“He’s been checked out,” the source added, noting that Lopez and Affleck “two completely different pages most of the time. The honeymoon phase has worn off.”

As per the source, the main issue between the couple is their inability to effectively community their differences which has led to them having “significant arguments.”

“Over time, Jennifer and Ben found it increasingly difficult to communicate effectively,” they said, “and small misunderstandings grew into significant arguments.”

To add to it, the insider said things like finances and parenting have also “exacerbated” their issues.
