PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats, but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are encouraged to read the complete guidelines. As entertainment critic Roger Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Jon and Kate + 8"
I have always believed it takes two to either "make or break" a marriage. I've been married for 28 years.
I think both are probably at fault here, but I also think Kate dominates Jon and anything he may want to do has to be approved by her. She does not strike me as the type that believes in "compromise". It is either "her way" or "the highway".
The sad thing here, are the eight kids. They are at a very vulnerable age now and this separation and/or divorce has got to be taking it's toll on them. I remember one of the earliest episodes where Jon admitted he did NOT WANT any more kids after the twins were born. He was very clear that he felt the family was perfect with the two kids and he wanted to keep it that way. But, Kate has to have her way all the time it seems, and this time the fertility drugs did a real number on them. Six new babies on the way. Then, I read that Jon's church had gotten 6 cribs donated to them but Kate "refused to accept the cribs" because they "did not match"! Now, that is total nonsense. Had that been me, I would have gladly accepted the six cribs. But she had to have 6 new cribs that "matched". What nonsense. With that many babies coming, you take whatever you can get and you be thankful for it. I wonder how the donors of the cribs felt?
I never believed in "staying together for the sake of the children" either. That is not an option if the kids have to witness fighting and shouting at one another. All that would do is frighten them at their ages. However, I do feel that Jon and Kate should make an attempt to reconcile their differences. They need to go to marriage counseling if they have not already done so. If ever a family needed both parents, it is this one.
There are so many families out there that have children with severe deformities such as the child in "Born Without A Face". A child afflicted with the most severe case of "Treacher Collins" syndrome....not sure of spelling. Yet this couple manages to stay together and love their child and have seen her through countless surgeries. You don't see them splitting up over greed or silly reasons. Their focus is on their child, and on their normal child who loves her baby sister. This is how a family should be.
The entire situation is very sad. I am keeping the entire family in my prayers. They have 8 beautiful children...and that alone should make them both very happy and content.
