Sister Wives’ Christine Brown Says Kody Brown Sex Life Had No Emotion

by

Christine Brown is reflecting on the end of her marriage with Kody Brown. 

After parting ways from the patriarch of the Sister Wives, Christine can now look back and identify the voids she experienced in her relationship with Kody, particularly in intimate moments.

She shared with Sukanya Krishnan during the third episode of Sister Wives (on June 8) that it wasn’t a genuine emotional, romantic, physical, financial bond. At that time, she was self-reliant and none of those aspects were addressed for her.

Even though Christine had once felt secure and cared for by Kody in a physical sense earlier on, she admitted that this shifted significantly as their relationship came to an end. Now, at 53 years old, having moved on with her life and married David Woolley, she pointed out this change in dynamics.

She expressed that it was merely a performance, with no genuine feelings or emotions involved.

Regarding intimate moments with Kody, who is now exclusively married to Robyn Brown following his splits with Christine, Meri, and Janelle, Christine expressed feelings of being “utilized, indifferent. It was more like, ‘I suppose we just need to.’

By 2021, when she made up her mind to dissolve her spiritual bond with Kody, their union had become severely damaged and unrepairable.

In my professional opinion, it’s evident that there’s an unspoken issue at hand. You see, we both sensed a void, and when intimate encounters occur barely half a dozen times annually, it becomes clear that this could be indicative of a challenge to address.

Still, Christine tried to mend things before realizing they were broken beyond repair. 

She remembered their discussion about intimacy as being something along the lines of, “Is there going to be any kind of physical intimacy – specifically, a sexual relationship – within our marriage?” She then recounted his response as, “No.” When he visited again, she expressed, “You’re no longer welcome. You won’t be staying here anymore. I don’t want you sharing my bed. It’s over between us.

Even though the definitive end didn’t arrive until close to a decade later, it was around 2014 that she observed the relationship dynamics shifting, as Kody and Robyn tied the knot. She acknowledged at the time, “Things were practically winding down.

Kody Brown expressed his readiness to separate from his first wife, Meri Brown, soon after their 1990 wedding vows. However, according to Meri, during the premiere on September 15, “he made me think that he would try to work things out by saying, ‘Oh Meri, when we move to Flagstaff, this will be an opportunity for us to start fresh.'” This was in reference to their relocation in 2018. “He has led me to believe such things many times over the years,” Meri added, suggesting that he had repeatedly done so for a long time.

She expressed her main concern as follows: “His poor communication skills and his inability to express his true feelings, desires, and dislikes, along with the narrative he’s maintained over the years.

Kody conceded there might have been some confusion in his actions, but when he began working on different tasks, he found himself questioning, “What’s the point?” He clarified that he wouldn’t pursue a relationship with her at this time.

Either way, Meri’s friends were thrilled when she finally pulled the plug in early 2023. 

She admitted, “They essentially said, ‘We’re here, we’ve got your back. And it’s high time,'” she confessed. Removing her blinders, she now believes that for years he had been subtly encouraging her to depart, by asserting that he didn’t love her, “Because if I leave on my own accord, then he’s not the villain because he didn’t abandon ship.

Several years after their acquisition of a 14-acre property intended for construction in Flagstaff, Ariz., Kody admitted during the season premiere that he was ready to let go of the dream. Since they hadn’t fully paid off the $820,000 purchase price (which they reportedly settled in 2023), he suggested to his remaining wife Robyn Brown, “I’d almost prefer to abandon it or sell it and then begin anew somewhere else.

As for Robyn, “I can’t talk about that,” she responded. “That is so not where I’m at.”

Previously, Janelle Brown shared with TopMob News that she and Kody grew increasingly distant, but it was primarily his shortcomings as a parent to certain children that led her to make the decision to depart.

In simpler terms, the mom told her children, Logan Brown, Madison Brown Brush, Hunter Brown, Garrison Brown, Gabriel Brown, and Savanah Brown, “The turning point for me occurred when his relationship with my kids deteriorated and it seemed like he wouldn’t go to great lengths to mend it.” She further added, “At that moment, I realized that was the main reason keeping me here.

