Last week on the Season 17 premiere of Sister Wives, a marriage officially ended. Kody tried to make sense of why he had been moved out of Christine’s home. She felt her reasons were extremely valid but Kody needed to have a sit down with his third wife. Despite knowing it was best that they part ways, Kody’s pride seemingly kept him hanging on. Now, in episode two, they are sitting back down again and Kody is starting to question how he can move past this. Read on for more details.
Hanging On For Sister Wives
When Kody went by Christine’s, he needed answers. He could not understand what led her to leave his stuff in the basement without any warning. She explained that things had been going downhill for over a decade. Yet, it was his withdrawal of intimacy from their marriage that was the final straw. She could not live in a marriage like this and he had all of these stipulations for getting the intimacy back. To be fair, she did not believe him. Furthermore, she felt making the marriage work was contingent on her being kinder to a particular wife, his favorite one.
She was not bending over backward but Kody just kept fighting for something that was not working. Christine asked why when he knew full well that it was over. He alleged that he did not want his family pulled apart but the fact is there were only a few young minor Brown children. It also did not help Christine said she was moving to Utah. This week, Kody was back at Christine’s, trying to settle everything. He admits to the camera that this is all a major injustice. Yet he tells Christine he ultimately wants her to be happy which she is beyond flattered by.
Finally, Kody reveals that he thinks he is going to need grief counseling after this marriage. He has no idea why but it has really done a number on him. It seems that he knows they are better off apart and she needs to move on and be happy. However, he is still putting up a fight to keep her around. What is wrong with this picture? Maybe a loss of control? Or moving into the unknown.
Christine Needs To Go
Her older kids have seen what she has gone through with Kody and they have no idea how she handled it. However, one person in the dark about it is their youngest daughter, Truely. She has friends who have divorced parents and thinks that it is the worst thing possible. So, when it is really the proper time, Christine will break the news to her. For now, she will just make everything as positive as possible. The truth of the matter is that Kody was not around all that much prior to the pandemic so her kids don’t know the difference.
It seems Christine has made it through just fine but will Kody actually seek counseling? Let us know your thoughts and watch Sister Wives Sunday on TLC.
