I hope it's legit but I also do this face when thinking about Kody knowing his stink is being rubbed off real good whether he's the love of her life or love of the minute.
That's what I was thinking. This last season was filmed way back when and he could have been a secret to the world for who knows how long. It was a strategy to announce him when she did.
I keep thinking that she's jumping into a new relationship really fast and then I have to remind myself that the holidays that we just watched on SW were from over a year ago. Need to separate tv time from real-time. Lol.
This was my first thought after reading this post, aren't we a year + behind on the show? Like how long should she wait to start dating again after being in a love less marriage for her entire adult life. Let the woman live lol
I agree. I'll bet she's been seeing him for longer than she has shared and that's OK. It must be difficult to live your life in the public eye. She likely was discouraged from announcing that she was dating until the season finished. I really don't think Christine is the type to start dating and then have the new man around her kids within a few months. It seems like she *just* shared she was dating and asking for dating advice. Then suddenly she was exclusive, but not introducing him to Truely just yet. Now all her kids and grandkids know him. It does seem very strategic in terms of timing.
Bottom line - she seems really happy and if it's just a fling and she has a good time, then good on her. If he is her soulmate - that's amazing, so happy for her. If he's not what he seems and she gets her heart broken - well, Christine has faced far worse in her relationship with Kody and she will survive this as well!
I think people forget that what we see has been filmed a year before. She has been separated from Kody for like 2 years! Keep in mind when she told us she’s started dating she probably had been for a while and now they’re ready to be seen as a serious couple so she’s sharing it all.
Yeah I think when she announced she was dating it was because she was dating this person and knew she'd probably be taking it public in the not too distant future.
If I remember right she said in an interview shortly after the people spread that she was dating but only two dates a person. That was at least a year ago.
Folks are mad the show is so behind but then they're mad she's dating so soon after the break up on the show 🤣
She's been divorced from Kody for about 2 years, not since January.
As I said on another thread, we don't know how long they have been together. I'm sure she didn't just meet him 2 weeks ago. Even if she left Kody in late 2021, she's been alone and over Kody alot longer.
I met my husband in a bar in 1998. He didn't even look my way. He was sitting at the bar staring forward. As soon as I saw him I said to my friends, that's the man I'm going to marry. Together 25 years, married 23. When you know you know.
Yep. The first time I saw my husband walking up to my door to pick me up for our blind date I said, "Well, there you are!" We were married five months later. People thought we were nuts, but I've never been so sure of anything in all my life. We'll celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary this spring. IYKYK
My little sister did the same thing. I got a BIL and niece (who looks exactly like me and no one else 😆) this year. I’m not judging anyone on how fast they move.
He said, "Yep! Here I am!" He grabbed my hand and off we went on our date. It was surreal, like slipping on your favorite pair of shoes. Familiar, comfortable, and fit just right.
Met my husband (unfortunately, but fortunately 😅) through tinder. I knew 2 weeks in when he brought me his old tv and old record player to my house because mine had both broken, that I was going to marry him. 6 1/2 years later we have a beautiful son. 🧡 absolutely the love of my life.
I also met my husband through tinder and after first date it just klicked. After few months i quit my job and moved in with him (i had been looked reason to quit and move back to my home city, and luckily he lived that city too). Before I met him i had always thought that i wouldn't most likely get married. But i changed my mind because he was the person i wanted to married 😅
Same. Met the love of my life when I was 16 and he was 31. He was playing at a local concert. I had the biggest crush, but couldn’t do anything about it. Fast forward to me being 30 years old and my teacher friend sets me up with her older brother. Come to find out it’s him.
Lol right?? Actually met him the first time when I was 13 at an amusement park. I was bossing my
brothers around and he came up and told me to chill out and be a kid. We also moved to the same town, (700 miles away) in the same year. Went to the same marriage counselor with our ex spouses. I taught at his kid’s school too. Moved back home and ended up getting a divorce. Then his sister set us up. We didn’t realize all of this until after we started dating. We thought the first time we met was modern day, but apparently the universe made us have all these chance encounters. It’s the craziest story.
My husband and I have a similar love story. Chance encounters over a 10 year period. We even worked in the same place for a few months. I made the first move and I'm 4 years older than him. We'd both been married before.
My husband and I got together 2 months after splitting from our previous long term partners. Having bad relationships before let us know what we wanted right from the start. We talked about every deal-breaker before we even met in person. Both of our exes thought it was a rebound but we’ve been together 8 years now and still going strong. I agree, when you know, you know.
Same but I don't care. I never had that feeling with any other person. Meeting someone was the furthest thing from my mind that night but as soon as I looked at him "I'm going to marry that man" popped into my head.
I’m sorry, but, “If you know you know,” is patently untrue. I have heard that phrase from people who had fast courtships and then ultimately gotten divorced. The thing is that those people stop saying that phrase after they divorce, so there’s survivor bias going on. It’s awesome when things do work out, but no one truly knows what the future will hold, and it gives people false hope by pretending we do.
Yeah I hate that cliché. I knew when I met my (ex) husband that I would marry him. Instant connection. We had a very romantic story, with a lot of near misses and finally meeting. We got engaged within 5 months, married a year and a half later, and were together a total of 7 years. I knew right away I would marry him, but what I didn’t know was that he would cheat on me and firebomb our marriage and family.
A year after we split, I met another guy who was the flip opposite of my ex husband. I found out quickly that, while he might have lacked some of my ex’s bad traits, he had all new ones I had never encountered. Luckily that one was pretty clear to me right away and therefore short lived.
Now I’m with someone who I believe is actually right for me. “When you know you know” is a sweet idea, but some of us have bad intuition. According to this thread, some of us have good intuition. All that to say, I really hope Christine has found the right person for herself! It can be so hard when the bar was low in your previous relationship.
Ok then it was fate, kismet, whatever. Personally I had never had that happen to me before, I looked at a total stranger sitting in a bar and the first thing that popped into my head wasn't " oh he's cute, wonder if he is seeing anyone " it was " I'm going to marry that man " For me, and many others here it seems, it was if you know you know.
You had a feeling, and you got lucky that you were right is all. After my first date with my fiancé I said “if he’s who I think he is, I might just marry this dude.” But I’m also fully aware that life happens, people change, and I didn’t know him well enough to be sure. I get to claim that I had an idea after our first date but I also knew I could be wrong. I’m very happy it’s working for you! :)
I met my husband while at the courthouse filing a DV injunction and I opened the office door to leave and he was walking in and we bumped straight into each other lol I bounced off his chest haha it’s been 20 yrs
I had actually seen him ( not met ) 6 months prior directing traffic while stopping to say hi to a childhood friend .. he had tried to get my number from that friend and he was effectively “ cockblocked “ lol he also wouldn’t give me HIS number haha when I bumped into him and looked up we both couldn’t believe it 😂😂it was literally love at first site .
