   Sources claim Ryan Reynolds has been saying Scarlett Johansson “treated him badly” in the marriage

Ryan Reynolds is divorcing his wife of a little over 2 years, Scarlett Johansson. While both stars remain tight-lipped on the separation, his friends are telling the media he would often complain about how badly she treated him.

It’s not like he was an abused spouse or anything even close to that. However, Ryan always felt that Scarlett’s career came before him in their marriage and that she would not give him her best.

At least, that’s what so-called (unnamed) friends of his are saying for the latest issue of Us Magazine. Ryan hasn’t confirmed or denied this story until now.

Apparently, Ryan has been telling friends about problems in his marriage as early as spring, when he was shooting for the upcoming superhero film “Green Lantern.”

“An insider on the comic book flick tells the new Us Weekly that its hunky star, 34, was ‘open on set that he and Scarlett [Johansson] were having problems’,” Us Magazine writes.

“Just a year and half into his marriage with 26-year-old Johansson, Reynolds ‘would say that she treated him badly,’ the insider explains. ‘It never seemed like she made him a priority’,” the weekly further reports.

Ryan wouldn’t go into specifics about the kind of problems he was having with his wife, but he took the entire situation very hard – and is even having serious problems coping with the separation, says the same publication.

He is now “beyond sad and depressed,” another friend explains for Us. It would seem that, up to the last moment, Ryan believed he and Scarlett could turn things around and make their marriage work.

She, on the other hand, clearly did not feel the same, judging by how lightly she’s taking the divorce.

“She was disconnected and disaffected [about the split]. It was harsh,” the insider says of Johansson’s reaction when faced with the reality of divorce.
