Thank heaven Christine is close by!

I included Tony in my countThree! The little girl and now the twin boys. I'm sure she is happy to have her mom close by!
Well, that’s par for the course IME from my own family. I can’t really answer that question. I’m assuming it’s rhetorical? But *if* active and *if* Christine or Meri went to their bishop and said “my husband isn’t living up to his husbandly duties” they are going to tell HER that SHE needs to do better, that she is the the one failing and once she lives up to HER duties properly he will do better by her. Then the wife complaining about her husband will absolutely get thrown under the bus because the next phone call will be to Kody for “counsel.” I’m so confident in that I’d bet my house on it.Kody and Co. pick and choose what parts of their AUB religion they want to follow. Would elders from any church respond to a family not listed as official members?
I think she is close to Robyn so I don’t feel she has to sever that relationship because her dad plays favorites. A lot of the Brown kids are close to two or more of the moms, so I think it’s mature of Mykelti not to spout off destroying another family dynamic in her life. Most kids don’t want to get in the middle of parents’ marital issues so it takes restraint to try to keep a level head.Mikelti could have said I am not having this conversation with you. But she chose to do it, so shame on her too and sucking up to Robin. The party was a huge mistake & Christine do not want to do it. Sure did get her some screen time.
I still think when Kody tried to pull her into the relationship issues, she should have declined to answer and just said I’m staying out of it. Should have even called him on it and said don’t try to pull me into this, I love both of you and don’t want to be in the middle of it.I think she is close to Robyn so I don’t feel she has to sever that relationship because her dad plays favorites.

I would like to hope that a husband's rejection of his wife, including conjugal intimacy, might be considered legit grounds for divorce by church elders if the woman is being emotionally destroyed in a loveless marriage.
Yes, they could have all been vaccinated by then. Sol and Ari could have masked or stayed home with the nanny.The last episode was taped in August of 2021. They were outside. No need to social distance and not hug. Ridiculous.
This made me think of the Duggars. Josh Duggar is in prison for crimes that I will not go into, but from what I understand their religion would say that it is his wife's fault. If she had been doing her "wifely duties" he wouldn't have committed those crimes. It's insane, but they hold men in higher regard. They blame the women for causing their men to "stumble".nope-and it would be the wife's responsibility to deal with it. the attitude (which is shard by some other groups, including non heavily religious but very patriarchal in nature) is that there can be times when one spouse falls short and the other is wounded and feels pain. when that happens, the one who is wronged should balance current disappointments against the good of the past and the brighter prospects of the future. even going to counseling can be frowned upon b/c it denies the power of faith and goes against the practice of 'don’t treasure up past wrongs, reprocessing them again and again'.
down the line if christine marries, which we know will be her 1st LEGAL marriage, she and her husband will be considered and shunned by some as being adulterers b/c of the eternal promises she made to kody. she is extremely brave on a number of fronts to be taking these steps.
again-this is not just a religious practice, it's a practice within other communities and cultures as well.
Janelle was at Logan’s and I saw something indicating Meri was away.I curious where everyone is for Thanksgiving this year. Inquiring minds want to know...
Right?!?I really wish that when it's time for the Tell All the host would ask the hard hitting questions. I'm sure they won't though. Pull up some social media posts and ask Kody and Robyn to respond!
Like why did you go to the wedding and dance around like a fool but couldn't go to Ysabel's surgery (and don't use the excuse that you couldn't stay gone that long, a few days would have made all the difference)? I still can't get over the way he told Robyn's younger kids to basically stay away from Truely at the farewell, and only he could hug her. If Truely had Covid or something, and Kody hugged her, he could pass it to the favorite wife and children when he comes into contact with them.
Good on her if she did. He is being a jerk. He talks about respect but he doesn't give any to the wives either.My understanding is nothing was ever built at Coyote Pass. Strong rumours that Janelle has left.
