Affleck was married to actress Jennifer Garner. They were married in 2005 and finalized their divorce in 2018. Although some ex-spouses are happy to get rid of each other, this didn’t seem to be true for Affleck. He told The New York Times he regrets his divorce.

“The biggest regret of my life is this divorce,” said Affleck. “Shame is really toxic. There is no positive byproduct of shame. It’s just stewing in a toxic, hideous feeling of low self-worth and self-loathing.”

Although Affleck regrets his divorce from Garner, he tells the publication he knows he has to move forward and live his life. “It’s not particularly healthy for me to obsess over the failures — the relapses — and beat myself up,” he tells The New York Times. “I have certainly made mistakes. I have certainly done things that I regret. But you’ve got to pick yourself up, learn from it, learn some more, try to move forward.”
