Kate Gosselin Doesn’t Know If Her Marriage Will Last
Posted on May 26, 2009 at 9:20 AM
Who watched the premiere of ‘Jon and Kate Plus 8‘ last night? It’s taped and ready for my review this afternoon once the kiddies are down for a nap (1:00 can’t come quick enough).
US Weekly is the GO TO SOURCE for everything Kate Gosselin! It seems they are as obsessed with the reality TV family as we are.
Here are some quotes from last night’s episode:
On the state of their marriage one year from now:
"I am thinking this possibly could be our last family picture together," she says of a photo taken at the sextuplets’ fifth birthday party. "I don’t know…parents of multiples have, like, triple the divorce rate, and I was thinking we were gonna beat that. I don’t know if I can say that anymore. Very swiftly, we turned into two different people, and that’s just hard. I’ve tried for six months to figure out what the problem is, or remedy the problem. It’s so complicated."
Adds Jon:
"I think it was good for them [the kids] to see their mom and dad together in one place, even though it’s been tough right now. Like I said, we will come together for our kids regardless of our relationship. We have to make a plan and settle jointly what we’re going to do. There are good times and bad times and nothing is perfect."
On her husband’s recent behavior change:

"Slowly, I’ve seen him almost resent the duties [of being a parent]," she tells the camera. "I know it’s a lot to take care of eight kids. I’m traveling a lot, he’s frustrated a lot. I think he’s angry at me. He doesn’t really feel great about me.
"Have I been hard on him for almost the last 10 years that we’ve been married? I would never deny that. I’ve always regretted it. Have I pushed him to this? I don’t feel like I have. I feel like everyone is responsible for their own actions.
"I have a lot of anger. Because this is not where we’re supposed to be. This is not what I envisioned for us. Not what I envisioned for him. He’s made some very poor decisions, and we all have to live with them," she continues.
OH MY GOODNESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! Who saw the premiere? What did you think? Are you a first season watcher? Or have you been on this train ride from the beginning?

That sure was alot of huffing. FYI I do know because Kate was interviewed and said specifically that he bought the car without speaking to her – straight from the source. I have every right to reply to any post I wish. If you don’t like it, don’t read it. Here’s a little analysis from a licensed clinical psychologist: “Jon is not innocent in all this. He has been quietly and passive-aggressively colluding with this setup, because for a while, it worked. It allowed him to avoid looking at himself and his lack of career or accomplishments. It helped him numb out to his feelings of failure, but as we have witnessed, his coping skills are now ineffective and it is the dawn of a new day.
So here is my advice. Jon: stop rolling your eyes and stop backing down to Kate. This is not the time to have an adolescent rebellion, but to have a real shift into who you are and who you want to be in this life. Provide for your family; get to know yourself and your passions. Stand up and be the man you know you can be.”
I am tired of reading this one sided crap about Kate being a monster and I will continue to voice my opinion. I don’t need your permission. Why don’t you bash some of the anti-Kate posters? I am not bashing all men just Jon’s behavior as that is the topic of the post. I make NO assumptions. You, on the other hand, have made nothing but assumptions about me. You know NOTHING about me yet presume much. Everything I’ve said is based on fact direct interview and direct quote. My views are based purely on the hypocrisy of Jon claiming to be father of the year and then bar hopping when the wife is out making the money. He obviously isn’t making the kids a priority when he’s out until 2 am or 7:30 as the video shows. He isn’t watching the kids when he isn’t home….fact. I would bet the nanny was caring for the kids. You don’t care for kids after being out all night drinking or coming home at 7:30 am. Common sense….get it? His behavior is immature and passive aggressive – PERIOD!
You certainly are a control freak. Crawl back under your rock. I will continue to post.
Bryce – Go to http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler/2009/04/Jonathan_birthday_present_photo-jon-and-kate-plus-8-money-car-stayed-paid-to-stay.jpg
to see a picture of Jon and his $40,000 2 -seater sports car. Get your facts straight. I call a spade a spade. It wasn’t a present he bought it with the money from the show behind Kate’s back – immature & selfish. That car in no way benefits that family or the kids. I guess the show was OK with him for that when it served his selfish desire.
I have also watched the show since it came on and actually tivoed it so I did not miss last nite-and must admit I am a little caught up in the Us mag smackdown they are putting on Kate. After watching the show over the years yes she has been extremely hard on him but she also admits to being a complete control freak which with 8 kids has GOT to be difficult-she is not a happy person and has issues-so does he. Us has not pointed out that he also got hair plugs and had some work done-now he has the sports car- how many kids can you get in that thing?????? It started going downhill when he started staying at home. The saddest part is the kids divorce is rough when you only have 1 child much less 8- I hope they can get along for all those kids’ sake.
