something I see a lot is that ned should have told catelyn about jon’s parentage because then she wouldn't dislike him and treat him well and I think that would be very stupid of him. to truly understand catelyn’s feelings about jon and that entire situation you have to create two groups. one, her own feelings on the matter and two, her thoughts regarding her children. those two categories are separate even though they are influenced by each other. first category:

Many men fathered bastards. Catelyn had grown up with that knowledge. It came as no surprise to her, in the first year of her marriage, to learn that Ned had fathered a child on some girl chance met on campaign. He had a man's needs, after all, and they had spent that year apart, Ned off at war in the south while she remained safe in her father's castle at Riverrun. Her thoughts were more of Robb, the infant at her breast, than of the husband she scarcely knew. He was welcome to whatever solace he might find between battles. And if his seed quickened, she expected he would see to the child's needs. He did more than that. The Starks were not like other men. Ned brought his bastard home with him, and called him "son" for all the north to see. When the wars were over at last, and Catelyn rode to Winterfell, Jon and his wet nurse had already taken up residence.

AGOT Catelyn II catelyn is obviously hurt that ned brought jon home for all to see because it wasn't the custom. it was normal for men to have bastards, especially during war but you did not flaunt them and that was what ned was doing basically. and cat was obviously not too happy with the marriage from the start because it wasn’t brandon and on top of that ned was embarrassing her in front of everyone and she can't do anything about it. of course she is emotional about it which makes her resent jon because she can’t resent ned openly without making her life worse (which is a completely different topic, might go into that in a different post).

Whoever Jon's mother had been, Ned must have loved her fiercely, for nothing Catelyn said would persuade him to send the boy away. It was the one thing she could never forgive him.

AGOT Catelyn II catelyn believes that ned still loves jon's mother deep down or was completely in love with her when they conceived jon which also hurts her deeply because at this point she is completely in love with ned. she feels as if he cares more about his mothers memory than of her and her emotions, because we know from the text that she has tried to send jon away and hasn't succeeded.  second category:

"Precedent," she said bitterly. "Yes, Aegon the Fourth legitimized all his bastards on his deathbed. And how much pain, grief, war, and murder grew from that? I know you trust Jon. But can you trust his sons? Or their sons? The Blackfyre pretenders troubled the Targaryens for five generations, until Barristan the Bold slew the last of them on the Stepstones. If you make Jon legitimate, there is no way to turn him bastard again. Should he wed and breed, any sons you may have by Jeyne will never be safe." "Jon would never harm a son of mine."

ASOS Catelyn V a very important part of catelyn's character is that she cares deeply about her children. she isn't dumb and understand politics very well, she has knowledge about what could happen with succession if its left blurred between the lines. she also understands that jon himself might not be a threat so she could potentially think he is great but it would not matter because his line could be a threat to her children. this is not her being emotional about jon being ned's and the hurt it caused her but her being emotional of the potential harm on her children which is different. now if ned told her about jon's true parentage then category one would be erased that's true. catelyn would not feel any personal hurt by jon or his existence because her husband didnt embarrass her or love another woman. however, category two would increase because the harm jon could cause her family is much greater. ned is committing treason by having jon among them obviously she would care, i believe she would care even more because it affects her children. she would not like jon because instead of resentment towards him, she would be afraid. people tend forget category two which is extremely important in understanding catelyn and her emotions. which is why i think telling her would be stupid because he is kind of saying that their entire family could be killed if people knew.
