Casey Affleck Splits With Wife

fortune — Mon, 28 Mar 2016 22:49:14 GMT

Ben Affleck's brother, Casey Affleck, has split with wife Summer Phoenix after nearly 10 years of marriage. It seems that both Affleck brothers are now both "on the market"!

I wonder if Casey had a nanny too? And a gambling "issue."

I've never seen any of his movies until this past weekend. We watched Gone Baby Gone and thought it was a very good movie. Pretty dark but good.

I like Casey Affleck. Gone Baby Gone was epic.

Just me, maybe, but I find it sad when marriages fail.

I hope to goodness she is the one who wants to dump him!!

I'm so sick of these men (?) always looking for something younger, etc. Then a big deal is made of the fact that 'they are (for the sake of their children) living together'. What is that about? I would think it would confuse the children even more. Ugh!

After what Ben's wife wrote about his "dark moods", I don't think I would want to deal with that bunch. Someone can have those two "boys". They obviously don't take their vows seriously.

@Annabellethecat66

Do you have some evidence that he was cheating? Maybe the couple was just a less than perfect match to begin with.

I honestly don't think people should stay together when the relationship is over, do you?

Maybe then their vows should have said, "....or until we think this relationship is over."

@Pearlee

Sorry, but I don't think marriage should be like doing hard time with someone in a life sentence. JMO

In case you didn't know, the divorce rate continually hovers around 50%, so common sense should tell you that not every marriage is a perfect match!

There are MANY reasons that marriages don't make it, but one thing I know for sure ...... unless BOTH people want to stay married, there is no chance for it succeeding. That's a fact.

Pearlee — Tue, 29 Mar 2016 16:29:35 GMT

@Tinkrbl44 I wasn't disputing any of that. Just that the marriage vows should reflect other possibilities nowadays. To me, a vow is a vow. So at least make the vows more realistic. You don't have to convince me of anything.

No I don't. I just made a blanket statement. I did say that maybe she was the one who dumped him.

I've seen so much divorce in my family, more than most people ever know or hear about. I've also seen where it could have been worked out. There are times when it is better for the children if they part (abuse, etc).
