EXCLUSIVEJennifer Garner is DONE being a ‘marriage counsellor’ to ex-husband Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez – and wants to step away from the ‘circus’ after ‘painful’ realization

Jennifer Garner has made a conscious decision to step back from the ‘circus’ surrounding her ex-husband Ben Affleck’s marriage to Jennifer Lopez according to insiders, who claim the ongoing situation has unearthed ‘painful’ memories for the actress.

Garner, 52, and Affleck, 51 – who recently ‘moved his things out’ of the $60million mansion he shares with On The Floor singer Lopez, 54 – have been pictured together in recent weeks amid mounting speculation his two-year marriage is on ‘shaky ground.’

Insiders had previously revealed how Garner had been acting as a ‘counselor’ to the beleaguered pair as she desperately tried to help them fix their alleged issues – but now sources claim the Elektra actress has decided to remove herself entirely.

‘Jen eventually got to a place where she was like, “Sorry, figure this out yourself,”‘ an insider told DailyMail.com exclusively.

‘It was beginning to become too painful for her because it was bringing back so many memories of their divorce.’
