Christine Brown Woolley: Nacho Sister Wife Anymore

I also never bought all that "oh, I love being single; I'm just casually dating," etc. from her.  I think she had Woolley lined up, or at least in her sites (I understand he's from a prominent polygamous family, too, and they may have known of each other), before she even left Kody or else she wouldn't have.  Possibly she dated others to get him to step it up since she seems to be driving the progression of this romance.  Also, she can miss me with that "I had to tell him I was a polygamist" stuff; does he not own a TV?  Christine is so fake!

I never saw my parents do anything except a brief kiss before one went to bed.  The only other time they were the least bit physical when I was around was on a trip sightseeing, when they held hands.  My sister and I couldn't imagine they had ever "done the deed," ever!

Christine is acting like a teenager with her first boyfriend.  I'd be cringing, too.

I agree with this...there is no way he didn't know who she was. At some point it was mentioned that one of his kids had joked "maybe you could date Christine from Sister Wives!" I'm not saying there's something nefarious going on or it's all a big set up or anything...just that David and his family knew she had been in polygamy, and on a show. Why she pretends otherwise is odd, and annoying.

Perhaps I misheard this, but didn't she also say she had to explain polygamy to some of the guys (all EIGHT of them!) that she dated before David? I don't buy that either. I cannot buy that any grown ass man who lives in UTAH hasn't heard of polygamy.

I didn't believe it when Janelle claimed she knew nothing about it in season 1, and I don't believe this now.

I live quite a ways from Utah, but I used to have a co-worker who would go visit her sister in Utah sometimes. Everyone in the office joked about "how many wives" there would be, etc. It's got to be one of the top things people think of when they hear "Utah". They can all stop acting like people have never heard of it.

Yes, "parents are different," but they're not Truly's parents or married or even engaged at this point.  I suppose some think it's okay to have sex in front of the kids, but they would (thankfully) be in the minority.

Then again, maybe they do it ONLY when the cameras are rolling or they're posing for pictures; after all, it's all to show Kody that David finds Christine physically attractive!

I never saw my parents even a little bit affectionate with each other and honestly, I think it messed me up some - or at least, it left me with confusion about how much affection was "normal" between two people who love one another. And yes, definitely there is some activity that should be solely between the husband and wife, but I have no issue at all with children seeing their parents hold hands, hug and kiss (not an extended makeout session). My kid sees me kiss her dad, hug him, hold his hand, have his arm around me when we are watching tv, etc. She may sometimes be embarrassed but she also knows that we love each other and in our house, it's ok to say "I love you" for no reason or to give each other hugs.

Every couple is different in terms of how much PDA they are comfortable expressing in front of other people, including their children. But I think all kids are uncomfortable with their parents being affectionate, especially in the tween years. I've said before and will say again that if I stopped doing everything my kid found embarrassing when she was 12, I would have ceased to exist altogether. She is in her early-20's now and I'd probably be about 1/8th of a person by that same rule.

That is true.  My husband and I have been a little more affectionate in front of our daughter, we say I love you frequently, and we tell her we love her when we talk or see one another, too.  But I still think kissing with tongues, and having foreplay in front of the child or children is in poor taste.  JMO

Everyone keeps saying "parents."  This was a man Christine had known only six weeks.  Not Truly's father and not Christine's husband or even fiancé at that point.  But even if it were Kody...  No tongues!

I said that in response to the comment about the commenters parents, not Christine and David.  My own parents went from fighting to being affectionate.  Parents in general are different.  Mr. lookeyloo is my second husband and my children saw us being affectionate before we were married and they didn't appear scarred.  There were comments about how people kiss on camera.  Some of us have watched the Duggars.  There are comnents about the way Jill and Derick kiss on camera as in "no chemistry", bad kissers, etc.  I am just saying real life is different than what we see curated for the show or people's usually highly curated social media.  In that we can make a statement about our own parents, but generally that does not apply across the board to all or even most or even some parents unless we can document it.  Snarking is fun for what it is, but what we see is what we snark on, I guess.

At two months it's barely maybe made it to the steady, longterm possibly boyfriend stage.  Many people wouldn't even consider that enough time to even meet the kids.   Christine thought she knew and she may have been right, but it was still fast, very fast.  It's the dismissive attitude toward the kids that bothers me.  It comes across as selfish.

There was much less PDA in this week's episode.  Maybe they were overboard in the last episode because they were looking at wedding venues and it made Christine overly romantic? 

Maybe they're reading the room.  There was quite a backlash on social media.  It shouldn't take that for a 52-year-old mother to know better.

The episodes are edited and finalized pretty far in advance. I don't think they had time between last week and this week to edit the episodes in response to social media feedback.

Regarding the PDA issue, I find my position on it very hard to describe.

I'm not a "no PDA" person. I actually think showing affection is great, usually, so I've been thinking about why Christine's PDA sessions bug me a bit.

Part of it for me, I think, is where and how it's coming about.

