Why am I not surprised about their split? Kate keeps saying she "LIVES FOR HER KIDS". She doesn't need a HUSBAND, just needs Jon as a PARENT only. I think there's some validity to the comment that she succeeded in PUBLICLY emasculating Jon. I usually don't advocate divorce, but it was time he stood up for himself, and I'm proud of JONfor freeing himself from KATE THE MACHINE--It was her way or the highway!! In the end she couldn't tolerate Jon's more laid-back personality, which ironically is probably what attracted them to each other in the first place. Unfortunately the kids have been and will continue to suffer. MY ADVICE TO KATE -- WOMAN, TAKE A BREATH!!
