Sister Wives: “Don’t Leave Me This Way!”: How Kody Was Heartbroken by Garrison’s Death
SUMMARY
- Kody Brown favored Robyn over his other wives, neglecting affection and intimacy.
- Meri’s love life due to Kody’s abandonment has caused their relationship to become irreparably strained.
- Janelle left Kody after feeling abandoned during the pandemic, following Christine’s example.
Kody Brown is a controversial character on Sister Wives , and he is famous for breaking the hearts of three of his ex-wives, leading to their separation. Kody only loves Robyn Brown, his only remaining wife, and has betrayed his ex-wives in many shocking ways. His lack of love, respect, and care for Janelle Brown, Christine Brown, and Meri Brown directly contributed to their desire to leave the Sister Wives patriarch . While Garrison Brown’s tragic death brought the Brown family together, Kody hurt Janelle, Meri and Christine beyond repair before they lost a son.
Meri is Kody’s first wife; they married in April 1990 and divorced in 2014, when Kody legally married Robyn to adopt her three children. However, Meri and Kody remained mentally married until she left him in December 2022. Janelle and Kody married in January 1993, followed by Christine in March 1994. Kody and Robyn spiritually married in December 2010. Robyn’s inclusion into the Brown family caused friction between the wives, as Kody showed favoritism to his last wife. Ahead of Sister Wives season 19, it’s time to take a look back at how Kody broke his ex-wife’s heart.
He no longer feels attracted to her
In an episode of Sister Wives season 17, Christine admitted that Kody told her, “‘ I’m no longer interested in having an intimate marriage. ‘” She replied, ” I’m not okay with being in a marriage without intimacy .” .” Christine then moved Kody’s belongings out of the house, becoming the first wife to officially leave the Sister Wives patriarch .
” I’m not okay with staying in a marriage without intimacy .”
However, Kody’s perspective is different. He shared on the show: ” I never said no, that we wouldn’t be intimate anymore. I got to the point where I wanted her to address the rumors I heard from the kids that she was threatening.” “. leave ,” Kody explained. Either way, that was the last straw for Christine, and the confessional confirmed that the two hadn’t been intimate in a long time.
Trước cuộc chia tay bùng nổ, Christine đã cởi mở thảo luận về nỗi bất hạnh của mình khi thiếu sự gắn kết lãng mạn trong cuộc hôn nhân của họ . Tương tự, Kody thừa nhận rằng anh không còn hứng thú với mối quan hệ thể xác với Christine, có thể là do anh khao khát Robyn. Trong khi Kody có một người vợ khác để đáp ứng nhu cầu vật chất của anh thì Christine lại cảm thấy không được yêu thương và không được mong muốn.
Kody Brown sẽ không tha thứ cho Meri Brown vì chuyện tình cảm của cô ấy
Vụ bê bối Catfishing đã hủy hoại mối quan hệ của họ
Meri’s fallout with Kody was especially heartbreaking and embarrassing for the Sister Wives star. In 2015, Meri, feeling neglected and pushed out by Kody, began an emotional affair with someone she believed to be a man named Sam Cooper. This person turned out to be a woman named Jackie Overton, a notorious catfish. The relationship lasted six months, during which Meri shared intimate and compromising photos and voicemails, unaware that she was being scammed.
Meri entered into an emotional affair because she felt neglected and unloved by Kody, whose focus had entirely shifted to his marriage with Robyn.
Jackie, posing as Sam, leaked private and embarrassing photos of Meri, which included her kissing a banana and showing her leg in a bathtub with the name “Sam” written on it. These revelations not only humiliated Meri but exposed her deep dissatisfaction with her marriage to Kody, as Meri was heard in voicemails expressing her desire to leave Kody.
Kody, who already had a strained relationship with Meri due to her inability to have more children and his commitment to Robyn, found it impossible to forgive Meri. However, the affair just highlighted existing issues in their relationship. Despite Meri’s efforts to mend their relationship, Kody’s disapproval and emotional distance persisted.
Meri’s relationship with Kody never recovered, but his first wife wouldn’t have had an emotional affair if he had shown any love and affection towards her. Kody openly admitted he was no longer attracted to Meri, which she had learned to accept. However, the catfishing scandal was the catalyst Meri needed to leave her disrespectful, unloving husband.
Kody Brown Abandoned Janelle During The Pandemic
He Focused On His Marriage To Robyn
Janelle’s decision to leave Kody was directly tied to his abandonment during the COVID-19 pandemic and following in Christine’s footsteps. She ended her spiritual marriage to Kody after years of tension, with their relationship crumbling after he increasingly favored Robyn. Kody’s decision to quarantine exclusively with Robyn left Janelle feeling abandoned and neglected. His absence highlighted Kody’s growing emotional distance and lack of support for Janelle and their children.
After Christine leaves Kody, Janelle finds inspiration in Christine’s newfound independence. Seeing Christine’s positive change and personal growth after leaving Kody, Janelle followed suit, although she floundered during seasons 17 and 18 of Sister Wives with this decision. Similar to Christine, Janelle was completely abandoned by her husband for physical intimacy and affection and felt she deserved better. He broke her heart long before the pandemic, but her place in the patriarch’s life became clear when he chose to quarantine with Robyn.
Kody was not a good husband to Janelle, Meri or Christine, breaking their hearts years before the separation and Garrison’s death occurred. He married in his first three lives to fulfill his religious beliefs but did not truly feel love until connecting with Robyn. While this is understandable, it left his first three wives feeling lonely and unappreciated. Luckily, Christine married David Woolley, and Janelle and Meri embarked on a journey of personal development. Kody is still happy that Robyn is the last wife standing on Sister Wives .
