Jon and Kate: Divorce? Reconcile? They Tell

According to People. com, the stars of Jon and Kate Plus 8 appear to be going their separate ways as Jon and Kate Gosselin have formally filed divorce papers.

The split comes hours before Jon and Kate were to make a special announcement on their TLC program.

Documents to initiate a legal split were filed at the Bucks County Courthouse in Reading, Pa., Monday afternoon.

The split comes after months of turmoil involving alleged affairs by both Jon and Kate.

According to TMZ, Jon Gosselin is considering a move to New York.

I think that Jon needs to grow up. He has 8 children to raise and all he is thinking about is his self. Yes Kate needs to back off and watch how she talks to him but come on. He keeps saying he's 32 he needs to act it and think with his brain.... I know that you can not fix a marriage in front of the whole country, but you people made us a part of your lives. I for one pray for the 8 little ones that will some day have to face the mess you two made.Will the money be worth it than?

I had been wondering if Jon had really cheated on Kate.  I am watching him last night sitting in the interview chair, dressed like a 13 yr old and I wanted to puke.  Thats not the image a man portrays that is serious about his marriage or family.  Yes, Kate is harsh, BUT look where it had taken them.  She saved, the kids were well taken care of, she had goals for family.  Where would they be if Jon had been the brain behind the money? 

I had rather hoped they would be able to work things out.  Jon doesn't seem to want anything to do with Kate.  That is a definite sign that he is at fault.  I'm sure the grass is greener for him on the other side with his 23 yr old girlfriend.  Lets just hope he's not stupid enough to introduce her or any other woman to his kids and completely wreck their lives.

Divorce is difficult no matter what the situation-public or not.  Eventually Kate will move on and so will Jon and there's no doubt that this will mean new significant others.   They have to do what's best for their kids- this is true...  but they can't raise healthy happy kids in an unhealthy relationship.   If they honestly feel it's best for their family to split, then we should respect that.  Let's not let the fact that they have 8  kids get in the way of our views.  Would it not be equally as sad if they only had one child? The general public doesn't care about divorce in ordinary circumstances- having 2.5 children, seeing as how half of all marriages end in divorce, I'd say it's widely accepted.  So... just accept their divorce, 8 kids or not and move on with your lives.

John is a JERK. Who states they are excited about being separated ??In typical male fashion he blamed Kate for his own passiveness. Real Smooth. Oh well, he knows he can feel free to date etc while Kate will be caring for the eight children on her own. Believe me, I have little sympathy for her, but there will some serious tug of war going on. He will probably let the kids do whatever they want when they are with him because he no longer has to live under her "rules" She will be more even more obnoxious just to get back at him...poor kids...
