I certainly wish Christine a better partner and brighter future. I have a healthy dislike for Joe Darger, but I must give the guy at least some credits as he seems to be doing a better job with holding his family together. But.... Kody at least opted for 4 different wives, with only Meri and Janelle having some sort of family connection (though not by blood). Joe Darger on the other hand... come on! marrying two cousins on the same day? And then marry the identical twin sister of one of your wives?? Boy that's creepy.... 16 Link to comment

If Kody says he was turned off by her weight and eating habits, he must be endlessly nauseated by Meri and Janelle—they’re both obese Because Kody is an evil manipulative asshat and he never wanted Christine in the first place, he only wanted the status she brought him by marrying her - she was plyg royalty and it gave him his pretend planet status. I think at the heart of it, Christine gave Kody's ego a massive boost - here was this woman who would do anything to garner a few scraps of his attention, and he knew he could do or say basically anything to her and it would just make her grovel at his feet even more. If he had gone after Janelle for her weight, she'd just withdraw and it wouldn't be fun for Kody to go to her house anymore (in rewatching older episodes, it's crystal clear that Kody would hide at Janelle's house when he wanted to be left alone). If he went after Meri, she would whine and cry and hound him to talk about his rill fillings for her, and Kody doesn't like fillings. With Christine, he could punish her and she would silently sulk back to her house, internalize everything he told her was wrong with their relationship, and then come back as the happy, bubbly wife to try and appease him. He never loved her, IMO, he just needed her to legitimize his standing as a plyg man in a community that seems to have been on the fence about his real motives. 3 14 Link to comment
Sasha888 November 9, 2021 Share November 9, 2021 Christine pretty much shamelessly chased Kody - she admits as much in their book. He was already a married man, and in addition he and Meri were at the time pursuing a relationship with a potential second wife who did not pan out. His interests were clearly elsewhere. When that fell through, Kody was still not interested in Christine and decided to pursue Janelle. While I am not absolving Kody of his massive responsibility in this whole mess, I've always felt Christine has her share of the blame as well. I've heard her brag on the show about how "connected" she was in their church. Christine's father was an important man in this church, and Kody was a newbie - he got strong-armed into marrying a girl he didn't really want. Christine didn't mind using her influence to get this new cute guy in their group for herself, and she didn't really care that Kody was obviously not into it, as long as she got what she wanted. I'm not saying Kody's not heavily at fault here as well, but so is she. She stubbornly pursued him no matter how many times he tried to weasel away from her. I'm glad she's getting away from this mess, and she absolutely did not deserve years of emotional abuse. There's no excuse for Kody's behavior, but Christine had a hand in making her own problems. You can drag a man kicking and screaming down the aisle, but you can't make him love you. 1 15 Link to comment

When they got married and for many years after Meri was typical/slim. Janelle has always been heavy, but Janelle probably wasn’t insecure about it the same way Christine was so picking at her about it wasn’t going to get the same response. Christine seems to be the most sensitive and emotionally vulnerable of the three (which is a good and bad thing). As someone who was a fat kid and is a fat adult, how someone reacts to bullying really has a lot to do with how bullies act (I am not victim blaming here, being a bully is wrong). If you call a fat kid fat and they say “okay, and?” the bullies will likely leave them alone. If you call a normal weight kid fat and they cry, the bullies will keep coming back. I think Christine desperately wanted Kody’s approval and praise- he knew that and withheld it as he saw fit. He knew she was sensitive about her weight. 10 Link to comment

So I highly doubt he is not named in the hospital files as a father, making it also likely that he is on the birth certificate. Minimal income and assets is very likely but if Christine decided to really push through, Kody could be forced to sell what limited assets he has. The question is; is she willing to take things to court and turn it into a lengthy and ugly battle? I doubt it. I think she's going to try to make it work with just Truely. I am only hoping she decided to make a stand and kept all the money she earned from her house. 11 Link to comment

Janelle has her head firmly planted in the sand and she intends to stay that way. I think she and Kody do have a relationship, of sorts, but they way you described it as sibling-like is right on the money. Her pretending that she has a "husband" is pathetic at this point. But her boys?? Yeah, you hit the nail right on the head there. I especially want to know what Hunter says to his mother about this. He has shown himself to pretty much pull no punches with all this baloney. If they want to show me a tv show worth watching, let's see some discussions like that, because I'm pretty sure the word "dickhead" was involved!

I, and I think a lot of other people, are sick and tired of watching Meri rehash the same shit year after year. I have walls! Kody isn't being nice to me! Hey did you know I was catfished? Would you like to meet some other ladies that were also victims, but really my reason for this is so I can relive my time with fake Sam and his hot banana? 🤮 Meri's a hot mess but that's only interesting for a little while. She's just the same old hot mess she was years ago, she can't grow as a person, and her relationship with Kody can't be a storyline either because that's going nowhere, he's done with her. You can only talk about how done your relationship is for so long. Christine's problems are the big new thing, and not only that but she actually did something about her problems! Way more interesting. So now, Meri has even been replaced as the "out wife". I don't see how Meri can even spin "Christine's leaving affected me this way..." into a storyline for herself...we all know she spends almost no time with the family. Christine's leaving really doesn't affect Meri's daily life much at all. Meri saved the show at one point with her horrifying life decisions, but she's got nothing going on currently.
