yeah I feel like Kate was definitely laying on the "I'm doing this alone while Jon's off galivanting somewhere" schpeel pretty thick. That may be the case but she's definitely trying to put the blame squarely on Jon's shoulders. Which the cheating (if he did cheat) is squarely on his shoulders. but the problems with their relationship before that and their issues are not purely Jon's fault. And she was saying how Jon was upset b.c he said it was hard work being at home with the kids all the time and she sort of gave him a hard time about struggling with that but then she kept bringing up how, I'm doing this alone and I'm exhausted and it's so hard but I'm doing it for my kids. she's doing the same thing she was giving Jon a hard time for doing.

I have sympathy for both. This situation isn't easy for anyone and everyone involved is definitely in pain and struggling but I feel like Kate still doesn't truly see the role she played in the decay of their relationship (not in leading him to cheat. that's not what I'm saying. I mean in how their relationship became so strained and they became two different people.) I think she realizes and is taking a bit more "blame" than she has in the past but then every time she admits to regretting the way she treated Jon or anything she immediately follows it with a justification of "I did it for my kids" or something that Jon did.

Jon's interviews were odd. He was mumbling more than ever and he seemed just off the whole time. A lot of time he seemed to just be saying what sounded good and not what was genuine. He didn't seem genuine in most of what he said. A lot of it seemed like just recycled lines that he's heard before and thought would fit the situation.

I have sympathy for both but I also see that both are responsible for their current situation.

The saddest parts of this episode were Jon and Alexis' conversation and when Kate said "Parent's of multiples have 3 times the divorce rate. I thought we were going to be the ones to beat that. Now I don't know if I can say that." and when they were taking the family picture I was thinking how they looked like such a cute family but how they might never look like that again. and then when Kate said the same thing about it possibly being their last family picture, that made me tear up.

It's all just an unfortunate situation. To see a couple who loved each other so much and a family that was so happy with nothing change into these people who can't stand each other and barely tolerate each other is heartbreaking. I am still hoping that they make it through this season, end the show and take time to work on themselves and that they somehow make it through this all. Families have survived worse and if anyone can survive a difficult situation I think this family can. At least I'm hoping they can.
