I have defended them both through out all of these threads and had negatives to say about both. It's yoru opinion that it is all one sided. What is one sided, is that if my husband was in bars and leaving with a 23 year old, I wouldn't be so nice to him.
I do have a lot of time to be on the boards, because I work from home doing Desk Top Publishing, and lot of my work means sitting with printers as they spit out my work. I work very hard, and am sometimes up finishing a job until early morning. That gives me a lot of time to be on this board, because I don't like to leave the printers when they are printing out a few thousand sheets of paper. Is that a good enough explanation to you? Although I didn't think I had to explain why I'm on this board.
I can just say again, as many others have, we see what TLC wants us to see. In the past, they showed Kate really bad, and I believed it and on the4 earlier threads, I posted it. I still would not talk to my husband the way Kate has talked to hers. This weekend I spent time watching in the corner of my computer screen past seasons. I had missed a lot. I'm not so fond of Jon anymore. My husband would never belittle me the way Jon so quietly does. I think he wants his cake and he wants his freedom. I think you are right, the ending of the marriage is in site. I also think you are right, Kate wants this to continue. He spends the money apparently and freely,
and he if he wanted to walk out, on the show, he could have. He got caught, and now he wants his privacy, and until I see that she did, in my eyes, right now, he's the bad guy.
If either of them cheated or neither, I think the marriage is over. I've stated I've thought that for a long time.
It's so easy for anyone to be an armchair quarterback and child physcologist and even to have hindsite. Is this how I think they wanted to end up? Nope. Do I know how this is going to affect the kids, beyond what would affect any child of a divorcing (if that happens) couple? Nope. Do I have any idea if they can afford at this time to cut their losses, pay off a possible contract, afford two houses, etc? Nope. But I read that a lot of people know just were this is going, what will happen to the kids, that they should have money to support all they have bought. And they know this based on what a TV show producer decides to tell us, not what we really know about their lives.
So, that is my two cents, and if you think I am one sided on Kate's side, right now, today, you would be correct...and I can only base this on what I have seen.
You look at the whole situation so one sided. Kate=angel / Jon=bad. Honestly, reading some of your posts, one would wonder if you weren't Kate herself. Kate would have this much time to be on a board because her "babysitters" cough nannies cough cough would be raising the kids.
I am not defending Jons obvious affair. I have always thought that Jon for the first years was quite happy with all the free stuff and didn't worry to much about what the show would do to the kids. I don't think he is at all innocent. But him being wrong, doesn't make Kate right either. She is just as bad in every way and alot worse in many others. I think he still likes the free stuff and trips, but just doesn't think putting up with Kate is worth it all anymore.
He said he wanted the show to stop. That he rather have privacy. He was ready to go back to the way they used to live. He said it one national TV and straight to Kate, and she looked right through him and didn't care one bit. That was when their marriage ended. When you say he could be a big boy and left, fi he did, that would have been walking out on the kids. He wanted to stay with his kids. He tried to stay with Kate. Kate could care less what he wants, so it all blew up.
