Yesterday we watched Into The Wild by Sean Penn in film class. I want to watch a movie that isn't goddamned depressing. I came home in tears. I relate to Christopher McCandless so much. Between this and Blue Velvet(which was a *great* fathers day movie /end sarcasm) and even Taxi Driver, I just feel drained writing about these and thinking about

Why are Jon and Kate divorcing? I don't watch TV, so I don't keep up with this stuff. Aren't those the people with 8 kids? What is going to happen to the kids?

Here is the "announcement" http://tlc.discovery.com/videos/jon-kate-plus-8-the-announcement.html

They just pretty much say that they argue and are mean to each other in front of their kids & they want peace for their kids. They use the word separate and divorce both, and they say that they will coordinate visits with the kids by sharing the house, one person leaving when the other is there.

So I guess the kids will have two parents still, just not simultaneously. If you've never seen the show, a lot of it is based around how the couple gets mad at each other and how they treat each other, mostly because Kate is very bossy and tries to be super-responsible and Jon is somewhat submissive and resentful. The whole thing being on TV... I dunno. Just strange.

I wish more people weren't so quick to divorce. Find out the problems, work at them, don't give up after one thing. Sure, there's probably a lot of things we don't see in their relationship. But we also didn't see them "working" on things, they never mentioned counceling.

Marriage vows aren't what they used to be. When I say I do, it's for life. You (not YOU, but people in general) need to work at things. Relationships aren't always easy. Sometimes they suck, but when you take your vows, it's for better or worse, forever.

I think one thing they eluded to but was never directly addressed(probably because the kids will inevitably watch this one day, if they haven't already) is that one or both of them cheated. It's one thing to have an open marriage or plural partners, but outright cheating is a dealbreaker for me-counseling or not

Into the Wild was a great movie, so sad. It was very eeiry to go online and look up his photos on google.

I agree with you on Jon and Kate. It seems like everyone who has a reality show splits up (except for Ozzy). Kate was such a shrew and Jon was so passive.

I just did and you are right. I also found a lot of blogs with people who have lived through his same feelings. It helped to read them.
