotivated, addicted etc. And if you try to help him, be sure he'll never-ever gonna give you any credit. Always gonna be "Yes, I did it all myself" not "Yes, my partner helped me immeasurably".

Jaelismyhomegirl · 2021-12-16T06:32:33+00:00

Is he blaming getting fat on her, too?

lostmillenia · 2021-12-16T13:17:17+00:00

No wonder he played his role in Gone Girl so well, he didn’t have to act

thanarealnobody · 2021-12-16T04:23:34+00:00

He felt trapped by his devoted wife and three healthy children? Poor guy 🥺 Pretty heroic of him to become an alcoholic and cheat on his wife and then talk shit about her in a public interview after the divorce. I know that there are women that are threatened with violence if they try to leave a marriage but I think that Ben Affleck is the true victim here.

extraodi · 2021-12-16T08:57:30+00:00

Reminds me of the time when my ex’s over-involved mother said I was the source of her son’s misery.

onceuponasea · 2021-12-16T03:15:14+00:00

He’s disgusting. The guy looks like he never showers.

asupernova91 · 2021-12-16T13:48:21+00:00

Lmao as if, that woman is an angel. One of my tattoos is done by the same guy who tattooed him and the stories he told me 🤢 I wonder if he also blames her for the amount of cocaine he was doing.

KateJ1982 · 2021-12-16T16:17:55+00:00

I was trapped in a miserable marriage because I’m such a great dad I stayed for the kids’ sake. I took quality parenting to a a new level as I sat on the couch and drank bottles of liquor. FOR THE KIDS. Also I screwed their nanny. Again, not my fault.

He’s an embarrassment to men. I think less of Jlo for being with him now.

DuchessDurag · 2021-12-16T05:43:28+00:00

Alcoholic men start at young age not during adulthood and starting a family. Very disrespectful to his ex wife and family. Alcoholics believe their own lies.

queenofswordsxxx · 2021-12-16T09:24:57+00:00

This shows how you can be the most demure, Christian, pickmeisha good girl and a man’s accusing finger will still find you

tiedyetoothpicks · 2021-12-16T14:44:46+00:00

I'd bet all the money in my bank account that what was really so "hard" about that marriage for him is the forced self reflection that takes place when you are partnered with someone more emotionally mature than you. Guys like him will fight against self awareness with every fiber of their being, and blame everyone else around them for being sooo difficult by simply pointing out all the ways in which they are failing their marriage and family. In fact often their families don't even directly address these things, they tip toe around them and the scrote will STILL get angry because it hurts his fragile little ego to see the people around him not enjoying his company.

My ex was just like this. I was the big bad guy for daring to bring up the ways in which his behavior was hurting me. Making him feel bad about himself was the ultimate sin.

lucidlotus · 2021-12-16T15:19:43+00:00

Saw this. What an ass. And casting blame for his addiction is a huge sign he hasn’t begun to comprehend his issues, much less make a solid attempt at recovery.

To even dare to say he felt “trapped”… No one is trapped in a marriage unless their finances and life situation make it impossible to leave. What about the women in abusive marriages who have very few to no options? Cry me a river, privileged white man. We don’t care.

ChgItToRayGunYouFuck · 2021-12-16T16:26:04+00:00

Oh, cool. Another rich white guy never dealing with his own fucking problems and blaming everything on his SO. How original.

saint-jezebel · 2021-12-16T14:48:22+00:00

I feel not one piece bad for him. From the minute him and JLo broke up and he got with Garner, even as young as I was, I thought to myself he is going to be a waste of her time and here we are… all these years later… and he’s done nothing but waste her time and is now being a victim. He even played victim when he and JLo broke up and the reasons why. He’s a weak, can’t take accountability man, but we’re supposed to feel sorry for you? Ok.

myeggsarebig · 2021-12-16T11:06:44+00:00

He could have said a million different reasons for his drinking and he chose his marriage, to JG specifically.

If he was truly committed to recovery, he would have said something like: I’m a womanizer narc, and when my narc source runs low, I feel like shit, so I drink to excess, and abandon my wife and children.

He’d never say that because he’s a scrote.

broogaloo · 2021-12-16T17:49:02+00:00

This reminds me of one of my NV exes that tried to blame me leaving him for his urge to break into cars and steal things. He called me, drunk as a skunk, to moan that I had made him do horrible things and commit petty crimes, and if I had only stayed his life wouldn’t have spiraled. Gross.

hushpuppyebt · 2021-12-16T15:53:33+00:00

Imagine being his kids too. “Do I stay for the kids?” It’s any one’s fault but their own.

Quebeks · 2021-12-16T16:23:08+00:00

Sounds like my ex who blamed me for his meth addiction.

ferociouslycurious · 2021-12-16T17:40:04+00:00

He’s so over the top that male radio DJs are calling b.s. on him in my area. But we know there are listeners believing him anyway.

Uhhh Jennifer??? I doubt it Ben. Take a look in the mirror.

dallyan · 2021-12-16T18:23:19+00:00

The nerve of this pendejo.

alphasquish · 2021-12-17T04:58:01+00:00

I posted about this too! Ben is so skeevy, he deserves to be doubly scrote roasted!
