00:00Previously on Sister Wives.
00:02David and I live apart, and I'm done with that.
00:05So we're going to live together, and we're
00:07going to go house shopping.
00:08This is gorgeous.
00:09This is not culturally done in the polygamist world.
00:12Live together before you're married.
00:13We're living sin.
00:15Oh, gosh.
00:17I need to make sure there's a physical attraction there,
00:20and that there's going to be intimacy in our relationship.
00:23So I'm going to go talk to Mary.
00:24I haven't seen her for a very long time.
00:26Hey.
00:27Hi.
00:28Come on in.
00:29It's been a minute.
00:30This is awkward, and I don't think she's happy to see me.
00:32I came because we have this property.
00:36I'm going to suggest to you that you
00:37protect your interest in it.
00:39Don't you think that we have each other's
00:41backs as far as that goes?
00:42No, I really don't.
00:45Gwendolyn and Bea are getting married.
00:48And we've come to Flagstaff to celebrate both of them.
00:51So cute.
00:51They're throwing her an engagement party,
00:54and Cody and I have been invited.
00:56I think we're meeting Christine's new boyfriend.
00:59It adds another level of complication.
01:01We're going to be right there on each other's faces.
01:03There's no avoiding conversations.
01:05I can't imagine that for me and Rob,
01:08and this is going to be a pleasant experience at all.
01:10How's it going?
01:11It's good.
01:12So Bea, how are you?
01:13Unfortunately, the party became more
01:15about David and my dad meeting.
01:16They saw us, and then all of a sudden, it was like, OK,
01:18this is the time.
01:19This is the time to introduce.
01:21Hey, David.
01:22Why don't you come over here?
01:23Wait a minute.
01:26How's it going?
01:27My boyfriend, David.
01:28David, Cody.
01:29Nice to meet you.
01:30David, Cody.
01:30Robin, David.
01:31Nice to meet you.
01:33It is hard for me to say Christine's boyfriend.
01:37It is hard for me to say Christine's boyfriend.
01:40It is hard for me to say Christine's boyfriend.
01:43It is hard for me to say Christine's boyfriend.
01:46It is hard for me to say Christine's boyfriend.
01:49It is hard for me to say Christine's boyfriend.
01:52It is hard for me to say Christine's boyfriend.
01:55It is hard for me to say Christine's boyfriend.
01:58It is hard for me to say Christine's boyfriend.
02:01It is hard for me to say Christine's boyfriend.
02:04It is hard for me to say Christine's boyfriend.
02:06It is hard for me to say Christine's boyfriend.
02:13It is hard for me to say Christine's boyfriend.
02:14Give me a kiss, kiss.
02:16I definitely locked the door.
02:17Do you want to go open that for me?
02:18Yes.
02:20Am I allowed to go open it?
02:21Yes!
02:22Well, somebody's got to open it.
02:23Yes!
02:25Hey.
02:26Hey.
02:27Hi, baby.
02:30What's up, Torma?
02:31Hi, David.
02:32I brought you a book.
02:34I brought you a book to read.
02:37Should we read a book together?
02:39Yeah?
02:40McKelvie and Tony wanted to go out on a date,
02:42and they don't get a lot of dates.
02:44And so they asked me if I would come over and babysit.
02:46And I'm like, well, do you care if David comes too?
02:48And McKelvie's like, no, no, no, no.
02:50What I was hoping is that David would come babysit
02:52and you would come too.
02:54Oh, that is so cool.
02:55The Mouse and the Bride.
02:57The Mouse Bride.
02:58OK, The Mouse Bride.
02:59It's the cutest book you've ever read.
03:00David loves kids.
03:01David loves being a grandpa.
03:03That's one of the things I love most about David
03:05is he's such, he's just a sexy grandpa.
03:08Oh.
03:08Oh.
03:09Oh.
03:10Oh, look at that.
03:12Look at the doggy.
03:13We just got back from Flagstaff going to Gwendolyn's
03:16engagement party.
03:17It was such a beautiful thing, and Gwendolyn
03:19did such a good job throwing this amazing party.
03:22And then David and Cody met.
03:25And it was honestly fine.
03:27I was out of control, stressed out about all of it.
03:30He was just mostly concerned about me
03:32and that I was losing my mind.
03:33He was excited to meet Cody.
03:35He's like, heck yeah, I want to meet him.
