She is not completely to blame though. If you watch all the episodes, which I have, yes, she puts him down, but come on buddy...be a man and grow a set! You only get treated the way you allow others to treat you, and he just needed to tell her at some point to STFU already. The marriage may have ended up failing regardless of the tv show, plenty of marriages do, over 50%, right? And I think the rate is even higher for parents of multiples. She was apparently a control freak before they were married, so if he went into it knowing that, he can't complain about it after the fact. And he can't whine when at the end of the day, he has a $150,000 custom OCC chopper to ride on, and now, he won't have the daily responsibilities of the kids. Should be interesting to see where his mid life crisis takes him next.
They have a huge house there now that has to be paid for, and no nursing job is going to pay for that. If she wants to keep the house, she'll have to keep the show. She could sell the house, move somewhere smaller, and get back into nursing...quit the show and try to get the kids a "normal" life. My parents split when I was 14, and it sucked. It was rough. I cannot imagine being 5, and not having the capabilities to understand why things are the way they are, and to be kept under the microscope like that. I just can't figure out why they would still do the show now. I was a wreck when it happened to me. These kids are so much littler than that, they are around Rae's age, and I can just imagine what it'd be like for her, there'd be no way she'd understand things enough to make sense of it. Poor babies
As an aside, I've read some people wanted them to stay together regardless, but he is so aloof, and she's just so silent, the tension was HUGE. I don't agree with that, if the parents are having that much trouble, it's better to end it. But it would have been better to end the show too and let the family heal itself, regardless of where Jon and Kate are in their relationship.
