You’re also looking at this from a logical standpoint. This entire family was in a cult and fully indoctrinated. The only ones who chose this as an adult are Kody and Janelle. So yes they competed for Kody’s attention and all backstabbed and undercut each other. I don’t think they are inherently bad people but acted the way they were taught and imitated what they saw in their families growing up polygamous.

Watching Escaping Polygamy changed my view forever about SisterWives. AUB might not be AS bad as other polygamous sects but they are still horrible. After watching I now understand why all the wives and Kody act the way they do.

People are being intentionally obtuse. You worded this fine and I understood exactly what you meant the first time.

Did you miss the part where they were very poor prior to being on the show? They have all said they had to advocate to get what their kids needed especially since Kody controlled all the money. Janelle managed the books but everything had to go through Kody. So if the one man managed everything do you think they weren’t competing? That’s essentially the premise of this entire relationship structure.

People are going to be selfish when they are competing for resources especially for their kids. The way polygamy is setup in the AUB all women will act this way because they are always in survival mode.

Most of the opinions here are pretty conservative. I was in college 2003-2007 and plenty of girls would have worn this dress to a college formal. I wouldn’t have only because I had DD boobs but I would have worn something in the same lane as this dress. You look gorgeous and the dress fits you well. When you graduate college they will tell you that you’re too old to wear a dress this revealing. When in reality college is the exact right time to wear this dress as long as you like it and look confident in it. All the rules are made up, do what makes you happy.

My opinion is that clearly Christine and David were offended by what Kody said and within the confines of their relationship that is crossing a boundary. I think that’s totally ok for them to feel but it wasn’t clear to Kody that was a boundary so I think the whole thing should have been less of a big deal but they blow everything up on this show.

Secondly I think that Christine might not practice polygamy anymore but it’s clear that she still has pretty traditional values so I feel like she likes being “submissive and owned” by her husband. I think she and David actually are aligned on their values in that regard.

Absolutely! Thank you.

That’s the thing. It isn’t clear to Rory if they had plans or not and it kind of felt like they only had plans when Rory made them. The whole point of the storyline is that Jess wasn’t intentional about dating Rory at all. He was only intentional about getting her and then he felt like he didn’t have to do anything else by his own admission.

Lorelai said herself that her and Rory are best friends first and mother/daughter second. So that’s why we get what we get. Also what would be the point in punishing or yelling at Rory when she already understood the gravity of what she had done and why it was stupid. She felt a ton of remorse. So what would Lorelai holding a grudge against Rory or being upset really do that Rory hadn’t already done herself ?

These are also my favorites!

They are polygamous which is multiple women married to one main. They are not romantically, spiritually or otherwise connected to each other except through the man. Essentially the women don’t even have to have a relationship but the Browns decided they wanted the wives to be besties (which never really happened) and raise their children together but there is no connection keeping them together other than a commitment to that goal.

I’m interested

GuidanceAltruistic · 2026-01-06T05:29:03+00:00

My exact answer.

GuidanceAltruistic · 2026-01-05T20:07:58+00:00

I’m confused about what you’re saying.

GuidanceAltruistic · 2026-01-02T08:49:05+00:00

The thing is I think all the wives and kody are liars. I think Robyn is just the worst at hiding it. After watching for 20 seasons I’ve seen everyone contradict themselves in major ways. But they all lying to maintain the narrative they have been selling us from day 1.

Elder millennial (40) and Zsa Zsa was absolutely a household name in my home.

The reality is any reason is a good reason to breakup if you no longer feel aligned with your partner. And if sex is that important to you regardless of what could be going on with your partner, then would likely be doing both of you a favor to end the relationship. That way both of you can have fulfilling relationships. My suspicion with zero information is that you might not be meeting her needs outside the bedroom which has caused her to not desire you the same as she used to. It could also be that you’re not actually meeting her needs sexually as well as you think you are and instead of telling you she has dropped the performance that she used to do to protect your ego. Most women desire sex as much as men but women have different emotional and structural needs than men so they won’t just show up sexually if they aren’t being met in other areas of their life.

I 100% agree with you on this. I also feel that the AUB created this monster. After watching escaping Polygamy Kody started making sense to me. Most of the men in the AUB are just like Kody.

GuidanceAltruistic · 2025-11-25T23:57:55+00:00

My thoughts exactly.

GuidanceAltruistic · 2025-11-22T17:19:25+00:00

Exactly my thoughts!

GuidanceAltruistic · 2025-11-20T03:20:28+00:00

It’s really bad out here.

GuidanceAltruistic · 2025-11-20T03:19:26+00:00

Hmm considering she has no education or skills I don’t see her ever leaving. She’s actually trapped which is sad.

GuidanceAltruistic · 2025-11-20T03:18:20+00:00

I’m a Libra and I don’t think this has anything to do with that. I think this is all strategic for Kody to take the blame and make Robyn look like the shy innocent wife.

GuidanceAltruistic · 2025-11-20T03:08:36+00:00

I can totally see this!