03:37That sounds great.
03:38The babies and not the toys.
03:39Oh, my gosh.
03:41Are these the boys?
03:43Oh, no.
03:44What happened?
03:46Ace is crying.
03:47But when it came down to it, David and Cody
03:50were chill with each other.
03:51They're both going to be gentlemen.
03:53They just will.
03:54Are you guys excited to go on a date?
03:55Yes, we're very excited.
03:56Nice.
03:57We're excited to have a break.
03:59Nice, we're excited to babysit for you.
04:00Yes, we are.
04:01Thanks.
04:02No.
04:03No.
04:03No.
04:04No.
04:05No.
04:06Good work, David.
04:09No, you calm down.
04:11Being a grandma's the bomb.
04:12The kids are really fantastic.
04:14And being able to go play and then go home again
04:17is always lovely.
04:18We're going to read a book.
04:19All right.
04:20Show me.
04:21We're peacing out then.
04:22Yeah, peace out.
04:22You're good.
04:23When did they eat last?
04:24So they basically just barely woke up from a nap.
04:27I changed both of them before they went down.
04:28And I fed them both before they went down.
04:31Bottles and formula are on the counter.
04:32It's a two to one ratio.
04:34McKelty and Maddie are amazing moms.
04:37They just figure things out quickly.
04:40And then there's not a lot of stress
04:41involved with their parenting.
04:42Say bye, dad.
04:45Oh, nice.
04:45Say bye, mom.
04:46Thanks for the kiss.
04:48OK, cool.
04:49Got it.
04:50Bye, love you.
04:51Have fun.
04:51Bye, I love you.
04:52Make your choices.
04:53Remember who you are.
04:54It's really cool just to be involved in my kids' lives
04:56when they're having kids.
04:58They actually cleaned their house.
05:00Oh, my gosh.
05:02I can't believe you said that.
05:07I met David like five months ago.
05:10Met him only online.
05:12Our first date was three months ago.
05:15From meeting the first time to house hunting
05:19was like two months.
05:21Talked about getting married five weeks
05:24after meeting for the first time in person.
05:28When you know, you know.
05:40And our next project.
05:43I'm so excited we're starting another one.
05:45Oh, my gosh, guys.
05:46This is so much fun.
05:47Blair and Jenn are over here today.
05:49And we are going to be doing some painting.
05:52Since I'm going to be moving in here,
05:54I'm just wanting to spruce it up a little bit.
05:57OK.
05:59We have to tape if we don't want to ruin the carpet.
06:02Wait, you're going to keep this carpet?
06:04I was thinking just from rugs down.
06:06No?
06:06You don't want to just paint the carpet?
06:08We can paint.
06:09Listen, I went through a moment of wanting
06:13to paint the carpet.
06:15Jenn is my very best friend.
06:18And we laugh a lot.
06:20Haven't you ever heard of painting
06:21carpet and painting tile?
06:23I literally was like.
06:24Painting tile is very different than painting carpet.
06:28It would be crusty.
06:28It would be like a massage on your feet.
06:31So Blair is one of my really good friends.
06:33He and his husband live up in Oregon.
06:35He's the one who actually did the redesign
06:38of my carriage house.
06:40You could just do a little cubby box,
06:41like six or four cubbies.
06:43Oh, you know what?
06:44No, I just changed my mind, Blair.
06:46This is what we're going to do.
06:47This is a closet.
06:47No, this is what we're going to do.
06:49This is a closet.
06:50I'm going to put a single bed right there for me.
06:54Done.
06:55That works.
06:56I mean, that.
06:58I mean.
06:59It would be really cozy.
07:01And it's not like you're sharing a bed with anybody.
07:06For all intents and purposes,
07:07for nearly the past decade,
07:09I've basically lived a single life.
07:12I don't remember the last time I got to a location
07:16where somebody checked in on me and was like,
07:17hey, did you get there safe?
07:19And that's really sad for me.
07:20I look forward to the time when
07:25I fly somewhere and someone checks in and says,
07:28hey, you okay to get there?
07:31Or stands at the airport and waits for me.
07:35It's going to be a weird thing.
07:38It's going to be a weird thing,
07:39but I look forward to that happening again.
07:41Oh no.
07:47But they just woke up, right?
07:49You're so little.
07:49Don't worry, you're sweat.
07:50Hey, it's okay.
