Just picturing the temper tantrum Kody must be throwing makes me happy.

i doubt he's throwing a tantrum. i think it's quite the opposite-he said that she was leaving him to get herself another man. i suspect he feels vindicated.

p.s. i still think she's moving too fast

So apparently Christine is engaged. I hope she knows what she’s doing. And I hope she’s happy. She deserves that after so many years of settling for scraps.

With the way the show was filmed and aired, I’m fuzzy on the timeline. How long has she known the new man? I hope being out of the public eye for a period of time has been healing and if I were them, I’d fight to never be in it again.

they started dating in december 2022 so 4 months.

i anticipate a BIG wedding special resplendent with browns/spouses/grand kids/tacos.......and no kody/robyn/etc. (though he could do voice over commentary ).

maybe they could have it at meri's b&b

I'm sure he feels vindicated. But I think he's also throwing a temper tantrum. He's way too immature not to.

And I agree she's moving too fast. The podcasters I listen to claim to have an inside source and say she was actually already engaged when she announced the relationship on Valentine's Day.

Well, one of those photos they released had film crew in the background, so I don't think that's the route they are taking. I'm sure the money is just too enticing.

And I'm a little fuzzy on the timeline as well. I don't think they've said. I still think it's possible he might have been part of the reason she finally got the gumption to leave.

I agree, way too fast. Hopefully they will have a long engagement. Overall it is not my life so I just hope he is good to her and they are happy in the long run...

why too fast? I have been married 34 years got engaged after 6 weeks and married a year later. She has basicallyshe lived the life of a single parent with "sisters or Aunts" who helped and she helped them. She wants companionship and love

I find these comments that "its too fast" silly. You don't know the people IRL. You have no idea what their relationship is like.

None of us knows any of these people. I just don't see what the rush is. Nobody is saying she shouldn't spent time with him or even move in with him. I just think some caution is warranted, especially after coming out of such a long term nontraditional relationship.

Would you recommend to one of your kids that they get engaged after such a short time?

This is also complicated by the fact that she's on a reality TV show. Maybe he won't be a fan of that after he experiences it for a while.

That said, I hope they are happy. She certainly deserves it after all this time settling for part of a relationship.

Thing is we really don't know how long they have been together. They fudge things.

She's on a reality TV show. It's all fudge!

My parents got engaged after 11 days and celebrated 50 years in January. Sometimes when you know, you know.

I have had 1 wife for 27 years and as much as I love her and enjoy her company, I would say shoot me if I ever thought I'd want to put up with more than 1. She would say the same about me by the way.

At this point in her life, I think Christine knows who she is and what she wants. She's been there/done that with a bad marriage and has likely been thinking about her ideal relationship for many years. She had the strength to get out of a life that was weighing her down. I doubt she would grab the first guy who came along if he wasn't what she was looking for. I think she knows what she's doing and she'll be just fine.

True, or at least it can be, but as @mom2rtk asked upthread: would you recommend it to your daughter or a close friend? I wouldn't, but then again, I've always been the cautious type and see absolutely no need to rush in a situation like this.

The way I look at it is that it takes longer to get to know a person. Christine has been on TV and he could be doing all of this for the fame or the paycheck so I would personally take more time. But as I said it is her life and I hope it works out for the best. For me personally, I wouldn't get engaged this fast or if I did I would have a really long engagement period. YMMV

That’s a really good question. At her age, 22, no, I probably wouldn’t. At their age, late 20s for mom and 30 for dad? Sure.

I think it also depends on personality as well. They have both been travelling the world for some time which definitely makes you grow up enough to take care of yourself. My daughter has travelled a bit, but not like that.

i don't think she really does.

she was raised a child of 'polygamy royalty' and upon high school graduation set her sights on kody, ultimately soon moving into a polygamist marriage. this marriage had it's own natural ups and downs which was ultimately impacted by being on a reality show and overexposure through social media. christine chose to separate from kody but it was by her own admission largely impacted by watching/being given "support" (read -social media feedback) on her marriage/kody's (mis)treatment of their children on the show's episodes.

i honestly do not believe that christine knows chrisine beyond her worth/impact on a man. she found her initial value as a wife, subsequent value as the one wife who would break away, and within short time the woman who (publicly) claims that within less than 4 months of meeting someone is finally, ultimately.... complete by virtue of that MAN.

Anyone think this is a slight at Kody with the nacho comment? I hope the best for them, but it makes me raise my eyebrow. It seens this must be intentional which then makes me feel she really hasn't moved on.

I also just have to say the whole "my queen, my king" stuff is just .
