Jon Gosselin vs. Kate Gosselin

I was an avid viewer of the show TLC “Jon and Kate plus eight” but stopped watching the show a few months before it started unrevealing. Here are the reasons, I stopped watching the show. I do not want to choose sides but it’s very hard not to after watching the show. How much can a person take mental abuse or even physical abuse before they crack? There were one or two times Kate slapped Jon across the face and both times the attacks were unwarranted, so imagine when she was really mad and the cameras were off. No, I am not accusing anyone of domestic violence but I wouldn’t be in the least bit surprised.

I think it’s unfortunate that Kate Gosselin is playing a victim when in fact she was the bully and the one who cause the relationship to demise. Her look of fame, publicity and media attention cause her to choose success over her husband. I think the only fault Jon had was not being aggressive enough to make her understand that she has to respect him as a person and the person she said she would love and cherish. This is an old tale when money tears a part a family, in this case we can not blame the men. For the first time the man is the victim even though the media and ex-wife goons are trying to portray him otherwise. I can understand his dislike for his soon to be ex-wife. By the time I stopped watching the show I also grow to “despise: her can could not understand why he was putting up with the “put downs” and abuse. No one should have to live a life where there constant moves are being questioned or criticize. All I can say for Kate is that she is her own great PR agent, but enough already.  You had 8 children, we applaud you, but enough already.

1. I started disliking Kate Gosselin. I found her to be a shrew in her constant need to disrespect Jon and wondered why he put up with it.

2. Her constant need to dominate and manipulate the couch time was annoying. She would not let him get a way in and you never really got to know who Jon was as a person because she was always cutting him off.

3. You could see how miserable and unhappy he was in the relationship. He wanted out and it was depressing watching the show. I don’t know about you but I saw a divorce coming months before. I think the show kept them together longer then needed.

4. I could also tell that there was resentment in the relationship and assumed Jon had a wandering eye. There was always some type of unspoken sexual tension and I didn’t feel it had anything to do with their relationship as much as lack thereof.
