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.”

UPDATE: Jon Gosselin is an a**hole.  

Jon is feeling remorseful over what he did to Kate, because TLC is dropping his ass! Just a few hours ago, TLC announced that they are dropping Jon from Jon and Kate Plus 8, and it will now be called Kate Plus 8. Would Jon care about working on his marriage – if TLC hadn’t announced they were 86′ing him? Grrr…this really pisses me off.

TLC has announced they are dropping Jon Gosselin from his reality show with wife Kate Gosselin. As of November 2, Jon will no longer appear on Jon and Kate Plus 8.

The name of the show will be changed to Kate Plus 8 and will only feature Kate and their 8 children.

The announcement comes 3 months after the couple filed for divorce and began filming their appearances on the show separately. Neither Jon nor Kate has commented on TLC’s announcement. No reason for the decision to axe Jon from the show was given.

Meanwhile, Kate has reportedly taped a pilot for a talk show with Food Network star Paula Deen. The show is reportedly centered around mothers and gives tips on a variety of topics.
