Ahem: Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner Are "Making It Work"
::silently leaves office to scream in the bathroom::

Not to be dramatic or anything, but remember when Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner announced their split a year ago, and love died? And then you tattooed "what is life?"in white ink on your arm and went into mourning? Turns out these two are kinda-maybe-sorta back together.
Right in time for their 11 year anniversary, ET reports that Ben and Jennifer still haven't filed paperwork for their divorce, and are instead "making it work." In fact, they still live together, and Ben recently referred to Jen as his "wife."
"They still have not officially filed paperwork for a divorce," a source says, explaining that they "don't know if that will ever happen."
Praise the lord! By which we mean Beysus, who has inspired countless women to publicly drag their husbands through the media instead of divorcing them. (Bonus points if you make them appear on your breakup album and then force them to release said album on their label.)
