Seeking Sister Wife - Spoilers

[yourmother]

Anyone watching this mess?

Jocelyn dodged a bullet by not being "chosen" by Dimitri and Ashley.  I saw a FB post on Reddit by the last "SW" that didn't work out for this couple. She said that Ashley wanted a sexual partner as well (in a sister wife).  I thought that was interesting.  

It was sad watching The Alldredge Family with Vanessa's health situation.  I actually think these three have such a healthy relationship and are probably what polygamy should look like.  However, I think it's strange that Sharis was the one most hurt by the woman that didn't show up to meet them.  She really, really wants another SW and that's pretty bizarre to me.

The Briney Family is fun to watch the women get catty with each other.  So messy!  Love their drama.  The second SW is hard to listen to.  Her voice is like nails on chalkboard to me.  Aprils is pretty bad too.

[sproctopus]

I was shocked that Dimitri just sat back at lunch and let her sweat. He, by their rules, cheated on his wife and let J take the heat of "not coming clean". It seemed like an incredibly passive-aggressive approach to handling that.


I felt very sad for Vanessa. The husband creeps me out horribly. The wives seem to have a great relationship.

I think the 2nd wife said she has a lisp, but I have a hard time listening to her. It sounds like baby talk? April is so sing-songy smiley in her digs-- like watching Jack in the Shining, there's something crazy behind her eyes, lol. They all hate each other, and I think the husband doesnt handle it well. He seems to acknowledge all the shitty parts of April with the others. Idk, I'm not a polygamist, so dynamics are different. But if my husband discussed with family the parts of my personality he's irritated with, I'd kick him swiftly in the dick. The husband claims to want them to handle these things amongst themselves, but his input seems to create a sidedness.

[yourmother]

sproctopus, How are you?!?!?

I agree with everything you wrote, except I kinda think the Alldrege DH is cute. I have strange taste, I know!
Dimitri do not want to take any real ownership of his mistakeand let Jocelyn out to dry. That was an awkward lunch and I guess he was done with Jocelyn since he already had sex with her.

You’re so right about the Brinly DH. He doesn’t help resolve the issues between the wives. The third wife seems like an odd addition to this household. She didn’t strike me as having the personality to go along with all this. She’s such a catch and I can’t see what her interest in this guy and his baggage is all about.

[blane12]

I’m pathetically invested in this show.

I really did not think that was fair of Dimitri to leave Jocelyn out to dry. I feel like he should’ve at least been like, ‘she knows’. To me, it’s worse that she didn’t work out because he just essentially cheated on his wife. I don’t think they’ll find anyone.

I felt really bad for theAlldredge family. I find him less creepy than the Briney husband who I feel like is a complete creep.

I can’t stand April or Auralee (I think). Poor Angela. She’s probably wishing she had not chosen this family. I’m not sure why they are into the husband. He’s a total creep and is so non confrontational, and just wants all his little wives to get along. Ugh. Their drama does keep it interesting though. I laughed when April said that Angela uses Lenny to get out of things. He’s a newborn!!

100% agree with this ! I can't believe they just let her walk out ... I understand why she was upset they had sex but its on her husband. Every time he talks he makes up more excuses . 

[sarahsays]

Yeah Dmitri leaving Jocelyn on the hook like that was grimy.

I don't know why Angela got herself wrapped up in the Briney's either. Maybe the H thought she could be the peacemaker between the other two.

I recently read that the guy that one of the Brown girl's is engaged to is Vanessa's brother.

[Jalapeñomel]

I haven’t watched yet but I’m posting in here to remember to report back.

[NomadicMama]

Dimitri is a dog. He knew he should not have been intimate with Jocelyn, but he was giddy with excitement about it. It’s a classic case of it’s easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission. And Ashley totally lets him off the hook when she says that this is what she signed up for. Hell no! Plural marriage does not mean your partner gets a hall pass to have sex on a first date after you both agreed to wait. Though, the tidbit about Ashley wanting a polyamorous relationship is much more the vibe that I’m picking up from her.

I am very curious about Melina’s phone call the Sharis. While plural marriage is not for me, this family seems to be managing their relationships the best of the three groups. They all genuinely care for one another, trust and support each other. I hope Vanessa is okay.

The Brinley family is a mess!!!! Angela got to be regretting her decision in a big way!!! April clearly feels Angela should be doing more…but Angela has only Lenny. I was hurt for Angela when she touched the husband, when they were outside, and he reminded her of the no touching rule. Sure, that maybe their life, but he could have reminded her differently.