07:55When the kids were younger,
07:56I was home more than anybody else.
07:57Everybody, you know, pitched in and stuff.
07:59Janelle worked full-time.
08:01Cody was gone during the week.
08:02All right, guys.
08:05Should we eat cake?
08:07Who wants a paw?
08:08Me have.
08:09Hold hands.
08:09Ask to hold Logan's hands.
08:12Come here.
08:13Wrong way, wrong way.
08:14Don't play with the girls, Sparky.
08:16This is boring.
08:20Bye.
08:22There were five in diapers at one point
08:25and it was just like constantly changing diapers,
08:27constantly feeding.
08:28But everything was systematic.
08:29I'm really good at routines.
08:31We would have breakfast at the same time every day.
08:33What's he eating?
08:36What's he eating?
08:37Smile, smile, smile.
08:43Mom, I want some more.
08:45And then we would wash up and we would change diapers.
08:47And then we would have like play time
08:49that was a designated time.
08:50And there would be snack time.
08:51It was almost like a preschool.
08:53I just had it working.
08:55And it was great.
08:56It was fun.
08:57We also had a lot of fun.
08:58So Gwendolyn and Gabe were our closest that were together.
09:01They were only like four days apart.
09:03And so basically I've had twins with Gwen and Gabe.
09:06And at the end of the day, Gabe would go home
09:08and I would just have Gwendolyn.
09:10And it was so much easier at that point.
09:12But I remember people being like,
09:14you basically had twins.
09:15You're so lucky.
09:15And how was that?
09:17I'm like, hard.
09:18It was really, really, really hard.
09:20I got nothing done for years of my life, years.
09:23We used to joke that Gwen and Gabe were our twins
09:25because they were really born only four days apart.
09:28And I went back to work.
09:30So Christine probably did feel like she had twins at home.
09:34It would have been a lot of work
09:35because she had all the other children
09:36and then these two brand new babies.
09:38Yeah, when Gabe and Gwen were both born,
09:40I knew that I was going to be taking some time off of work
09:44because I needed to be able to take care of the kids
09:48while Janelle and Christine were both
09:51healing from a childbirth.
09:54And I didn't know how to ask for that time off.
09:56We were keeping our lives and our family
09:59very, very secret at the time.
10:00And so I hadn't told my employers about our family.
10:05I just was being super vague about,
10:08oh, I'm going to have to take some time off at some point,
10:11but I don't know when.
10:12Like, it probably made me look like an idiot.
10:15It's very challenging for a plural family
10:17to try to stay on the down low
10:20because often they end up pregnant.
10:22And in our case, like two of them at the same time,
10:25how can we like really stay on the down low
10:29in a small town, Wyoming?
10:31So we're gonna go see our house two o'clock on Thursday.
10:33Two o'clock, do a walk through with them?
10:36Yeah.
10:36I get to pick it apart?
10:38Yes, you get to pick it apart.
10:39Oh, yeah.
10:41We already bought a house.
10:41It's a beautiful home, beautiful brand new home,
10:44not a fixer upper,
10:46and it's everything that we were looking for.
10:48We went shopping for houses like three times.
10:50Some of them we got walked in,
10:52and we were like, no, this is not gonna work,
10:53that kind of a thing.
10:54And then we found the one that we wanted and bought it.
10:57And it's like 10 minutes, 15 minutes away
10:59from McKelvey's house.
11:01And then it's like 15 minutes away
11:02from David's daughter, Ray's house.
11:04So we're just right by all of our grandkids.
11:06It's just an absolutely wonderful setup.
11:09I'm excited.
11:10I'm excited to have our kids be able to play in the backyard.
11:13Oh, yeah.
11:13Oh, yeah.
11:14And get a hot tub.
11:15That needs to be the first thing.
11:16I've been checking those out.
11:17Have you already been checking out hot tubs?
11:19What the heck?
11:21I love that.
11:23You really don't do anything halfway, babe.
11:24I already have this game to lay out the whole backyard.
11:28Of course, you have your approval,
11:30but it's already in my head.
11:31So if I suggest something to David,
11:33I wanna do this, he gets it done.
11:35It's immediate.
11:36My house in Flagstaff,
11:38I wanted to do all of these things in the backyard,
11:40but I never did anything.
11:42Cody talked about stuff,
11:44talked about it, but never really did it.
