00:00 Why did you not respect me enough as a human being?
00:04 The drama continued on part three of Sister Wives one-on-one, and this time Mary's relationship
00:11 with Cody was front and center.
00:15 Fans finally got to see Mary's reaction to Cody telling the cameras in 2022 that he considered
00:20 their marriage over.
00:22 I deserve to have a conversation and to be told.
00:29 And if he wasn't the kind of man to do that, like, I don't even know.
00:35 Like I don't, I don't, I don't know.
00:37 He should have been, he should have been the kind of man to do that.
00:41 But why didn't Cody ever tell Mary how he felt?
00:46 We don't go deep into it because I don't want her reacting in a crazy way.
00:55 I'm not ripping off a bandaid, but I know where we're at and I've made that clear to
01:01 her.
01:02 Why hasn't she received that message or has she received that message?
01:05 I think Robin and I are giving her different messages.
01:08 Like we're not on the same page on this.
01:10 And Robin's like, Mary, just hang in there, Mary.
01:13 And then to me, she's like, you've got to reconcile this.
01:16 And I'm looking at her and like, you, you are not going to get me to do this.
01:22 Despite the fact that Cody checked out of their relationship a long time ago, Mary says
01:27 she gave her husband grace and hopes he would return.
01:30 But when that ultimately didn't happen, she blamed him for breaking the promise he made
01:33 to her a while ago.
01:35 That doesn't include the dissolution of my soul or personality.
01:45 That relationship does not work in a marriage for me.
01:49 It's that simple.
01:50 So you're saying you can't function in dysfunction?
01:52 I don't care about the covenant.
01:53 If you can't get through that, then it's broken.
01:58 The episode also focused a lot on Cody's mental state, featuring clips of the 54-year-old
02:02 saying he hates his life in a confessional.
02:05 And although Mary admits she doesn't understand why he is in this mental state, she says his
02:10 happiness doesn't concern her anymore.
02:13 He's made it very clear to me that he's not interested in having any part of my life.
02:19 He's actually used the words, "Your life is not one that I want to insert myself into."
02:24 And so I've had to really step back and figure out me and where I am and how I move forward
02:34 and not let his emotions, his thoughts, his issues at all affect me.
02:43 But how does his wife Robin feel about all this?
02:46 She got emotional explaining why she thinks he is doing this to sabotage his life and
02:52 their relationship.
02:54 He's self-sabotaging.
02:55 He's angry.
02:57 So you see him imploding?
02:59 He tries to.
03:00 Yeah.
03:01 He tries to.
03:03 Is he sabotaging your relationship?
03:05 He tries to.
03:06 I have to stop him all the time.
03:10 And Cody agreed, explained why he's doing all this.
03:14 Yeah, but I wanted to punish myself.
03:18 I thought of myself leaving Robin and having another lover and looking at this lover and
03:23 going, "I don't love you.
03:24 I'm in love with another woman.
03:25 I'm in love with the woman that I left because I was too much a piece of s*** to manage the
03:29 relationship."
03:30 And what it was is just anger and I'm embarrassed.
03:32 So you get embarrassed and then you get self-deprecating.
03:34 You know, it's like just bad behavior.
03:37 And a lot of people might go through this, "These are my demons."
03:40 And that's like doing something that destroys myself.
03:44 Aside from Cody, another major topic of discussion was Robin.
03:48 Christine and Janelle both shut down Cody's claims that they're bullying her.
03:52 And Janelle explained why she thinks Cody feels this way.
03:57 Do you feel like you're a bully, Robin?
03:58 No, I don't.
04:00 And that's where it started to get really weird because all of a sudden it was always
04:03 about framing.
04:08 It's almost like I have this paragon of a wife.
04:11 She does everything right.
04:13 And so if you had any kind of a disagreement or you had any kind of a different opinion,
04:19 even if you expressed it respectfully, you weren't safe.
04:23 You were a bully.