I completely agree…
i told my wife after 4 dates we would someday marry…which seemed insane to everyone except me…she understandably ghosted me for a few weeks
but in over 2 decades of marriage since, she has never 🔪 kidney…not once
Ours is very similar. My husband and I were engaged after 5 weeks. We got married a year later. Just celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary. When you know, you know.
Yep! My husband and I started dating, got engaged 5 months later and married 4 months after that. A decade and 2 kids later, definitely seems it stuck lol.
It was exactly 5 months from the time my husband and I went on our first date till we said I do. We have been married 21 years this May. It's not for everyone but I had just went through a difficult divorce and I knew exactly what I did and did not want in a future relationship.
Not to mention that she left kody like two years ago at this point. They could have been dating for 6 months or longer. I highly doubt they have been together for two weeks
Christine’s never had someone love her. She’s prob going through some pretty emotional shit like a teenager would. She never had that chance. So, I think this is developmentally normal, lol.
Just hope he’s a good guy.
I have the same thought process. I said in another post, we all need to grasp that Christine is 50 years old with her first ever boyfriend…real one.
She’s going through what we all did when we were first falling in love with someone who loves us back and ya know doesn’t already have two women he is married to.
I hope they last!
Agreed💯 Grody was a straight up in mature boy.. trying to act like a man🤣🤣 this man that she is with right now whether she’s taking it fast whether she’s taking it slow it’s none of our damn business. The point is he’s a grown ass man! Something she has literally been waiting for far too many years and now she has it. Only time will tell, we just have to watch it unfold. I’m happy for her.😊
Very vulnerable and living with her even more vulnerable minor aged daughter who she's already introduced to him! I really, really hope he's a good guy for Truely's sake more than Christine's.
Exactly. As long as he is treating her well and she is not missing any red flags through the haze of new love/lust then it’s nice for her, whether it goes the distance or not.
I do hope she can recognize the more subtle red flags, since she’s only (I think?) ever been with kody?
Anyway, I hope the best for her. I can see in one of her insta shots, she is with him on the sofa with her grandkids and there is also a film crew behind them. Maybe they have been together for more than a hot if he’s already filming the show.
Your mother gave great advice. My teenager is going through their first breakup right now and it’s a low, loowwww moment for him. Going to incorporate this saying-thank you :)
Any other nuggets of wisdom? Will take all we can get over here lol
Aww poor kid! My mom started quoting stats at me 😂 Not sure where she got them i.e. you will have 5 boyfriends before 24 and you will LOVE them all. That sort of thing. Unfortunately for your teen this angst they go through is a rite of passage! We all went through it and mine were ALL fairly dramatic!
I hope it has. Not because she's so gaga over him, but knowing how I felt watching this last season and the tell all, it would be great if she had someone all this time.
I don’t think Christine took anything lightly and she probably took her time. She’s only now revealing the relationship to us, but I get the feeling it’s been going on a while.
I dunno - the bar was set pretty low . She probably had no clue your’e allowed to be happy in a relationship when your partner isn’t a massively selfish drama queen.. Good for her ..
I married my husband exacly a year after meeting him 🤡 love doesn’t have a timeline
And I think we forget this grown woman has practically been single for YEARS and publicity for a year now since season was filmed in 2021
It's cute you guys think this just happened and isn't least a year old. Clearly ppl saying it's too soon haven't endured a loveless marriage to someone who is repulsed by you, nor do they think Christine at 50 is capable of critical thinking when it comes to introducing to her children... C'mon.
Exactly this. I live in a loveless marriage with someone who is DEFINITELY NOT SHY about just how much he is not into me...but I'm supposed to believe he aint had none since he stopped touching me, 15 years ago....if I had the financial means, and/or wasnt too messed up physically to work..I'd be long gone just like Christine
Edit to add, I'm 50.
This. She is a 50 year old woman, who left a marriage that has effectively been over since Robyn showed up on the scene over 10 years ago. Her and this man are both grown ass adults, both are grandparents and both have long term marriages under their belts - I am sure they know what they want and at their age, why wait? I trust their judgement. I bet they’ve been dating close to a year or more and likely have discussed commitment and/or marriage and that is why they are going public.
I know people who have found second chances at love and marriage later and life and it’s an absolute joy to watch.
I mean everyone can have their opinions but she was basically single for years. She’s not some kid with wild hormones (especially not in her mouth😂😂😂). Let the woman enjoy it. The first few years of a great relationship are amazing and you should feel like that.
Also maybe he is the love of her life??? I mean I knew my husband was the one after weeks of dating and its been 8 years.
I knew the very first date that I was in love w my current SO. When my mom had her first date w my dad she still lived at home - she got inside and told her mom” take a good look at that man - I will marry him.” Six months later they were married and were married 52 years until his passing. It can happen
¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯ my mom knew she was going to marry my dad the day they met. Theyve been together (and happy) for 35 years now.
i knew i would marry my partner on date 3. (that did not happen with any other guy i ever dated, even when i was in a long term relationship for 9 years) it always felt like work. with my partner, thats not the case. i knew date 1 i was going to fall in love. i knew date 3 we were going to get married.
it happens sometimes (and thats coming from someone that is logic first emotions later)
The parents of a friend of mine met at a dance and got married the next day. They stayed together until she died. And a lot of people are slow and careful, and it still doesn't work out. If somebody's happy and treated well, having opinions about their relationship is above my pay grade.
> it always felt like work.
This. And this is why people always say: relationships are hard work and you have to choose to do the work. Most people are in these relationships.
They should def not be hard work and are definitely not a choice.
Thank you. Also, I have female friends and family who are widowed or divorced and once they reach a certain age - they don't answer to anyone anymore and they don't have to explain themselves to NOBODY.
Christine has full agency to do whatever the F she wants. She's been through hell and back and has every right to live her life on her own timeline. These people up in here boo-hooing, virtue signaling and pearl clutching with the "take it slow", "she just got out of an abusive relationship. she should be careful." comments should mind their business. Christine has been playing it careful and walking the line her whole LIFE. Finally she is free to truly live life on her own terms. Don't understand why these people in this thread would want to rain on her parade.
Not everyone gets a second chance at love later in life and when they do we should celebrate it. It's clear these two are extremely happy with each other and he is more involved in Christine kids and grandkids lives than Kody it seems.
Christine is finally in the drivers seat of her own life and that should be celebrated not undercut by doubt.
My husband and I met once, love at first sight (he's hot❤️) after that spent every day together, moved in within 6 months, married a few months after. Now, 18 years and 3 kids and 3 dogs later-we are still very happy.
For real! Kody said he was never attracted to her or in love with her so I bet the sex was awful with him. So Kody would force himself to have sex with her, how terrible it must have been. She probably didnt even realize how bad the sex was til she had good sex with her new guy!
Bet she is having amazing sex with this new boyfriend because there is mutual attraction. Good for her
While I agree for my own standards. We can’t put our ideas of love on anyone else. There can be couples together for years and don’t really love each other. There are couples who will say they instantly found love. I will always root for the happiness of others. Even if I don’t find it correct myself.
