Former Batman movie star Ben Affleck recently reflected on his relationship with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner and called his divorce the "biggest regret" of his life.
Earlier this week, the 47-year-old acclaimed movie star and director Ben Affleck spoke to the New York Times, where he talked in detail about his life and his fight with alcoholism. During the interview, he discussed in length as what led to the decline of his 10-year long marriage to Jennifer Garner.
"People with compulsive behaviour, and I am one, have this kind of basic discomfort all the time that they're trying to make go away," Ben Affleck told the outlet during his candid interview. "You're trying to make yourself feel better with eating or drinking or sex or gambling or shopping or whatever. But that ends up making your life worse.
Then you do more of it to make that discomfort go away. Then the real pain starts. It becomes a vicious cycle you can't break."
In addition to this, Ben Affleck talked about alcohol consumption and stated that he drank relatively normally for most of his married life to Jennifer Garner but when things started to go south in marriage in 2015 or 2016, he began drinking heavily which further created marital problems. "The biggest regret of my life is this divorce," revealed Affleck.
