I'm not a watcher of the show, but I've seen enough to know that Kate wears the pants and Jon is completely whipped and beaten down.
With that in mind, a very good friend of mine is emotionally abused by her husband. She feels worthless, has low self esteem and is just depressed. But yet, she doesn't have the courage to file for a legal separation and doesn't want to divorce. She has been trying to get help (counselling), and he won't agree. He doesn't think there is anything *wrong* with him and that she is overeacting.
SO I do feel for Jon. With Kate being the way she is, how are we to say what his final straw is? How can we judge? It's up to them. Yes, it's sad for the kids. Yes I agree I would have loved it if they could work it out, and I even believe that Kate is using the "most parents of multiples divorce" as an excuse. But I also know that everyone has a breaking point. He may have hit his, and is finally realizing that "Hey, I'm a good person, I'm worth it, and I DESERVE to have someone in my life that loves me for me". Wanting to be on his own DOES NOT mean that he doesn't love his kids.
And thats my thought on the matter.