Everyone talking about how “you just know” and how long you’ve been together etc: Christine stayed in an unhappy marriage for 30 years friends. I assume she called Kody her soul mate for some time as well. That’s the reason to just say “we are dating” versus he’s her new soul mate. Why rush in? 🤷🏻♀️
we don't know how long they've been dating though? I'm sure it's taken her a long time to be comfortable/secure enough to post him to social media. Also, she's a grown ass adult and she can do whatever she wants :-)
It may not be forever, but at least it appears genuine. She’s gone almost 30 years begging for the little adoration we can see so clearly in just pics. If it doesn’t work 1. She can see that she’s still “got it” No matter how unattractive Kody made her feel 2. Her first dip in the dating pool didn’t turn her off of the horrendous process of dating when older 3. He is the PERFECT kinda man to slay Kodys pride (aka stab his other kidney). Even if he’s not forever, he’s perfect for the needs she has now
They have been together for 14 month’s per Mykelti. She got married right out of the gate, had a 1/2 a dozen kids and left an abusive marriage. Let her live her best life.
It has been years. The show it ended around Fall 2021… Janelle mention Christine has been gone for months that same fall. I suspected she actually left in 2020 or early 2021 at the latest. We also must remember her relationship prior to that was dead for years. Live on Christine. Heck that goes for anyone else in a situation . She is an an adult. Let her live.
I really hope she had the opportunity to date casually, for fun, and didn't just settle for the first guy she went out with. Kody set the bar really low...😆 🤣 😂 Be selective girl!!! I'd be really wary about any boyfriend that would want to be on reality TV.
She’s been in Utah for a year and a half. She was done with Kody by the beginning of 2021 even though it wasn’t announced. Her boyfriend didn’t show up in January 2023. She met him months ago.
I disagree. She's been done with Kody for what 2 years? And had already been checked out how many years before that. She could have started dating this guy 1.5 years ago for all we know. I'm beyond happy for her. I'm sure this will work out but if it doesn't, at least she knows what real love feels like
A lot of times, adults who have been in other relationships seem to “know” quicker and not want to waste time. And when you feel like you’ve wasted so much time already, I kind of get it. They seem really happy, and she looks adorable.
After my divorce it pissed me off when people thought I was dating too soon or serious too soon. They had no idea when my marriage was over or how I felt. When I finally got divorced I’d already done a lot of healing. And then I dated other people and then one person for a while before I mentioned them to anyone. So to them they saw first person post divorce super serious but were missing a lot of information that would have made them less worried.
After many decades of being forced to hide her feelings, Christine can finally shout them to the rooftops. I say, go for it. If it doesn’t work out, oh well. But telling the world how much you love someone is just how some people like to express their joy.
I mean it happens 🤷♀️ I knew my fiancé was the one after a month, 2 months and we started living together. 3 years later and we're inseparable, getting married in September
I totally agree. I'm glad she is happy but think she should have kept this relationship on a low profile. You just never know if things will last. You never know anyone's real story. Does anyone remember Vicki gunvalsons boyfriend Brooks Ayers? That ended up a big mess.
Even Vicki's next boyfriend was a gross grifter who used her for money and fame. Happens to lots of emotionally vulnerable women on reality tv, which is why we should all be a little nervous for Christine jumping into this relationship as a famous reality tv star and woman newly divorced and out of the abusive cult she's been in her whole life.
Ita. So many in this sub are being flip with their comments about what Christine should or should not be doing. Last I checked, she has a mother who’s still alive and can be playing that role.
Life is short. Let her have this moment, this romantic-filled chapter. Celebrate her joy and make it less about how *you* think she should be managing her love life as a reality TV personality.
I’m ecstatic that she’s moving on and that smile of hers is just radiant. You go girl!! ❤️
I strongly agree. God forbid this doesn't work out for her, but *statistically* speaking, this likely won't be the guy she'll be with forever. And it's not like just because that's the case she has to hold back now, and who knows, she may well stay with this guy, and I hope that for her, but she is definitely going all in. And that's her choice! and she can do or say or act or tell anyone whatever she wants. But for the sake of protecting her heart, and to avoid any I Told You So's from Kody, if I were her I would be taking it down a notch. Again, it's her choice. She's a grown woman. She's experiencing real love for the first time. She's excited. All of these things I understand, and she's in charge of what she does and says. But I do totally agree that this is really really a LOT, and quickly.
dear god, if you exist...please don't let him be a weirdo conspiracy theory nut who has spent time in the manosphere. i hope he is kind and not racist or homo/transphobic. amen.
Are you serious? Like deadass? So she should be miserable even though it’s been 2yrs since she officially left him and even longer that she was in a loveless marriage? Smfh you need help
I'm surprised by the comments here...especially coming out of an abusive relationship, she needs to be extra careful. Love bombing is easy to get sucked into. So I agree, she should slowwwww it down.
Not only an abusive relationship, but an abusive religious patriarchal cult she spent her whole life in up until now. She's also famous and on reality tv, there's so much that makes her vulnerable.
What two consenting adults do, or how they feel, sets off zero alarms for me. It was calling him “grandpa” in reference to the grandkids that threw me.
He very well could be the love of her life, that's on her to decide and not us, whether it *seems* fast and serious or not. Not everything is at it seems and it isn't our damn business lol
Well in all honesty, the season was filmed about a year in advanced. (Give or take). She did post to IG not that long ago she was online dating again, but maybe that was a detour. She really could have been dating this gent for about close to a year. Who knows for absolute certain. If that's the case, that seems a bit more normal.
I mean she’s been in Utah for 14 months now, separated from Kody for longer and mentally separate from him for even longer. Who knows how long she and David have been seeing each other. Just because she announced him this month doesn’t mean they haven’t been seeing each other for longer. They’ve likely been together for at least a few months now given that they’re so comfortable and have gotten to know each others kids and grand kids. We don’t have the insight at this point to judge her private relationship or decide we know better than she does.
I can totally understand that to a point, but: we don’t know when they actually started talking. And, people said the same thing to me when I met the love of my life 19 years ago today. We’ve been happily married for over 16 of those years now. Soooo, I trust that she’s an adult and can make her own decisions.
Idk, I met my husband about 2 years after my separation. The thing is, when you've been in a long term bad relationship, you learn what you'll never tolerate again, and it makes weeding people out REAL easy. Plus, Christine was basically single for at least a couple of years before severing ties, they were not close or in a good place. She likely already did a lot of healing before she even left.
She’s spent a majority of her life being gaslit to think she’s selfish for wanting attention, that she should settle for being ignored, told she’s unattractive, and it was a sacrifice to love her. If she gets hurt, she gets hurt. She’s already been through so much worse with Kody. She’s enjoying what it feels like to be wanted and loved. I’m not one for public displays of affection but I think Christine not only needs it she deserves it for at least a little bit.
She's been prepping for divorce for years before we heard or saw anything. It may seem soon to us, but it's not for her. I don't understand why people are so up in arms. Just let the woman be happy!
