Jon & Kate Plus 8 dad Jon Gosselin is admitting he "showed poor judgment" by leaving a bar at 2 a.m. with a mystery woman and without his wedding band -- while his wife Kate was across the country promoting a book.

"Like most people, I have male and female friends, and I'm not going to end my friendships just because I'm on TV," the dad of 8 tells Extra. "However, being out with them late at night showed poor judgment on my part.

"What makes me sick is that my careless behavior has put my family in this uncomfortable position," he continues. "My family is the most important thing in my life and it kills me that these allegations have hurt them."

A clubgoer tells the newest issue of Us Weekly that Jon "could barely walk" after spending nearly three hours with a mystery woman he referred to as "babe." After being spotted by photographers, the two hastily sped off in a car without turning on the headlights.

Jon told Us in an emailed statement that he went to Legends Lounge -- near the $1.3 million family home in Wernersville, Pennsylvania -- that night to "speak to the owner. A friend of mine wanted to check out my car, so I let her drive it to her car."

But this isn't the first time Jon has seemingly strayed.

Check out the day's top news photos.

In February, the 32-year-old was spotted flirting with -- and even attempting to kiss -- coeds at Juniata College, multiple students confirm to Us Weekly. (He denied any wrongdoing.) He told one coed "he was getting divorced." In the May Ladies Home Journal, he says, "I always thought I would be, like, 54 years old and marry a 19-year-old or something."

For more details on Jon's bizarre late nights out away from his family, why neighbors in town believe they may have split, how he "hates" attention from the hit show -- and the real story on their marriage once the reality TV cameras are turned off -- pick up the newest issue of Us Weekly, on stands now.

    Jon, If you are a man, You appolize to Kate. And if you can not live with her as husband and wife then explain things to her. And be friends or social to her. I believe you have disgraced your children for your stupid reactions. I think you deserve not to be allowed to even see them. Smoking Pot around them. These women is not worth losing your family over.

    Jon Failed to abide by the ten comandments. I don't belive that Jon had lived his life , and got all the wild intentions he was missing out on. That is no excuse for cheating. I personally dont think Kate was having affair. She did talk to john bad and demanded him to do things right then. They was concered about the family, but they needed to have time to talk about problems....

    She treated the man like he was a child too I think he should have left not cheated but I don't blame him for leaving and he should have taken the kids with him because she treats them like crap.

    Kate really mistreated John. She publically humiliated him, yelled at him, belittled him and was very rude to her husband on many occassions. She was a real diva and a complainer and if I was married to her...I would find it difficult to honor her and cherish her. I think a little sugar and affection go a long way in keeping ones marriage together.
