Wow defensive much! Maybe you shouldn't be on YouTube if you can't handle feedback.you're A bit intense don't you think?
I agree that Janelle did a lot of unhealthy things in the argument. Also it was good that Kodi left. Nothing good was going to come from him staying there, although he could have been more respectful when he left.
Also, are Janelle and her kids anti-vax? It kinda sounds like that’s what they are saying without saying it…
He wants just Robin because she worships him. That is it in a nut shell
We all make mistakes. We are human.
What I need to know is…are ya triggered by the incorrect usage of the word Gaslight? 😆😉
I rarely comment on videos, and I've no idea if you'll see this, but your bugaboo about "gaslighting" actually makes me bonkers! I would really suggest you read writing by authors who've worked with DV survivors (like Dr. Robin Stern). Yes, the idea for the term came from the movie Gaslight, but no, the perpetrator does not have to have conscious intention in order to be gaslighting someone. In fact, usually perpetrators of abuse, like gaslighting, do not have much sense of their intention; as you pointed out, they have a rigid world view that makes them think what they're doing is justifiable, even right in some way. I think you should do some more research and reconsider your position here 🤷🏼♀️
10:56 The “Go Janelle” Dance needs to be included in every video. You should pick one person each episode to cheer on and do the dance! 😂
I just have to say, I’ve only recently discovered your channel and I enjoy all of your videos. At first I thought the several videos per episode was a bit much but after watching a few episodes and the videos I realized that no, they’re not necessary, but definitely useful and I’m glad you post more than one.
Also, I’ve tried watching other watch alongs or recaps and it just isn’t what I want. I don’t need to know what happened, I watched the episode. The part I like is hearing an educated perspective. With your content I feel like I get both: I get the husband watching with his wife but I also get the licensed, educated professional as well. It’s really a good set of companion videos to watch if you’re a SW watcher.
Lastly, I can’t imagine how difficult it would be to get criticism from every viewer, especially when they aren’t familiar with you as a person or your marriage and how you interact. I don’t think I could stay out of the comments myself, which is why I don’t post any videos, so I get what you’re saying. Personally, I like that you react to some comments. Interacting with viewers is a plus for me. I hope it isn’t always the negative comments that get the interaction though; I’m too new to really be able to tell yet.
I’ll wrap up my novel now! I enjoy your videos, definitely don’t stop, don’t change anything because it’s very enjoyable as is. I think you do a great job. I don’t agree with those saying you’re being defensive; if someone has drawn incorrect conclusions based on a tiny window into your life/marriage/interaction with your spouse I see it more as protective than defensive. You’re not just a random recap channel and I think people forget there’s actual professional basis for the opinions you have and not just something you decided to come up with while watching the episode. That makes a huge difference for me. That is what makes your channel so enjoyable for me.
I’m so glad you were able to connect with Meri! I knew I was personally invested when I was so bothered that she misconstrued what was said.
Geeat content and I will definitely continue to watch! 😊
I think Janelle saying STFU was years or being ignored, manipulated, watching the seasons and hearing the terrible thing her "husband" says and her and her children all exploding. You said the keyword, you don't do that in a healthy relationship. They haven't had one of those in years! She's married to a man that wants her world to revolve around him…. choose him over her children and her friendship with Christine but wants to give nothing in return. I feel like he does gaslight her. He's trying to change her reality saying he's always there trying to help, he comes around, and Robyn's a good sister wife to you. He's rewriting history that has been documented over the last decade and his ex wives aren't having it or their children because only Robyn's kids are referred to as "my kids".
I hate the word triggered I swear it's the new word for 2023🙄
Everyone seems to use it as an excuse for someone offending them 😂
They all moved to flagstaff because robins son was going to collage there! They all got their lives. Reacked robin!because
Hi! Just wanted to comment because I’ve watched sister wives since S1, and hearing your breakdown of the different relationships, kids, etc. has been so insightful to me. I’ve always been interested in psychology, and hearing these breakdowns on one of my favorite shows is amazing! Don’t let the bad comments get you down, you and your wife are awesome!
In a fight if it feels good dont say it unless you want to escalate.
From my POV it seems like you have a good relationship with Allison.
Some people are just looking for negativity.
You seem like a nice couple and I see no abusive red flags from you at all.
Thanks for your videos, I really enjoy them. Please don’t let the comments get you to a place where you stop because it’s so beneficial because I think it’s easier to learn about relationship issues through other peoples terrible relationships and that may be the only thing Kody Brown is great at.
It drives me crazy too when people misuse “gaslighting.” P.S. the movie “Gaslight” is fantastic.
Oh, come on. Just go off on them.
That’s so funny that they went after that part. I remember, maybe season 17 where your wife interrupted you and said sorry and kept going. I laughed at that because it’s super relatable. I read your communication as open and honest. It seems you both let each other be real human beings. I’m not sure how else a healthy relationship is supposed to be
The term has not changed, it does not mean something different now. Some terms are used in psychiatric care, just as 'trigger' is used in psychiatric care, and should not have their meanings altered by the TikToc authorities.
There are clearly a lot of people out there that probably haven't been in a normal, long term relationship. Nobody is perfect, and we all have our own quirks in a relationship.
Why on Earth do you care so much? You don't actually have to explain anything. You're making it 12 times worse by even dignifying it with an answer. Interesting.
Triggered….yes! As someone who struggles with real triggers from childhood trauma, the almost casual use of the word triggered does bother me because I think it makes it hard for ppl to truly understand the intensity of triggers fron trauma.
I just saw that video yesterday. It was an awkward moment that all couples have but yours was on YouTube. You were defining the term. She was talking about how she felt. Neither of you were wrong, but you both missed how the other’s point was true and valid but those points weren’t mutually exclusive. She can feel cut off and really really feel dismissed and bothered and you were right in educating people about the meaning of the word triggered verses the common usage.
I do that too. I'll be watching something & correcting their grammar in my head. LOL
I think when Kody was young & trying to do what he was taught by his religion, he married these women then over the year realized it wasn't what it was cracked up to be. Finally found what he thinks is his match in Robyn & consciously or unconsciously is ditching the others.
it's crazy all that went down. i wouldn't think anything of you and your wife's interaction. you two are just a real couple.
I didn’t realize people took that moment between you and your wife so seriously😂 I thought it was funny and cute.
3:33 well you for sure were triggered by the comments and are easily triggered. Maybe you need some therapy for yourself on why you’re so easily triggered or offended over strangers commenting on your marriage. Maybe they’re hitting a nerve…
I know Im late but thought you guys were having fun.
I disagree that Jenelles behavior was “abusive” as you mentioned in the other post. I do agree that it was negative and unproductive. #TeamJenelle
Wow, I can't believe you had to address that interaction with your wife. I rarely comment, and I believe the people who do are super bored. It came off as playful banter to me. Also, how can anyone who watches your channel not see that your wife has a backbone and wouldn't let anyone walk all over her, including her husband. Please don't take people's comments to heart. They don't know you guys.
I finally told my goblin (23yo) that their overuse of the word “triggered” triggers me.
Oh no you are far from Kody. Give my a break people!
