[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I stopped watching a long time ago but I don't get why Meri even sticks around.  Cody is a jerk to her.   And, a jerk all together.  [/quote]

After watching this past episode I think Meri is sticking around to hurt Kody. She doesn't really GAF about coming or going, but by staying she forces him to be accountable for her and to have to think about her. She is a persistent thorn, irritation, producer of guilt, and by refusing to walk away herself, she exposes the enormous fault lines in the family. [/quote]

Good for her. Kody is not likeable at best and really controlling. I haven’t completely followed but did he separate from Meri when she got caught in the cat fishing. Also I notice that actually Meri is starting to be the pretty one. She looks good and is aging backwards. Robyn looks harsh and not pretty. Christine and Janelle also look pretty good. Maybe abiding Kody is good for your looks![/quote]

I think Meri was catfished because he started to drift away after he married Robyn. I think Meri was having an extremely difficult time around the time Mariah was getting ready to leave (and actually leaving) the nest because it was bringing back all her feelings about being unable to have another baby. Her entire life to that point had been about being a wife and about being a mother. Her status as a wife was declining and she was about to lose her status as a daily mother. And the rest of her sister wives were in entirely different places, Robin was still actively having babies, Christine had very young children (Truely was a baby still really), Janelle had a mess of kids dealing with late childhood/early teenage issues and one actually getting married and starting a family (Janelle is in a situation where she has grandchildren before her own children leave the nest and so will literally never experience what Meri is going through). So Meri is basically having a mid life crisis, her husband is not in love with her anymore, and so she was just very vulnerable to that kind of person.

I think she has found great freedom in basically deciding to exist in the family, refuse to walk away herself, but also refusing to be tied down. She started her businesses, she travels, she is one of the only ones who seems to have a robust friend life outside of the family. But she still chooses everyday to not leave entirely.

I think Janelle just could care less about romance. She's raising her kids, living her life. She doesn't care much where they live it, she doesn't care if Kody really loves her, she is just keepin on keepin on. Christine I think, especially based on the last episode, has had an epiphany watching Aspyn and Mykelti. Seeing them living these authentic lives with men who love them, not dealing with all this bs, not dealing with sister wives or a crap husband or all the things Christine has ALWAYS resented but now has to endure without loving Kody too gave her the resolve to choose that for herself. I feel like COVID (and them growing up and having their own families and lives) has also made a LOT of the kids resent Kody and Robyn and have insight and opinions into Kody and Robyn that may have not existed or been verbalized in the past. Really fascinating to see the kids feelings leak into the show like they have this season. Ysabel and Kody I don't think will ever be the same. Can you imagine not hugging your child before life altering surgery? I would hug my child before surgery if they had Ebola!

Kody loves Robyn, Robyn loves Kody. I think Robyn actually truly does love the whole family. But at the end of the day, they are the two people who are in love. Kody and Meri have such a hard time because they used to be in love like that. Janelle doesn't care because hey were never in love like that. Christine is angry and perpetually hurt because she thought they had love like that but realizes she was mistaken.

Such a fascinating show! I wonder if they will keep going with Christine gone, I kind of hope she gets a spinoff!
