Just sitting thur, too afraid to be within 3 feet of my husband's ex-wife...

I’ve noticed Robyn has started seriously controlling what Kody says. At first she would just “translate” what he feels and means, twisting it to fit her own interests even if it was clearly not how he felt. But it’s now so egregious and it happens in most if not all most recent episodes where they share scenes. I don’t fully know what to make of it. Maybe they talk through how they will handle certain conversations on camera ahead of time and they agree she will keep him on script. I can’t him being okay with this. His ego and his masculinity is so fragile. But he just folds and goes along with. On national tv. What’s your theory about what is going on here??

Examples: - In the conversation about why he wants Christine’s plots of CP, she talks over him and shuts it down “No no no you’re not in the right mindset right now to answer this”. Just short of telling him to shut up.

• In the talkback she says “Do you want to be an engaged father?” two or three times until he says an unequivocal yes then she turns around satisfied “That’s what I thought.”

• In the look back I think, she straight up covers his mouth to stop him from talking. I can’t remember the context but I was shocked. She tried to do it playfully but he wasn’t laughing.

• In the trailer for Christine’s wedding special she interrupts him multiple times when Kody was saying “Christine had made the accusation about me—” and Robyn puts her arm around him, leans in close to his face, and talks over him “Aren’t we so happy for them?” And he says “I’m just trying to tell the whole story—“ and Robyn says again but to the camera “we’re so happy for them”.

Kody and Robyn think we have never watched the show or never seen them out drinking in public.....

Sobyn Robyn back at it again. I think this is where kody starts to fall apart. Once he divorces Meri, he checks out from everyone except Robyn. He was fairly light and fun prior to this season imo.

Who rocked this style best? Robyn for the commitment ceremony or Dwight’s date for the Dinner Party?

I know, this is me being extremely petty. But I just can’t with Robbem’s clothes and shoes. We won’t even talk about the hair. (She was voted the wife who spends the most time on her hair and it sure don’t look like it.) I just keep thinking about her ugly ass old lady shoes. Please no offense to older ladies. I’m almost 50 and would never wear those shoes. I haven’t been able to find a good screen shot of them. But just check them out when her and the two girls are headed to the new church. You just can’t be the pretty trophy wife in those ugly things. Not to mention the slacks and top. Looking like something my Grandma used to wear. Sorry not sorry.

She started from the beginning saying she had pneumonia and her precious son had rsv! So has most of us! Sorry to tell you that you are not special!

Since the beginning Kody & Robyns whole relationship has been an affair. They snuck around on the other wives. Pretended he was equally splitting time, commitment and affection. Robyn constantly complained her kids were mistreated and demanded more. When in reality they got everything. So my question is now that it's over, now that there are no other wives to complain about, no other kids to compare too. Will the excitement end? What will Robyn bitch about next? She got it all. In her eyes. For now lol.

During Covid and when the wives were leaving, I struggled to understand Kody's point of view. Wasn't it obvious that abandoning wives and children for many months on end would lead to the marriages falling apart?

Later, I understood that Kody wanted attention and control, and when he didn't have these things, he couldn't see beyond himself, felt extremely hurt, and in a way, he appeared to stop functioning in reality.

Is this the same case for Robyn? Has she ever shown any empathy for why the wives left? I had put most of the blame of the failed marriages on Kody. I didn't think Robyn was innocent, but I hadn't thought she was a master manipulator...

Something that always bothered me though, was when she said "that's a lie!" when Christine admitted that she was having problems with Kody in Vegas- what a strange thing to say to someone who was telling you their marriage was suffering! It's as if it slipped out by mistake, especially given her tone was very different. I think that may have been one of the only times we have seen Robyn say what she was actually thinking, at least in the most recent seasons.

Did she really think their polygamous family was hunk dory until Christine upended her perfect marriage to Kody for no good reason?? I can't seem to make sense of this. She has claimed she didn't keep track of the schedule i.e. that she was oblivious to any neglect of the wives, etc, but comments like those certainly come across as more of a cover-up. What is actually going on from Robyn's perspective (although clearly not based in reality!)?