11:46So this is just very different.
11:48If I mention anything to David, it happens.
11:52This is fun.
11:54Let's do this for the rest of our lives.
11:56Yes.
11:57Oh my gosh.
11:58I'm not moving slow with David.
12:00And he's not either.
12:01We're done, we're up for each other, so why wait?
12:04There's no, I'm not going to wait.
12:06He's exactly what I want.
12:07He's exactly what I've been waiting for.
12:09And it's the same thing for him.
12:10We're on the same page with all of it.
12:12So it's just time for the next chapter of my life to start.
12:16And I'm just excited.
12:17Right now, I'm not wanting to date
12:19because I've been single for like a month.
12:22Or 10 years.
12:23Oh, or 10 years, that's true.
12:25Depends.
12:27You look at it.
12:41You have more furniture than space when you move here.
12:44What's your question?
12:45move here. What's your plan Stan? My sister Rebecca came a little bit ago and
12:52took a bunch of my furniture. How did Cody feel about that? Like does he know
12:56that you like just emptied the house out? It doesn't matter what Cody feels about
13:03that. Okay. We are divorced. I heard. It was actually kind of funny he comes in and he's
13:11like aren't you keeping it for nostalgia? Like nostalgia for what? Now I do have
13:17nostalgia with the furniture that was my grandmother's but not for furniture from
13:21a broken marriage. He says things like that and it makes me wonder maybe he's
13:26still dealing with the emotions of it but he has wanted this to be done for so
13:32long. It confuses me because it also feels like that he hasn't quite embraced
13:39it yet. Does he know that you're moving into Parolin? I talked to Cody and Robin
13:45a couple of months ago. We're out on the property and we're talking and I was
13:48telling him that I was going to be not renewing my lease which is due in the
13:54summertime. Does it matter that he knows? It doesn't matter that he knows. I don't
13:58see any point to tell Cody anything. We're not married. He doesn't need to
14:02know. I think especially since we moved to Flagstaff for me have been really
14:10confusing years. When we left Vegas you know when we were preparing to leave he
14:16would say things to me like this is gonna be great for us. This will be a new
14:20chance at our relationship and we can put everything behind us and we'll just
14:24start new and then we got to Flagstaff and he seemed very involved. All right
14:31Mary are you ready to give us a tour? Yes. All right everybody excited? He actually
14:36helped me find you know a couple of the rentals. Like our very first anniversary
14:41there in Flagstaff we went to the Grand Canyon. We took some pictures. We had a
14:45lot of fun. We had some beverages and he's like cheers to a new beginning. Like
14:53you said cheers to a new beginning. I'm like okay awesome this is awesome. He was
14:57involved and he was interested and then he would stay away for a really long
15:01time. I wouldn't hear from him. He would never call. There's just a lot of things
15:06that he says and does that have been really really confusing to me over the
15:11years which also is why I stayed with him for so long. Even more recently in the
15:17last couple of years where Cody would talk to me almost like he needed to vent.
15:24I thought for a while with him talking to me and having those conversations and
15:29being open to me that it was kind of maybe opening doors to okay we can have
15:37other conversations. We can you know start working on things. That's how it
15:40felt to me. Mary and I were trying to work the relationship out. I completely
15:45got over the catfishing thing with Mary and now I'm just trying to be curious.
15:49We're just gonna figure this out. What ended up happening is it's just never a
15:53fertile bed for love to grow. We were not even like a dating couple. We were like a
15:59completely estranged couple that were separated and on the brink of divorce
16:03for eight years. Mary and I would travel together and we would hang out but we
16:09were still not functioning as a married couple. We were making the drive together.
16:13I don't think we slept in the same bed for eight years. I think we'd go to a
16:17hotel and sleep in different beds. Cody told me at one of our conversations,
16:24Mary I decided this two years ago. Decided what? That he wasn't gonna move
16:31forward with fixing our marriage relationship. I just I just don't think
16:37that that was fair. I don't think that was fair to me. You know if he really was
16:43having these feelings that he really really was done, it would have been cool
16:51if he would have just talked to me about it instead of the mixed messages that I
16:57kept getting. I mean I think that's called leading you on. No? I mean it could easily be called that.
17:06That is definitely a term that we use. I was honestly shocked when he told me like it's like yeah no I
17:12decided like two years ago. I'm like did he just forget to mention that? You didn't
17:15want to like email me or text me and let me know that. I mean it's. And you didn't stop loving him.
