		<description>I&#039;ve been a big fan of the show since the beginning.
my wife thinks i&#039;m nuts , but lately she&#039;s getting in on it as well. I&#039;m 57 , 4 grown kids and now empty nesters.
i always felt kate and her demeaning dispostion was the cause of the break up. But ,by the way Jon has been roaming around, with different women. i wonder if Jon 
really was the one who always wanted out. and maybe kate was always on him because inside, she felt that was the only way she could commincate and hang on to him.
That is something  Dr. Phil used as an analysis for a couple on his show.
   Jon, put your hat on straight, get rid of the shades
and put on a decent shirt and grow up. You are a father of 8 kids and you have a lot of work ahead of you in raising them right. Don&#039;t lose kate, I do believe she
does love you. You may find out too late buddy.</description>

		<description>Free at last, free at last, thank God he is free from her at last!  She is a bossy diva, and those kids are her goldmine.  I hope he gets a zillion in alimony since she is off on her book tours while he is home being Mom.
Good luck Jon, we are all rooting for you. LIFE IS GOOD~</description>

		<description>I too feel bad for Jon. Right from the very beginning of the show it wasn&#039;t too hard to figure out who wore the pants in the family!!! They way she belittles Jon constantly is absolutely &quot;unexceptable&quot; behavour for a wife! I am so happy to see that Jon is taking what little pride he has left an getting away from her. He is such an awesome guy and an excellant father. He&#039;s an absolute Diamond In The Ruff!!! Too bad Kate you have lost the best thing that has ever happened to you!! I just hope that she hasn&#039;t done too much damage to him!! Good luck Jon I wish you all the best, you so very much deserve nothing less!!!!</description>

		<description>Tthis is such a sad reality story. They&quot;ve now announced they will split and that this is the best thing they can do for their family. That is so nonsencical. The best thing anyone can do for their family is put them first far in front of ones self. As a parent not only do your needs come last...sometimes your needs get ignored for a while that is just how it is.  Recently Jon made a comment that although it is sad he is excited for his new life and that he is proud of himself for standing up to Kate. What you are actually doing Jon is running away....and you have relied on that as your first option. What do you have to be proud of in that? You would be brave in everyones eyes including the children&#039;s if you stood by your wife, baby&#039;s and God, worked on your marriage and showed the world what &quot;for better and for worse&quot; stands for!Love doesnt fail, people do. What will be even more sad than all of this is down the road when you are both filled with regret.</description>

		<description>john and kate, i think, were never to be with each other. No one ever suspected john would turn around and date another womam. kate thought he was such a nice, gentle, caring guy, but now thats changed. I believe no matter what happens they should stop being selfish and instead of taking care of them selves, take care of their kids first then decide what will happen to them and their tv show.</description>

		<description>The most heartbreaking part of this whole situation is the children. I think that Jon made a very valid point that it wasn&#039;t a good thing for he and Kate to argue in front of their children. Everything that they are going through I&#039;m sure most couples have gone through as well unfortunately they&#039;re business is all over the media. When you have millions of people judging and watching your every action and throwing in their two cents I&#039;m sure it becomes almost impossible to trust and I&#039;m sure they even begin to second guess themselves. The most important thing is to remember the well being of the children and I commend Jon and Kate for doing what they feel is best for their children. I pray that God will somehow mend this family and give them the peace they have asked for.</description>

		<description>I have watched this show since it began and have just about all the women in my office watching it now.  Who are we to judge someone else? Everyone has something to say about how they live their lives.  I can truly understand how they got caught up in the tv show.  If you remember Kate saying that it would document the kid&#039;s lives, when they obviously didn&#039;t have time to do so after the sextuplets, and I&#039;m sure it never occurred to them that it would grow to be this big show. She also said that doing the show gave them the chance to travel when in fact they wouldn&#039;t have otherwise been able to (financially &amp; helper-wise) without the finances and &quot;gifts&quot; of outside companies.  Does anyone blame them for accepting these things?  I certainly don&#039;t.I think jealousy is the biggest factor in all of this. By her family and everyone else.  Her brother and sister-in-law had no right saying what they did and I believe it when Jon said that &quot;give people enough money and they&#039;ll say anything&quot;. How true! I also believe Jon and Kate when they say they&#039;ve never cheated.  It&#039;s those stupid tabloids. They&#039;ll put anyone on their covers to sell trash. It&#039;s unfortunate that things have come to this.  I wonder if Kate has regrets for her sharp tongue and for belittling Jon on tv and if Jon has learned (maybe to late) that he needs to be a bit more assertive.  I can&#039;t help but wonder if they knew at their renewal of their vows, that things weren&#039;t quite right.  I also wonder if they have both lost their faith? I&#039;m not nearly as religious as I was at one time in my life, but when I read Kate&#039;s book, I was struck with a renewed faith at how she started every chapter with a verse from the bible and how, when she was in hospital, under complete bed rest with the sextuplets, her mother had written out tons of bible verses to give her hope and encouragement during that time.  The show that had them going to church. Finding the right church that would have room for all the kids.  Travelling an hour each way in order to go to church.  What&#039;s happenned there?  I know there are lots of questions that we, the public, would like answered, but in fact, it is none of our business. I can understand Jon, not wanting to divulge on tv, their private business.  It is between Kate and him.  No one else. I do wish though, that someone could put them on a deserted island for a few weeks so that they would have no choice but to either work through their problems or at least find out if their marriage is not salvagable. Can you imagine how wonderful it would be to see them get back together?  Even if it wasn&#039;t televised, just hearing about it would show others that things can be worked out.  I&#039;ve watched them so much, rerun after rerun, that I do feel like I know them (yes, I do have a life, lol) and I&#039;m quick to defend them when I hear trash talk.
Thanks for allowing me to voice my opinion.</description>
