She did, however, confess that it was not as heartbreaking as Christine’s split. Janelle strongly believes in her religion, but refuses to accept the thought that she should “continue to make a marriage work.” She revealed,"I'm not interested in having anyone walk through that door."

Men should know they will lose every single time they ask a woman to choose between them or the kids. #Sisterwives3@Leah222S @TLC Yes, him forcing Janelle and Chiristine to choose between their kids and him, was a lowlight.

Then, Kody and Janelle open up about the conflict over holidays and reveal the status of their relationship."This week on Sister Wives, Kody stated that Christine should have put in more time and energy if she desired a strong marriage like Robyn's. Christine said that Robyn and Kody were perhaps soulmates, so she decided to divorce him. Robyn refused the “soulmate” statement and said that Kody had a special connection with each of his wives.She added that the other wives did not want to hang out with Kody, so they gave him to her. She also accused the other wives of nagging their husbands and not trying hard enough to save their marriages. Additionally, she urged others to stop comparing their marital relationships with hers because they had chosen their own paths in life without her interference.TLC is already shooting Sister Wives season 18 but no release date has been announced for the same.