17:23He asked me over the years to do a lot of things to be able to start. He's like
17:28okay you do this and then we can work on a relationship. He he asked me for some
17:33specific things. He had this list of things that he wanted me to do in order
17:37for us to work on our marriage and once I completed that list he was done. I
17:44recognize now that he was like there's nothing else I can ask. There's no
17:50there's no other thing that I can use as an excuse of why I'm not working on
17:55this marriage with her because I had done everything that he asked of me.
18:00If the right guy like delivers a UPS package to my house should I be like hey
18:04what's your name and are you married? Right now I'm not wanting to date
18:08because this is I've been single for like a month. Or 10 years. Oh or 10 years.
18:14That's true. Are we looking for facial hair? Like you know I need to know like.
18:24I'm gonna have to put some thought into this. It's not something that I have
18:28had to think of since I was 19 years old.
18:37Dang. It's nice huh? Yeah it's really nice. We love it. David and I are moving in
18:44together. We're moving in together. Oh my gosh we only met a couple of we only met
18:49a couple of months ago. I'm gonna be moving in a couple of weeks. This will be
18:54good for Mary. But I never tell Mary what's going on in my heart anymore. It's
18:58not actually safe.
19:15David and I are moving in together. We're moving in together. Oh my gosh we only
19:19met a couple of we only met a couple of months ago. Dang. It's nice huh? Yeah it's
19:27really nice. We love it. So this is the first time I'm seeing it. I haven't seen it
19:30before and it's massive and really beautiful. Okay. Office. Wow.
19:37My new David's office. Should I take off my shoes? No no you're fine because we're
19:41gonna be moving. What a great office. I know look at the view. Look at this massive window. I know.
19:47Maddie's baby was born. Christine came out a few days after and she told us then that she and David were
19:52buying a house and I thought it was great. Dang look at your kitchen. I know. Holy crap that's incredible.
19:58That is so pretty. Christine definitely has embraced a lot of different lifestyle
20:04and my kids are always commenting on it. Christine when they were growing up was
20:08so religious and so straight-laced. My son Garrison remembers being sent to his
20:12room for the whole evening because he used the f-word and the kids coming and
20:16sliding the food to him like he was in prison or something. Christine was
20:20very straight-laced and now all of a sudden you know she's got a tattoo and she's
20:24moving in with her boyfriend. Our first date was a little over three months ago.
20:31Oh my gosh I cannot tell you the amount of crap that I've had from McKelty and Tony
20:36about this because I was like nah you can't get married. You haven't known each
20:40other for a year because they got engaged super super fast. I thought I
20:43didn't know they were friends and I didn't know they were boyfriend-girlfriend
20:46and then suddenly they were engaged and I'm like wait a minute you couldn't wait.
20:50You alright with this? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I'm happy for you. This is exciting. Is it weird? It's a little odd.
20:57Yeah. Yeah. What part's odd? Everything. Really? Yeah. But you're moving at your own pace which is
21:04beautiful. The odd thing for you is that the speed of it. Yeah. Oh okay. My mom and
21:10Dave moving in together is another massive step that they're making.
21:14Throughout the relationship this has been like a common thing. Like they're
21:16going extremely fast. There's not enough time to like consider like anything that
21:22could go wrong. I know that Isabel is struggling with us moving in together. I
21:25know she thinks it's too fast but the thing is is I'm not gonna slow down for
21:30anybody else. David and I are 100% sure that moving in together right now is
21:37what we want to do. So we are. And everybody else is just gonna catch up on
21:41their own time. You're okay with David? Yeah I like him a lot. He's a good guy. Thanks. You're welcome.
21:51It's a change isn't it? It's a massive change. Yeah. You've never lived with a man full-time.
21:56Oh so we talked. That's the part that was getting me. Same. So he talked to me last night and he
22:01goes you're really weird today what's going on? And I was like no I'm fine blah
22:05blah and he goes no what's going on? I said he goes you're nervous? I said yes
22:09I'm nervous. I said I've never lived with a man full-time before and I'm really
22:14nervous. That's every night. You're gonna be with me every night. When I was
22:19married to Cody he would come around one out of every three four days. So he'd
22:24only come over for dinner and he would just be there that night and then he'd
22:28leave the next morning. And we didn't really see him that much the rest of the
22:31time. I'm so excited for it. So nervous for it. It's the first time that I'm
22:37living with a guy full-time. But people do this. It's like normal. That's what
22:41people do. When they get married they live with each other and it's just
22:44usually them and and this is just what people do. I just never have. He goes I'm
22:49gonna give you your space whatever you want. I'm like no I'm not saying I need
22:52my space. I'm just saying it's new and he's like are you regretting any of this?