In the Nov. 3 episode, Kody suggested reconciliation, but that was an unchangeable stance for Janelle.

She stated, “It’s hard for me to imagine finding common ground with him that doesn’t involve him being part of my children’s lives, and that’s something I won’t accept. My choice will always be my kids.

Kody provided this reason for not exerting more effort to repair the strained relationships he had with several of his grown-up kids: he wasn’t putting in extra work.

In the September 15th episode, he expressed his feelings of not belonging within the family anymore. Despite being legally married to Robyn and jointly parenting their five children – Dayton Brown, Aurora Brown, Breanna Brown, Solomon Brown, and Ariella Brown – he also mentioned having occasional connections with some other children in the family. Feeling lost about how to handle all these relationships, he stated that it didn’t feel like a family to him anymore.

In the 14-year journey of our union, for the first time, we’ve chosen monogamy, but surprisingly, it seems we’re navigating the roughest waters yet. The season 19 premiere saw me confessing this truth. Our relationship has been strained lately, and Kody is grappling with feelings of rejection because he isn’t sure if he should blame himself or one of his other partners. I believe he worries that I might reject him too, which adds to the tension between us.

In summary, she admitted that she’s always vigilant and ensuring he doesn’t undermine our relationship. The most challenging aspect, as she put it, is finding support for dealing with being married to a man who is going through multiple divorces.

Meanwhile, Kody struggled with self-doubt, expressing, “I find it hard to stand before a mirror and tell myself sincerely, ‘You’re great, buddy.’

In the October 27 episode, Robyn found it hard to observe as her ex-sister wives entered a new phase of life. She remarked, “They’re all advancing,” reflecting a sense of being left out or forgotten.

Include Madison, the eldest child of Janelle, in the list of kids Kody is currently not in contact with. As Janelle clarified during the premiere, Maddie hasn’t spoken to her father for a while. There have been no calls between them, and there’s no existing relationship between Maddie and Kody or Robin. She has essentially cut ties with both of them.

Janelle pointed out that Kody is only partially involved in the relationships with Maddie’s children, Axel, Evangalynn, and Josephine. She expressed that he should not have any contact unless he is willing to fully commit.

In the September 22 broadcast, Janelle revealed that Kody had effectively ended their conversation with Maddie and her spouse Caleb Brush, whose sister was tied in matrimony to Kody’s sibling, as the family unit began to disintegrate.

As for me, in Kody’s absence, I’ve taken on the role of a protective mother figure to an extraordinary degree, as Janelle put it. I’ve felt that until he can reliably visit, call without drama, and maintain consistency, it might be best for us if we keep our interactions with him limited.

Additionally, Robyn mentioned that she’s been urging Kody to take steps to repair their relationship. She further added, “It seems fitting for our children to do the same as well.

Currently, Kody appears unwilling to mend the rift, complaining that whenever he talks to his daughter, the conversation seems more like spreading rumors rather than meaningful dialogue, leaving him feeling fatigued.

During their 32nd anniversary celebration, Meri confided in her friend Brandi that “He had hinted throughout our marriage that he didn’t truly love me and felt obligated to marry me,” she explained. “To which I responded, ‘Kody, I know you cared for me.’

And if he didn’t, the mom to Leon Brown said in a confessional, why did he ever propose? 

She pondered, “Why would a solitary man decide to marry a solitary woman if he didn’t have feelings for her initially, instead of simply declaring and trying to compel affection for the subsequent 32 years? Seems harsh, doesn’t it? To select me from a sea of faces and then say, ‘I choose you, in the hope that I can manipulate myself into loving you for decades to come’?

In his private reflection, Kody stated: “Now Meri is making some allegations. Well, let her say what she pleases. I’ll refrain from responding to them.

Though, he would share that they never enjoyed a honeymoon period. 

He emphatically stated during the October 20th episode that their marriage was troubled from the very beginning. He explained that he had a much stronger connection with Janelle, Christine, and Robyn, which is why he knew this to be true.

He acknowledged that he “should have ended the relationship twenty-five years back,” yet he persisted due to fear, mentioning, “Authority figures would not permit remarriage if one keeps leaving spouses.