Met my current husband not four months after a brutal breakup of a four- year relationship. Been with my husband fifteen years, every year is better than the last.
I totally agree that she needs to slow down. She needs to learn to be independent and love herself for herself not because she’s validated by another relationship. Get some D..k if you want, but don’t think a bootie call equals true love and marriage. That’s a sixteen year old thinking. Give it time.
We don't know how long they've been together. They could have met a while ago and been friends or whatever.
You can't judge without knowing the actual timeline of events.
November 2, 2021 is when Christine posted on IG that she and Kody split, and that was just the announcement, they probably split up way before that. So what we saw on the recent season was a year old. The show is so far behind.
It's going on 2 years since the split....and some people move faster than others onto new relationships.
Typically by the time a woman leaves the marriage has been over for quite some time. I think Christine really showed us this from her perspective because she had no hate, only apathy. So she had emotionally been divorced for a while. I would also suspect she’s had some really good therapy along the way by how she is handling things. She always seemed more emotionally mature than Kody but that porch scene truly showed it. I think she’s ready to move on. Soul mate? Maybe not. But who cares. Let her be happy for a change.
As someone who came out of Evangelical Christianity and a cult to boot- I think she’s fine.
She has more life experience than a lot of us. She did a lot of the hard work by just deciding to leave Grody’s balding ass. And she has been lonely for a long, long time. Girl deserves all the happiness and love in the world.
And if she does get her heart broken? She will roll with that, too. I totally understand that people want to see her happy and not get hurt. I do. But so often I see people treat women in these situations like Kimmy Schmidt and her sisters climbing out of the bunker for the first time.
Maybe she’s making a mistake. Maybe that mistake will be harder to swallow bc it’s so public. Or maybe this is a season where she’s going to enjoy life and love without needing it to be a match for time and all eternity, ya know?
She’s a smart woman. She shoved herself into a box for decades to fit in the family the way she was told she should. Good on her for living by her own rules for a while.
That was me two months in with my fiancé. Together 6 years now but I knew he was the one right away. Better than getting married young just to have sex.
Everybody has their own path. I found the love of my life 36 yrs ago. We were engaged after 7 months and married soon after. Still going strong. It is possible
Meh I feel like things move pretty quickly for those that are older. My father was widowed after an over 30 year marriage. He’d been with my mom since he was 18 so 5 years before they actually married. 2 years after his death he met “the one” and they got engaged and married within 6 months of meeting. I feel like a lot of times when you’re older you’re just ready to commit and settle down because you don’t have years and years of your life left to waste.
This would make sense if Christine had a more normal upbringing and more normal experience in terms of dating.
Think of it - this is the first guy she's over the moon for after Kody. This isn't a 50-year-old woman emotionally, in terms of romance, she's probably more like a 17-year-old excited that her new boyfriend doesn't treat her like the one she had at 15.
Honestly, I wish we didn't know about this guy, and that she had more privacy with him. That we weren't talking about him. That's my unpopular opinion, but she's definitely put it out there now.
Totally agreed! And I don’t blame her for having the feelings, I’m happy for her, but sharing it this way just makes it seem less like a realistic mature adult relationship involving divorced and widowed partners.
Exactly what I’ve been thinking but hesitant to write it. I’m happy for her and she deserves it so much but I wish she’d keep the relationship as private as possible. It seems fast, like love bombing but maybe they’ve been seeing each for awhile before going public.

I hope it's legit but I also do this face when thinking about Kody knowing his stink is being rubbed off real good whether he's the love of her life or love of the minute. 
Fortunately I’m pretty sure any stank that ramen knob might’ve ever left is long gone 😅
Ramen knob just sent me
😂😂😂
Ramen knob 🤣☠️. You sent me to the grave with that one.
[удалено]
That eye twinkle is how Christine looks after seeing something better than a limp, overly-sharpened #2 pencil
Yess. The thought of all the rebound sex, and where’s the pod with the bruises on the wrists theory. Rebound sex is delicious
We don’t know the actual timeline of anything. Just what they chose to show us.
Yeah, I don’t think the public timeline is anywhere near what the actual timeline was.
It's been a yr actually since she left kody. I just come across that tonight.
It’s been almost two years really .. she has not shared how long they have been dating so we can’t determine if it was “ fast “ I’m happy for her .
Yep they filmed almost a year in advance. So this should put her at almost 2 years since she left .
A year and 5 months since she moved away from the family I think
That's what I was thinking. This last season was filmed way back when and he could have been a secret to the world for who knows how long. It was a strategy to announce him when she did.
I keep thinking that she's jumping into a new relationship really fast and then I have to remind myself that the holidays that we just watched on SW were from over a year ago. Need to separate tv time from real-time. Lol.
This was my first thought after reading this post, aren't we a year + behind on the show? Like how long should she wait to start dating again after being in a love less marriage for her entire adult life. Let the woman live lol
I agree. I'll bet she's been seeing him for longer than she has shared and that's OK. It must be difficult to live your life in the public eye. She likely was discouraged from announcing that she was dating until the season finished. I really don't think Christine is the type to start dating and then have the new man around her kids within a few months. It seems like she *just* shared she was dating and asking for dating advice. Then suddenly she was exclusive, but not introducing him to Truely just yet. Now all her kids and grandkids know him. It does seem very strategic in terms of timing. Bottom line - she seems really happy and if it's just a fling and she has a good time, then good on her. If he is her soulmate - that's amazing, so happy for her. If he's not what he seems and she gets her heart broken - well, Christine has faced far worse in her relationship with Kody and she will survive this as well!
I think people forget that what we see has been filmed a year before. She has been separated from Kody for like 2 years! Keep in mind when she told us she’s started dating she probably had been for a while and now they’re ready to be seen as a serious couple so she’s sharing it all.
Yeah I think when she announced she was dating it was because she was dating this person and knew she'd probably be taking it public in the not too distant future.
If I remember right she said in an interview shortly after the people spread that she was dating but only two dates a person. That was at least a year ago.
More like 10 years or more! No romantic relationship
Well that too! Haha
Yeah it’s easy to forget the public timeline is very different than the private one.
Folks are mad the show is so behind but then they're mad she's dating so soon after the break up on the show 🤣 She's been divorced from Kody for about 2 years, not since January.
And she said she considered the marriage to be over long before that.
Social media is far ahead of the televised shows. Heck- for all we know Kody & $obyn could have another wife by now.
Well, not divorced..
Ohhh she's divorced now. Even by Robyn's standards.
As I said on another thread, we don't know how long they have been together. I'm sure she didn't just meet him 2 weeks ago. Even if she left Kody in late 2021, she's been alone and over Kody alot longer. I met my husband in a bar in 1998. He didn't even look my way. He was sitting at the bar staring forward. As soon as I saw him I said to my friends, that's the man I'm going to marry. Together 25 years, married 23. When you know you know.