Actually, I guess there is proof of Robyn manipulating Meri on screen. Why is she still acting like her hands are so clean? What is going on in this person's head?

Wait a minute. Watching the staged fight, and couldn't help think where was all this generosity of spirit when she wouldn't let Meri host a neutral Christmas Eve and invite everyone? Where was it when Ysabel had surgery and needed her dad, or after when she needed his help recovering? Where was it during the text exchange? Where was it when they got the BnB and she didn't make Kody go over - even to see Savannah? Where was it when she got angry and said everything "they" were doing was a cheap version - "and THOSE kids know it". Where was all this concern? OH, they have been to two events where nobody included them, they were on the sidelines feeling awkward, and gosh she doesn't like being the bad guy. She even said she was worried about going to the wedding because she didn't want Ari & Sol "caught up in it". What does she think is going to happen? Chair throwing, drinks thrown in their face????? She sat there and saw a group of people who used to put up with her nonsense, now not caring, not forcing themselves to make her feel included, really they are living their lives, with their kids, and she isn't a part of it. Her not feeling safe has little to do with what the kids will do, but more how Kody responds!!! So yeah Robyn, why aren't you stepping up and telling your kids the other kids and moms don't hate them??? How are you building bridges? What a fake victim. Oh boo-hoo I was ignored at parties.

She went from young to married to divorced to remarried as a polygamist. That doesn't seem like a lot of space for friends. I think that's something Janelle and Christine were able to foster, maybe Robyn and Meri initially. The way she conducted herself did not foster friendship or kinship and her attitude now feels very, "they don't want to be my friend anymore."

They showed it in the preview, and I cross my fingers so hard with every new episode we’ll finally get to see it 🤣 I just know TLC is going to put some crazy dramatic music over the footage, and we all know she’ll be perfectly okay (even if she pulls a stunt similar to the covid ER visit)!

SPOILER WARNING People who have seen the episode (not released to most of us yet) report the spill wasn’t serious, and, as I would have guessed, R is perfectly fine.

Something tells me Robyn didn’t mean to actually have Kody fall for her like this. I think she wanted to have him in the Robyn whirlwind but not like this. I think she’s stuck with him. Her saying she’s going to “stick” with him didn’t really give me the impression that she was also madly in love with him the way he’s madly in love with her. I think her intentions were to keep him under her spell but only if the other 3 were going to be there to make her look amazing and beautiful. I think she liked the compliments on comparison game. And now that’s gone…. And she’s stuck with a mad man that’s madly in love with her.

I think eventually she will leave him.

Certain scenes give me the vibes that she’s secretly scared of him? Not like fearful but that she’s scared of what he’s becoming by only being with just her and now she’s dug herself into a big messy hole and she’s stuck with him forever. 🤷🏻‍♀️

She doesn’t work correct? She has two kids. And one is like 10 years old. I have never understood this.

This is not just crazy to me too right? that Sobyn is suggesting that the plural husband divorce his first wife/the wife he has a legal marriage with to marry the new wife to adopt her kids, she's saying it like it's some common thing that should happen/happens? there's no way right ? that's insane

Then she has the audacity as usual to play dumb in confessionals and saying she never wanted a legal marriage and basically making it seem like she's a "victim of circumstances" where others shoved the legal marriage onto her to adopt her kids, when Janelle Meri and Christine said she's always been talking about it and it's a plant. Meri even said it's been a discussion for years, all our theories here about how they planted the idea in Meri's head for her to take the first step to do it were all correct!!

Then Sobyn says she feels gaslighted by the family when in reality she's the one gaslighting them by playing dumb. I seriously wish I had the audacity to lie on national television so confidently.

In my view she is almost universally despised although she seemed to have some fans in the early seasons. I assume that basically everyone that watches the show considers her a very toxic person, but am interested if anyone actually likes her now?!

Why was she speaking so slowly and oddly when she was talking about her testimony for plural marriage? On the floor of your bathroom? If she was hiding from the kids, couldn’t she go to the car or something?

EDIT: just to make it clear, I do not know enough about these people to know if they’re alcoholics. I am not suggesting they regularly abuse alcohol.

The most respect I’ve ever had for her is now.

