Geeze K&R's kids can't even hear a discussion about moving??? Talk about protective. They are old enough to know what she is doing. 

They are going to know eventually? So why not then? 

[lgprimes]

Seriously, are Robyn’s kids just going to think Meri disappeared into thin air?

[General Days]

I do enjoy Meri calmly reading Kody for filth in the couch segments. "He didn't have the integrity..."

I also appreciated that she said the thing about how it's hard to leave the kids (Robyn's) but that she didn't really get to see them much anyhow, even though she texted and asked all the time.

Put it all out there, Meeer.

Agree, but did like how Jen called Meri out for saying she’s only been single for a month.  “You mean ten years.”  Right, Jen!

I’ll never forget when Meri’s mother died (unexpectedly, as I remember), Kody wouldn’t and didn’t drive to Parawan with her.  It’s one of the worst things he’s ever done, and that’s saying something. 

YES!

[Denize]

Two years ago on the show (3+ yrs ago IRL) Kody said "I don't understand why she (Meri) doesn't just leave" and made a face, it was clear to viewers that Kody was saying he was done with her - doesn't Meri watch the show?

I do think he sent her mixed messages. I also think she wanted him to tell her to her face, and part of the reason she wanted that, is so that she would have grounds to get a religious release from their marriage from the AUB.

That episode being shown on tv was when Meri  knew it was done.  Remember this episode here was filmed in early 2023. So IRL it’s only been a few months since the episode you mention was shown. 

[General Days]

Oh my word, Ysabel is breaking my heart with the tears. I hope Kody watches this and feels it in his gut. I think he's not capable, though.

[Gramto6]

Ysabel was heartbreaking to listen too. She sees the relationships David has with his kids and beginning now with Christine's and she hurts that she doesn't have that maybe never will have with her own dad. Made me cry to hear her.

[lgprimes]

Oh Ysabel! 
She almost made me cry. CALL HER KODY!

 So her real hurt is that it’s hard to watch David with his children, because it makes it more obvious what she doesn’t have.

As "Christine's kids" I suspect Ysabel & Truely feel the same way (or worse) when they watch Kody with "his and Robyn's kids"

He ain't calling that child. Robyn's kids NEED him 24/7. He's such a sorry excuse for a man/dad/human.

[lgprimes]

Hahaha the most anticlimactic marriage proposal reaction ever.

[mythoughtis]

They already picked out rings, picked out a wedding date and venue, and bought a house.  She needed an actual proposal?

She hasn't had an engagement party on the show, so she probably thinks she is not "engaged" yet

Wait didn’t Kody previously say that he never loved Meri, it was toxic etc….now he is sobbing and saying they had something great? I totally believe Meri Shen she said he was throwing mixed signals

[General Days]

Oh spare us, Kody.

Did you all catch Kody sobbing and literally shaking at leaving Meri in Parowan? 

He's not right in the head.

[Gramto6]

Oh stuff it Kody wiith the fake tears and sadness. You got exactly what you wanted...Meri gone. No one believes that you are sad to see her go. Robyn has taught him the fake tears well!!

[Denize]

Kody doesn't seem to realize that everything he says is recorded and we can play it back and hear all of his contradictions and BS

[General Days]

Kody has done nothing but sh1t on that girl for at least the last 10 seasons.

I truely believe K&R think we are totally ignorant and believe every contradictory word is really true.  They seem to think we can't remember what was said before.

Honestly, would they even notice she was gone? I doubt it.

Yes, he’s throwing mixed signals, but it makes sense to me because of Kody’s narcissism.  He didn’t seem to ever like Meri, but he liked having her around.  Same with Janelle and Christine.  It was the part of polygamy that he liked the most - being the king of the castle, having total control over all his relationships and all of their lives.  
 

The tears aren’t for Meri, they’re for himself, and everything he’s losing.

LOL, well they certainly don't do anything to help us not be confused.! It is hard when they are living in an alternate reality where they are always right no matter what the truth really is.

[lgprimes]

Paedon is kind is a jerk huh?

Yep!