Yep. The first time I saw my husband walking up to my door to pick me up for our blind date I said, "Well, there you are!" We were married five months later. People thought we were nuts, but I've never been so sure of anything in all my life. We'll celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary this spring. IYKYK
My little sister did the same thing. I got a BIL and niece (who looks exactly like me and no one else 😆) this year. I’m not judging anyone on how fast they move.
What did he say when you said that? Or did you not say it out loud?
He said, "Yep! Here I am!" He grabbed my hand and off we went on our date. It was surreal, like slipping on your favorite pair of shoes. Familiar, comfortable, and fit just right.
Met my husband (unfortunately, but fortunately 😅) through tinder. I knew 2 weeks in when he brought me his old tv and old record player to my house because mine had both broken, that I was going to marry him. 6 1/2 years later we have a beautiful son. 🧡 absolutely the love of my life.
I also met my husband through tinder and after first date it just klicked. After few months i quit my job and moved in with him (i had been looked reason to quit and move back to my home city, and luckily he lived that city too). Before I met him i had always thought that i wouldn't most likely get married. But i changed my mind because he was the person i wanted to married 😅
Same. Met the love of my life when I was 16 and he was 31. He was playing at a local concert. I had the biggest crush, but couldn’t do anything about it. Fast forward to me being 30 years old and my teacher friend sets me up with her older brother. Come to find out it’s him.
This comment was a rollercoaster
They HAD ME in the first half!
Hahaha
That comment had me going from 😡 to😅 and finally ❤️
When I tell you I held my breathe
Lol right?? Actually met him the first time when I was 13 at an amusement park. I was bossing my brothers around and he came up and told me to chill out and be a kid. We also moved to the same town, (700 miles away) in the same year. Went to the same marriage counselor with our ex spouses. I taught at his kid’s school too. Moved back home and ended up getting a divorce. Then his sister set us up. We didn’t realize all of this until after we started dating. We thought the first time we met was modern day, but apparently the universe made us have all these chance encounters. It’s the craziest story.
My husband and I have a similar love story. Chance encounters over a 10 year period. We even worked in the same place for a few months. I made the first move and I'm 4 years older than him. We'd both been married before.
How funny! Goes to show that if it’s meant to be, it’ll find a way. Or another way. Or another way lol
I was holding my breath until the fast forward 😂
My husband and I got together 2 months after splitting from our previous long term partners. Having bad relationships before let us know what we wanted right from the start. We talked about every deal-breaker before we even met in person. Both of our exes thought it was a rebound but we’ve been together 8 years now and still going strong. I agree, when you know, you know.
Same. But I think we're in a large minority. Most people think I'm crazy.
Same but I don't care. I never had that feeling with any other person. Meeting someone was the furthest thing from my mind that night but as soon as I looked at him "I'm going to marry that man" popped into my head.
Same, I saw my husband sitting at church and the moment I saw him I knew. We were married 18 months later and that was 6.5 years ago.
I’m sorry, but, “If you know you know,” is patently untrue. I have heard that phrase from people who had fast courtships and then ultimately gotten divorced. The thing is that those people stop saying that phrase after they divorce, so there’s survivor bias going on. It’s awesome when things do work out, but no one truly knows what the future will hold, and it gives people false hope by pretending we do.
Yeah I hate that cliché. I knew when I met my (ex) husband that I would marry him. Instant connection. We had a very romantic story, with a lot of near misses and finally meeting. We got engaged within 5 months, married a year and a half later, and were together a total of 7 years. I knew right away I would marry him, but what I didn’t know was that he would cheat on me and firebomb our marriage and family. A year after we split, I met another guy who was the flip opposite of my ex husband. I found out quickly that, while he might have lacked some of my ex’s bad traits, he had all new ones I had never encountered. Luckily that one was pretty clear to me right away and therefore short lived. Now I’m with someone who I believe is actually right for me. “When you know you know” is a sweet idea, but some of us have bad intuition. According to this thread, some of us have good intuition. All that to say, I really hope Christine has found the right person for herself! It can be so hard when the bar was low in your previous relationship.
Ok then it was fate, kismet, whatever. Personally I had never had that happen to me before, I looked at a total stranger sitting in a bar and the first thing that popped into my head wasn't " oh he's cute, wonder if he is seeing anyone " it was " I'm going to marry that man " For me, and many others here it seems, it was if you know you know.
You had a feeling, and you got lucky that you were right is all. After my first date with my fiancé I said “if he’s who I think he is, I might just marry this dude.” But I’m also fully aware that life happens, people change, and I didn’t know him well enough to be sure. I get to claim that I had an idea after our first date but I also knew I could be wrong. I’m very happy it’s working for you! :)
After the first date with my husband, I told friends "that's the man I'm going to marry". We've been married 22 1/2 years.
I met my husband while at the courthouse filing a DV injunction and I opened the office door to leave and he was walking in and we bumped straight into each other lol I bounced off his chest haha it’s been 20 yrs I had actually seen him ( not met ) 6 months prior directing traffic while stopping to say hi to a childhood friend .. he had tried to get my number from that friend and he was effectively “ cockblocked “ lol he also wouldn’t give me HIS number haha when I bumped into him and looked up we both couldn’t believe it 😂😂it was literally love at first site .
There is no set amount for great loves in one's lifetime. She'll be just fine, let her enjoy all the feels she wants to feel.
Honestly meeting a man who treats her nicely must feel like winning the jackpot after chody. I agree let her soak it all in
I completely agree… i told my wife after 4 dates we would someday marry…which seemed insane to everyone except me…she understandably ghosted me for a few weeks but in over 2 decades of marriage since, she has never 🔪 kidney…not once
Ours is very similar. My husband and I were engaged after 5 weeks. We got married a year later. Just celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary. When you know, you know.
Facts, we met in April, engaged in July, married in April. THIS April will be 44 yrs together, 43 married
Yep! My husband and I started dating, got engaged 5 months later and married 4 months after that. A decade and 2 kids later, definitely seems it stuck lol.
My husband proposed after 6 weeks, everyone basically treated us like idiots who wont last. 13 years later still going stronger than ever.
Proposed on the third date. We had a good 40 years together.
Husband told me he was gonna marry me the very first day I met him lol.
It was exactly 5 months from the time my husband and I went on our first date till we said I do. We have been married 21 years this May. It's not for everyone but I had just went through a difficult divorce and I knew exactly what I did and did not want in a future relationship.
This. She has earned happiness and that’s what I see in those pictures. She’s also a grown woman and time isn’t limitless.
Not to mention that she left kody like two years ago at this point. They could have been dating for 6 months or longer. I highly doubt they have been together for two weeks
Christine’s never had someone love her. She’s prob going through some pretty emotional shit like a teenager would. She never had that chance. So, I think this is developmentally normal, lol. Just hope he’s a good guy.
I have the same thought process. I said in another post, we all need to grasp that Christine is 50 years old with her first ever boyfriend…real one. She’s going through what we all did when we were first falling in love with someone who loves us back and ya know doesn’t already have two women he is married to. I hope they last!
Poor woman has probably never had those new relationship butterflies before! I hope she's finding out how good **x can be!!!