22:57I'm like no I regret none of this. Yeah so Christine will be living with her
23:02boyfriend, husband, whatever for full-time for the first time. Like they're every
23:07day. They're every night. They're I don't know that would be just a very weird
23:10life after what I've been used to.
23:13So I'm heading over to Cody and Robin's house. I just want to let them know that
23:30I have decided to move before my lease is up. Honestly I don't really know that
23:37Cody really cares. Part of me is like why do they need to know? Like we're not
23:46family anymore but part of me is like but wait we've been in each other's
23:49lives for a really really long time. Just me and him have had this relationship
23:54for over 30 years. So it's like okay I guess I'll just be nice and be like hey
23:59just FYI this is what I'm doing.
24:06She's been excited about you coming. You know for me the hardest part about
24:12leaving is the kids. It's gonna be sad to not be able to see them and at the same
24:22time I haven't seen him much over the past few years. Even while I've been here
24:27honestly I feel like it's like pulling teeth to be able to see the kids. I text
24:34Robin and I'm like hey let's get together let's get together you know and
24:38it just it's I don't know why I don't know why it's been hard. Is this a
24:45conversation that she can be here for? Not if you don't want her to be here yet.
24:52Oh it's about the M word? Mm-hmm. Yeah? Okay. This whole thing with the family
25:00has been very hard. The whole thing with Mary has been very hard. I am trying
25:06really hard to protect my younger kids. So I just came to ask you a question
25:12because I'm gonna be moving in a couple of weeks. Why so early?
25:21I don't understand Cody. He's done everything in his power to push me away
25:27for the past decade. Mary I have a very difficult time like visualizing us as a
25:34family in the future. It makes me wonder if people wouldn't just who've been
25:42unhappy for so many years couldn't just leave. And now I'm moving and he's like
25:48why are you doing it so early? Like why do you care? Isn't this what you wanted?
25:52My immediate reaction is in my heart was good this will be good for Mary. But I
26:00never tell Mary what's going on in my heart anymore. It's not actually safe.
26:03Tell me June or July. Yeah. I kept hearing June or July. Well it's not June or July.
26:10My lease is up at the end of June and I just want to get it done before that.
26:14Anyway so yeah I just wondered if you'd be willing to help me load some stuff.
26:20Sure. And then would you be interested in driving a truck up there for me?
26:28Okay. What day? Call up my severance package.
26:34On what? It's a weird space to be with the severance package thing because I
26:45don't know if this is passive-aggressive or if it's just aggressive or if it's a
26:52joke. And I don't know and I haven't known my whole marriage. I failed to ask
26:57for alimony when we got the legal divorce so I'm kind of out that. So you
27:01know I put 30 years into this like help me move and get out of here. Then we'll
27:08just be good to go. We'll call it even I guess. I don't know. How are you feeling
27:12about it? All. Good. I think I'm just ready to be in control of my limbo land
27:20and this is me being in control of that. So limbo land to me has been I want to
27:26heal my marriage and heal relationships and waiting for him. I can totally
27:32understand how she would feel in that space of like when is he going to
27:41respond? When is he going to choose to work this out with me? She wasn't really
27:49living her full life I guess you'd say because she was always waiting for Cody.
27:54Movement. They say even if it's the wrong move always feels better than
28:00just being stagnant waiting. He didn't have the integrity, the courage to
28:08actually sit down with me and have a conversation to say this is not going to
28:14work. It was him trying to do everything he could to push me away so that I would
28:20be the one to leave so that he could say so yeah I didn't do anything. She's the
28:24one who left. You know like Robin frequently asked me in this case which
28:28Robin was always really supportive. In fact I dragged it out a little bit long
28:32because Robin was like it's not right for you to to break this off it she has
28:37to do this and I finally went she's not going to do this and we're not safe
28:41together.
28:45You won't try to replace dad right? For us. Because no one's gonna replace your dad.
