When referencing the cultural harm of polygamy I am meaning the history of polygamy in Utah under sects of the Mormon church, of course poly relationships in general are not all harmful nor do they have the same harmful cultural history and connotations as polygamy within the Mormon church has had. This is a whole different topic of course, but I thought I would make that clarification! Please respect the privacy of the children of the family! (Tho i know most of u will i still want to make the disclaimer) I tried my best to blur most of the children's faces but it was hard at times with 18 children, sorry I wasn't able to do that perfectly : /

I have personal experience as a polyamourous woman in a healthy relationship where me and my partner have lost friends due to misconceptions about our private lives. The assumption being that we couldnt possibly work through insecurities through communication and mutual respect. I have people thinking one of us must be abused in the relationships because there is no positive accurate representation of healthy polyamory

Very true.

All my other 15 cousins are married and have tons and tons of kids. Some of them are very into the mormon thing. We all live here in California and it's really interesting. Our family is just Catholic and Christian, so it was strange when my uncle married someone who was mormon and wanted tons of kids. They had tons of rules. I also remember something about the wedding were some of us couldnt be in the chruch because we werent mormon. Which I thought was horrible. Even my uncle the father couldn't go in this certain church because he wasn't baptized yet. So it's pretty interesting.

This is not giving you freedom. It's simply dividing the workload of the housework which you have no choice but do because it's your only job and place as a woman.

In the opening hearing Kody rang about all the "sacrifices" he made for the first 3 wives. It seems that the wives made all the sacrifices. Instead of dividing his time by 3 after Robyn it was divided by 4. That is until Robyn became his main focus. If Kody and Robyn hadn't ignored Meri after the divorce she wouldn't have been vulnerable to being catfished.

What bothers me is that polygamy is always seen as a man having multiple wives, and never as a woman having multiple husbands. It's not about community or companionship, it's about wanting a harem

@erikaelyse8192

For procreation reasons multiple wives to 1 husband works....the husband can have multiple wives pre%nant at the same time. A woman can only be pregnant by 1 man and a time, and it would be a longer time between each child. I think that's why the Bible talks of the one husband version of polygamy. Women seem more willing to share 1 man(not me, I'm not ok with it) men by nature are territorial, and even though wives are not property...they do feel ownership/responsible over their wives and children.

Check out the difference between polygamy, polyandry, and polyamory. You want to look up polyamory representation, there are a lot of people living that lifestyle ethically and sharing their stories on the internet, it’s everywhere. A woman having multiple husbands is polyandry, not polygamy, and is less common because most societies are patriarchal and view women as property. If you don’t like that polygamy always turns out abusive and unethical, what you REALLY have a problem with is misogyny in society.

@@maddieb.4282 Technically "polygamy" can refer to either multiple wives or multiple husbands. Polygyny is the term solely for multiple wives, like polyandry is for multiple husbands. Polygamy is commonly used synonymously with polygyny because polygyny is the most common form of polygamy, but they are technically different.

Let’s be real. Robin was young and attractive, slim figure and pretty, the other 3 were quite a bit older and the excitement was gone with them. Kody’s courtship of her must have been agonizing for the other wives. She was a shiny new toy for Kody and he was totally smitten with her. Who could withstand that???

All 4 wives gained weight while married to him. They ate their feelings. Meri, Janelle and Christine have all lost weight and look more relaxed.

For many communities like this, they don't have a lot of exposure to how things are outside of their immediate communities (who typically also practice the same dynamics), so they don't realize how bad things are until they get that exposure. That's one of the reasons why cults and abusers isolate their victims. So it's very well possible that seeing how other people reacted to their family opened their eyes to how poorly they were being treated. Polyamory and polygamy can both be dynamics that work very well for people, but clearly this particular family had a lot of serious issues that hurt those involved. I'm glad they broke away and that the children seem to be doing okay.

