as the seasons progressed, i saw how kate was becoming more and more of a complete bitch, moving on to total shrew by the last season, and jon seemed to pull more and more away from her. so when erin and des both mentioned that kate seemed sad and to want to work on things, and jon seemed distant and over it, well of course! kate pushed him to that point, im sure of it. of course she wanted to work on things, she probably regrets being such a bitch to him all those years! she should have given him more credit, and appreciated him, and maybe he wouldnt have felt the need to find kindness and appreciation elsewhere. im not saying he cheated, but just that he obviously was finally done being treated that way by her. i feel so sad for him, but mostly the kids.
i hope tlc pulls away from the focus being on the parents-- and back to the kids, who are the reason the show is on in the first place! its so fun to watch them all, multiples are amazing and just the thought of 8 kids growing and changing together is entertaining!