Oh, as always, typical Americans! Oh yes, everyone in America has had i.v. and has a television show about their life. And if you think it is typical for Americans not to work to get what they have then you don’t know what the hell you are talking about!! Americans also give money and aid to many countries around the world as well, through our tax dollars. So, why don’t you take your typical anti-American rhetoric and SHUT IT!!!
I saw it and cried. I, for the first time, saw Kate cry…and almost lose it. It breaks my heart and I have no idea who to believe.
I watched it last night. I really hope that they stop it all and pull back from the press, book tour, and show. They really need to focus back on their family and kind of go into “hibernation” where it’s just them. Jon and Kate really need to retreat and fix some things too.

I cannot believe how many of you watch this show. Shame on all of you who have kids and think this is an ok thing to support. Those kids are the ones that are suffering, screw Jon and Kate they are nothing more then low life pimps. Shame on them for being to lazy to get a real job and shame on them for feeling the need to go and have more i.v. when they were already blessed with 2 healthy children. They are gluttonous pigs, typical Americans who want all the flashy, free shit without having to work to get it.
All I really want to do is CUT THOSE FREAKING BANGS. AAAAAHAHHHGGGGGHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for your insight. I was not aware that Americans were the only ones to ever get IV more than once.
You are a bigot. Take your comments elsewhere.
I can’t believe people would pick Jon’s side…he is such a wimp and a wuss….if she was such a b-itch and controlling, why did he let her get away with it – she is who she is because Jon let her get away with it. I CAN’T STAND victims!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kate does not know the meaning of the word compromise. It seems like Jon allowed himself to be molded into what Kate wanted. He said himself, he was happy with only two children. Now he wants to stop doing the show and get his life back but Kate wants the show to go on. The marriage will not last at the rate it’s going. People needs to think before they say I Do.
it was an incredibly sad episode. i really really hope that editing made the situation look far worse than it actually is. i’ll be praying for them.
I didn’t buy last night’s show. I believe the marriage is over and they walked around it but wouldn’t come out and say they are seperated.Where was Jon in last night’s show? Where is he staying? I believe Kate will go on with the show and now mold it her.It will how hard it is to raise eight kids with no help (that’s already her lie). I think if the show was more real and not so much staged, more people would be open to feel something for them. I also think that if we looked back to last season, Jon admitted that he didn’t want to do the show anymore and Kate made it clear that she wanted to go on…
THANK YOU!!! I TOTALLY AGREE!!!
Is there something I keep m issing?? People keep saying that Jon wants out of the show but Kate won’t let him…did he say this and I missed it??
Agreed… You hit it. Jon did not want to continue and Kate did. In a marriage, when one partner doesn’t want to do something the other one needs to respect that. Kate doesn’t know what respect is. I’m not saying Jon is perfect. BUT he clearly did not want to go on with the show for obvious reasons. BTW … don’t you think its so hard on these children as they get older. Cara and Maddie are in school now and the classmates know everything about them. There will come a time that they will want their privacy.
I saw the show and it was sad, especially when one of the girls told her dad she didn’t want him to leave anymore. I keeping wondering about the Duggars (also on TLC) how do they hold it together with 18 kids? It would be nice to know : )
Watching the show I just wanted to smack her. There was NOTHING that man went to do that she didnt direct him how/when/where to do it. Nothing ! OMG lady back the hell up and stop being such a NAG !! Yes Im a woman. Yes I think Kate has been hard on Jon. I take his side totally in this one. Just because I am a female doesnt mean I have to back another female who is an idiot. She does not know the meaning of compromise at all and this is a guide for all couple out there how to NOT to treat your other half – male or female. As for keeping doing this for the money. My god how much money does one family need?? They could live comfortably but of course they ( and I mean Kate ) needs all the trappings that have come with the show and thus she cant walk away. Kids dont NEED the latest designer outfits or the million dollar home – Like Alexis said, she just wants her parents around and that would make her happy.
