As you’ve probably heard, it’s beginning to look like it’s officially over between Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner.
Sources say Ben and Jen haven’t seen each other in a month and neither party is even attempting to patch things up. In fact, these two are so dun-zo that Jen has reportedly moved to Montreal, leaving Ben behind in LA.
Not exactly the actions of a woman who’s desperate to save her marriage.
At first, most sources blamed the split entirely on Ben. After all, he’s reportedly been drinking heavily, gambling and cheating with Emily Ratajkowski, and we imagine that would be enough to push even the most patient wife to the edge.
Now, however, Radar Online is reporting that it was actually a series of disagreements about the proper way to raise their children that led to Ben and Jen calling it quits.
One insider says it all started with an argument about where the kids should attend school:
“Jen went ballistic," the insider says. "Ben felt Jen overreacted, and that led to a huge divide between them. Ben felt she wasn’t supporting him and vice versa.
"His friends have tried to advise him that he has to support her, but Jen feels he left her hanging…He hasn’t gone back to her to try to fix her hurt feelings. Like, he just doesn’t care. Ben doesn’t want drama so he hasn’t confronted her.”
This news jibes with an earlier report that claims Jen moved to Montreal in the belief that the city offered a better environment and better schools for her kids.
In the event of a divorce (which seems like a foregone conclusion at this point), the insider says there’s no doubt that "Jen’s going to try for full custody."
Considering the extent of Ben’s recent bad behavior, we imagine she won’t have to fight very hard for that outcome.
