The author uses the phrase 'it can be a lot' twice to describe the challenges in Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez's marriage. This is an example of an appeal to ignorance fallacy, as the author is implying that because they don't know exactly what's causing the issues in their marriage, it must be due to their 'different personalities and not getting enough time together.'
