If there's ever been a reason to separate, that's it!

On yesterday's ABC special Primetime: Family Secrets, Jon Gosselin reveals that wife Kate would only agree to meeting with Dr. Phil for marriage counseling. Ouch!

But Jon, who "was very hesitant," claims Dr. Phil was more about fixing their image than their relationship...

"We talked about the brand and corporate things," says Jon. "I felt it was weird. I was like, 'Why am I here? I could be snowboarding.' It wasn't helping."

Dr. Phil countered back with "I have no comment on their marriage."

Well that sucks! And now Jon has a "$22,000 therapy bill." And it didn't even work!
