What did you think about Jon and Kate Plus 8 last night? I for one wasn't surprised at all. To me he seemed like the whole thing really wasn't bothering him. I am wondering how long the show is going to last now.
yeah he seemed so relaxed about the whole thing or mybe hes just one of those guys that knows how to hide their feeling very well.
I think it's really sad but I feel it didn't bother him but he really didn't want to show it on tv.
I agree, he seemed so calm and unbothered by it, where I think you could really tell that she was hurting.
I thought that Kate was really upset about the split, but Jon even said towards the end of the show that he was scared, but excited about the change, so I don't think it is bothering him that much. I for one am sad to see the family split, or any family for that matter. I think that people are too hard on Kate, I think she does a good job of raising 8 kids, I for one would not want that job. Just as a side note, I think that her brother and sister in law are both opportunists looking to make a buck off of them, their interview seemed so rehearsed to me.
While I knew that this was the announcement that was coming, I was still really sad for their whole family. We don't know the whole story behind their split, we don't actually know what went down, so I don't feel like we can put the blame on either one of them. Like Jon said, this is so fresh, and maybe he hasn't fully processed it yet, maybe his emotions haven't hit him yet. When my parents got divorced after 25 years of marriage, it didn't hit my mom until the day my dad was walking out the door with his last box of stuff. That was the first time we saw her cry. The emotion will come for Jon. You don't marry the person you love,have 8 beautiful children with that person, and then leave without any emotion.
i think we all kinda new it was coming, i personally don't wanna see them divorce, i think they make a great team! I know Kate is a little bossy but damn she has 8 children, i don't think she really saw how much it bothered him until they lost all communication skills! I thinkshe really seem hurt --i was never her biggest fan but felt extremely sorry for her last night, well both of them--
As for Jon, I think he seemed at ease b/c he was the one that changed him self the most so that Kate could go out and do what she wanted, he became a stay at home dad while she did book signings and what not, I am not saying thats bad, but i don't thin that is what he wanted!!
i think/hope that although they filed for divorce, that the time apart will make them want to try. I understand they are doing whats better fo the kids --not arguing and what not in front of them-- but i actually feel horribly sad when i see the earlier episodes of how truely hapy and in love they were!!!
I will be praying for a miracle for there marriage




Maybe he can't wait to cut ties with her, Because she is so Mean to him,
THe part where he said he was " hurt but excited" about the new chapter in his life, makes me think that he is too excited to get out of there and be a single man again.
Child support for him is gonna suck ass



Wasn't surprised, and what I saw made me say yup, he's definitely moved on to a new relationship. He's no longer invested. He's already taken that step back to the degree of being careful how much interest he shows in the old relationship. He's already treating the marriage as if it's over.
So yeahp. There's definitely someone else, although I'm guessing it's a rebound thing, and when that doesn't pan out and he suddenly realizes what he just did there will be a moment of reckoning.
The arrangement they have is a rich mans divorce settlement though. How many families can afford to maintain three separate households in a custody agreement?
