Sister Wives

[Kitty 34]

Has anyone read Christine's book? It is fascinating. She goes in to so much more detail than the show.

No I haven't but perfect I need a book to get me thru January!!

I think Kody's version of loyalty is very different than most. It makes me cringe everytime he says it.

I have Christine's book on my Kindle wish list. I'm hoping it drops in price at one point (or gets included on Kindle Unlimited) but I am tempted to just purchase it.

I use Libby and listened to the audiobook for free with my library card.

Yes. I've watched the 1st one. My big question for this season is, why is Kody all of a sudden wearing rather large Crosses all the time

I've surmised from watching Sister Wives and Seeking Sister Wife that a plural marriage or polyamory model works only under very specific and unique circumstances. Considering how many monogamous marriages end in divorce, it's not at all surprising that relationships involving multiple partners would eventually crumble. One person has to work diligently and consistently to meet the emotional needs of one person, let alone two, three or four. Eventually, someone will end up feeling like they're not getting equal time, equal amounts of love and attention, equal value, etc. They show that one family on Sister Wives where it seems to work. I think the difference is that they all live in one house and the wives are totally on the same page, truly like and support each other and work together to make things work. It also seems like the husband is willing to change and bend to different circumstances and listen to his wives, rather than act like an authoritarian narcissist who says "it's my way or the highway." Kody was never the right person to take on more than one wife or have 18 kids. He's just not capable of giving that much of himself.

last night's was just a bicker fest. dh and I were like 'just call out the forensic accountants already!'. there was obviously allot of co-mingling of monies and creative financing/designations of ownership and it's coming back to bite some of them in the butt. I'm guessing some of it was practical but wouldn't be surprised if part of it was due to sheltering some of the monies they had from all the bankruptcies over the years (I believe at last count all 4 wives have filed at least once and kody has been listed on 2).

I noticed that too. he said a season or two ago that he had lost his faith with everything going on but it's odd that he's now making what seems to be a pretty public display of christinanity-though not in line with the practices of his former church(s) b/c neither LDS nor it's fundamental offshoots are in the habit of wearing or displaying the cross.

Maybe since Aurora and Breana got more active in their new church?

 

[mom2rtk]

So Meri was supposed to give Kody half of her home equity per the divorce decree (she even said she agreed with that).

Did it never occur to her that she should also get half of all HIS equity in the other homes?

What kind of nonsense is it that either it didn't occur to her or that she signed a one way contract where only she would have to pay him?

And remember. She wasn't getting a divorce to go be with someone else. But Kody was.

I did have that thought too. Also since Meri and Jenelle got released by the church he might be freaking out a bit, he proably thought that wouldn't happen.

Meri said last night kody's name was on the Vegas house-i don't remember it that way (if I recall, all the wives owned them individually w/o his name) but it would'nt make a difference b/c she bought it during their legal marriage so he was entitled to 50% in the divorce (she should have had him waive it). it sounds like when he/Robyn bought their former house meri believed she was 'loaning' the proceeds from her Vegas house but for the purposes of k/r securing a loan she delared in writing that she was 'gifting' the money (common in real estate but usually it's a parent to child deal). now k-manchild is sticking to the letter of the law and say 'it was a gift, no take-backsies'.

Kody did'nt have his name on the other's wives Vegas homes so he had no legal equity/Meri had nothing to go after.

I didn't understand why it was a problem for Kody to say that he had loved Christine.

Even if you're divorced why was that such a big deal.

They had 20 plus years together and several children. I'd hope there would have been love in the marriage at some point.

I didn't get the big deal over that either. I also was put off by David coming close to saying (but he caught himself and kind of self corrected) that he wouldnt have 'let' Christine meet with Kody unless he was there.

in general I detest the whole 'bro code'/'girl code' concept-sexism on both sides of the table.

That came across to me as Christine trying way too hard to show that she has moved on from Kody and has a great husband who is is much better than he was. I thought it was a ridiculous stance to take. You were together for decades and have 6 children.

 

[Mizzoufan]

Im so annoyed. They aren't streaming the tell all shows.

 

[mi*vida*loca]

I'm caught up on the show. I didn't think Kody saying he used to love her and only said he didn't out of anger was a big deal. But when Kody said on the couch alone that "even if I told her I loved her now it shouldn't be a big deal" I felt maybe they picked up on something when they met with him. Him also saying he just wants to release Christine so she can live a happy life.....what is he on? She's married, she sees all of her kids and grandkids, she is fulfilled. He's so ego driven and narcissistic that he feels he still has a hold on her (and all the ex's) life. He feels he has that much weight on her day to day life.

Also Robyn......man she gets VERY flustered when she is called out on things. Maddie's IG story saying Robyn is a master manipulator and everything that comes out of her mouth is a lie is really showing.
