Jon Gosselin Suspends Divorce, Regrets Public Womanizing

Jon Gosselin's self-loathing soul has emerged, prompting him to suspend his divorce from Kate for 90 days while they put his recent name calling, babysitter boning, and girlfriend flaunting behind them.

In Touch Weekly released the following statement:

When Jon Gosselin heard that his estranged wife, Kate, had a breakdown during the taping of a TV pilot in September, he knew he was responsible for her suffering. In addition to flaunting his relationship with his new girlfriend, Hailey Glassman, and partying at clubs all over the country surrounded by scantily clad women, Jon went on ABC's Primetime recently and said he "despised" the mother of his eight children. "He woke up one morning, looked in the mirror and didn't like the reflection," Jon's attorney, Mark Jay Heller, tells In Touch. "He realized he'd made some bad choices." Jon and Kate were due to be officially divorced by the end of November -- but now he claims he's had a serious change of heart. "I regret my conduct since Kate and I separated [on June 22]," Jon tells In Touch exclusively. "I used poor judgment in publicly socializing with other women so soon."

Shockingly, today, Jon submitted a document to a Pennsylvania court-approved arbitrator, which he hopes will suspend his split with Kate for 90 days. He explains, "This will enable Kate and me to restore our relationship as cooperative parents and to open up our lines of communication. I hope that she will be as receptive and enthusiastic as I am to do what is best for our family." He also pleaded with her to set aside their anger so they can start interacting amicably. "I would like to get back with Kate as a partner in parenting," Jon tells In Touch. "Even though we were heading for a divorce, it appeared that Kate had been suffering from this divorce as much as I had. That's why I asked my attorney to put the brakes on this divorce so I could try to regain control over the future of our family. So Kate and I could join on a cooperative course that would benefit our family -- not destroy it."

Jon claims he's done sowing his wild oats and grown disenchanted with his playboy lifestyle. Jon believes that his womanizing was a result of being dumped by Kate, who told him it was over in October 2008 before filing for divorce. "When Kate broke up with me, I begged her to go with me to counseling," he says. "She was totally against it. I think I was reacting to the pain I have been suffering as a result of Kate's rejection of me." Heller insists that Jon wants the document to be a sort of peace treaty: "He is hoping to inspire his wife to become less rigid, inflexible and controlling and open up. We're hoping Jon and Kate can sit down together and start exploring what to do about their situation. Once they do that, the rest will fall into place."

Let's have a Pay-Per View show with Jon and Kate battling it out...

Have it on a Cable STation where they can say anything..­....

They can curse at each other, make wild accusation­s, and see what really goes on!

Come on America! Let's see them self destruct ! oh wait, we already have.

But it sure would be fun!

Bring in Hailey and all the other women he's slept with.

This would be great entertainm­ent and get us so close to them. Like they were our neighbors!

America is all about Sensationa­lism. What better form than this!

This is what happens when you don't have the foresight to hire a PR person BEFORE you make a complete fool of yourself.

So the show changes it's name to headline the non-partyi­ng, non-flaunt­ing parent and this guy has a change of heart in the best interest of the children's deveolpmen­t?! It took him how long to realize this? When will he realize that the country may not be totally "Team Kate"... hey she is a bit controllin­g, but we will never be for "Team Jon". This guy is a loser and I bet anyone that within five years we won't even remember who he is.
Both parents needs to restrain themselves from all media outlets and let time heal. That is what is in the best interest of their children.

Adorable kids somehow I think their welfare is being overlooked in this very public display of mea culpa.

Re: Jon Gosselin;
" He realized he made some bad decisions.­..." Sure, he threw away his meal ticket, now he's going to have to go out and look for a job like regular people. No sympathy from this quarter for this hormone challenged mutt.

Nice how in his claim to regret his actions, he takes no responsibl­ity but blames Kate. I am sure she can't wait to have him back.

So his true colors are finally showing, explains why Kate had to wear the pants in the family. She actually was mothering nine kids.

Everyone's marriage problems look simple from the outside.

And the best case for discretion is this: even when you are ready to forgive and makeup, your friends and family have a much harder time forgiving and letting you move on. (The TV audience doesn't qualify as friends and family -- but they will be the very last to wish this couple well.)

God bess Jon AND Kate - and here's hoping they can see the way back to where they began and save something that once was very precious to them both.

Reconcilia­tion is a beautful thing. The whole world could use a little more of it.

Just look at the wedding video: both faces full of love, joy, and expectatio­n.

Oh, you mean the choice to give it a second thought wasn't maybe because TLC decided to change the name of the show to "Kate Plus 8", or reading all the pathetic truth about yourself in the news!!

I was sympatheti­c to you in the beginning because I did feel that Kate was somewhat controllin­g, and treated you like another child, but that all changed, Mr. Hairplugs, after you lost your mind and humiliated her.

I still don't care much for Kate, but you, sir, are a DOG!!!!! You think your life was miserable before...j­ust wait until she takes your sorry a$$ back, honey...yo­u will NEVER be allowed to forget it!!!

You best think long and hard before you do so...you just might get what you ask for!!!!