28:51Right. No one. Do you remember that I have that house in Utah that is. You can
29:00see right over here there's snow-capped mountains and then look over here it's
29:04desert. We got to this gorgeous overlook.
29:22Oh co-closet that can just go in the living room and then this is the mom
29:27just goes in the master. Having met David there's so much change happening and so
29:33like she like is also changing a little bit but like only for the better. Thank
29:37you. You're welcome. Can I make you do all the stairs? Christine still feels
29:42even more of who she was like all the fun parts are there a lot of the sad
29:47parts are gone. But what are you gonna do about that lamp? Make it higher. How?
29:52Raise it you can take these there's two bars here so David will go up and he'll
29:56just pull up the wires and attach it blah blah blah. She's more comfortable in
30:01her own skin than she's been in a long time. I think that plural marriage was
30:05very hard for Christine and now that she's kind of shed some of those sad
30:10things we just get to see more and more of the fun-loving vivacious Christine.
30:15You guys are gonna last though right? Mm-hmm. You wouldn't have done this if
30:19you didn't thank you. Mm-hmm. This is it for the rest of my life. Okay. What if it's not?
30:24No then. It is? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I feel calmer since I met David. It's calmer on
30:30the inside like there's a steadying peace inside of me that wasn't there
30:34before. You won't try to replace dad right? For us. No. Because no one's gonna
30:40replace your dad. Right. No one. If you need a dad figure or a father figure or
30:46someone like that he'll be whatever you need. I worry that my dad and the chance
30:55of having like a really close relationship with my dad is like slowly
31:00going away. She wants a dad. Big time. But she wants her dad. He'd be a great stepdad.
31:07I agree. Yeah. Yeah. But he can't replace dad. He's not trying to right? Never. So I'm
31:13worried that my relationship with my father will be desolate. Will like not
31:20exist anymore. Because David will. I like don't mean to like say that he would be
31:27that kind of person because he would only ever come into any situation with
31:32like everybody else in mind and only with respect of everybody else as well.
31:38I've always wanted you guys have a great relationship with your dad. Yeah. A great
31:41one. So David coming in all that does is someone else to love. But replacing dad
31:48no. David like he comes off as like a very like present dad. Like with his
31:57children. So I mean how lovely would that be right? So I would love to have a
32:05relationship that is as amazing with my own father.
32:11Should we tell the kid? Do you want to tell someone? Do you want to? It's completely up to you.
32:27They're not gonna be very happy about it. I'm just I'm delaying. I don't know that
32:33we want to just wait. I think we tell him. I think don't we let Mary tell him?
32:37You want to tell him now? So I know that you know while we might need to tell them at
32:44this time I've been delaying. I don't want to see the sadness and
32:49disappointment on their faces I guess. I do want to talk to the kids. I just want
32:55them to hear it for me that I'm moving. Welcome to the world sweet girl. My
33:00goodness. Solomon and Ariella have only known their lives with me in it. You know
33:10a small part of it but they've known me in it. I have something I want to talk
33:16to you guys about. Thanks for coming up. Hi. I want to ask you guys if you'll do me a
33:23favor. Will you come help me and your mom and your dad come move all my stuff
33:30out of my house and put it in the truck? Because I'm gonna move into a different
33:35house. You remember that I have that house in Utah that is. I don't want to
33:48give up that relationship. I've had I've always had like from day one a really
33:54really sweet relationship with Solomon and I hope I don't lose it but I don't
33:59know what's gonna happen. Are you okay? I know me too. Like she loves me and I love
34:06that she loves me. You know she's just a sweetheart. Oh I'm just sad. Truly is sad
34:15for my children that they will never know when the next time that they see
34:19Mary will be. Will they see Mary at a holiday or will they see Mary ever? So
34:24have you just been going back and forth from your house in Flagstaff to the
34:28house in Utah and then you deciding that you kind of want to just stay there? Yeah
34:33it just just one of those things it's just time to make a change.
34:41Mary's always loved my kids and and to see them be sad or go why are you doing
34:49this kind of a thing. I'm sure in her head she's going on yeah that's a good
34:53question. I don't really want to be. It is kind of weird it feels a little sad. It
34:58is sad. Sort of like the end of an era. It is sad. It's weird to me because I can see
35:05Cody's sad and I he he has gotten emotional several times about it but
35:11this is what he chose. There's so many mixed emotions. It must be good for Mary to
35:16move. It's a beginning. I got a bit of a nostalgic heart and it's a little broken.
