Jon Gosselin: "I Was Abused"
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?

We could all see that...we could all see that he was beat down and couldn't even be himself or make any of his own decisions. Still, that does NOT mean you go the opposite direction and start sticking your wiener in everybodys bun. haha. I feel sorry for that guy, Kate was a psycho witch w/ a B.
Poooor Jon. Whatever. She was so controlling because he couldn't "go out"?? He was married, with 8 KIDS! I guess it's just a personal opinion, but I don't think you really need to go 'out' with the guys when you are married and have 8 kids. Maybe he should have tried to go 'out' with his wife, build on their relationship instead of the relationship with his friends and girls at the bar. Please, I know plenty of people who were married in their early 20's, it wasn't because of Kate that Jon started 'looking around', saying, hey, I want to go out. It was because he was a pig, and realized he wanted to pursue other girls. Kate wanting to be married and raise a family, not go 'out' made her controlling. Poor Jon, he was just so passive. He was so abused. At least now he can go 'out'. Pig.
OMG... he is a bigger crybaby then all eight kids!!! Shut your mouth and grow up Jon. Try to be more mature then the children you keep complaining about HAVING to raise.... and "losing yourself" in your 20's???? And now your family is gonna jump on the bandwagon of poor poor Jon. Your kids probably feel like they are in hell.
BOO HOO HOO! Poor Jon, Kate didn't allow him to go out so that he could cheat on her so now he claims he was abused. Jon needs to grow up and quit making remarks about Kate and move on. He chose to walk out of the marriage a long time ago so now he must live with it! All the whinning and talking bad about Kate is childish, immature and personal stuff that the public shouldn't be knowing. It's no one else's business what went on or what is going on now, Jon needs to keep his mouth shut and go find him another HO and leave Kate be!
If you think you have already been beaten down jon, you ain't seen nothin yet dill-hole...these two remind me of the jolie/pitts...they just won't go away! they are sickening...they make the weather & then stand out in the rain and say "oh sh!t it's rainin"....friggin idiots!
This guy is just not right. Number 1- why bash your wife on tv? It's immature. And Number 2- don't be such a p*ss! On the show- he was a huge dope. He could've done what he wanted while keeping his marriage alive. But the truth is, he didn't want to be married. So stop making excuses, stop blaming Kate and the kids and be a real man! Not a walking d*ck, which is all he seems to be these days!
So abuse can't be the other way? We see a woman in a controlling relationship and we see how she just gets numb and lives life like a robot but we can't possibly FATHOM that the roles can and are reversed? Jon was treated like a friggin child by Kate and now, mentally, he is in a "teenager like" stage where he is being rebellious. He is a good father and despite you "kate lovers," he was and always will be an excellent father....we just couldn't see it because Kate was too busy B**CHING in the background. Oh, and I'm a woman!
OMG! what a crybaby... Everyone comes down on Kate because she is such a "B" WHAT DO YOU EXPECT????? she has EIGHT kids and a whiny crybaby for a husband... MAN UP DUDE!!!!! MAN UP.
EVERYONE has to change in some form to be married dumba**! Because you are no longer living life for yourself. When you say "I do" you make a promise to make that other person happy NO MATTER WHAT! It's not Kate's fault he was such a spineless little girl for all those years and everyone who ever watched the show saw that he had NO balls. If he had decided to ever put on some freakin pants in his relationship maybe he wouldn't have felt so "abused". Yeah, it takes a REAL man to walk out on your wife and the 8 kids you made with her for some bar tramps. Glad he finally found his balls, or rather, what's swinging in front of them.
when you have children your life 'as is' is over. it is just so easy for jon to just walk away to party with the local trash. it all is called responsibility to your children they will grow up move away and then you can party till ya drop and be able to look in the mirror with no regreats.... jon you are a loser.....
