Robyn is disappointed by Kody’s continued distancing from Meri. She expresses her frustration, saying, “It’s like Meri’s here and she’s still trying to hang on. And I just feel like there’s just so little left, and I’m trying to show her that there’s still some hope, and Kody is not helping me with that. It’s very frustrating, and some days it feels like a dealbreaker.”
Even though Meri correctly predicted Kody’s lack of enthusiasm for her move to Utah, it still hurts her to hear it. She admits, “I was really just kind of hoping that he would care a little bit more.”
Kody remains firm, emphasizing that he doesn’t see a future for himself and Meri. He says, “I think the writing is on the wall. It’s been obvious to me. When I try to go into that discussion with Meri, I get so much resistance. It’s not really fair to either of us. But as long as she wants to live in this denial, I guess I can live in it with her.”
Kody also expresses frustration that Robyn is advocating for reconciliation with Meri. He says, “What I’m seeing here is Robyn being an advocate of me and Meri in our reconciliation and in our marriage. And they’re making me feel very uncomfortable. I’ve got one wife that I’ve got a great relationship with (Robyn), and I’m afraid if I abandon these women that she’ll lose respect for me.”
In January 2023, Meri and Kody Brown announced their decision to “permanently terminate” their marriage, as revealed during Season 17 of “Sister Wives.” Kody described their marriage as “dysfunctional,” while Meri remained committed to working on their relationship, despite finding Kody’s approach to marriage “disturbing.”
