Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck were one of the couples in the spotlight back in the day. They parted ways in 2015 after being together for almost a decade.
Jennifer Garner previously revealed how her life changed after her separation from Ben Affleck and also revealed how she once turned down a stranger for a date.
After Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner separated from each other, the Daredevil actress also went through a similar situation and was in a dark phase. Speaking with Vanity Fair, Garner opened up on how she looked forward to getting past the ‘pity phase‘. She said:
“When the earth shakes, you go to what you know from childhood. All of a sudden I’m sitting down at the piano. I went back to church. I sat down and wrote bad poetry all day because I was so sad. I needed a dance class; it reminded me of my fight scenes and how I missed that. I feel the need to be physical and I feel the need to punch someone. You know what I look forward to? I look forward to getting past the pity stage. I look forward to just having a sense of humor.”
Though their relationship ended, Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck maintained a cordial relationship with each other as they continue to co-parent their 3 kids together.
She once talked about how she even turned down a man for a date on an airplane. The actress narrated the incident and even revealed how she is obsessed with the old-school idea of pure love and affection. She said,
“We were waiting for the bathroom at JetBlue, and I was so floored. I had to remind myself that that was something that could happen. He said, ‘Could I take you for a cup of coffee?’ And I was like, ‘No! You may not take me for a cup of coffee, sir.’ And then I said, ‘But thanks for asking.’ ” All joking aside, I ask her if she can see herself dating. “I guess. I don’t know. It’s just that [from] everyone that I know that is dating it just seems, well…. Men don’t call anymore…. I want flowers; I don’t want to text. What does that make me? What kind of dinosaur am I?”
