How would you know? You don't strike me as the type of guy who gets laid a lot, so why should anybody trust your judgment?

Looks aren't everything, true, but they were a mismatch from the start. Jennifer Lopez is a classic beauty (I cannot believe for the life of me how anyone could find her ugly or unattractive -- perhaps jealous?).
As for Marc Anthony, I suspect he uses hard drugs -- regularly -- and eventually the truth may come out. Nat'l Enquirer is already lying in wait for the right time to break the real story, no doubt.

I don't think that they were a mismatch. They are both New York- Ricans & performers. I think she cannot stay married to anyone!

I was hoping they'd make it; especially with kids.

I always felt that when Ben Afflect got cold feet about marrying her she turn to Marc because she needed to feel adored and her biological clock was ticking. Marc Anthony and Jennifer are both ambitious and being in the same field it probably felt for them like the making of a good team. As long as there's interest in "their brand" that team they may still work together professionally. Shame that neither Marc or JLo has the respect for marriage to learn to make it work personally. In the future, probably more step parents/half siblings for the kids.....

If you keep dating for very short periods in time and always end up married then divorced, maybe it's time to change your pattern.
4 divorces at 40 something?

This is the kind of situation where you might say to either party: "I hope the screwing you're getting is worth the screwing you're getting." They are proof of glands over brains.
