Ben Affleck felt 'trapped' in his marriage to Jennifer Garner

According to Ben Affleck, divorce from Jennifer Garner, the mother of his three children, saved him from alcoholism.

The former Batman and the

star

were married from 2005 to 2018 and are the parents of Violet (16), Seraphina (12) and Samuel (9).

After their split, the

actor

has repeatedly been admitted to rehab and has made no secret of his battle with his alcohol addiction.

A step in his life that he would not have considered if he had remained married.

“Our marriage didn't work, it happens.

[I was] with someone I love and respect but who I shouldn't be married to any longer.

We tried, because we have children.

But none of us wanted this to be the kind of marriage our children would model, ”explained the comedian at Howard Stern's microphone on SiriusXM (relayed by People).

Make the right choice

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner announced their separation in 2015, with their divorce finalized three years later.

“I would still drink [if I hadn't been divorced].

That's part of why I started drinking… Because I felt trapped.

I told myself that I couldn't leave because of the children, but I was not happy.

I didn't know what to do and I turned to the bottle of scotch, fell asleep on the couch, and it turned out that wasn't the right thing to do, ”he added.

The actor is now in a relationship with Jennifer Lopez, with whom he was engaged between 2002 and 2004.