For one, there's a camera following her. Ten or twenty people around me in a romantic restaurant (who are involved in their own conversations and probably not even looking at me) would feel a lot different to me than if a camera was following me.

Another is the venue they were at. They were looking for a place to hold a large wedding celebration. I've done the same thing, and while looking for venues, the former Mr. Sasha and I were not stopping to kiss, we were serious about asking questions of the person giving us the tour, and seeing if the place would meet our needs. I would imagine we held hands, looked in love, etc, but we didn't need to stop the whole tour to hold each other in an embrace and kiss. We were trying to accomplish a task, we weren't out on a romantic date.

Also it just seemed over the top - a short, affectionate kiss or a pat on the bum wouldn't bother me at all. Standing there gazing into each other's eyes, kissing for a longer period of time than seems normal, munching away with all the tongue action...yeah, that's a no for me.

It all just seems so....performative. It doesn't feel genuine at all to me. It feels more like Christine is trying to "prove" something.

Regarding Truly and her reactions...whatever our own experiences were as kids, none of us had to worry about how many of our peers would see it all on national TV. So take the normal, age appropriate embarrassment of PDA between your mom and this guy you barely know, and multiply it by 100, to account for the cameras.

If anything, I would hope the producers are asking them to dial it back about 100 notches - they probably don't like filming it any more than we like seeing it, lol.

Regarding Truely, I noticed in this last episode that when David came into the house and the adult kids were talking to him, Truely was shown on the couch on the other side of the room, not interacting with anyone.  Is anyone protecting this girl and her feelings?  Christine doesn't seem to be.  We know Kody forgot her name as soon as Christine left - probably way before that, to be honest.  Hopefully her older sisters are taking her out, talking to her, etc.  She's been the lost child literally since the day she was born and I am tired of seeing her being clearly uncomfortable with the swirling vortex of face-mauling between her mother and David.

Wondering how much of Christine/David PDA is encouraged by the producers.  Of course Christine could always say "no it embarrasses my children" but she doesn't.  

The other poster nailed it.  Christine is trying to prove something (namely, to Kody) and is loving every minute of it.  It's so obvious.

I read the question as where would she stay when Christine is on her honeymoon. Certainly not with Kody. 

That's exactly what I meant. When Christine first moved to Utah, the topic of Truely visiting Kody was basically shot down. IRC, he and Robyn said they didn't have a room for her in Robyn's house.

The honeymoon happened "moons" ago.  Maybe one day we will find out where Truely stayed.

They are currently on a "second honeymoon" trip to Spain I believe.  I'd guess that Ysabel or Aspen comes and stays with her when they travel, and maybe one of David's older kids checks on them too.

They're traveling to Europe again, living the good life. Ahhh... Remember when Kody insulted Christine by confidently claiming that whoever hooked up with her would just be after HIS money? Well, it's obvious to everyone that David and Christine are doing just fine without Kody's thousands of dollars.

Two bites at the honeymoon apple?

https://www.imdb.com/news/ni64290086/ This article says they went to Disney.  Does Christine sometimes make it up as she goes?  This isn't the first discrepancy.

She posted about Disney at the time and called it a vacation. 
 

Regarding the trip they’re on now, unless they’re back no clue, she said, “We are finally on our honeymoon!! Yep, a year later, we just decided to take our time and go when we were ready.”.

So a trip immediately after the wedding that was reported as a honeymoon, she calls a vacation and basically an anniversary vacation is a honeymoon. I hate to tell Christine, but words have meanings.  A newlywed vacation is the very definition of honeymoon.  

She also has some trouble with the word "engagement".  Who scouts wedding venues if they haven't discussed marriage. She must think it requires a ring on your finger and a party.

This is a “reality” show. I suspect TLC presented the storyline and she went with it. It’s not like the cameras just happened to catch her on the random day she decided to check out wedding venues with her boyfriend of 2 months. I think this is just as much of a set up as the “family game night” at Kasa Kody a couple episodes ago.

I think Christine is very capable of doing just that. She's just not very mature and seems to have missed out on a lot in life. To me, it feels like a desperate attempt to catch up on that, to live her dreams and to piss off Kody.

I have no interest in the entire Christine/David storyline. They come off like horny teenagers and Christine doesn't appear to care how any of this affects her children. The Christine/David thing is now eating up more than half of every episode. I've started fast-forwarding through it. It's becoming more obvious that they have no show because the original adults don't interact. Even Christine and Janelle are going in separate directions. They are all in completely different geographic locations. 

I think they are feeling us out for a Christine/David spinoff series, and I wouldn't watch it.

Agreed.  I'm happy Christine got the things she missed out on marrying Kody, but I don't need to watch them schmoop at each other all the time.  Time to go live their lives off of TV.

Christine’s enthusiasm is so much better to watch than if she was endlessly sad and depressed about being separated from Kody and not being polygamous. If she was still putting up with getting minutes of Kody’s attention when he happened to remember she was one of his wives it would be horrible.

I think she is a naturally bubbly and optimistic personality. She would probably drive me crazy if I had to live with her I can handle watching her on tv.
