Jon Gosselin Thinks Kate Gosselin Should Stop Wearing Her Wedding Ring
Jon Gosselin opened up In Touch Magazine about the recent drama he now calls life. From dating multiple woman (or should I say dismissing those rumors) to how he feels about Kate wearing her wedding ring, this dad of 8 really made the effort to set the record straight.
Oddly enough, I went out with 4 other couples last night and a few of these points came up in conversation. Guess there really were a few misconceptions about Jon after all.
On who initiated the divorce:
Let's go back to October of last year - that's when all of this happened. Kate basically came to me out of hte blue and said, "I am done. You are going to live your life, and I am going to live my life." I was like, "What?" I didn't really know what was going ton. When she said that, I was really upset and nervous.
On asking Kate to join him in couple's therapy.
She didn't want to go. She said, "If you have a problem, go fix it."
On when they started to live separate lives:
We went to Utah on January 1st. On January 12, she flew back with security and I stayed. That's when I started to just hang out and meet people, and feel free.
When I came back on the 17th, Kate and I weren't talking. So I just said, "I'm moving out of the house," and that was it.
On the perception that he is the bad guy
Because it looks like I abandoned my kids. Kate is grabbing for film time with TLC. We share custody, so I do as much as she does. But if it's not being filmed, people don't know. We only film 2 hours a day - I'd rather go home and not film with my kids than film with them. I am a great father.
On Kate still wearing her wedding ring
"It's a promise that you will stay married. There's no love or marriage anymore, and she knows we're not getting back together, so why wear it? It feels weird. "
On what Kate feels about Jon dating

I haven't talked to her in a really long time, so I can't even talk about how she feels because I don't even know.
On Kate Major - was Jon really dating her?
I wasn't dating Kate Major. We were just hanging out. It was a business thing. At first, Haylie was kind of fed up, but then she saw it was nothing.
I felt like, "Ok I have a cool new person in NYC and we can just go out to dinner." Then it was a conflict of interest for her work. I have always been true to Hailey.
On the rumor Jon was dating Deanna the schoolteacher
We just hung out. I was trying to mend my relationship at the time, and she was the only one who listened to me."
Wow! What do you think about all of this? Jon's side of the story really does clear up a few rumors that have been circulating. What are the odds that Kate will do an exclusive as well?
This man should just stop talking....he sounds like a complete tool. I guess he's doing damage control, trying to make himself the "victim" or the good guy so that whatever he does in the future-(entertainment wise-) will go down good with the fans or be embraced....but he's coming off like a douche......And the wedding ring comment.....youch!!!!!

I think Kate is doing an "exclusive" with Access Hollywood on Monday. So much for keeping their divorce "personal and private". I wish they would both shut up and get on with their lives

she'll open up soon. she doesn't like that he's getting all the attention. it's only a matter of time that she''s on some talk show talking about all of this

I believe she'll be on the TODAY show on Monday morning.
People like Kate always come out on top, unfortunately. She's good at manipulation and her lies.

Kate has always been a bitch (that's nothing new), but Jon is not used to people having such a negative opinion about him and it is bothering him. Kate is always going to be the mother of his children, though. He might feel this way in private, but I think it is disrespectful to his KIDS that he is talking about their mother in such a public forum.
My parents divorced when I was two and, although I don't know how she did it, my mother never said one bad thing about my father in front of me and my siblings.

That is so honorable of your mum! She did a fantastic thing. Jon and Kate's kids are going to grow up not only seeing their mum and dad bickering on tv but they're going to read all this crap. It's horrible. Why do they need to 'set their story straight' if they care about their kids so much? It seems they care more about the $$ then their children sometimes which is so sad because they were a great family unit (apart from Kate's bickering).
So he moved out because he wanted his freedom...but is blaming her for wanting a divorce? What a nut-job. Jon, you need to SHUT UP everything you say in your defense is makes you seem even more like a scum. We see what you are doing when Kate has the kids... It certainly not constructive father stuff, it's more like "mid-life crisis" crap. GROW UP!
He moved out AFTER she asked for a divorce in October!

Re-read. She didn't ask for a divorce in October.

Jon doesn't understand that until a month ago, almost everybody was on his side. But than he started talking to the media all of the time, hooking up with all of these women, and started hanging out with the biggest douche of a father Michael Lohan. Everybody lost respect for him. I think the reason Kate is doing interviews is first to promote the return of new episodes of the show. Second to do damage control. Jon's behavior for the past month is disgusting and Kate wants to protect the show.
Because her bottom line always has been the show.

This is the way she supports the eight children she and Jon have. He couldn't make enough money on his job to support all of them, and with that many babies day care wouldn't be an option to let her go to work too. I think if you were in her situation, facing the same monetary decisions, your focus would be on the bottom line too.

i saw the last episode (the only i've ever seen) and thought that he was quite pathetic ..couldn't put one word in front of the other he just didn't know what to say and Kate on the contrary had a LOT to say .
but i have to admit that the guy is fed up with this controlling woman and he needs his freedom and if he keeps taking care of his kids well in my book he's a good guy after all
"During this very difficult time we will be working to focus solely on the needs of our family. This includes no longer commenting publicly or reacting to media stories and speculation," the Gosselins said. LMAO! That didn't last long.

