AndreaF October 2, 2015 Share October 2, 2015 (edited) Kody gets whatever he deserves from these women whether that be dumping him, cheating on him, unhappiness, constant "counseling" sessions, jealousy, laundry lists of grievances with him, etc., etc., etc. I don't give one crap how he feels about any of it because he has it coming. The only thing Meri is guilty of is cheating herself out of a real relationship and compromising her self respect by continuing to stay in a negative situation if she really wants out - Not to mention her dishonesty with the rest of the family and with the TLC viewing audience. The trouble is that Kodouche is in control of the rules of these relationships, not the women, and even though they all say they accept it (yeah right and I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell them) all their difficulties with the situation say otherwise so I'm not buying it. Kody is not willing to rewrite the rules of their crazy relationship in order to be on board with the women pursuing other love interests while staying involved with him. So if Meri stays there she's technically cheating. The only way not to be cheating is to walk away from the relationship. Don't divorce him but then say "everything's the same between us, right?" because if it is, that would mean pursuing other men is still out of the question. There is no "half way" for these women - Either they're on board with Kodouche and his tyranny or they get out. Anything else is being dishonest and below board with themselves and with him. Even if Meri were to be open about pursuing other men I kind of doubt Kody would let her do it and still be in whatever "commitment" relationship they supposedly have. If he did let that happen that would be another story altogether, but I still don't think such polyamorous situations ever work out for the best for all involved, but that's just me. That's true, but not what I was saying. I didn't mean he wouldn't care, only that he shouldn't get to be upset after being King of the DBags for almost 30 years. As far as "technically" being married goes, it doesn't mean crap if your whole world is as screwed up as theirs is. Their view of reality would never include the sense of honor or common sense that you stated... their thought process is twisted beyond the beyond. EDIT -- sorry Snarklepuss...

It's easier and more dramatic than actually being truthful and addressing the problems. It's pretty classic behavior, especially with men, to want to end a relationship, but not have the balls to break up, so they start doing really irritating, obnoxious, etc., things so the other person will break up with them, thus taking the burden of being the 'bad guy'. I think she was having fun with her little secret, validating that she's still attractive to someone, lining up her next relationship so she could leave, and she chose a a really poor catalyst for all of this. She has no one to blame but herself for her own actions. If she's gay/bi/experimenting/whatever, who knows.

RazzleberryPie October 4, 2015 Share October 4, 2015 What gives all this a big eyeroll and less credibility, is legal marriage and spiritual marriage. Legal marriage is easy to define. The law says you're married or divorced (let's ignore legally separated for now). The Browns say they're still all spiritually married, so the family dynamic is the same, but the legal marriage has just changed from Meri to Robyn. If they're insisting that the spiritual marriage outweighs or takes precedence over everything else, and that they're all spiritually married, then Meri is cheating. Committing adultery,because she's a married woman having a relationship with someone not her spouse. If they're spiritually divorced, and she spiritually kicked Kody to the curb AND legally divorced him, then just admit it. Who cares if you have a boyfriend/girlfriend/catfish/dogfish/whatever. You're free, do what you want, just admit to it. This whole spiritual marriage revolving door is just nonsensical. I image Kody standing on a block with a wand, going "today, I marry you, and you, and you, but you're divorced. Buh bye. Now let's go spend money we don't have while I toss my hair in the wind." I don't care if consenting adults have one or fifteen spiritual marriages or whatever. I have yet to see on these TV shows a polyg situation that works (everyone gets along and doesn't have jealous/power tripping issues), but if that's what you choose, ok. Just admit to what you're doing and stop trying to con us. 12 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3427-meri-brown-and-her-wet-bar-of-tears/page/6/#findComment-1567729

Kohola3 October 5, 2015 Share October 5, 2015 But of course, the questions from every season are how much and how is it divided. A rational family would be carefully saving for each child and investing but the Brown Financial Plan has always been about defaulting on loans and declaring bankruptcy. Since we know for sure they all took interest only loans on the McMansions, there couldn't have been much in the way of solid savings for any of them. So even ditching any hope for the kiddies, I can't see how much each adult would clear especially since there are not that many episodes per the TLC version of a season. This is providing the Lord High King on Earth even parcels any out for personal items. I can see him handling out allowances to his subservient females - they get the grocery money and have to live creatively off of that. We already know that Christine was told to pay for a trip to see her family by using grocery money. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3427-meri-brown-and-her-wet-bar-of-tears/page/6/#findComment-1568202
RazzleberryPie October 5, 2015 Share October 5, 2015 Meri might be taking out loans or charging all of Meriah's expenses, but these people were all bankrupt, had to finagle to get into those McMansions, and still live lavish lifestyles. They also said they had the (nonsensical) system of putting all the money in the pot and dividing it by the four wives. Meri should not be 'punished' with less money, because she has one child, while the rest have 5+. Which makes no sense to me, when you're talking about basic necessities like food, shelter, etc. If they're truly a loving family where every kid is equal and they all have four moms, then divide food money by each individual instead of each wife. No one should have any extra vacation money left over, while others are scrimping, if they are truly one family unit. Of course, them having four separate homes totally blows that united family theory out of the water. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3427-meri-brown-and-her-wet-bar-of-tears/page/6/#findComment-1568967

