“The idea that I was blaming my wife for my drinking. To be clear, my behavior is my responsibility entirely.”
following comments he made about Garner, whom he divorced in 2018. At the time, Affleck said he would "probably still be drinking" if they were still married, causing a public uproar that accused the actor of blaming Garner for his addiction."I had a really painful experience where I did an interview where I was really vulnerable, and the entire pickup was something that was not only not right, it was actually the opposite of what I meant," Affleck told the outlet.
The idea that I was blaming my wife for my drinking. To be clear, my behavior is my responsibility entirely. The point that I was trying to make was a sad one. Anyone who’s been through divorce makes that calculus of, 'How much do we try?' We loved each other. We care about each other. We have respect for each other.
Garner and Affleck, who is now married to Jennifer Lopez, share three children together: Violet, 17, Seraphina, 14, and Samuel, 11."One of the reasons I [decided to run my own company] was, I’m divorced. I share custody. I don’t want to go to Austin and New Orleans and Georgia anymore and not see my kids. It just doesn’t work," he told. "These years are too important. If I miss them, I’ll regret it for the rest of my life.