Like I suspected, the best PR team will win this "ratings war". Him saying Kate is being filmed with the kids while he is not does ring true and I believe it. If they share custody then there will be days/nights when hes photographed out and about but if he doenst have the kids what is he supposed to do - stay home? While hes spineless I dont think hes evil ( like I believe of Kate ). They enabled each other. She would NEVER be with a man who stood up to her and told her where to get off, she needs the sooky guy she can control and unfortunately that is Jon. Maybe he can find himself in all this and grow into a more confident person who wont be such a pushover.
A personal observation - every man/husband you see on tv shows these days is the lap dog for the wives which is so pathetic in my view. From Ross on Friends to the husband on King of Queens to Jim Belushi in according to Jim to Raymond on everybody loves Raymond. If my husband was that much of a pushover I would have dumped him long ago.
No Vera it doesn't matter who is right or wrong; they are both wrong. There are no "I'm on Jon's side" or "Kate's side". Is "the kids side" everyone should be on. These two need to shut up and concentrate on not messing up the kids minds or future with all their public talk to the media. The kids will grow up and read all this trash one day.

Jon sure does "hang out" with alot of women. I doubt very much that it was OK with Kate to go to Utah with Deanna. You don't have to "hang out" until 7:30 am at her house. Her own brother told everyone they were having sex. Jon's shocked Kate wouldn't speak to him after the Utah trip??? We're not buying it Jon. Spin all you want. As for the ring, why should Kate give a damn what you think. She isn't doing for him. Maybe she actually thinks people are still officially married until the divorce if official....hmmmmm You apparently think the marriage is over because she wouldn't talk to you after you're with another woman. It wasn't just business with Kate 2.0 either. Jill Zarin was there and saw how they acted...."But they're definitely dating. It came up in conversation. She had her hands on him." Lying goes along with cheating. No matter how you slice it Jon, your a liar and a cheat. Just because your getting tips from another famous liar and cheat, Michael Lohan, doesn't make it right. Your kids will get to read about you as you truly are. What a legacy. You must be so proud. (sarcasm)

Nothing is my fault...I didn't do anything.
He sounds like a seven year old.
obviously kate still cares about the guy if she still wears her wedding ring. It was obvious in the show when they announced the divorce that she still cared and was very hurt. whereas jon goes galavanting around france with another younger woman only NINTEEN days after requesting divorce. How can you be with a woman so long and she has your eight children with you and then not care about her anymore whatsoever? despite how much kate bickered, jon had plenty of wrongs too. and if you had eight young children at once, i highly doubt you would have the patience to handle them all and not bicker. Jon states that a wedding ring is a promise to stay married. He had no problem taking his off whereas kate does. Obviously she was and is committed while he never was. and i think kate cares more about her kids than he does, because why in the world would you want a drinking party girl who does drugs and has been arested around your kids? not exactly the best influence. and those kids are gonna look back and say that their mom was committed to him and her kids while he was off hanging out with other women and lived 130 miles away.
okay... jon is obviously not going to sit back and listen to people disrespect him and all that however he should have had some respect towards kate and for the sake of his kids not go of trashing her... also he claims that kate is using the children to get some air time and how he doesn't care about all that... that makes him a hypocrite as right know he is using the conflict he has between kate to get some publicity... well jon your 15 minutes are almost over!

he is such a dirtbag........ i can not think of a better word for it.
Like any divorce, both parties are wrong and both are right. HOWEVER there is only one person out dating twenty something females and yachting in France. Only one person bought a two bedroom apt in NYC (and where do you put 8 children in a two bedroom apt?). PR war it may be, and if so Jon is unarmed but still dangerous (to himself and his children's welfare.)
Jon needs to ride off into the sun set Who give a frick what he thinks. He shows what a total acehole he is every time he opens his mouth anymore. I dont blame Kate for her actions at all. Everytime he opens his mouth he shows why she is like she is. Go Kate! I dont think he cares about the kids at all, ever since the separation he has been photographed signing autographs, having pics taken with fans, etc when it is his "kids" time. He says he doesn't want the publicity of the show, no, now he just wants publicity, period! What a jerk. Kate and the kids are way better off without him. I wish TLC would write him off and get him out of the picture. His actions are what will truly hurt his kids, not so much the show itself.

it's both their fault. her for being such a controller and being mean to him. and him for not knowing how to put a stop to things and dating all these women without thinking about his kids first.
Jon is so not the victim in this and those kids are going to despise him so much when they grow up and "google" all this mess. Kate is definitely a pistol but that was never any secret. However Jon's recent behavior is a complete 180 of what "we" once thought... I used to feel so sorry for him when Kate would bite his head off becasue he seemed so meak, but I see now that she was fed up and that's how it came across. They really do need to disappear...
When Kate had a tummy tuck perhaps she should have had a mouth tuck as well
