Meri, Janelle, and Christine Brown, the stars of Sister Wives, have been shining with newfound freedom since divorcing from their ex-husband, Kody Brown. During the first season of the show, Robyn Brown joined the family as the fourth wife, creating a new dynamic in their polygamous family structure. The Browns, who had previously lived with only three women, took some time to adjust to life with four wives.

Despite favoring Robyn, Kody professed to love all of his spouses equally. Christine finally left Kody. She felt ignored and unloved after he stated that he couldn't maintain an intimate relationship with her, which Meri and Janelle both expressed.

Sister Wives family dynamics: Complexities and resilience

The journey of the Sister Wives family illustrates the difficulties and pleasures associated with leading a polygamous lifestyle, illuminating the complexities of these relationships. They have demonstrated resilience and a dedication to pursuing their own routes to contentment and pleasure via their experiences.

Although her husband denied having a favorite wife, Christine was certain that he did. She was the only wife who would often confront Kody about his inappropriate behavior.

With the exception of Robyn, he had tense relationships with all of his wives following the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns. Meri and Janelle chose to forgo their marriages once Christine made the decision to leave him. Throughout Sister Wives, Kody gets into heated arguments with his ex-girlfriends, and when Robyn decides to file for divorce, he starts venting his resentment toward her. Never having looked better, Meri, Janelle, and Christine have moved on from the patriarch of the Brown family.

Meri didn't look the same with Kody around. She was treated as the least important women throughout her first marriage to him. When Meri talked about her relationship in her confessional moments on Sister Wives, she looked terrible. 

Meri's struggles in the marriage

When Meri fell for a fake online persona and practically betrayed Kody, their marriage took a negative turn. She started corresponding with a person she mistook for a man but was actually a woman. Her spouse never offered her forgiveness after finding out about the catfish controversy. Although Meri believed they had a possibility to work things out, Kody had already looked into the marriage.

The head of the Brown family neglected to pick up the phone to wish his wife a happy anniversary on their 32nd wedding anniversary. Meri waited for him to celebrate the occasion all day. 

Meri remembered that when she had asked him to dinner, he had said he was "watching the kids" he shared with Robyn and that he would need her permission to go. During an interview, he stated that he "needed a reason to be able to say no" to his first wife over dinner.

He reportedly told Meri, "I don't understand why you even bother to wish me a happy anniversary over the phone."

During their breakfast together, Kody told Meri that he was tired of "faking relationships." His statements had perplexed her because she believed they were still faithful to each other, but he seemed to think otherwise.

Meri reflected on the years he had played with her feelings, feeling that he ought to have been forthright about them. Although she accepted that she wasn't the ideal wife, she believed that she didn't deserve half of Kody's treatment of her.
