Sandra And George And Rules

[Blind Gossip] When someone is leaving rehab, they are usually given a set of guidelines to help them maintain their newfound sobriety.

Even if you’ve never been to rehab yourself, if you’ve seen the movie 28 Days starring Sandra Bullock, you are familiar with these rules. Some of them include 1. Don’t drink 2. Don’t date 3. Go to meetings.

This actor’s wife has been stalling on finalizing their divorce, hoping against hope that he would take rehab seriously and take the need for sobriety seriously.

Well, our actor is no Sandra Bullock. While her character managed to stay sober after she left rehab, our actor went 0-for-3 on the rules within days of getting out.

His wife is not happy about this.

She is now resigned to the fact that he is never going to get sober. She says he is like Danny Ocean planning his next robbery the first day he gets our of jail in Ocean’s 11. He’s incorrigible.

Interesting analogy… but our actor is no George Clooney, either!

  2. Affleck and Jen Garner of course. I feel badly for both of them and especially their kids. So sad. Such an awful disease.

  3. Actor: Ben Affleck
    Clues: George Clooney reference – he also played Batman years before Affleck did

  4. Ben Affleck

    3rd rehab stint
    Batman references with George + Ben
    His bff was in Oceans 11 with George
    Wifey is Jen Gardner finalizing divorce

  5. Ben Affleck.

    Optional: I think she really wants what’s best for the kids. It’s a shame he’s so willing to throw away what he has. And sad for those kids.

  11. Garner & Affleck
    Optional: No. He won’t get sober unless it’s HIM that wants it. She needs to stop forcing the issue.

  12. Affleck/Garner
    Optional: YES!!
    I’m side-eyeing the headlines saying he completed a 40-day treatment program. He really didn’t. I don’t consider a short stint in rehab (considering his lifelong chronic inability to stay sober despite consequences) where he constantly skipped out to business meetings etc., “completing” a rehab program. I’ve never disliked Affleck and wish him the best but come on. He has too many ‘yes’ men and he needs LONG TERM treatment.

  15. Actor: Ben Affleck
    Clues: Ben went to rehab, Jen just filed to finalize the divorce (“stalling”); he has been seen out with various women (“dating”)

  17. Ben Affleck
    Jennifer Garner
    She asked the court to expedite their divorce proceedings.

  19. Ben…

    No clues needed…

    I appreciate her attempts to help but she needs to move on. You can’t help someone who doesn’t want it.

    I wish them all good luck. Especially the kids.

  22. Jennifer Garner/Ben Affleck

    optional: yes, she has to let him do whatever he want. she is not responsible for his wellbeing. but there is one bright spot, a thing most woman in her situation painfully missing- even if they had twice as much children she is able to do it on her own, with one, flexible job, even if her husband is on huge drunking mess. and- and this is my personal experience- even if their father is an a**hole, they have a great mother and this is worth very, very much.

    • she should move on with her life, and show their kids, that there are other kinds of relationships than those disfunctional.

  29. Ben Affleck.

    Hate to say it but I think Ben will die young. He obviously doesn’t take his problems seriously, that’s why he often took daily breaks from rehab and is also now dating a 22yo Playboy Bunny.

  33. Actor: Ben Affleck

    Clues: Not stay in rehab and completing the program, still drinking

  34. Ben Affleck
    Clues: the dating rule and rehab of course

    Ben will never get sober unless he wants to get better for himself.. If he doesn’t want to that’s on him. She needs to divorce him now

  37. She can’t save him. Divorce him and let him go. Do the best she can for her kids in giving them a stable life.

    Jennifer Garner can’t heal Ben Affleck from his alcoholism. She needs to move on and let him crash and burn.

  38. Ben Affleck.

    Clues- rehab, divorce,

    Jennifer Garner is correct. Ben has to want sobriety. She needs to move on with her life. Otherwise she enables Ben by always being there to pick up the pieces.

  39. Obvious who this is, Ben Affleck. I wonder what May Damon has to say about all this. Are they not friends anymore?

  40. Ben Affleck
    Jen is naturally GORGEOUS in person. She deserves a happy marriage. Divorce Jen. And marry a real family man.

  43. Actor: Ben Affleck

    Clues: ?

    [Optional] Do you think his wife is doing the right thing? Absolutely. She could spend the rest of her life trying to save him otherwise

  44. Jennifer & Ben. She’s tried and I do commend her for trying with some boundaries. It’s a wicked disease and will break your heart over & over. I hope she’s realized she’s done everything she can and he has to be ready for any of it to work.

  47. It seriously took Jennifer Garner this long to realize this about Ben Affleck?! Heck yes, she doing the right thing. I wanted Jennifer to stop being a mother hen to this grown a**man.

  48. Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck

    She has been very patient and kind, some people can’t/don’t want to be saved and that’s not her fault

  50. We all know this is Affleck. And I’m not in the least surprised. I was married to an alcoholic. NEVER AGAIN. EVER.
