Jennifer Lopez doesn’t “seem bothered” by the fact that her husband Ben Affleck is in a “dark place” due to their marital troubles, according to a July 4 report in InTouch Weekly.
The source provided a possible reason for the couple’s marriage hurtling toward divorce and indicated that Lopez had a surprisingly cold response to Affleck’s struggles with the relationship breakdown.
“The funny thing is that when J. Lo announced her tour cancellation, she said she wanted to spend more time with her family, but she spends minimal time with them, and she truly doesn’t seem bothered by what Ben is going through,” the source told InTouch. “Ben, on the other hand, has been very focused on his kids.”
The source told the magazine, “A lot of his second-guessing his marriage to J. Lo happened because he saw how much his divorce from Jen and the frenzy over his relationship with J. Lo affected his children,” adding that Affleck is “in a really dark place.”
Of his loved ones, the source told InTouch: “And when he gets like this, they can’t help but fear the worst.”

Affleck has been getting increasingly frustrated, according to InTouch’s source.
“It’s not surprising he snapped,” a source told InTouch of Affleck of the June 23 incident in which he yelled at photographers taking his picture as he left the mansion he shared with Lopez. “He’s at his breaking point.”
“People close to Ben have been concerned about him for some time because of what he’s gone through in the past couple of months,” the source told InTouch.
The source told InTouch that Jennifer Garner is trying to help Affleck.
“Jen always jumps into action when he gets this way,” the source told InTouch. “She’s been visiting his house a lot to make sure he’s OK, and that probably wouldn’t have gone over well with J. Lo, even if they were living in separate wings.”
