LOL Tishala you saved me a post...that was almost EXACTLY what I was thinking. But as usually I'll drone on a bit longer lolol. Now it's all in personal interpretation, but my sense is Jon says it as a defense mechanism because what he does has been questioned both by America AND Kate. Sort of how folks baulked when Jon explained to his little ones he was off working. To me that was about personal pride and saving face in front of his kids. But I've never heard him go on and on about how he will do it alone because he has to, how totally exhausted he is etc etc etc as his wife does. Not saying he is without fault, as I don't know what is really going on there any more than any of us do. But that's just my take from watching. And while I don't adore Kate, she has impressed me as being a better and well more sane Mom than Octomom. I just think she truly has her issues (ie scrubbing her fridge to death in the new home while making her kids wait for potty help when they moved). Her cleaning compulsion likely shows some other control issue problems IMHO. I wish it was contagious as I could use a bit more of it to be honest hehe. That's the last ep I watched and to be honest it bugged me that she went on and on about how vile that fridge was, when it looked cleaner than mine.

WOW just saw Naja's link. They could'nt wait until tomorrow to file? Sigh. So much for hoping they would shut off the camera's and at least try to work it out. I sure hope they are wrong about Jon moving to NYC. I would hope he would stay closer to his kids. If he does just leave my impression of him would greatly change. These kids will desperately need both their parents in their lives and shouldn't be uprooted and shuttled about unless it is the only way, which clearly is not the case here. This is all so sad. Anyone have a dusted off crystal ball to know where Jon and Kate would be in their relationship if they never did the TV show? LOLOL heck if it needs cleaning we can just send it over to Kate!!!!

Heartbreaking, I was hoping to be proved wrong. Well there is still a chance they will be smart enough to shut down the show.

Because next week's TV show is not new, but rather a compilation of the births of the children to how they got to where they are currently in their marriage, I was hoping tonight would be the announcement the show won't be taped anymore. If these rag sites are correct, was it really necessary to file today? What is the big rush? Why not separate longer and take their time to make a decision?

I suspect they have been de facto separated for a while now. I have to admit, I don't think this is a bad thing--sometimes it is better for people to divorce than to maintain a toxic relationship just for the sake of maintaining it. That said, I also don't think they have really given themselves the opportunity to work through their problems, at least from what we have seen. I doubt they received counseling and all that...

The words on their own are fine. It's his tone when he says it. Just as it's her tone.

Well said Tishala. A couple cannot "stay together for the kids"...it's often much worse.

This is a video about Kate's meltdown moments...all I can say is if I talked to my husband like that he would have been gone long ago! www.radaronline.com...must-see-video-kate-gosselins-greatest-meltdowns <fixed link>

i just hope if all of this is true, they sought counseling before they filed for divorce. a marriage, especially with children is worth trying to save. i can't shake the feeling that jon was fine with her and their relationship until everyone started telling him he shouldn't be.

When Kate says "I don't trust your judgement" in that video, I thought that had to be one of the lowest blows ever. She really was kind of shitty to him at times.

Thx, for posting the radar link. Those are the attitudes and remarks that we've heard and seen almost non stop since the show started. You can just see how miserable both of them were when they were together.

Jon looked like he already checked out of the marriage in those clips and Kate doesn't appear to have a stich of romantic feelings for Jon in those clips. Put a fork in it the fat ladies been sing for a long time.

I'm glad someone hasn't gotten my worst moments on videotape and then compressed those moments into a three minute greatest hits tape. And I say this as someone who is decidedly not a Kate fan.

Put me on the list of those that think the sooner divorced the better! Happy divorced parents form much better support systems for the kids than unhappy married parents. The energy that has gone into "dealing" with the partner - at whatever level - can then be rechanneled into really being there for the kids.

Tish, I think think that's just an example of her overall tone toward Jon always. Not just the worst moments.

The best thing right now is for them to Divorce. I don't think it's a big deal if John moves to NYC it's really not that far from PA. Now if only the show would end, but I doubt Kate will give it up.

They've removed the video from Radar Online, as well as a video interview of John. I'm thinking TLC might have had a hand in it because the pic as the video was supposed to start is Jon wearing the same thing he is in the TLC commercial. Also, this website says they interviewed Jon about how Kate has been 'missing' for 4 days. Jon was grocery shopping. No one mentioned where the children were..at home with Jon I suppose and they say the intereview is tonight. If Kate isn't around, was the interview taped and then she left?

Ditto Tish. How dishonest of Jon to say he has no idea where Kate has been for four days?

Wow. I go away for a few hours, and the papers have been filed. Sort of takes the need to watch the show away. Oh well. Spoil anyway, won't you, please? LOL

Seriously, that's the worst that they could come up with? Evidently, every married couple that I know should be getting a divorce....

How dishonest of Jon to say he has no idea where Kate has been for four days? Why, Rissa..you think he does know where she is? What if he doesn't. That's why I'm asking if this has already been taped. Oh...you mean the divorce papers. Perhaps he was interviewed yesterday. Although, the lawyer files the papers or one party. Both parties don't have to be there.