HA at the end of the show I said Kate’s kicked him out ! That show was all geared to make Jon look bad and Im sorry but I didnt buy it. Shes been away so much ( by her own admission ) that there is nothing wrong with him having some time off as well. Good call on they will keep the show going but change the name to Kate + 8.
how in the world would you know how much it costs to take care of 8 children? How many kids do you have? And while you’re at it, I hope you shop at Walmart and never have clothes that cost more than a few bucks…since no one needs designer clothes ( and btw, what “designer” clothes are you referring to…these kids wear Gap…if thats designer to you, than you do shop at walmart)
Shame on you, you disgusting waste of life, for stereotyping a nation.
the final show of the previous season, Jon expressed his desire to NOT do the show anymore. Kate’s reaction was “we’ll see” and gave a smug look to the camera implying that he would go along with whatever she tells him to do.
DITTO! Jon is an immature jerk who needs me time, a new sports car “without discussing it with Kate” and goes bar hopping until 2 am. Yea he’s father of the year NOT! He wants to be 20 something again. Sorry Jon – GROW UP! You can have you midlife crisis in your 40′s like everyone else when the kids are grown. Until then man up! All he does is roll his eyes at her. He is pretty disrespectful. You don’t get a second chance at raising your kids. Do it right the first time. Make then the priority not the car, not the ATV, not the women, not the bars.
He did NOTHING to prepare for that party. He showed up only when it was in full swing in his new sports car (not exactly a family vehicle). When he arrived, he did nothing and she suggested he go clean the bounce house when he asked why no one was using it. GET OFF KATE’s BACK! It was the least he could do. Puleezzzz. I think she handled the awkwardness with class. She set her feelings aside for her kids and they had a nice birthday. No thanks to him. BTW- Jon complains about the show but has no problem spending the money on his new car (without discussing it with Kate) and ATV while Kate writes a book and then sells it to make sure the money is there. He is a hypocrite. They would live way below the poverty line on his salary. At least she has ambition. He wants to play,play, play. Grow up JON!
Um C….it truly sounds like you have some serious abandonment and males issues. You really need to get a grip. Yah, we ALL get how you are anit-Jon, seemingly anti-male, slightly anti-free will and you have repeated several times about some nonsense of him being immature and having a midlife crisis. I’m sure I laugh at your assanine assumptions as much as the next person, but it’s getting old. You must have serious problems with people hanging at bars till 2 am because you sure do rant about it an awful lot. LET IT GOOOOOO.
Ha…I can almost imagine you huffing yourself up into a frenzy at your keyboard.
I wouldn’t be calling him disrespectful so quickly-you don’t know him, regardless of how many US Weekly’s you read, so slow your roll. You don’t know what his priorities are, whether the car was a gift, whether or not he is midlife crising it. Kate has displayed for the nation that she is a pyscho hose beast and he is one of those men that are willing to take it up to a certain point. We all push the line a little too far sometimes-sadly she kind of shoved past it linebacker style and kept running. You are being disrespectul with your rash assumptions that are becoming alarmingly redundant.
BTW- I’m not sure you know what a sports car is-his car is certainly NOT one. Simmer your daddy issues-they are your own and you should keep ‘em that way. We don’t need the end result of them filling up the comments page.
loved the show since day one. I hope they work things out for the kids, again we can`t judge Kate or Jon for that matter. Nobody is perfect. Kate definitely has changed a lot and I really hope that she can see things clearer, with all this madness. It`s good she`s ignoring the paps though and all that media BS
I think it was very sad yesterday. Not because of Jon or Kate but one of their little girls (believe to be Alexis) went up to Jon to give him a kiss (at their birthday) and said to him ”Dad I don’t want you to leave anymore”.
It’s just so sad. I understand it must be a lot of pressure on both of them : 8 kids is more than an handful, being a single mom I can relate to a certain amount of work they have but 8 is more than a lot of work!
They will definetly divorce, they don’t seem to want to work on their mariage at least Jon doesn’t. He kept saying that he ”will be there for the kids”. I think they have def hit rock bottom and it’s better for their kids for them to be apart now. I understand they want to keep their show because let’s face it : they would never have been able to support their kids (activites, groceries …) with only Jon’s salary. I can completely see why they put up with it and continue the show, it makes sense.
I hope they’ll figure out whatever needs to be figured out of their kids’ sake.
they have already made a huge amount of money and rarely have to make any major purchases due to the contracts and endorsements. it is time to stop. they can afford to. kate is being selfish. at the very least her kids need privacy.
I have always loved their show and truly think they were doing the best that they could for their children. Yes Kate could be harsh and abrupt but I can’t imagine having 8 young children and a camera crew in my face all the time. I truly hope they can work this out. Therapy and getting the camera’s out of the home would be a good first step.