Even though Janelle was uncertain whether to develop Coyote Pass or just sell it, she realized the first step was clearing her Arizona property debt. As Kody refused to discuss the matter with her, she admitted to Christine Brown on September 22 that “I believe I’ll need a lawyer.” She added, “Because I think that’s the only way I can possibly get any kind of decision out of him.

In simpler terms, Janelle admitted that since she doesn’t have a legally binding marriage with Kody, she has no right to make any kind of claim on his property. To explain further, she said, “It’s not as simple as calling a lawyer and filing for divorce. The situation is complex because there isn’t a legal marriage in the first place.

Kody reasons that he doesn’t feel comfortable discussing the Arizona property with Janelle because he no longer has faith in her.

He firmly stated during the September 22 episode, “I’ll settle the property when necessary,” and he emphasized that he doesn’t wish to share any details about his actions or plans as he’s grown weary of information being misconstrued and spread through the rumor mill by our fractured family.

A bit of a pot calling the kettle black, Janelle said in her own interview. 

She said, “He spills secrets as if he were a colander,” implying that he shared information about his past relationships and multiple spouses that she felt was inappropriate for her to know.

In the days when the family’s love was growing stronger instead of weakening, they would combine all their earnings in a shared fund.

On that September 22nd broadcast, I shared a long-standing tradition: “Whatever it takes, we’d pool our resources to aid one individual, and then unite as one to back the other.” This was our practice for years upon years. But within the last decade or so, things have shifted dramatically. Now, it seems everyone is more concerned with building their own fortune rather than working together, as it used to be about my legacy.

When Robyn needed a house in Arizona, everyone chipped in to purchase a $1.65 million, five-bedroom property that went on sale in August.

Initially, Robyn implied that acquiring the asset would benefit the entire family. However, when Janelle proposed that they all share the mortgage, she was met with opposition. Kody responded, “‘No, no, we need to safeguard, understandably protect Robyn’s inheritance,'” Janelle remembered. Now that she’s leaving the family, Janelle stated that she wants her share of the Coyote Pass earnings and also wishes to recover the money she invested in Robyn’s house.

But that could be a tough sell. 

In her remarks, Robyn observed, “We’ve been collaborating for quite some time now.” And when Janelle mentioned she was due compensation from them, Robyn expressed her perplexity by saying, “It’s just so hard to comprehend! I can’t seem to make sense of it all. It’s such a puzzling situation.

Discussing their financial struggles with Coyote Pass, Janelle pointed out that although Kody often complains about having multiple debts, she’s observed him acquiring other assets such as trailers and interior decorations. “I notice all the artwork on Robyn and Kody’s walls,” she mentioned. “I see all these things. And I get it, I’ve spent money on items myself too.” (In response, Kody admitted that a significant portion of his funds were used for purchasing cars – “essentially a fleet” – and insuring the children.)

As a devoted follower, I’ve often found myself in awe of Robyn’s backyard. It’s always immaculately finished and filled with various items. I used to be taken aback, thinking, “Wow, really? Huh.” However, I must admit that I was uncertain about how Kody and she managed their finances.

Essentially, she expressed that he didn’t make her needs or desires a priority, which over time became a significant concern for her. She explained, “I guess after some time, I started to realize this, and even my grown children were becoming quite upset about it, as if to say, ‘Mom, what on earth are you doing?’

Robyn approached managing her finances cautiously following the breakdown of her first marriage.

She admitted during the Sept. 22 episode, “I wasn’t very good with finances in the past.” Growing up, she experienced tough times, and it was only through her divorce that she truly mastered budgeting skills. Regarding her fellow sister wives, she explained, “Perhaps you prioritized your money differently than I did.

Currently, Janelle stated during the September 22 episode that she and Meri, Robyn, and Kody (parents of Aspyn Brown, Mykelti Brown Padron, Paedon Brown, Gwendlyn Brown, Ysabel Brown, and Truely Brown) seldom interact as families. She added that she doesn’t anticipate this situation changing significantly in the near future.

Speaking fondly about a period in Las Vegas where four homes on a single cul-de-sac resided, Kody reminisced, “Life was smooth-sailing, with Maddie and Caleb present, it was simply wonderful having them around. Caleb was like family to me, and I grew very fond of him.