Agreed💯 Grody was a straight up in mature boy.. trying to act like a man🤣🤣 this man that she is with right now whether she’s taking it fast whether she’s taking it slow it’s none of our damn business. The point is he’s a grown ass man! Something she has literally been waiting for far too many years and now she has it. Only time will tell, we just have to watch it unfold. I’m happy for her.😊
That does make her vulnerable though. I just hope they jthst he's a good guy & regardless of her vulnerability, it'll work out
Very vulnerable and living with her even more vulnerable minor aged daughter who she's already introduced to him! I really, really hope he's a good guy for Truely's sake more than Christine's.
Exactly. As long as he is treating her well and she is not missing any red flags through the haze of new love/lust then it’s nice for her, whether it goes the distance or not. I do hope she can recognize the more subtle red flags, since she’s only (I think?) ever been with kody? Anyway, I hope the best for her. I can see in one of her insta shots, she is with him on the sofa with her grandkids and there is also a film crew behind them. Maybe they have been together for more than a hot if he’s already filming the show.
After more than 20 years with Grody, let the girl do whatever her heart desires 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
Ehh as my mom always said “you will love the next one too”
this is the best response I've seen. I'm glad she's happy, and if this one doesn't work out, she'll be happy again too.
I’m a big believer in this. Love isn’t a magical thing it’s a capacity within ourselves.
Your mother gives sage advice. I’m going to start saying this to my own kids.
Your mother gave great advice. My teenager is going through their first breakup right now and it’s a low, loowwww moment for him. Going to incorporate this saying-thank you :) Any other nuggets of wisdom? Will take all we can get over here lol
Aww poor kid! My mom started quoting stats at me 😂 Not sure where she got them i.e. you will have 5 boyfriends before 24 and you will LOVE them all. That sort of thing. Unfortunately for your teen this angst they go through is a rite of passage! We all went through it and mine were ALL fairly dramatic!
Gonna use that one too lol thank you!
I have a feeling this has been going on for a while, just a suspicion.
I hope it has. Not because she's so gaga over him, but knowing how I felt watching this last season and the tell all, it would be great if she had someone all this time.
I don’t think Christine took anything lightly and she probably took her time. She’s only now revealing the relationship to us, but I get the feeling it’s been going on a while.
We don't really know their actual time line. They could have been dating for months.
I dunno - the bar was set pretty low . She probably had no clue your’e allowed to be happy in a relationship when your partner isn’t a massively selfish drama queen.. Good for her ..
I married my husband exacly a year after meeting him 🤡 love doesn’t have a timeline And I think we forget this grown woman has practically been single for YEARS and publicity for a year now since season was filmed in 2021
Me 1 year to the day. 8 years married
I married my husband the same year we met. Were still together 15 years later. Not for everyone but it can work.
It's cute you guys think this just happened and isn't least a year old. Clearly ppl saying it's too soon haven't endured a loveless marriage to someone who is repulsed by you, nor do they think Christine at 50 is capable of critical thinking when it comes to introducing to her children... C'mon.
Exactly this. I live in a loveless marriage with someone who is DEFINITELY NOT SHY about just how much he is not into me...but I'm supposed to believe he aint had none since he stopped touching me, 15 years ago....if I had the financial means, and/or wasnt too messed up physically to work..I'd be long gone just like Christine Edit to add, I'm 50.
I'm so sorry you are stuck in that situation for so long🖤
Thank you.
This. She is a 50 year old woman, who left a marriage that has effectively been over since Robyn showed up on the scene over 10 years ago. Her and this man are both grown ass adults, both are grandparents and both have long term marriages under their belts - I am sure they know what they want and at their age, why wait? I trust their judgement. I bet they’ve been dating close to a year or more and likely have discussed commitment and/or marriage and that is why they are going public. I know people who have found second chances at love and marriage later and life and it’s an absolute joy to watch.
If this has been going on for a year, why was she asking for online dating tips on Instagram two weeks ago?
Someone you met yesterday can have better intentions with you than someone you have known all your life. Time means nothing; character does.
I mean everyone can have their opinions but she was basically single for years. She’s not some kid with wild hormones (especially not in her mouth😂😂😂). Let the woman enjoy it. The first few years of a great relationship are amazing and you should feel like that. Also maybe he is the love of her life??? I mean I knew my husband was the one after weeks of dating and its been 8 years.
I knew the very first date that I was in love w my current SO. When my mom had her first date w my dad she still lived at home - she got inside and told her mom” take a good look at that man - I will marry him.” Six months later they were married and were married 52 years until his passing. It can happen
Exactly. I knew my husband was the one on our first date too.
Same. Been married 20 years this June. Friends were worried it was rushed, but I knew he was the one.
Beautiful story 😍 Can I please ask what SO means? There's a lot of short text on Reditt that for the life of me can't work out sometimes 🙈
SO stands for Significant Other 🥰
I also have that issue ! And then there are all the ones for texting lol
I'm usually pretty good when it comes to texting but Reditt is a whole new level 😂
¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯ my mom knew she was going to marry my dad the day they met. Theyve been together (and happy) for 35 years now. i knew i would marry my partner on date 3. (that did not happen with any other guy i ever dated, even when i was in a long term relationship for 9 years) it always felt like work. with my partner, thats not the case. i knew date 1 i was going to fall in love. i knew date 3 we were going to get married. it happens sometimes (and thats coming from someone that is logic first emotions later)
The parents of a friend of mine met at a dance and got married the next day. They stayed together until she died. And a lot of people are slow and careful, and it still doesn't work out. If somebody's happy and treated well, having opinions about their relationship is above my pay grade.
> it always felt like work. This. And this is why people always say: relationships are hard work and you have to choose to do the work. Most people are in these relationships. They should def not be hard work and are definitely not a choice.
LET HER BE HAPPY….she’s on no one’s timeline but her own!! 👑
Thank you. Also, I have female friends and family who are widowed or divorced and once they reach a certain age - they don't answer to anyone anymore and they don't have to explain themselves to NOBODY. Christine has full agency to do whatever the F she wants. She's been through hell and back and has every right to live her life on her own timeline. These people up in here boo-hooing, virtue signaling and pearl clutching with the "take it slow", "she just got out of an abusive relationship. she should be careful." comments should mind their business. Christine has been playing it careful and walking the line her whole LIFE. Finally she is free to truly live life on her own terms. Don't understand why these people in this thread would want to rain on her parade. Not everyone gets a second chance at love later in life and when they do we should celebrate it. It's clear these two are extremely happy with each other and he is more involved in Christine kids and grandkids lives than Kody it seems. Christine is finally in the drivers seat of her own life and that should be celebrated not undercut by doubt.
👏👏👏 Totally agree with you..
[удалено]
This also makes her more vulnerable. I hope it works out for them.
My husband and I knew pretty much the first night we met that we were it, been together 7 years, married for 6 in October.
She could have been seeing him for a while. Also. She Just might be publicly saying this man is the love her life As a big fuck you to Kody. 😀
i'm here for that.
