Sorry about the long pause since Monday...but I am trying to absorb all the information that has been thrown into the media spotlight this week as well as winding the school year down. But let's begin with the season premiere this past Monday.
I don't know about you but all I can say is....WOW. I feel so sorry for the both of them...especially Jon. (I know...I know...) Your probably looking at the computer and thinking "are you serious?", yes I am. If they ever show the season
premiere again (and you and I both know TLC will) look at Jon throughout the show. He looks like it is pure torture for him. I bet it probably does feel like it is prison. Now I want to make it very clear that I think Jon coming out of bars and being "whatever" with that school teacher is
despicable and that he should for once stop thinking with his d*ck and more with his heart and mind. I really do feel and think that he is remorseful for what he did (IF he did anything at all) and resentful at what he has become.
Which brings me to Kate...I would say by the look on Kate's face there is so much more to this story that none of us will ever be privy to. My heart does go out to her...because as they put it in Gone with the Wind...hell have no fury like a woman scorned and Kate looked like she had been scorned. I am glad that she was able to admit to Jon that she had been hard on him over the course of their marriage. (But come on now wouldn't you if you had THAT many kids in THAT short of time.) Can I be real honest here for a moment??? And tell me what you think...was Kate more mad at Jon or the
tabloids? My best guess...the
tabloids and I can't say that I blame her. If my face was plastered all over the grocery store and my kids saw that my heart would break.
Now I have my own opinions about the show that I know will rub some people the wrong way...but I feel I would not be true to myself or my site if I didn't truly say what was on my mind. I felt if Kate was making herself the victim and painted Jon as bad as the Joker
villain in the Batman movies. To be
pissy because Jon needed a weekend off is just downright egotistical. I understand that the love is gone. I have been in a relationship were that has happened and it is sad when it happens. But to paint your significant other in the worse light possible when you can tell (tell me you guys saw it to) is trying to make things better only puts you in a worse light. I like Kate don't get me wrong...she is a stronger woman then I am to be able to go through this publicly but don't play the
martyr role. It will only burn you in the end.
My husband watched the show with me and pointed out something in their interviews that I had not picked up on. He told me that it surprised him how much Kate threw Jon under the bus. He stated "Man...did you notice that Jon did not once talk bad about Kate in his interview and she bashed him in hers." Now my husband could care less about Jon and Kate but was surprised to hear that in the interviews. As for me...maybe I didn't listen as closely as I should but I saw two people who are running parallel to each other.
Now I have one more thought and then I will stop rambling. Jon and Kate use to be clearly in love with each other and while parenting does tend to get in the way of
intimacy (and I just don't mean in the bed but being each others best friend too) in a relationship you have to work even harder to keep it going. In my opinion I think Jon and Kate let other things get in the way of it. I hope they will sort through all of it and find their way back to one another. I guess only time will tell and the next episode will show them actually talking to each other.