However, discord arose in Arizona concerning coronavirus safety measures, which eventually led to a deterioration of circumstances. In turn, when his marital unions disintegrated, he lamented that the connection with his children similarly soured, stating, “It simply led to all those relationships becoming bitter.

But Christine insisted their were issues well before she announced she was leaving in late 2021. 

On the September 22nd show, she remarked that the children who were already feeling frustrated were so even before I departed. She suggested that my departure had no impact on the dynamics of their relationship with Kody. Essentially, Kody has the ability to mend his relationships with his kids at any time.

Though it’ll definitely take some work. 

Kody expressed his frustration about how he’s been perceived, saying, “I’m still struggling to move past the way I’ve been wronged because I’m not prepared to shoulder blame for actions that my wife or ex-wife insists I took. I long for a time when the resentment fades away, and we can find forgiveness and love once more.

At the age of 21 and 19, Kody and Meri got married spiritually and legally without knowing each other too well. They later decided to file for divorce in 2014, so that Kody could adopt Robyn’s three eldest children from her previous marriage. (The divorce was a prerequisite for the adoption.)

In our wedding, she seemed quite different, and I believe there were some past issues (baggage) that Meri had which I wasn’t aware of. At first, I thought I could manage it. However, as time went on, everything felt like a constant argument. Put simply, I can’t coexist in an environment where she is consistently upset with me.

Despite his desire to depart, he found himself unable to do so. Kody, in a polygamous union, explained, “If he wishes to remain loyal and committed to our faith, he cannot file for divorce. It’s prohibited. Consequently, I was stuck within that relationship. However, I wasn’t yearning for an exit from the relationship. I sought understanding on whether we could salvage and repair it.

Consequently, he admitted that Meri might have believed they could resolve their issues. However, as Kody put it, whenever they were together, “She wasn’t pleasant, she wasn’t entertaining, she wasn’t compassionate, she wasn’t stimulating. I try to be interested in her, but I’m growing tired.

He acknowledged that it might seem as though Meri was left behind, but he clarified, “However, it wasn’t a forced eviction on my part. Instead, Christine, Janelle, and Meri decided for themselves to let me depart from our shared residence.

Even though Janelle and Christine believed that their union with Kody wasn’t officially recognized as a marriage, Meri sought a formal separation from him within the church in the last months of 2022, which is referred to as a “release.

In the episode on September 22nd, she clarified that all four of us women were united with Kody through our church in a special sense called a covenant, not legally. Given that we’re not pursuing any future marriages with him and I don’t wish to be bound to him for eternity if he doesn’t want me, I think it’s appropriate to end this spiritual connection. In simpler terms, I want to completely part ways.

Kody appeared unwilling to embrace the concept, as she made clear, preferring not to recognize or submit to the leadership of the church officials.

Kody expressed his viewpoint: “The harm was so extensive that there’s no chance of reconciliation, regardless of the circumstances.” He further added, “Consequently, I don’t wish to be answerable to this church and its nonsense. Therefore, I plan to allow Meri her freedom to act as she wishes because if I’m angry with her, it escalates into a dispute. Frankly, I want her to leave because it has taken her an eternity to understand that it’s all in the past for years now.

2021 holiday gift exchange conversation among the 18 Brown offspring took an unpleasant turn, as Christine explained. “Things fell apart, things soured,” she said. “Kody and Robyn, along with their children, were on one side, choosing to distance themselves from Janelle, me, and our kids. A divide emerged following this text conversation.

According to Robyn, her three eldest children perceived the encounter as “not emotionally secure” and suggested they should distance themselves from the relationship. However, she clarified that this didn’t mean they wanted to cut ties completely, stating, “It wasn’t about us never wanting to see you again or having no interest in you at all. It was more like, ‘Whoa, this got uncomfortable.’

For his part, Gabriel is hoping that they could find their way back to each other. 

He admitted during the October 13 episode that what he yearns for most is rekindling a relationship with Robyn’s children. In middle school, Aurora was the person he enjoyed spending time with the most. During high school, he would always attempt to connect with Dayton. However, he doesn’t harbor much hope for a relationship with their father and Robyn.

