I in no way have a perfect marriage and I have all of these questions because I know what it takes for Josh and I to work out our differences. Marriage can be hard and I can't even imagine what it would be like to have their lives and to keep their relationship as a priority. Even still, I know there had to be a way. If there was no infidelity and it's just two people who now are "going in different directions" it doesn't seem fair. It's not fair to their children, it's not fair to each other. They promised to love each other until death parted them. They brought eight children into the world. It really doesn't seem like they should be allowed to get divorced. I know that's not a rational thought but that's what it feels like. It's really just so sad to me...I'm crying now even as I'm writing this because it's just all so wrong. It's wrong that those children will be able to watch their parent's marriage fall apart later on in life on reruns of the show. It's wrong and so terribly sad. I feel like I could cry all night for all of them, the parents and the children. Who wants to be alone? Who wants to take care of eight children by yourself? Who wants to break up the team? I know this is horribly depressing but that's how it is. Divorce is horrible. The people who get divorced are not horrible. It's just that the pain caused and the effect is has for a lifetime is unmeasurable.
I wish that something could be done. I wonder if they wish that they had done something differently. Do they regret the show? I would. I would want to go back in time and do it all over again. My heart goes out to them and is truly breaking for their whole family. It's weird how you can have feelings towards people you've never met and don't know you at all.
Jesus, hold each one of them.

I know, Christine!!!!
This is just unbelievably sad. Unfathomable, really! Remember their last season finale when they renewed their vows in Hawaii?!?!
What happened?
Make me wonder what could have been done to have prevented this. Also, if living in a fishbowl is the best thing for any family. And why are they giving up so easily?!?!
So so sad.
Christine, both my husband and I have been saddened by the Jon and Kate news as well. We wondered the same thing, did they try counseling, did they try canceling the show and living out of the limelight to see if that helps. How can they give up with 8 kids lives at stake.
I know personally that growing up in a divorced family was difficult and I can't imagine having to watch it fall apart on TV. You end up feeling like you have to pick one parent to love and take sides....
I don't judge them, I have not walked in their shoes but I am so so sad for them, for their children and for all of the pain and sadness that lasts a lifetime after divorce.