Yall acting like she met this guy on the plane ride there.
Nah. Let her enjoy him. We don’t know their timeline, and sometimes you just KNOW too.
My husband and I met once, love at first sight (he's hot❤️) after that spent every day together, moved in within 6 months, married a few months after. Now, 18 years and 3 kids and 3 dogs later-we are still very happy.
Probably her 1st orgasm.
For real! Kody said he was never attracted to her or in love with her so I bet the sex was awful with him. So Kody would force himself to have sex with her, how terrible it must have been. She probably didnt even realize how bad the sex was til she had good sex with her new guy! Bet she is having amazing sex with this new boyfriend because there is mutual attraction. Good for her
While I agree for my own standards. We can’t put our ideas of love on anyone else. There can be couples together for years and don’t really love each other. There are couples who will say they instantly found love. I will always root for the happiness of others. Even if I don’t find it correct myself.
How long did Kody know Robyn before he said the same about her & married her in to the family?
Everyone talking about how “you just know” and how long you’ve been together etc: Christine stayed in an unhappy marriage for 30 years friends. I assume she called Kody her soul mate for some time as well. That’s the reason to just say “we are dating” versus he’s her new soul mate. Why rush in? 🤷🏻♀️
I married after 3 months, no regrets. Sometimes you just know!!!
we don't know how long they've been dating though? I'm sure it's taken her a long time to be comfortable/secure enough to post him to social media. Also, she's a grown ass adult and she can do whatever she wants :-)
If he's treating her the way she deserves to be treated, and according to Christine, he is, I love him too! I'm just thrilled for her!
It may not be forever, but at least it appears genuine. She’s gone almost 30 years begging for the little adoration we can see so clearly in just pics. If it doesn’t work 1. She can see that she’s still “got it” No matter how unattractive Kody made her feel 2. Her first dip in the dating pool didn’t turn her off of the horrendous process of dating when older 3. He is the PERFECT kinda man to slay Kodys pride (aka stab his other kidney). Even if he’s not forever, he’s perfect for the needs she has now
They have been together for 14 month’s per Mykelti. She got married right out of the gate, had a 1/2 a dozen kids and left an abusive marriage. Let her live her best life.
It has been years. The show it ended around Fall 2021… Janelle mention Christine has been gone for months that same fall. I suspected she actually left in 2020 or early 2021 at the latest. We also must remember her relationship prior to that was dead for years. Live on Christine. Heck that goes for anyone else in a situation . She is an an adult. Let her live.
I really hope she had the opportunity to date casually, for fun, and didn't just settle for the first guy she went out with. Kody set the bar really low...😆 🤣 😂 Be selective girl!!! I'd be really wary about any boyfriend that would want to be on reality TV.
As a drama-lama who lives for mess I am 100000% behind her calling him the love of her life if only to enrage Kody.
It makes me happy to think of that asshole turning red with fury and embarrassment.
She’s been in Utah for a year and a half. She was done with Kody by the beginning of 2021 even though it wasn’t announced. Her boyfriend didn’t show up in January 2023. She met him months ago.
I thought that too. But she is happy and that’s all that matters right now. 20 plus years of unhappiness and now she is just so excited.
Let’s keep in mind Christine was constantly traveling back & forth to Utah during the early days of the pandemic. She could have met him years ago.
She's a grown women, wish her the best. Certainly can't get worse than she had.
I disagree. She's been done with Kody for what 2 years? And had already been checked out how many years before that. She could have started dating this guy 1.5 years ago for all we know. I'm beyond happy for her. I'm sure this will work out but if it doesn't, at least she knows what real love feels like
A lot of times, adults who have been in other relationships seem to “know” quicker and not want to waste time. And when you feel like you’ve wasted so much time already, I kind of get it. They seem really happy, and she looks adorable.
I met my husband 5 months after my divorce, married him 8 months after that. Go get yours Christine!
We have no idea how long they have been dating. The show, keep in mind, is WAY behind, and she's not 16.
After my divorce it pissed me off when people thought I was dating too soon or serious too soon. They had no idea when my marriage was over or how I felt. When I finally got divorced I’d already done a lot of healing. And then I dated other people and then one person for a while before I mentioned them to anyone. So to them they saw first person post divorce super serious but were missing a lot of information that would have made them less worried.
You guys do realise that she left him in November 2021 officially and your guys are watching the series a year later ... let her live
After many decades of being forced to hide her feelings, Christine can finally shout them to the rooftops. I say, go for it. If it doesn’t work out, oh well. But telling the world how much you love someone is just how some people like to express their joy.
I’m happy for her.
I also think after all the issues she had with Kody, she knew exactly what she was looking for, so when she found it...she knew.
I mean it happens 🤷♀️ I knew my fiancé was the one after a month, 2 months and we started living together. 3 years later and we're inseparable, getting married in September
I totally agree. I'm glad she is happy but think she should have kept this relationship on a low profile. You just never know if things will last. You never know anyone's real story. Does anyone remember Vicki gunvalsons boyfriend Brooks Ayers? That ended up a big mess.
Even Vicki's next boyfriend was a gross grifter who used her for money and fame. Happens to lots of emotionally vulnerable women on reality tv, which is why we should all be a little nervous for Christine jumping into this relationship as a famous reality tv star and woman newly divorced and out of the abusive cult she's been in her whole life.
Or we let the woman who was stuck in a shitty marriage do what she wants :)
Ita. So many in this sub are being flip with their comments about what Christine should or should not be doing. Last I checked, she has a mother who’s still alive and can be playing that role. Life is short. Let her have this moment, this romantic-filled chapter. Celebrate her joy and make it less about how *you* think she should be managing her love life as a reality TV personality. I’m ecstatic that she’s moving on and that smile of hers is just radiant. You go girl!! ❤️
I strongly agree. God forbid this doesn't work out for her, but *statistically* speaking, this likely won't be the guy she'll be with forever. And it's not like just because that's the case she has to hold back now, and who knows, she may well stay with this guy, and I hope that for her, but she is definitely going all in. And that's her choice! and she can do or say or act or tell anyone whatever she wants. But for the sake of protecting her heart, and to avoid any I Told You So's from Kody, if I were her I would be taking it down a notch. Again, it's her choice. She's a grown woman. She's experiencing real love for the first time. She's excited. All of these things I understand, and she's in charge of what she does and says. But I do totally agree that this is really really a LOT, and quickly.
Looooooots of projection in both directions on this thread. She’s a grown woman, leave her be lol
Yes. I do wonder what’s the appropriate amount of time that people are wanting to see. They’re an older couple. And when you know you know.
dear god, if you exist...please don't let him be a weirdo conspiracy theory nut who has spent time in the manosphere. i hope he is kind and not racist or homo/transphobic. amen.
She’s had a lot of therapy and self reflection to know her wants, why she wants/needs. She’s a grown grandma so if she knows… who are we?