DeusExMaraschino October 5, 2015 Share October 5, 2015 I'm somewhat iffy on the catfish scandal. It's pretty easy to manipulate voicemails and emails and pictures. It seems weird to me that of all people, Meri Brown would be a specific target of someone like this. They could've had a perfectly platonic relationship as coworkers or working together on a project for school and someone is just editing the hell out of the communication. You'd have to piss someone off pretty badly to have them come after you like this. On the other hand, there is definitely something weird going on. Her reaction when the papers got signed by Robin's ex was very understated. It could be that a few months gave her time to get used to the new dynamic in the family, but still. If it's all (sob) about (sob) the children (sob) it was a pretty nonchalant reaction to the amazing news that Kody's ego I mean family was growing. re: the sextape: The catfisher may be exaggerating about the sex tape or it may be a tape of a phone conversation that got sexual.

CofCinci October 6, 2015 Share October 6, 2015 (edited) From PEOPLE: “During an emotional and vulnerable time earlier this year, I began speaking with someone online who turned out to be not who they said they were,” Meri told People. “I never met this person and I regret being drawn into this situation, but I hope because of it I can help others who find themselves in similar circumstances.” Oh, Meri. Why lie? Edited October 6, 2015 by CofCinci 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3427-meri-brown-and-her-wet-bar-of-tears/page/6/#findComment-1573327
Kohola3 October 6, 2015 Share October 6, 2015 Gotta be tough keeping all of those prevarications in order. Especially when they have been posted on social media for all the world to see. Geez, that man/woman/person is certainly homely. 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3427-meri-brown-and-her-wet-bar-of-tears/page/6/#findComment-1573351
Kellyee October 6, 2015 Share October 6, 2015 Was Meri having a romantic online relationship with this catfish? Or was she just speaking with someone? Was it after the current season was taped, or before? That might throw a wrench into her and Janelle's "therapy".

Was it after the current season was taped, or before? That might throw a wrench into her and Janelle's "therapy".Meri's relationship began in March and lasted through June/July. It seems that most of this season was filmed in June/July. Meri's sour face during the episodes is because she either just learned she was scammed or couldn't deal with Kody anymore because she was in love with Sam. Jackie Overton (Sam, Lindsey) paid a man to talk to Meri as Sam. I'm guessing there was a lot of sexting. Meri went to Disneyland for a bootycall with Sam but Sam had an emergency, sending his assistant Lindsey instead. Jackie Overton was both Sam and Lindsey, becoming Meri's soulmate (Sam) and new bestie (Lindsey). Jackie also played another character of a name I can't remember who was a young guy employed by Sam that came from a polygamist household and struggled with his thoughts/feelings. Overton scammed another woman right before Meri for $25,000 and used that money to woo Meri.Meri has to be mindfucked by this whole experience.

RealityCowgirl October 6, 2015 Share October 6, 2015 Because Disneyland is where I conduct all of MY illicit affairs, "emotional" and otherwise... :) Sheesh. Hadn't really thought about that little detail amidst all the other surreal crap unfolding before our eyes. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3427-meri-brown-and-her-wet-bar-of-tears/page/6/#findComment-1573459
Christi October 6, 2015 Share October 6, 2015 The People article is weird. It says that the divorce was so that Robyn's oldest three could get insurance and benefits from Kody. It also states the wrong ages for those kids. Wow, I feel bad for Meri. How humiliating. Where the hell does Cody get insurance? 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3427-meri-brown-and-her-wet-bar-of-tears/page/6/#findComment-1573499

DakotaJustice October 6, 2015 Share October 6, 2015 If Kody joined the SAG-AFTRA Union, they have great health insurance. They aren't eligible for SAG/AFTRA. Reality shows aren't considered eligible last time I checked. Otherwise they'd be making way more $. The insurance story is just that - a story. They probably have a group policy thru Brown Family Entertainment and the kids have been covered for awhile. Ya know I thought originally that Meri was in on the scam as payback against Kody and Robyn. But now I think she felt this was the real deal and that she was going to be rescued by this rich, cute Sam person. She was in love so she lost a bunch of weight. And clearly at the time of filming she could give two shits about the show because Sam was going to whisk her away. Now she knows better and is doing damage control in an attempt to salvage their bread and butter before they get shitcanned. Like others have said the Browns should be thanking Josh Duggar for saving their asses, because otherwise SW would be gone. 10 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3427-meri-brown-and-her-wet-bar-of-tears/page/6/#findComment-1573719