You can’t imagine having a camera in your face all the time because you choose not to. Jon and Kate could do the same.
What you mean, she bit? She no bite…
used to watch occasionally. then watched because i couldn’t believe what a b-i-t she was. then stopped watching because of what a b-i-t she is. have to say after watching clips from last nite on today…it was really sad. he’s so done.
how do you know the posters are women?
I’ve notice that whenever there is a story on JK+8, the women here are very harsh on Kate…very very harsh. We don’t know exactly everything that goes on, except what they edit and air on TV. I’m sure if you had 8 kids to look after, you’ll be a bitch too. Yes, she has help, even mothers and fathers need time for themselves. Women are the harshest critics of each other. Some of you don’t like Kate or call her a bitch, maybe some of you see yourself in Kate, or see in her what you don’t want to become.
My feelings exactly
not in it for herself??? Read her last quote and tell me how many times she said “I” statements. Its all about Kate and its Kate’s world they live in.
touché
I’m going to guess there aren’t a ton of men reading INO.
I am not a faithful watcher. There is only so much crying kids and Kate I can take. I probably would watch it more if I at least liked Kate. I will say, I am not surprised by any of this. Now that they have moved into that mansion, it is just not the same show it was meant to be. I think Kate is trying to Hollywood-ize her family. I was in an airport bookstore recently looking for a no brainer book to read. I saw both Kathie Lee Giffords and Kate Gosselins when I first walked thru the door. Kathie Lee won.
I love this family and wish them the best. No one can judge Kate because they are not in her position- she has said time and time again that she is not perfect and I respect that about her. I can’t even imagine what it would take to raise 8 kids that are roughly the same age or around the same age. She does this show for her children- for them to have a good life- I dont see her as greedy or money hungry, I think from day one she has been in survival mode-seeking ways to make sure her children are financially secure for the rest of there adoloscent lives. She is trying to give them the experiences she didnt have as a child. No one can doubt that this women loves her children. I think people misunderstand her reasons for the show. I truly doubt she is in this for herself( even though she enjoys getting out and about)- I think she feels that she NEEDS to do this to make sure the kids are secure- whether that outlook is right or wrong- who knows. But people are too harsh on her- she definately needs to communicate with her hubby a different/better way, but to call her a monster like US weekly does, I think that’s just wrong! And all those Family memebers going to the “rags” to “help” the children- something is wrong with kevin and jodi- they could have went anywhere to tell their story, but they chose a magazine that would pay them- so in reality, they too should look at themselves as exploting those kids. I just wish people would take the hate and jealousy out of their hearts and replace it with a humble and pure desire to see this family come back together, whether that means ending the show or not.
I have watched Jon & Kate Plus 8 from the beginning since I love very close to their home. It was kinda neat to have locals with thier own tv show. But I have to say I have been getting annoyed with Kate for a long time. Kate has always been rough on Jon and he almost always gave her a “Yes dear” kind of response but last season was the worst by far. I think shes a bully and very focused on herself but thats just my opinion.
I have watched from the beginning and have seen their marriage crumbling over time. As bad as this is to say, watching this show teaches me how NOT to treat my husband.
This is what I got from last night’s episode:
Kate is in a lot of a pain. She seemed to be trying really hard to appear as if she were happy – laughing a little too loud at things you KNOW (if you are familiar with the show) would normally annoy her. As much as I think she played a big part in their current situation, I still feel really bad for her. I think she was under the impression that Jon would just take whatever she threw at him and not leave or fight with her, so the current events must be throwing her through a loop.
Jon seems to have “checked out” of their marriage and doesn’t seem interested in making the effort to repair it. At one point, they were asked a question about their situation and Kate replied that she was THERE. She was making an effort, she was trying to keep everyone happy and feeling loved. Jon just sat there and said, “I’m here for my kids”….no feeling or emotion. He seems to be thinking “I am DONE”.
I’ve watched the show from the beginning and agree with you 100%. She has change. It is so very sad that the kids are seeing this. I hope that for the kids- if nothing else- they work their problems. I think they need some counseling and some time off from the cameras.
I will not watch A SINGLE episode, I change their channel everytime their family is on. I will not help with their ratings one bit. Their marriage will last as long as TLC says it will. they have a signed contract and TLC will milk their fame until there’s nothing left. will all the editing and deleted scenes the public will be lied to for ratings and most gullible people will believe it. they forget there are cameras, a crew, a writer, and editor, director and we will get their story not the real story.
