I feel bad for Meri, and I get why she needed him to tell her it was over to her face, but I don't get why she didn't know it was over, inside (or maybe didn't let herself know it was over).

When your husband has two other wives, and gets them Christmas presents, but doesn't get anything for you, he is telling you he doesn't love you. (This was way before Robyn.)

When he melts down the wedding ring you gave him, it's more than that he doesn't love you. He is telling you how much contempt he has for you and your union. (Robyn was on the scene by then, but not married to Kody.)

I feel bad for her too. I just can't get over how she didn't see the signs, they were as big as billboards. Christine didn't fool herself. Meri is still fooling herself. If I were her I'd be angry. Christine got angry. Meri has low self esteem.

A knight with a sword? LOL

Kody and Robyn's "date" - 🤮

Didn't he "knight" or something Caleb with a sword during Maddie and Caleb's wedding! King Kody 🤮

Oh snap! I missed Kody's comment while hugging Meri on moving day..."You have permission to move on." What an a$$!!! Then nerve of that jerk!

Kody thinks all the cute boys go to LDS churches, as he did in High School.

[Yeah No]

I saw Kody favor Robyn from 3,000 miles away on my freaking COUCH from day ONE. You mean Meri didn't see it?

Her friends are so right, they sound like us!

[GrannySmith]

Does anybody else think Kody has new false teeth?  They look large and too white. 

[Yeah No]

Meri and her Target talking head necklaces. I have them, lol.

[General Days]

I like Meri's friend, Brandy. I think having friends like Jenn and Brandy is good for Meri. They tell it like it is. Meri's other two friends who were at La Caille with her, last week (I forget their names) were pretty straight shooters, too. 

[Denize]

Brandy is very astute for someone who "doesn't even know" Kody.

[LotusFlower]

Not a Meri fan, but “I’ve been married once and divorced twice” was pretty funny.

[Denize]

Meri was legally divorced in a strip mall lawyer's office, then dumped at a picnic table in front of the poor girl, then divorced again by church elders, presumably in a secret sacred spot.

[General Days]

Meri should write that book. Married Once, Divorced Twice is too good of a title to pass up. 

SPARE ME Robyn saying she has been gaslit (in the previews), especially considering how she treated Meri during the strict Covid protocol days.

Meri sat alone in that house, seeing NO ONE. Even Kody was asking Robyn, "Why can't Meri come over, since she's isolating?" To Meri's face, Robyn would blame Kody. To Kody's face, Robyn would say Janelle and Christine would get upset if Kody and Robyn visited with Meri.

I don't usually blame Robyn for family troubles, because I think that excuses Kody, when no matter what she did or did not demand, he favored her; he put up with it, kowtowed to it, and let it dictate how he treated his other wives and children. The way she treated Meri during Covid was inexcusable though.

And once Robyn was finally called out on camera about it, she let Meri come over and visit -- Robyn's kids were thrilled to see her.

I hadn't thought about that, but that must be a knife in his other kidney for Kody to know that his kids with Robyn really love Meri!!  He'll lie enough to them in time to change their minds, I'm sure.

Birria or something similar?

This is killing  me to admit but I totally get Kody's reaction to Aurora and Breanna wanting to go to church and his apprehension.  I was for many years involved in a cult and when my grown son recently mentioned he was going to some church with his fiancee I totally freaked inside. I had so many questions. Fortunately both he and she were understanding about it and things seem okay and we've always been very clear about he gets to choose his life, not me. I had my turn, now it's his  But that internal alarm and fear I totally get. It's way real.

I love the Meri scenes. Watching her process her reality and seeing what great friends she has is encouraging. I wish her all the best. 

Christine is so happy and watching everyone who matters to her be happy for her is wonderful. Yes, it's tiresome to watch all the time but the reality of it makes me happy for her and I don't begrudge her the delight in all the things she never had and really missed. She gets them now.

The Kody/Robyn date was hard to watch. They do seem to be happy with each other's company.  I did cringe when Kody said that 'all of his kids' come to him regarding church etc and was confused until I realized that 'all' meant Robyn's kids. He was not meaning the OG kids.  That was heartbreaking and infuriating. He just keeps topping himself in his assholery. I don't know why that keeps surprising me.
