Could Janelle Brown Have Stayed in Polygamy If Kody Brown Had Treated Her Better?
As the dynamics of the Brown family continue to unravel in Season 19, viewers are left wondering: if Kody Brown had treated Janelle Brown and her children with more respect, would she have remained in the polygamous lifestyle?
While Meri and Christine have made it clear they have no desire to return to polygamy, Janelle has expressed that she might consider it again under the right circumstances. This has sparked a lively debate among fans about Janelle’s true feelings toward the lifestyle.
Did Janelle Ever Embrace Polygamy?
Since her separation from Kody, Janelle has been vocal about her grievances. But the question remains: is it polygamy she has come to dislike, or is it her husband’s behavior?
A Reddit user recently posed an intriguing question: “Was Janelle the only one who truly enjoyed being a sister wife?” They suggested that Janelle seemed to embrace the communal lifestyle and had even converted to the AUB from the mainstream LDS church, indicating her commitment to the lifestyle.
The original poster (OP) argued, “Janelle fought for the communal home and appreciated the independence that came with sharing Kody with other wives. She may have been okay with Kody’s favoritism until it began affecting her children. If Kody had not turned against her kids, I believe she would have stayed.”
Fan Reactions on Janelle’s Experience
Responses from other Reddit users showcased a range of opinions regarding Janelle’s relationship with polygamy. Many acknowledged that while she enjoyed certain aspects of it, her feelings might not be as straightforward as they seem.
One commenter noted, “Janelle appreciated having Christine help raise her kids, but I doubt she enjoyed sharing Kody any more than the other wives. I think she was just pretending to be okay with it.”
Another user added, “Janelle liked her independence and having a partner she didn’t have to see all the time. I don’t think she’s suited for a monogamous marriage; she wouldn’t want someone around 24/7.”
Some fans argued that Janelle’s practical side made polygamy beneficial for her. “She wasn’t the type to stay home with the kids; having sister wives allowed her to work and contribute financially in the early years. Janelle seemed indifferent rather than enthusiastic about sister wives.”
One user even speculated, “I always thought Janelle would thrive as a truck driver’s wife. But then she’d be left to manage the kids alone. She’s definitely suited for a polygamous lifestyle, but she deserved a better partner than Kody.”
Conclusion
The ongoing discussions about Janelle’s experiences in polygamy highlight the complexities of her situation. While she may have found certain benefits in the lifestyle, her relationship with Kody has clearly influenced her feelings. As viewers continue to watch the family dynamics unfold, it’s evident that Janelle’s journey is far from over.
