Just Wondering

THIS!

Things I’m remembering - Kody casually mentioning having lunch with Logan. Robyn complaining that someone suggested/reminded her that she wasn’t there from the beginning or something? Is it possible Christine intends to return to Utah in order to be reassigned to a new husband - since Kody won’t plural marriage her? Yes! I’ve long thought that Kody does the bare minimum in order to keep C and J around to avoid paying child support.

I don’t care if Kody once impregnated two or three wives at once, I still believe his sex drive is the pits. That Darger fellow has his ladies in LINE. They keep their bodies fit, they share a kitchen, and they let their sisters marry him. He has to be one solid lover AND love talker to have so little (public) complaints from his concubines. I imagine he’s perfectly willing to sidle up to a hurting or jealous wife and tell all the lies he needs to, plus physically show her who still loves you, baby. I think this sort of behavior is the only way these men really keep more than one lady hanging around hating herself daily. Kody doesn’t seem to know these tricks even now and flips to the opposite side of this devil’s coin to make his ladies feel unattractive and unfulfilled cuz they made him angry and why should he say something he’s just not feeling? Kody needs to do one or the other - grEAt sex or lots of encouraging, loving words. But clearly he can’t do both and this shiz they’re living doesn’t work without lies. D.U.M.B.A.S.S.

Also, in almost every article I’ve read or testimony I’ve heard, older wives are put out to pasture. What is happening in this family is not unusual or mysterious, but these ladies apparently haven’t paid attention. Although, Christine seemed to say outright that lots of plural families are living the same way.

Did Christine actually admit lots of plural families are living the same way they do?

Did I miss any scenes where Kody was having a warm, family-sitting-together-on-couch scenes with any other “wives” besides Robyn? Excluding the obligatory Maddie/Caleb arrival scene at Christine’s. Because before they arrived, Kody was on the couch by himself while the children chatted with Christine at the kitchen island.

Christine had to beg for donations to pay for a serious surgery for her daughter, but the family meeting only addresses grievances about not getting enough personal time with Kody? And Kody had the temerity to be pissed with Christine about her needs?

Yes! This is exactly why Meri kept swole and silent.

Since faith is supposedly at the center of their situation, I feel obliged to remind Kody of the following: Matthew: 26 ...but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; 27 And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: 28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

Extra frustrating to watch since we now know that C-19 is gonna make matters much worse.

Hoo wee! Kody letting Christine know he stays on his phone to avoid her. The maturity! The Godliness!

I’m such a dummy and reading through too quickly. 😜

Just watched Kody being interviewed on (I think) ETonline. It appears he does not regret his actions in certain instances, only that they were filmed and televised to the masses. I also have to note that C-19 has made it impossible for any polygamist to defend this practice. Kody was self-righteously “sitting there” describing how he has to carefully explain a skip in rotation to “wives” who run about risking exposure to said virus. If he hoped to win points for this carefulness, he succeeded only in reminding me how judgmental and punitive he can be. He also only reminded me that no man can adequately meet the needs of multiple women, but instead unashamedly expects them to meet each other’s needs in lieu of finding a spouse of their own. I’m certain Christine must have paid a hefty 2-week price for flying to her daughter’s out-of-town surgery. And as much as I blame Kody for this continued, endless, sanctioned abandonment, I blame Christine equally for staying. Why hasn’t it dawned on Christine that because of her husband’s multiple “marriages” she has had to appeal to fans and clients (some of whom don’t make nearly as much as Christine) for help with her daughter’s surgery? And I mean the daughter she shares with the same man who not only couldn’t help provide funds for his family in this instance but is now on my screen lecturing away about why he has to withhold his presence from them as well. And if someone points out that Christine’s exposure would have unfairly infected lots of other “wives” and children, it will only prove my point that polygamy is evil - yes, evil. I do apologize. I’m finally as mad as some of my fellow commenters on this forum.

Such good points. I always feel Christine is forgetting that the Brown’s whole situation could’ve greatly benefited from three extra spouses to go around. It would’ve meant more helping hands, more income, and more... love - especially since it was their idea that love should be multiplied, not divided.

LOL! Oops! (I’ll show myself out.) 😜

I didn’t realize. You are a child of polygamy?

This has me wondering if these TLC weddings even really mattered that much to the parties involved - except for show/work purposes. Could Tokelti maybe have actually been sealed in the temple? If they met the requirements? And Aspitch maybe actually had a private FLDS sealing thingy? And Caddie may have actually been married by Caleb’s dad in a saner setting? That would make these ceremonies turned circuses (with Kody kilting and knighting people) not as disappointing as they would’ve been otherwise.

Same. Only I make it a three-way with the script writers.

Lol! Maybe these ladies don’t need a new show because we’re all still watching thIS one. If TLC cared, they could fake a desertion without starting a whole new program. It would be no different than a fake adoption and it would get better ratings. It would have Bachelorette type vibes. It’s either that or wife number five. But I realize this won’t be happening because it makes too much sense to add extra wives on a show about polygamy.

Again, confusing celebrity with true entrepreneurship. Again, using her celebrity as a member of a cult that devalues women to take further advantage of women. Again, using said celebrity to fool said women into believing she actually still adheres to the tenants of said cult - while profiting from its lies. Again, confusing new Rice Krispie treat varieties with business goals.

They were waiting for her to turn 18 to make things official.

And she seems to have always seen herself as the person to please. She quit before Kody could fire her, but the situation wasn’t so simple when Robyn came along.

LOL! Same deal. Christine says her happiness over Kody’s breakup with the younger girl was “short lived” because then Kody told her about Janelle. As you pointed out, Christine didn’t cut anybody off over thAT courtship. Hee!

Christine does write that she couldn’t see a girl so young and so cute in her (Christine’s) future, so I suppose she may have meant she couldn’t hold up to the competition. Though this throws some shade on Meri since Christine was fine to be co-wife with hER. Heh Also, the audacity of Christine to summarily cut off matrimonial opportunities based on the other wives’ looks. It’s almost like God has nothing to say to this - HEH.

When Christine was still single, with a huge crush on Kody, she was devastated when he started courting a cuter, younger girl for his second wife. She couldn’t watch.