04:24 You know, as a wife, I should be able to say to Cody, "Well, I'm having a problem here."
04:28 But that conversation was never open.
04:30 I couldn't say anything against Robin.
04:34 When Cody was asked if he treated other women equally, he had this to say.
04:39 Oh, I was equitable in my time.
04:41 See that's where the lie is.
04:43 If I had one of my children complaining that I was always at one wife's house.
04:48 And whose house was that?
04:49 Oh, it was Robin's.
04:50 Robin's the blame for everything.
04:52 And this is the why.
04:54 When I say she's the blame for everything, I'm not blaming her.
04:58 But there's something that has drawn the wrath of jealousy from the public, the tabloids,
05:06 from sister wives, something to go towards her where she's being blamed for [expletive]
05:13 what I did or [expletive] that I didn't manage.
05:18 And or the bad relationship I had with one wife.
05:21 Oh, that's Robin's fault because I had a good relationship with her.
05:26 Now it's no secret not all the women get along with Robin.
05:29 And although Christine doesn't blame her for everything, she explains why she doesn't
05:34 necessarily want to be Robin's friend.
05:36 Well, I don't trust her.
05:38 I think she says one thing but does another.
05:41 How can you say you want the whole big family picture but then do all these separate things
05:46 with Cody?
05:47 How can you say you want the whole big family picture when he's over at your house all the
05:51 time?
05:52 So if you don't trust her, how do you have a relationship with her?
05:54 I'm not going to.
05:55 Not even how do you?
05:56 I will not.
05:57 One sister wife who still has a good relationship with Robin is Mary.
06:01 Although she admits they're still working on their relationship, she doesn't fully trust
06:05 Robin, Janelle, or Christine.
06:09 They don't have my back.
06:12 Robin has your back.
06:13 Oh, by the way, I don't have sister wives, just FYI.
06:17 Robin has my back.
06:18 Yes, Robin has my back.
06:19 But you don't trust her implicitly?
06:22 Um, no.
06:25 Although Mary says she no longer has sister wives, Robin doesn't agree with that statement.
06:29 I'm sorry, what did you just say?
06:31 Because I called her an ex-sister wife.
06:32 Don't call her that.
06:38 You can't do that to me.
06:40 You can't.
06:41 Other places would love me.
06:42 I'm sorry.
06:43 The drama wasn't just between the ladies.
06:52 Their kids got involved too.
06:54 It all started with a group text that was supposed to reunite the family for a group
06:57 exchange but instead things took a turn when everyone allegedly started taking digs at
07:03 Robin and her kids.
07:05 And Janelle then explained how things took a nasty turn.
07:10 Robin was like, you guys have treated me so badly.
07:12 I'm so tired.
07:13 I don't want to work on this anymore.
07:14 And then all of a sudden her kids started piling in with these really things like, you
07:17 treated us so horribly.
07:19 We're never going to want to have our own families because this was such a horrible
07:21 experience and I'm like, whoa.
07:24 Like I don't know how, I don't know how we go from let's not have a video call at 9pm
07:30 Eastern to you guys were so horrible to us.
07:33 Like it just spiraled.
07:35 The text thread got so heated that Robin decided to do a gift exchange just with her kids and
07:41 Cody.
07:42 When looking back at how they welcomed Robin into the family, Mary thinks the sister wives
07:46 could have tried a little harder and Janelle thinks they should have given the kids more
07:51 time to adjust to the changes in their family before everything imploded.
07:55 But is there any coming back from all of this drama?
08:00 I am not willing personally, I'm not willing to fix it yet.
08:05 Although Christine isn't interested in fixing things with Robin and Cody, she has happily
08:09 moved on.
08:10 Since the episode was filmed, she has married David Woolley and now she's explaining the
08:16 difference between being with Cody and being with David.
08:21 David loves me.
08:23 He loves me.
08:24 And I feel so loved.
08:26 But with that comes a confidence that I can just be me.
08:42 (upbeat music)