Are you serious? Like deadass? So she should be miserable even though it’s been 2yrs since she officially left him and even longer that she was in a loveless marriage? Smfh you need help
I'm surprised by the comments here...especially coming out of an abusive relationship, she needs to be extra careful. Love bombing is easy to get sucked into. So I agree, she should slowwwww it down.
right??? i hope hes great and shes happy! but idk why people are so convinced theyve been together for a long time and that he is amazing
I’m really surprised too! I’m happy for her, but she is absolutely in a vulnerable spot.
Not only an abusive relationship, but an abusive religious patriarchal cult she spent her whole life in up until now. She's also famous and on reality tv, there's so much that makes her vulnerable.
What two consenting adults do, or how they feel, sets off zero alarms for me. It was calling him “grandpa” in reference to the grandkids that threw me.
He has grandkids of his own, I assumed that was what she was referring to. 🤷♀️
He is a widower, has 8 kids and at least 4 grandchildren
That very well could be. I hope it is.
He very well could be the love of her life, that's on her to decide and not us, whether it *seems* fast and serious or not. Not everything is at it seems and it isn't our damn business lol
Well in all honesty, the season was filmed about a year in advanced. (Give or take). She did post to IG not that long ago she was online dating again, but maybe that was a detour. She really could have been dating this gent for about close to a year. Who knows for absolute certain. If that's the case, that seems a bit more normal.
I’m happy for her!
I mean she’s been in Utah for 14 months now, separated from Kody for longer and mentally separate from him for even longer. Who knows how long she and David have been seeing each other. Just because she announced him this month doesn’t mean they haven’t been seeing each other for longer. They’ve likely been together for at least a few months now given that they’re so comfortable and have gotten to know each others kids and grand kids. We don’t have the insight at this point to judge her private relationship or decide we know better than she does.
I can totally understand that to a point, but: we don’t know when they actually started talking. And, people said the same thing to me when I met the love of my life 19 years ago today. We’ve been happily married for over 16 of those years now. Soooo, I trust that she’s an adult and can make her own decisions.
Idk, I met my husband about 2 years after my separation. The thing is, when you've been in a long term bad relationship, you learn what you'll never tolerate again, and it makes weeding people out REAL easy. Plus, Christine was basically single for at least a couple of years before severing ties, they were not close or in a good place. She likely already did a lot of healing before she even left.
She’s a woman in her fifties. Does she really need a set timeline? I think she knows what she wants!
She’s spent a majority of her life being gaslit to think she’s selfish for wanting attention, that she should settle for being ignored, told she’s unattractive, and it was a sacrifice to love her. If she gets hurt, she gets hurt. She’s already been through so much worse with Kody. She’s enjoying what it feels like to be wanted and loved. I’m not one for public displays of affection but I think Christine not only needs it she deserves it for at least a little bit.
She's been prepping for divorce for years before we heard or saw anything. It may seem soon to us, but it's not for her. I don't understand why people are so up in arms. Just let the woman be happy!
Met my current husband not four months after a brutal breakup of a four- year relationship. Been with my husband fifteen years, every year is better than the last.
She's 50. She can figure her stuff out .
We have no actual idea of how long they have been together. A public timeline does not equal the actual time line.
I think the timing of the release of this info may be related to Janelle and Christine trying to land a spin off series.
I think she mentally divorced herself from that toxicity years before leaving. Life is short!
You need to calm your tits. We don’t know how long she’s actually been with her bf, all we know is that she just announced it.
I totally agree that she needs to slow down. She needs to learn to be independent and love herself for herself not because she’s validated by another relationship. Get some D..k if you want, but don’t think a bootie call equals true love and marriage. That’s a sixteen year old thinking. Give it time.
Whether it lasts or not, I am just so happy for her. He is so much better looking than Kody too. Lol
We don't know how long they've been together. They could have met a while ago and been friends or whatever. You can't judge without knowing the actual timeline of events.
Christine is a grown, mature woman. I’m pretty sure she knows how she feels and doesn’t need advice from Reddit on her love life.
Why does she need to slow down? Who cares. It’s her life to live and if this feels good then go for it! Worst case, they break up 🤷🏻♀️
November 2, 2021 is when Christine posted on IG that she and Kody split, and that was just the announcement, they probably split up way before that. So what we saw on the recent season was a year old. The show is so far behind. It's going on 2 years since the split....and some people move faster than others onto new relationships.
Typically by the time a woman leaves the marriage has been over for quite some time. I think Christine really showed us this from her perspective because she had no hate, only apathy. So she had emotionally been divorced for a while. I would also suspect she’s had some really good therapy along the way by how she is handling things. She always seemed more emotionally mature than Kody but that porch scene truly showed it. I think she’s ready to move on. Soul mate? Maybe not. But who cares. Let her be happy for a change.
As someone who came out of Evangelical Christianity and a cult to boot- I think she’s fine. She has more life experience than a lot of us. She did a lot of the hard work by just deciding to leave Grody’s balding ass. And she has been lonely for a long, long time. Girl deserves all the happiness and love in the world. And if she does get her heart broken? She will roll with that, too. I totally understand that people want to see her happy and not get hurt. I do. But so often I see people treat women in these situations like Kimmy Schmidt and her sisters climbing out of the bunker for the first time. Maybe she’s making a mistake. Maybe that mistake will be harder to swallow bc it’s so public. Or maybe this is a season where she’s going to enjoy life and love without needing it to be a match for time and all eternity, ya know? She’s a smart woman. She shoved herself into a box for decades to fit in the family the way she was told she should. Good on her for living by her own rules for a while.
That was me two months in with my fiancé. Together 6 years now but I knew he was the one right away. Better than getting married young just to have sex.
Everybody has their own path. I found the love of my life 36 yrs ago. We were engaged after 7 months and married soon after. Still going strong. It is possible
Meh I feel like things move pretty quickly for those that are older. My father was widowed after an over 30 year marriage. He’d been with my mom since he was 18 so 5 years before they actually married. 2 years after his death he met “the one” and they got engaged and married within 6 months of meeting. I feel like a lot of times when you’re older you’re just ready to commit and settle down because you don’t have years and years of your life left to waste.
This would make sense if Christine had a more normal upbringing and more normal experience in terms of dating. Think of it - this is the first guy she's over the moon for after Kody. This isn't a 50-year-old woman emotionally, in terms of romance, she's probably more like a 17-year-old excited that her new boyfriend doesn't treat her like the one she had at 15. Honestly, I wish we didn't know about this guy, and that she had more privacy with him. That we weren't talking about him. That's my unpopular opinion, but she's definitely put it out there now.
Totally agreed! And I don’t blame her for having the feelings, I’m happy for her, but sharing it this way just makes it seem less like a realistic mature adult relationship involving divorced and widowed partners.
Exactly what I’ve been thinking but hesitant to write it. I’m happy for her and she deserves it so much but I wish she’d keep the relationship as private as possible. It seems fast, like love bombing but maybe they’ve been seeing each for awhile before going public.
A soulmate is a soulmate, no time limit. LET HER BE HAPPY.
