How Jennifer Lopez's Ben Affleck Love Story Documentary Hurt Marriage (Source)

A source tells ET, Jennifer Lopez feels ‘duped’ by how quickly Ben Affleck ‘checked out’ of their roughly two-year marriage.

Too much social media, too many interviews, too much disclosure and not enough privacy and sanctity of marriage.

[agegracefully]

The fact that she didn’t know that sharing all of his love letters with the entire world would hurt her marriage is just bizarre.

[pegggymallis]

Privacy is underrated. JLO doesn't know to not tell the world her family issues.

20 years ago Ben left Jen because he didn’t like all of the social media attention, it looks like history is repeating itself

Jennifer Lopez learned absolutely nothing from their breakup 20 years ago. Upon reuniting, she IMMEDIATELY tries to monetize their supposed "fairytale, second chance" story rather than focusing on the actual relationship and what Ben wanted (a more private relationship). It's hard to feel terribly sorry for her when so much of this could have been prevented. However, I wish them the best...

If my spouse made a unilateral decision to disclose to the public our private lives, including private conversations and correspondence, I would freak out. He probably thought the documentary was going to be about her, not him and her. Cringe. Absolutely cringe!!!

My mouth dropped when she said she shared EVERY SINGLE love letter and email that Ben ever sent her from 20 years ago to NOW. 😮 Wow, how embarrassing and violated Ben must feel 😮 Those were supposed to be PRIVATE but she put them on display for the world to see??? I'm sure he made himself emotionally vulnerable to her in those letters and she exposed him!!! Why would she do that?!? It really does seem like she's trying to prove something. She was so hurt from the first breakup so she had to "prove" to others that he wanted her but hurt her relationship with him in the process. He left her because she didn't respect his privacy and the privacy of their relationship. She treated it like a spectacle and an entertainment deal to make money off of from the public's consumption. She will forever be heartbroken 💔 😢

I support Ben! Totally understand him! He just wants privacy, be comfortable and happy.

Jlo desperately tries to stay the "IT GIRL" by keeping herself in the news and in the headlines. Someone needs to tell her that her time is up.

[lavienestpasunlongfleuvetr]

JLo sharing all that deeply private correspondence must've felt really disrespectful to Ben. It probably made her a lot less attractive to him.
That said, he really should've gotten to know her a lot better before marrying her, or better yet, not married her at all, because after 3 divorces, sustaining abmarriage clearly isn't in her wheelhouse.

[zerocoolist]

I think Ben would disagree that her love don't cost a thing.

[john_wick]

JLo can make another documentary about their divorce

[vrnka.s]

She could've just respected his privacy... She reminds me of teenage girls with main character syndrome that are obsessed with the idea of having a boyfriend

[amaris]

She right up there with will and Jada. Too much personal information.

[bolotabr]

Once Jennifer shared the love letters Ben was done.

[Arsenalfanever]

She selfish !!!! Those letters were meant to remain private and if she really loved him she would of sacrificed her attention seeking ways 😢

It was over when the musicians started calling him Pen Affleck.

Who’s surprised?? Their relationship was broadcasted all over social media and there were too many interviews and not enough privacy for the two of them. JLO is someone who likes being in spotlight, Ben doesn’t like being in the spotlight and prefers his relationship to be more private. You can tell in the documentary that he wasn’t really happy about JLO sharing so much about their relationship. I’m not surprised at all that this relationship didn’t work at all, Jane Fonda was completely right. Ben and JLO broke up the first time because of all of the pressure from the media, so I truly don’t understand why JlO thought that broadcasting their relationship everywhere would he a good idea. It’s okay to keep some things private.

She is an older woman, but she acts like she’s a 15 year old teenager. All that she does and cares about all the time is taking pics, playing with the filters to alter them and then show to the world how “beautiful” she is. It’s time to grow up Jlow. Be a mother, be mindful and spend more time with your kids, it’s time to raise them.

She also set up a drinks line despite knowing her husband is a recovering alcoholic so she’s a little tone deaf as a partner all round.
