I was checking out at the grocery store the other day, and couldn't help notice all the gossip magazines talking about how Jon Gosselin from Jon and Kate Plus 8 is a sleezebag, scum, cheater, deadbeat father, and more.
I've been watching Jon and Kate for years since it first came out. I'll be the first to admit that I love this show and used to watch it religiously. I am so sick and tired of everything blaming Jon for leaving Kate and for being such as azzhole.
The truth of the matter is, Kate is a horribly abusive partner and a terrible wife. I recently got out of a 5 year abusive relationship. Women don't realize this but when the guy really loves you, you can do some serious damage to his self esteem and ego. I noticed Kate doing this constantly. Telling him he's wrong, nagging him, breaking his balls, castrating him daily. Why didn't he fight back? Because why should he? It's his wife and he has 8 kids to worry about. I don't know if Kate was testing Jon for all these years, or if she's just naturally such a *****...but I don't blame Jon for leaving at all.
Aside from the kids, which I don't think he should have left so easily, his wife really did, as the old cliche goes, drive him into the arms of another woman.
After 5 years of giving everything I have, trying so hard to change and to stop myself from annoying my girlfriend, I never let her give me ****. I always stood up for myself, as I have very high self confidence to begin with. But this takes a toll on you. When every day, she tells you what you're doing wrong. If I do 99% right, and 1% wrong, she'll talk about the 1% for weeks and weeks, killing my ego, and destroying any bit of attraction I used to have for her.
I really do think Jon did the right thing by leaving. I can't stand the media trying to paint Jon as the bad guy, when in reality, Kate treated him like crap, mentally abused him, basically cut off his balls on a daily basis. Was he a bit passive? A little bit of a doormat? Of course. You have to EARN your respect. But it really is difficult to earn the respect of a woman when her default attitude towards Jon is annoyed, frustrated and nagging.
It kills your peace of mind, and every minute is torture. I don't blame Jon for leaving and I wish more people would stand up for him. He's not a bad guy in my opinion. I think Kate brought this on herself. You can't treat someone like crap for years and except them to love you.
