But he was wonderful and we got married and were together for ten years.

He was a pair-bonder...

some men really love being in a relationship and it's possible Jason is one of those men!

I have to agree with you. My husband was separated for almost a year before he even filed for divorce. I met him when the divorce was in process and we got married 6 months later. It will be 27 years on Saturday.

Regardless, he sounds like a hopeless romantic given the description of his proposal to his first wife.

ITA! I don't know what caused the divorce so I don't think it's a big issue..(not just because he's one of my favs )

I'm sure Jason's circumstances for divorce were reasonable if Dee likes enough to take him a ways.

Big difference between:

"My wife divorced me because I slept with her best friend"

and

"My wife and I divorced because we realized we had gotten too comfortable and were'nt really each other's soulmates, but I will always care for her, she's a good person."



Yes, I predict he lets her know the first night...

This sounds like Bettina's reason for her divorce. It sounds pretty shallow to me.

Perhaps his actions were not the reason for the divorce--maybe it was his wife that forced the issue (she cheated, left etc.). I think that would make me more comfortable with the situation if I were Dede.

I am interested in hearing him tell his story. I definately think he will disclose all on the first night. I was looking at their Knot page.. His wife was young.. I guess around 22- 23. She was labled as student. I am leaning to the thought that she wanted out. Maybe she felt to young to be tied. I could be wrong, but the way the episode is written.. something about "rebuilding his family" I'm not sure if that is right, but it sounds like a man who was heart broken over his broken family.. it doesn't sound like he wanted out. It sounds like he wants his fairy tale too.. and it ddn't work out the first time either.. Here's to second chances. Good lord.. that could be their theme.

Well, I agree. I really dont' want to offend anyone here, but that is a big warning sign. Who is to say that IF this was the reason that he would get too comfortable with Deanna later on.

Maybe Jason's wife up and left him one day ... and he was devastated by that b/c he believes marriage is forever and sacred...and he wants that in his life so he came on the show to take a chance on the BEAUTIFUL girl he saw during B11...

Good point... and just asking here: we have the option of him cheating on her and the option of them becoming too comfortable... but it could have been her who cheated on him after all... we don't know... but from the way Jason and his situation were described, it REALLY doesn't sound like he cheated on his wife, divorced, took the child away from her (the mom) and is now looking for a new wife and mommy on TV less than a year later...

Me too!! Maybe it was his ex who wanted out.. I've read that she just recently went on a trip to France for about 3 weeks.. It's possible she was the one who didn't want to stay together.. I guess we'll have to just wait and see what he tells DeAnna and whether Fleiss makes a big deal out of it..

I wonder if religion will be an issue between them. It would appear that he is Jewish and she is a Christian. It is a big obstacle for some who feel strong in their faith. For others who only go through the motions because that is the way they are raised, it's not as big of an issue.
