In another excerpt from Jon Gosselin's interview on Good Morning America (which airs Tuesday morning), the dad of eight continues to paint a pretty dismal picture of what married life to Kate Gosselin was really like.
"Our relationship will never be fixed," he said. " ... I don't trust her anymore. I was abused ... I was beaten down ... I'm not going back to that life style."
Jon says the fact that the couple dove into marriage and kids at such a young age played a part in their impending doom.
"I got married at 22. I had twins at 23. I had sextuplets at 27. Bye-bye, twenties," Jon told ABC News' Chris Cuomo. "And then raising all those kids until you're 30 and, you know, you don't even think about what's going on around you. You just do what you got to do to survive."
After taking years and years of "abuse" from Kate, Jon says it got to a point where he just couldn't take her controlling ways anymore.
"In 10 years, I've never gone out ... When she said, 'I don't want you going out,' I ... I used to say, 'OK, I'm not going to go out.' I was very passive. This is the first time I said, 'You know what? I want to see my friends. I'm going out,'" he explained. "That was the first time in my life I ever stood up to Kate ... I just felt like I had to take back some time in my life, and I did it. And I felt really good. I made my own decision ... I was beaten down for so long, I couldn't even make my own decision. And when I did, I was like, holy cow! You know? Yeah, what's she gonna do? Divorce me? All right. Obviously. You know."
Since splitting from his wife of ten years, Jon is more his old self than ever.
"My mom and my brothers, they say to me, 'It's so good to have the real Jon back. It's so good to have the warm, loving, kind, caring person that we knew you when you were ... before you got married. I've changed for her," he admitted. "Because I loved her ... But don't forget who you are. That's what happened to me."
It's an interesting topic. Should you change for the person you love? Can you? Or will it eventually all turn into resentment like it has for Jon & Kate?
A Shot at Love, huh?
Reality star Tila Tequila was hospitalized Sunday morning after an altercation with her NFL boyfriend, Shawne Merriman, E! News is reporting.
Tila Nguyen called for help at 3:45 am Sunday and told cops that her San Diego Chargers boyfriend choked her and kept her from leaving his house. She signed a citizen's arrest warrant accusing the linebacker of battery and false imprisonment.
The footballer was taken into custody and was held the in county jail before being released on $58,000 bail a few hours later.
Meanwhile, Shawn is desperately trying to clear his name.
"On Sept. 6, 2009 the San Diego Sheriff's Department responded to a citizen's complaint that was initiated by Tila Nguyen (aka Tila Tequila). I was taken into custody based upon that complaint," he says in a statement to to FoxSports.com.
"At the time, I was concerned about her welfare given the intoxicated state she appeared to be in and I encouraged her to stay until safe transportation could be provided."
"We would all do our best to help a friend if we considered their actions to be detrimental to their personal safety. I in no way caused any harm to Ms. Nguyen, however, paramedics were called and she was examined but no injuries were reported. She was released and has since returned to Los Angeles."
"There have been no charges filed against me. I want to thank the San Diego Sheriff's Department for their professionalism. I will continue to cooperate fully with the Department. I want to put this behind me so I can continue to focus on a successful season for the San Diego Chargers."
He paints quite the pretty picture of himself, no? Such a gentleman, right? Do you see any truth in that statement whatsoever?
Never a dull moment with the Gosselins.
An ambulance was called to Jon & Kate's Pennsylvania home Saturday, after Jon's grandma took a spill, People.com is reporting.
"Just to clear up any faulty reports: my grandmother did in fact fall in my driveway but she'll [be] fine," Jon tweeted Sunday morning. "Thank you for all of the concerned calls."
The incident put a bit of a damper on the day, as Jon had Tweeted on Saturday that it was "family day! Kids got to play with their grandparents, great grandparents...so great to see so many generations together."
Glad to hear Jon's Nana is going to be okay.

Hot tub players Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo have been spotted making out all over the place lately! Totally not a big deal -- except that they broke up back in June.
Sources say that the former boy-bander and the MTV veejay got cozy in three different cities this past week -- snuggling in Los Angeles, New York and Cincinnati. But an insider told People.com that the couple has not gotten back together -- "but they're hanging out. They'll see what happens. Maybe a reconciliation will happen, but they're not exclusive right now."
Should Nick and Vanessa try again?