Aurora emphasized that she was repeatedly informed, in various situations and by different individuals, that she wasn’t welcomed as a part of the family when her mom married Kody in 2010. They never regarded her as their sister, and they didn’t perceive or treat her that way.

Her sister Breanna expressed that she believed the parents might’ve made more effort to strengthen our family bond, but that opportunity seemed to pass them by.

But Christine isn’t sure how they could have opened their arms any wider.

Robyn’s children and she herself were always invited to all events,” she emphasized. “In simpler terms, feel free to drop by our house whenever it suits you.

Simultaneously, she mentioned, her daughter Ysabel Brown shared a strong bond with Robyn’s children, and at one point, Mykelti Brown Padron lived with them. She explained, “There were challenging periods, and my kids felt frustrated at times, but they regarded Robyn’s children as their siblings just as dearly.

Speaking enthusiastically about her experience, Janelle expressed that plural marriage offers an exceptional family structure when it works well. She explained, “You’re part of this extraordinary family unit and connected community. You have a loving husband, but you also keep your independence. In my perspective, having multiple spouses makes for a truly wonderful arrangement.

Kody, however, wouldn’t say “I do” to polygamy again.

In his view, expressed during the December 1st episode, polygamous relationships hinder emotional intimacy. He believes this setup makes everyone guarded, and what he yearns for is an emotionally open, intimate relationship with a woman. However, such a connection may not be achievable within a polygamous arrangement.

According to Janelle, Kody found it more challenging to split his affection when the family moved from Las Vegas to Arizona in 2018.

On the September 29th episode, it was noted that when Kody relocated to Flagstaff, he found it simpler to stay away. Occasionally, I had to remind him that he should visit my home. He often made excuses about being tired, but I’d tell him, “You can rest just as well at my house as you can at Robyn’s.” In other words, he didn’t need a reason to skip over and relax at my place.

As a dedicated follower, I’d put it this way: “My kids were often reprimanded for rummaging through Robyn’s fridge. The reason behind this was not just the boundary around her personal space, but more so because they recognized that Robyn and our father shared a relationship, one which wasn’t present in our home.

And Robyn said her crew definitely felt the divide. 

In her conversation during the September 29 episode, she mentioned that Meri welcomed us warmly, yet the rest of the family found it difficult to accept us. All along, our wish had been to join and become a part of their family.

However, Gabriel might contend that he and his fellow siblings made significant efforts to welcome their kin into their group.

In the October 13th episode, he expressed his belief that Robyn seems to have a tendency to perceive herself as a victim. To put it simply, that’s his perspective. And it’s not that I hold her responsible for this, rather, I think each person develops their own ways to survive in life.

Yet, he went on to say, “If it’s truly her belief that we were treating her unfairly or harming her children while she was consistently favored by Dad and we were diligently working on our bond with her kids, if she genuinely thinks this, then there’s no possibility of me maintaining a relationship with Robyn.

During a September 29 broadcast, Kody revealed that the frequent changes between four households significantly impacted his eighteen children. He shared a poignant example: once, his and Robyn’s youngest daughter Ariella, born in January 2016, became emotionally attached to him as he was about to depart, clinging to his leg.

Kody put it this way: “I told her, ‘Another woman depends on me, another mother is waiting for me. I have other children who need me too,'” expressing the difficulty he felt as he said, “‘Goodness gracious, this is tough.’ She clung to me, begging, ‘Don’t abandon me, Daddy, don’t leave me.’

Unfortunately, that’s just a reality of plural marriage, insisted Janelle. 

Initially, she made it clear to her children that their father wouldn’t be around permanently. It seemed to me that Kody and Robyn mishandled the situation regarding her children. He couldn’t stay away for more than three or four days due to Ari getting upset. I felt this was a lack of proper parenting. Throughout family history, the other kids had handled it and they turned out to be well-adjusted adults.

Among a limited number of children from the Brown family, Mykelti maintained relationships with not only Robyn and Kody but also Christine and Janelle, her mother of three. During Kody’s divorce proceedings, Mykelti stepped into the role of mediator or peacemaker.