Polygamy tends to use religion to justify plural marriage and the plural is always the man with multiple wives and usually in financial control. This show likely gave these women a way out because they had followings and fans that likely built them up and made them realize their was another way of life. Otherwise they would have been to indoctrinated and trapped to even think they could have anything else. Polyamory exist in many forms, but the biggest difference is it is about consent and not justified by religion and closed communities. Also either gender can have more then one partner or they all have a shared all inclusive relationship. But there is no 'ok for one gender, not okay for the other.'

I hate how much I relate to the kids. While my parents weren’t polygamous, they were very religious. And seemingly once I started my preteens to teenage years my father stopped making any type of effort despite him being the reason my parents marriage fell apart. He wasn’t just emotionally abusive to my mother, but to me as well. When he found out I was self harming he told me “I think you’re just looking for attention”. When I came out as a trans woman he said “I support you, but you’re making a mistake” and never talked to me again. I had multiple birthdays he forgot to even text me. Even though he’d post right wing propaganda all over Facebook. I could go on, but I think I probably don’t need to. I feel so much for those kids. And I’m happy they’re doing well. But I know days come by where you feel this void inside. And you long for something that you’ll likely never have and hoping that your father will change will only break your heart more. I hope they’ve found more peace with it then I have.

After a while Meri was the only one really still supporting Robyn and her dream, which is why it was so "devastating" for Sobbin Robyn. She was losing the last person supporting her dream, which at this point had gone from being a boutique to being "high-end" jewelry, designed by Robyn.

So I sat on my own in my damp, cold apartment, no Christmas decorations or Christmas dinner, sick and alone - but I'd do it again, a thousand times over, rather than risk giving mum, or dad, or my family, such a potentially fatal illness.

I just found you. I love your knowledgeable, consistent, soft speaking, non repeating style. Looking forward to watching you during this new upcoming series. 😊

Awesome content!! Although Kody wasn't raised in polygamy. His father converted to the faith when Kody was 20. He adopted the polygamy concept at that time

I never watched Sister Wives, but just seeing how happy Christine was in her own environment, living for herself, made me a little emotional.

Robin talking Mary out of going to college is what an abusive / unsupportive husband would do to a wife. She’s just like Cody and that’s why they have the best relationship. Also robin cryibg at the clip when they had to move saying “ this isn’t the America i learned about “ 😂😅😅 ofc it wasn’t

Absolutely, if someone in your life thats important to you (married or otherwise) wants to do something, then you support it. And especially going back to school, thats a GIANT step that someone can take for the better. Robin didn't even have a good excuse like "oh we don't have the money for that", it was just "what are you going to do after that?" which is such an open ended and limitlessly answerable question that there is literally no point in asking.

This is probably why many people prefer the ethical non-monogamy, which is based on full consent and communication from all parties. I did self-care while listening: washing my face and doing my serums, as well as painting my nails!

I listened and you did an excellent job on this documentary. Looking forward to more topics you do. Congratulations!

The audacity of this man to think he can keep the 3 other women tied to him while not providing any benefits of a marriage. He literally sits their admitting there's no romance or intimacy or companionship, but is somehow so shocked they want to move on. Ridiculous little man. Now that I know the producers were pushing an agenda but not being upfront about it, I'm glad it imploded so spectacularly. Another great video!

As someone who had that scoliosis surgery, him not being supportive of it makes me have an unfathomable amount of rage

@Haden Blake when I had the surgery it was very scary, because it can very easily go wrong. However, usually if the curvature of the spine is so bad to where surgery is required, it's usually because without the surgery they'll have worse problems. For example, around a 90⁰ curvature is where you start to have breathing issues and lungs collapse. I was around 82⁰ before my surgery. You can be cautious and apprehensive but you have to remember it's about what's best for your kid, not what makes you comfortable. The pain she was in was probably unreal. Even after surgery, in the winter I still get sporadic spinal pain.