Watching her fight with Kody about abandoning the kids was eye opening.

I forget she’s a victim of him too.

Why am I not surprised that she made something about her once again? Twice she mentioned she’s not going to talk to Christine because she doesn’t want a relationship with her OR HER KIDS. Which I don’t remember Christine saying that. The victim shit is really getting old at this point.

I truly believe that the reason she is so upset is not because she wanted this big loving family...but rather she wanted to hurt the other wives and kids and now it isn't working. She liked that she was the favorite, that her kids came first...she loved hurting the other wives and kids. Now that no one wants him anymore, she's sitting there with no one to hurt, no one to rub it into. And now she's stuck with a shitty, angry man that no one else wants anything to do with. There's no more fighting and arguing and crying... They all just walked away... And nothing pisses off someone like her more than no one wanting what she has!! And NOBODY wants that loser !!! She's crying at Christmas because she can't hurt Mary anymore, she can't rub her family and Mary's face because Mary doesn't give two shits anymore.... She's lost all her power and control and she is spiraling about as hard as Kody! I love this so much for both of them!!

there was no AUB/polygamist community there? Yesterday 12/8/24 episode, mini Robyn’s were asking to go back to church - why grown women in college need their mommy’s permission to go to church is a whole other rabbit hole - anyway, Robyn went on and on about how central attending church and having that religious community was to them. Said she missed it. Understandable, I missed regular church services during COVID, too.

Not that I believe Robyn was very religious until she became sanctimonious legal wife, but anyway…….if church is so essential to your life. WHY DID YOU MOVE TO A CITY WITH NO CHURCH THAT SHARES YOUR BELIEFS.

Yeah I know. Dayton college, Robyn’s dad, kody getting the itch, not being able to pay for the cul de sac, etc. These people are so stupid.

Who do you think told Robyn the kids hate her? She says in the tell all “I had been told by someone the kids hate me”. I mean, using context clues she should have clued in on the fact that the kids hated her but that might be too advanced for her being she needs every single thing spelled out for her all the time. Anyway, my bet is Kody told her because misery loves company or something Mykeltie said was jumbled up in Robyn’s mind and got translated to “everyone hates you!” Side note: Robyn the Drama Llama loves being hated, it’s like air to her and gives her something to complain about.

Theory! Robyn always had a backup dress. I think she wouldn't have trusted a recent grad with no experience.

Her line of "i just happened to have this dress"...nah, she planned it lol.

No shade! I would have bought a backup dress too! Ha!

I knew it way back when I first saw Robyn but this stunt she pulled with the dress absolutely confirmed her intentions with the family.

She was fake to include them in her wedding plans. She wasn’t doing it to be genuine, she was doing it to LOOK and appear trustworthy.

After Kody drops the bomb that he picked out the dress, and Janelle is trying to play it off as funny (I think she means more like ironic) and then Christine basically says no it wasn’t funny Kody you just look like an idiot”.

Robyn butts in and tried to immediately play the victim after she just betrayed the wives. and literally says “it wasn’t funny to me either, it was actually something I had to ask him you know, not to share with anybody, for the sake of protecting both experiences. I didn’t feel it necessary for you guys to know that.”

1. She’s not a wife at this point yet. What business do you have deciding what his WIVES should be privy to know.
2. She’s not a wife yet, WHY are you asking him to hide things from his wives.
3. Whose experiences are you protecting by telling him not to share. How does that protect BOTH experiences? He got his experience whether they know about it or not. What she really meant is, “I can’t play both sides of the field if you tell them. So don’t tell them.” But lost is an idiot and blurted it out anyways.
4. A wedding dress is important but never in any tradition does the groom pick it out, you’re not even supposed to see it before the wedding day or it’s bad luck.

This was one of the biggest and most blatant actions in the beginning that showed he had favorites and she saw herself above his wives and she was t even married to him yet. She knew she had him wrapped around her finger.

Kody said that Robyn had been pushing him to stay with Keri, stating Meri should be the one to make the decision to leave him.

We’ve all seen Robyn beg meri to stay this whole time? Making meri think that if Kody wanted to leave her he would have by now?

Yikes.