Moving on the Anniversary!! Sneaky Merii!  :))

[General Days]

CHRISTINE: "We're getting married in seven months!"

That thing where the wait 'til your wedding is way longer than you've known the guy so far.

Burn that bed, Meri! (Well, don't, because the fumes would be horrific, but burn it in your mind, girl.)

[mythoughtis]

Not in that scene.  He knew his mom wanted that reaction and he gave it to her. 

Oh Kody.  Give it a rest.  Sacred with Robyn hah 

[General Days]

Like Kody, Christine, Mykelti, and Gwendlyn, Paedon likes attention. Those three kids come by it honestly on both sides.

Meri cracking up is cracking me up. Poor thing though, "That's closer than I've been to him in years."

[lgprimes]

If we each took a shot every time Christine says “we’re engaged”… none of us would be in shape to go to work tomorrow.

[mythoughtis]

Kody - you told Christine you weren’t attracted to her yourself

So Christine knew Janelle didn’t control the money

Yes, he did!  And he said he was disgusted by how she ate nachos too. What a jerk!

[General Days]

It hurts my soul to give any credit to Kody, but Janelle is being a little bit of a Teflon Queen, here.

She used to talk (on the show) like she managed the money. I don't doubt that Kody was the BOSS of the money, but Janelle was keeping the books.

Even if Kody was telling her what to do, then Janelle knew what was going on. And she didn't tell her sister wives, until the end of all the marriages.

I think Meri's right. Neither of them are being 100% truthful. 

[mythoughtis]

And here we go with little Mrs drama queen

[General Days]

Robyn's here. The fun died. Like you could feel it through the TV screen. Nathan, Kody, and Meri were having helluva good time, and then the Dark Queen descended. Wait. She doesn't deserve that title. Robyn is the Dark Cloud.

[sainte-chapelle]

Squeeze out those fake tears Robyn, it’s alll about her

[Gramto6]

It is nice to see Meri so strong and not letting anything/anyone bring her down.  Boo hoo Drama Queen, you got what you wanted cut out the fake tears!!

[General Days]

Do you all think Meri is onto Robyn?

[mythoughtis]

Just now, General Days said:

Absolutely

[sainte-chapelle]

I think she may be clueing in

[General Days]

Meri kind of had a stank face on toward the end of her time with Robyn. I think she was saying, "Thank you," or something, and it made me hope that she will let herself see everything with clear eyes. 

I do think Jenn is onto Robyn. She made that pretty clear last season in those Talk Back episodes. 

[Gramto6]

4 minutes ago, General Days said:

I think she is. Did you see the blah look on Meri's face as Sobbyn was hugging and crying all over her? Like she was thinking, "yeah, yeah, I know what is up really with you!"

[General Days]

Yeah, exactly, @Gramto6.

[sainte-chapelle]

I will say it again. I thought she was toxic and Kody never loved her?

[mythoughtis]

Kody hadn’t spent any time with Meri for a decade.  Why is he bemoaning the end of something special?  Where was he all these years? 
 

And Meri’s thinking ‘ what the hell’. 

Edited November 25, 2024 by mythoughtis

[General Days]

Meri looks really slim in the couch segment where she says that she did have a hard time when they brought a new wife into the family. It looked newer than the other couch segments.

Fun fact: they leave the clothes they wear in the couch segments at the studio, in case they have to do a reshoot or come in for a follow-up.

Just now, sainte-chapelle said:

Right? He's such a jackass.

Poor Jenn and Nathan look like they would be grateful if aliens landed and carried them off into the unknown, as long as they could get out of that room and away from Kryin' Kody.

[sainte-chapelle]

Im with you Meri…none of us get it

[Gramto6]

Kody is just trying to get sympathy from the viewers. Poor me, I lost it all, wah, wah, wah. Sob, sob, what a fricking jacka$$!!

[sainte-chapelle]

It’s isn’t about Meri or the wives as people…it is about his ego 

[General Days]

It's a totally different life for Kody than he had three years ago, but Meri's been alone for a decade or more.