I was working on a video I'm making about Cody. I e just discovered Sister Wives this past month. There's too many seasons to rewatch all the way through and your video here was a huge help with timelining things for me. Great content. Thank you.

i love watching your videos, especially since they always keep my attention on even while doing something on the side. like right now, i did some cleaning up and went to work on my human anatomy drawing for my college art assignment :>

Personally, my theory is that Robin fell in love with Cody and then realized later that he had multiple wives. Compared to the other sister wives she seemed like she wanted to be the only wife. This would show why the other three were a little hesitant, because they were a team. Robin wanted a partnership not a team.

They met in their church, though, and Robyn was introduced to Kody by Meri-his first wife. She met Kody knowing he had multiple wives, and it was in a polygamous setting. She also grew up in a polygamous family and married her first husband with the intent to have sister wives, and when he didn’t take other wives after her like planned, it was an added issue in their marriage.

Oh no in my opinion, Robyn wanted the other wives around, she just wanted to be the main wife. Kinda like an Empress and the lower concubines. From clips I’ve seen it’s always the other wives supporting the family while Kody and Robyn seem to focus on each other.

Unpopular Opinion: I think that the Browns were having problems way before Robin entered the picture. They (and TLC and the Sister Wives producers) were just covering the problems up better. BTW, I think that Cody Brown is a pathetic excuse for a human being. That part of the clip where he says he feels like he's been stabbed in the kidneys really bothered me because in October 2004 I went into a 10 day coma due to kidney failure. When it comes to kidneys Cody Brown has no idea what the hell he's talking about.

Robyn was in her element when she became the legal wife ,I mean who didn't understand this,she's wise when it comes to getting what she wants and she holds all the cards,. If she has to breakup with Kody she can now go after property and cash she knew all along what Ace cards she needs

Imagine starring in a reality show for 17 years, and only being worth $400k. I blame Kody and Robyn for "needing" all their money to pay off Robyn's house and debts.

Actually, Cody didn’t grow up in polygamy. He grew up in the real world. The family didn’t enter polygamy until he was 21 and on his Mormon mission.

1) I appreciate the pinned message, thank you for making the distinction. 2) I was so relieved to hear the kids came out okay. Thank you for covering that. 3) I was playing Powerwash Simulator while watching this one lol

As a polyamorous person, stuff like this is why I struggled for years with non monogamy. It took me a while to realize that there’s a certain type of man who is drawn to poly dynamics because of their ego. He likes having multiple women fighting for his attention. He likes having unprotected sex with them and he likes that he’s had so many children that are biologically related to him, but he doesn’t like the idea of being a good partner. Of actually having a relationship with his kids or being attentive to people he’s been intimate with. I could be wrong but Robyn is the youngest and I’ve seen this happen a lot. He will find someone younger and move on. That’s not really what polyamory is. Having this many kids with this many women makes it impossible for him to be attentive. I’ve seen similar structures work but they never have more than maybe 3 kids with multiple people taking care of them in a way where no one is forgotten. It’s almost impossible to have that many kids and also be a good dad.

@@julianaskwierc8807 Polygamy is usually rooted in religion and justifies a patriarchal structure where ONLY the man is allowed to have a Plural relationship. All the wives 'belong' to the man and it tends to happen in insulated communities and is usually manipulative toward the women specifically. Polyamory can have many forms usually choosen by those involved, rather they are male or female, but basically it usually doesn't rely on a Patriarchal structure, insulated (cult-like) communities, and doesn't justify itself in fringe religious groups the way Polygamy usually does. Sometimes there can be multiple committed partnerships or one committed partnerships with allowances for dating agreed upon by both parties in the primary relationship. But it's flexible to what works for all involved.

Honestly you can see the drastic change Christine takes after she leaves Kody. She looks great and happier for sure.

To admit on live TV standing across the room from your wife that you find her grotesque because she eats nachos is absolutely wild to me.

This man just really loves himself. Not his wives, not his children, just him. It’s so sad that it took that long for the wives to realise this, years and with multiple children later. Things are now crumbling down
