Guess a decade of being emasculated by a grating bitch - on national television, no less, for a good portion of it - will take its toll on any guy eventually.
Jon Gosselin spent the weekend of his 10th wedding anniversary apart from wife Kate and their eight kids. Not a good sign for the pair's troubled marriage.
While Kate played with the kids on the lawn of the family's Wernersville, Pa., home Saturday, Jon enjoyed a quick lunch with a male friend 150 miles away.
A waiter at the Stir Crazy Fresh Asian Grill in West Nyack, N.Y., says that Gosselin sat in the back of the restaurant for 45 minutes Saturday afternoon.
"He was shy and reserved," the waiter says.
But Jon obviously has his eight kids on his mind – and speed dial: "Jon was on the phone most of the time and was talking to his kids," says the waiter.
SHIRTLESS, UNHAPPY: Jon Gosselin has not been in a good mood lately, according to sources. Maybe that would change if Deanna Hummel were down there somewhere.
Jon also browsed a few shops – Brooks Brothers, The Sports Authority – at the Palisades Center mall that day. "He didn't look very happy," admits an employee.
"It looked like he just wanted to be left alone."
He returned home on Monday.
That night's episode of Jon & Kate Plus 8 shed more than one million viewers from the previous week's audience. The most recent show, which included a visit from the dudes from TLC's American Chopper, brought in only 2.9 million viewers.
The previous episode, on June 8, had 4.3 million viewers. Both are down greatly from the season premiere on May 25, which brought in 9.8 million viewers.
Perhaps the allure of watching the world's most painful woman boss around a pot-smoking, cheating dirtbag is fading for some reality TV fans. Sad.

Get back to your faith. It's your only hope at this point.

Jon & Kate - remember what brought you together in the first place? Do you really mean it when you say you only want whats best for your children? What you are both doing is not in the best interest of your children. What happened to your faith? You both have eight lives hanging in the the balance of the news media frenzy.

She wore him down to a nub of a man and now hates him for being a nub of a man (as Tony Soprano said about his mother). Move over Olivia Soprano here comes Kate. The Gosselin's should seek extensive private marital counseling before dissolving a 10 year marriage involving eight little people. Just talking about putting your kids needs first isn't the same as really putting your kids first.

What I saw on the American Chopper episode is a spoiled brat who calls himself a man. You don't act like a freaking teenager, getting your ears pierced, buying an Ornage County Chopper when you have 8 kids!!! For God's sake man I see why Kate treats you the way she does. You a little bitch!!
Kate, honey, get the biggest, baddest, man hating divorce lawyer you can find. Make Jon cry like a bitch.

Of course he is unhappy, hes her whipping boy, she married a man too young for her, and then whined until he caved to have another set of kids. He was ONLY 27 with 8 kids, he had twins at 24, I think thats a miserable life right there. I think the media should leave him alone and maybe focus on how kates an emasculating bitch, a horrible mother, and a nurse who freaks out about all germs. Nurses should know better then to freak out about every little spec of dirt, my mother was a nurse and she didnt freak out about germs and im healthy as can be. her kids will grow up to have poor immune systems, studies show kids allowed to play in dirt/mud and get a little dirty have the higher immune system
