So, with Christine gone and Kody admitting he’s in love with neither Meri nor Janelle, that leaves RoboChin (and her fake tears that the other wives don’t have full functioning relationships with Kody). 

Meri, whether she’ll admit it or not, must be regretting bringing Robyn into the family. Robyn has destroyed it and has her “winner winner Ramen dinner” prize.

Wouldn't the humiliation of knowing the whole world heard your husband say he's not in love with you make you leave, even if nothing else did?? I've lived alone for a long time, so maybe the prospect just doesn't scare me, but Janelle has pretty much been a single mother as well. I'm betting her sons do 99% of the home maintenance that isn't covered by the landlord. Kody shows up once in a blue moon and helps for 20 minutes. I just don't understand why it's worth for her to pretend there's a marriage.

Gotta say, it looks better than most of the "creations" she posts. Knife skills need a little work, but all in all not bad.

So true, my grandparents were Indonesian and they taught me that leftovers could be used for all kinds of delicious meals. Few people realise that one of the most famous Indonesian dishes "Nasi Goreng" (fried rice) is technically nothing more than frying the leftover rice, bits of meat and vegetables in something like sambal. And my grand mother would cook brilliant "Soto" (soup) from leftovers too.

Looks like broccoli to these old eyes, but let’s go with cauliflower, unwashed cauliflower. 
Is there Plexus for dogs? Digestive issues in 3, 2, 1…..

Actually, it looks like romanesco. I'm pretty sure Janelle would have no clue what that was. 

[deirdra]

Romanesco goes by various names, including Romanesco broccoli, fractal broccoli, or Roman cauliflower, though it's considered to be a hybrid between cauliflower and broccoli.

I don’t think Janelle is in love with Kody either. Of all the wives I think his “affection level” for her is about equal as hers is to him. 
 

I do think she disagrees with him on certain things, but Janelle does with Janelle wants. I think she LIKES their relationship as it is, I don’t think he’s ever put her through the emotional distress he put Meri or Christine through.

ahh, we just call it broccoflower like I mentioned above.  Didn't know it had an official name and I certainly didn't know the others you listed.  But when I looked it up, they are one and the same

She just rolls with what Kootie wants, almost always.  She's rarely demanding, and goes along to get along.  It's good that she FINALLY said no to kicking her sons out.

I think Janelle takes advantage of Kody's unwillingness to completely walk away. He helped with the RV sometimes over the summer, and he does a little yard work. I think it's enough for her. In return, she does and goes where she wants.

I don't think Kody wants anything more from Janelle either.

Janelle doesn't seem to have a great deal of motivation to do anything other than stay.  Leaving would require planning, dealing with financial arrangements, etc.   Right now she can just hang out at home, go out if she wants, and have very little interaction with Kody  - which seems to suit her fine.   Except for Christine, she clearly doesn't want to put the effort into having day to day friendship/interaction with Robyn or Meri.    When Robyn suggested they "work" on their relationship, Janelle looked like she would rather have a root canal.    Kody will care less what she does - as long as it doesn't involve putting even the least demand on him.     Christine left because she wanted a better/different life.  Janelle is perfectly happy with life as it is - without any of the latest drama.

So do we think Janelle is aro?

What does aromantic mean?

People who are aromantic, also known as “aro,” don’t develop romantic attractions for other people. But that doesn’t mean they don’t have feelings. Aromantic people do form strong bonds and have loving relationships that have nothing to do with romance.

I also read it as aromatic at first lol!

As for Janelle, IMO I think she got used to not getting any from Kody and just accepted it.

She has always seemed somewhat depressed to me (lack of energy or motivation for anything, and every day life seeming to be so difficult for her) which can also kill the libido. Depending on health issues and meds, that can kill desire too, as well as stress.

 (Besides, I'd bet money that Kody is a two-pump-chump so she probably wasn't getting her socks rocked anyway.) 

[xwordfanatik]

I don't think that a narcissist such as Kootie cares about whether the wife in question is getting her sexual needs met, or not.

Janelle seems to think Kootie is hot, or so she has indicated.  Kootie is the one who seemed to be, eh...she's giving me stars in my crown, or some such fantasy of the next life, so, that's her value to me.

Sad how little Kootie cares so little about those eventual? points in heaven, here on earth.

I’ve said for a while that I think Janelle is aromantic or perhaps grey, while being heterosexual. 
 

I think I’m grey-romantic (or somewhere on that spectrum) and while I wouldn’t choose plural marriage, if I did, I would want Janelle’s “position” the most out of all of the wives. (But no I wouldn’t want Kody as a husband in this plural marriage).

That’s cause Janelle is heterosexual and sexually attracted to Kody (or she was), but I don’t think she was ever “in love” with him- because she’s on aromantic spectrum and romantic love isn’t really her jam. 
 

 I think she liked him, and enjoyed partnered sex with him but was never in love with him which is why she didn’t get super jealous like Christine or Meri would. 

 

I could be 100% projecting though.

This! She knows that "resistance is futile" with Kody Brown Borg.  So she probably saves herself the energy of even trying. So, she just rolls her eyes, thinks whatever dude.... and continues to do whatever she was doing or wanted to do.

 I am going to try this. I can’t have regular cookie dough (celiac) and the gluten feee versions are even more unhealthy. I already love chickpeas so, this is one of Janelle’s posts that has my attention! 

[laurakaye]

Wouldn't this essentially be hummus with chocolate chips?

And why would it be "saving" her today?  Isn't that what Plexus is for?  I thought her sugar cravings were a distant memory now.  Make up your mind, Janelle.  And enjoy the real cookie dough you'll surely be consuming later tonight.

There is chocolate hummus and it's delicious. This looks like basically the same thing only chocolate hummus has the chocolate blended in rather than chips.

[ginger90]

Notice how she got out of providing the recipe! 🤣😂

Meanwhile the other Plexus wonder is asking for recipes for kefir.

So basically... hummus.

You just process the chickpeas with a food processor.  Hummus has several other things added which give it it's savory flavor.

For hummus, required ingredients besides chickpeas generally are tahini, garlic and olive oil (I learned the homemade fresh method in Israel). Chickpea mash is a good base for many creations, but they aren’t all hummus. 

And yeah, where was Plexus to save those cravings she swears she doesn’t get on Plexus? Contradict much? Also, she seriously looks the same size, at least in the one-on-one she looks like she hasn’t lost an ounce. 

I’m definitely going to try the “cookie dough” and will report back afterwards. 

[deirdra]

I make low-carb "cookie dough" (basically a flourless shortbread dough) with melted butter, sweetener, dash of salt, dash of vanilla, then almond meal is stirred in for a dough consistency. Cocoa powder can be added to the melted butter if you want chocolate.  It can be made in small amounts to eat raw & satisfy a craving without blowing the diet or raising blood sugar. No Plexus needed.

And since she is self-employed, deducts it from her US taxes, so in effect other Americans are paying for it. Just another way to Bleed the Beast.
