Jennifer Lopez’s attempt to save her marriage to Ben Affleck has reportedly backfired, causing the couple to grow further apart.
According to In Touch Weekly, Lopez persuaded Affleck to attend couple’s therapy, but he agreed only reluctantly, describing the process as “humiliating.”
While Affleck “believes in therapy, to a point,” he is not inclined to rely on it to determine the success of their marriage, the report claimed. A source close to the couple stated that Affleck is willing to participate with an open mind despite his disdain for the process.
“He’s never going to gauge the success of this marriage by what happens in the therapist’s office,” the source explained. “He also has a higher tolerance for conflict and having to fight to get his way than the average guy.”
The insider, who claimed to have known the Hollywood stars for more than a decade, added that for Affleck and Lopez, “everything is a fight.”
“The only satisfaction he gets in life is overcoming when the odds are stacked against him,” the source further commented on Affleck.
