I agree with all of this......until Robyn came along. Robyn coming along shook things up. Meri divorcing Kody to legally marry Robyn shook things up.
I do think Meri is the love of Kody's life. Janelle is a business deal. Christine was a just because thing. Maybe she fit into the whole "have a lot of kids and be a good sister wife" type deal. He was never attracted to her but I think she makes him laugh and is a good friend. Christine is madly in love with Kody though. Robyn is Kody's ego boost. She needs him. He loves that.
Yes! This exactly. Meri was the one who set up Kody and Robyn. I don't think she expected to be jealous of them. But when it turned out that Kody and Robyn fell in love and had a genuine bond it caused issues with Meri at the same time as she was experiencing empty nest syndrome.