35:22I saw these other plural wives and other families have this bond. You know have
35:30each other's backs and I wanted that. I know that part of that is also rooting
35:38for his relationship with his other wives and to be honest he was happier
35:44and I was happier when he was in a good place with him. Circle you gonna put your
35:49arms around me? Okay there you go. This is all of us right? Mary has always been
35:56open and interested in wanting the relationship with me and I wanted it
36:00back and we've worked on our relationship. There was such a beautiful
36:05beautiful thing to to know your sister wife had your back. You know the flip
36:13side to the beauty of a good strong relationship with your sister wife is if
36:18it's not good and it can be really tough and it can be really scary and hard and
36:26threatening. I mean I've definitely felt like you know some of my sister wives
36:32haven't had my back. Definitely felt like there was a campaign against me kind of
36:39a thing. There's days when I just want to scream at everyone and just say you guys
36:45what the heck? What the heck? Like no this is not the way it was supposed to go.
36:56And so I'm posing with David and then David goes this is my favorite place in
37:01all of the world and you're my favorite person to be with.
37:04Would you like to carry me? Oh God.
37:08This is what the road looks like right now. We just moved in yesterday and David's like well it's my best friend's birthday party and whenever it's his birthday we always go riding in Moab so we need to go.
37:36Car confessions. We're in David's Razor in Moab. It's absolutely stunning beautiful and David just basically says it's like Disneyland.
37:45I see this pit. So it was David and I and Truly and strapped in like crazy.
37:56You go up and there's nothing on either side and you can barely see anything
38:02ahead of you. We come over the crest of the hill and I'm like oh and David goes
38:09that was the scariest thing for me a couple of years ago and I'm like you
38:13could have warned me. You could have warned me what was gonna happen. He just
38:17laughs. You can see right over here the snow-capped mountains and then look over
38:22here it's desert. This is the most fun ever seriously. I love it. Yes it's awesome.
38:27We got to this gorgeous overlook and we're just sitting there staring and
38:31David's friend is like hey do you want me to use your camera and I'll take a picture of
38:35the two of you here. I'm like yes that'd be great.
38:42And so I'm posing with David and then David goes this is my favorite place in
38:48all of the world and you're my favorite person to be with.
38:53Um, talk about getting married. Yeah. All the good times we've had so far. Well I'd like to marry you.
39:05I want to marry you too. Would you like to marry me? Oh God.
39:10Yes. Yes. I love you babe. He's just so sweet and so romantic and he's just real and I had no
39:27idea he was gonna propose and it's so silly because I should have put together
39:30but as soon as he started talking I realized this was it. Like I was getting
39:35a real proposal.
40:05Oh my God. It was also surprising and everything that he said was absolutely
40:13beautiful and perfect and he got down on one knee. I had a speech but I forgot all of it.
40:20No. Oh my God. Beautiful ring.
40:29Sure. Beautiful isn't it? Just like you are.
40:39It was a perfect day and I remember thinking you've got to answer him you've got to he's
40:43actually I'm like oh yes yes. I'm so excited. I feel like this life is just starting all over
40:52again and I love it. There's a whole new level of being loved that I didn't have before. I'm now
40:59loved so deeply so rich. I'm just loved. David loves me and there's no question and he only loves me.
41:09We're getting married!
41:13I've never felt like this before. Never been this much in love either. I never loved Cody as much as
41:18I love David. Was never in love with Cody like I'm in love with David. Never.
41:25I think you were surprised. I'm beyond surprised. I was so shocked. I know I move slow on kissing
41:32but I moved really fast. On everything else. Yeah. We're getting married!
41:46Next time on Sister Wives. Yeah she is the favorite divorced wife. I knew I was gonna
41:51have a chance of being favorite at one point. You're the favorite ex-wife Mary. Well stop.
41:58Tonight a bunch of our kids are coming over. We have something very exciting that we're going to
42:01share with them. That we're engaged. Who is that? Oh crap. Oh my gosh. Wait what you two are engaged?
42:11It's been like what two days? Three days maybe? I really want you to find happiness. I'm happy.
42:19We had something special. He's sobbing. He's saying it's an end of an era. It didn't have to
42:25be this way.