I have to say, watching this show makes me appreciate how the Brown family conducts themselves. Sure, they have their issues, but they are much less messy by comparison.

[egishere]

I’m so into this show!

Dimitri just wants sex. I don’t like him and Ashley is not wanting to put up with his BS being 10 million months pg. I can totally see her wanting the woman too though.

I like the Aldridge family. They do see the most normal and the wives seem to genuinely love each other.

Ugh the Briney’s are awful! That Angela lady needs to run. I also have no idea what she sees in him or joining the family. April is fake as hell and I agree she seems kinda crazy. I think too now that her kids are older she has no interest in helping with the babies and toddlers. Auralee does have a bad speech impediment. She said in one episode she tells people she’s from Sweden or something. Lol I think she said she grew up in a big poly family so I’m guessing she never got any therapy or help for her speech which is sad. She’s very pretty and seems kinda nice. And WTF goes camping when their back is all messed up?? That was weird!! He is just odd and gross. No idea how he scored three pretty wives!

[cleo29]

Auralee does not just have a lisp, she has an issue with her Rs and it was never addressed when she was a kid. The whole family is a hot mess. I do not think April ever really wanted to be involved with polygamy and maybe went along with it to please her H or keep him? She is like a snake in the grass with the other wives.

I think Dimitri just wants to be able to bone other women and have it be ok with is wife. That is my take away. lol

I hope things go ok for Vanessa. It was sad to watch. That husband does not creep me out in general, though it does when you consider how old he was compared to his wives when he met and married them.

This is what rubbed me the wrong way. He couldn't contain is excitement, it came off like we was approaching it more like a free pass for him to do whatever, and less trying to get to know her as a potential sister wife.

Regarding April, she reminds me too much of Michelle Duggar...that fake sing-songy voice, I'm here to serve my husband.

S/o polygamists I just saw that tonight on A&E there is a new two hour special about Warren Jeffs if anyone is interested!!

Yes!! Omg I don’t know what she sees in him. She is pretty, seems smart....wtf is she with him for? I mean, she’s not legally married to him, she could bounce. I probably would. But then poor Auralee alone with April.

Was it when they were outside or inside the house? If outside, I think it would be to not draw attention to their relationship and tip people off.

Outside while pulling out all the camping equipment. She literally put her hand on his shoulder, leaned down and said, hey can I talk to you inside? He said “just kidding” afterwards, but we know he was serious.

Yeah, I think it is because they don't want people to suspect they are polygamists. Not saying he is not a creepy guy or I see his appeal, but I think that is where this rule comes from and in their case, it is for good reason.

I haven’t watched the episode, but they cannot possibly think they are fooling anyone. Three women living in one house with a bajillion kids and only one male coming and going and they live in Utah? Please, everyone knows.

Edit: never mind, I watched the episode.Which one is Vanessa?


Also, why was it on Joselyn to come clean at dinner? Why all the passive aggressive bullshit? Dimitri was the one being dishonest, and he should’ve come clean to Joselyn and let her know that him and his wife talked about how they had sex. For all we know, Dimitri told Joselyn that his wife was totes cool with sex on the first date.

I read on Reddit that he has written books on polygamy and worked as an attorney for a large plg organization. It seems like the whole hide the other wives story line is just for TV.

I understand why they have the rule in place, but I wish he’d handled it differently. He could have reminded her when they were inside talking. She is clearly struggling with the move to all live in under one roof, he could do a bit more to help her feel more at home.

And I agree—they live in Utah. There are 13 children and three women. They aren’t fooling anyone.

I wanted to kick him. He sat there with a smug face after giving J a side hug🙄. He acted like she owed Him something. What a jerk. I think Ashley let him off the hook way too easily. He is the one who owes everyone an explanation and an apology. They basically told J to leave so she won’t hit traffic.
Drew is spineless and I can’t stand him and April. His third wife should run and fast.

This is a terrible thought, but I wonder if his third wife was so desperate to be married with children that she was willing to pick the low hanging fruit.

I think her "courtship" was really rushed, like only weeks. I can't remember the details now, but I do remember something about how it went very fast, before people could really get to know each other and she was already pregnant and now part of the family.

Yes-- I think they said they were married after 13 days. It's fast by traditional standards, but even more so when 12 children and 2 other wives are involved. Yikes.

[cleo29]

Oh and the Briney man reminds me of the actor William R. Moses, who was on Melorose Place among other things. lol

[cleo29]

April comes off as evil in the episode or always really, but the way she says things and the looks she gives are... a little scary. lol

[joy]

Anyone who is interested - Angela Briney did a podcast interview. You learn a looooot about her and her marriage.