From the very start, Mykelti felt close with Robyn as soon as she joined the Brown family. In fact, Mykelti extended an invitation for Robyn to be present at the birth of her twins, Archer and Ace, in November 2022.

During the September 29th episode, Mykelti shared that when Robyn initially became part of our family, I was in a phase of self-discovery. Robyn made me feel valued and acknowledged, which was exactly what I needed at that time. When I needed someone, Robyn was there. She was a supportive ear, offering love when I needed it most.

Christine couldn’t have been happier when she saw the bond between Robyn and her daughter Mykelti. On the Oct. 6 episode, Christine expressed her joy by saying, “Ever since Robyn joined our family, it has been exactly what I had hoped for in terms of their relationship.” She continued, “When I dreamt about having a multi-wife family, I wished for my kids to have strong connections with the other mothers. And that’s exactly what is happening here.

Kody believes it’s not just his wives who have chosen to exclude him from their lives; he thinks they are intentionally doing so as a form of retribution for a crime he didn’t commit, as he expressed during the October 6 episodes. He attributes his estrangement from some of his older children to this situation, adding that he is only culpable for not deeply falling in love with their mothers.

What’s more, he continued, he think his former spouses are a bit to blame. 

He explained that the strain in his relationship with his kids is predominantly due to negative comments, saying, “I can’t help but feel this turmoil because of all the gossip. It seems as though everyone is pointing fingers and saying, ‘He’s the one who messed up.’

However, although he accepts some responsibility for the situation, he strongly objects to being insulted. In fact, Kody admitted that he had difficulty connecting with Hunter, Maddie, and Gabriel, revealing that one of his children replied to a text message by saying, “You are worthless. I would never talk to you again regardless.

In another instance, he expressed to the cameras, “One of my children recently said, ‘You are behaving unfairly. I will no longer speak with you. You’ve been deceiving and influencing me excessively.’

He stated that he won’t continue to handle the tension indefinitely, adding that he believes it’s time for his grown children to take responsibility and work towards resolving issues. He’s ready to put forth the effort, but emphasized that someone else needs to reciprocate as well.

For Robyn, watching Kody’s estrangement from his adult children hit far too close to home. 

During the October 6th episode, she shared that her parents divorced when she was small. At that time, her father lived with another wife in a different city, while her mother lived on her own. She recalled asking him why he wasn’t around during her childhood years and all he offered were weak explanations. It was a difficult experience for her because he didn’t provide the support she needed when she was young.

Instead of letting Kody’s wounded feelings deter him, she persisted in making an effort. In a heated confrontation, captured on camera towards the end of 2022, she confided that it was challenging for her not to have a slight loss of respect for him, which she expressed.

Although Kody admitted that he could exert extra effort to repair his bond with his children, he stressed the need for healing his heart first.

He disclosed that some of his children seem to be conspiring against him, and he expressed his frustration by saying, “I’ve been so upset about the situation that when I speak with my kids, I fear they might accuse me, which could make me even angrier. At this moment, I’m too emotional and may only worsen the issue further.

Despite a large portion of the family being present at Logan Brownson (Kody and Janelle)’s wedding to Michelle Petty in October 2022, their affection wasn’t particularly evident.

In the October 6th episode, Kody expressed his displeasure to Robyn, stating that he had noticed Madison quickly taking her children away from him. He added that it was surprising because Madison hadn’t informed him about her pregnancy, which resulted in the birth of their third child, daughter Josephine, in February 2023. Essentially, Kody said that she never told him about being pregnant.

Frankly, Maddie doesn’t tell her dad much of anything with the two rarely speaking.

Janelle clarified that Maddie avoids Kody because of their family dynamics. Essentially, Maddie prioritizes the well-being of her children and has not had any interaction with Kody since Evie was born over three years ago. Janelle didn’t want Kody to suddenly appear at the wedding without proper introduction, potentially confusing the children as they might not recognize him.

Kody expressed that it can be impractical for grandparents to always be involved in their grandchildren’s lives, using Maddie as an example who resides in North Carolina. He pointed out that when you relocate your children across the country, like he did to Flagstaff, personal obligations and work commitments often take precedence over frequent visits.

It’s evident that Kody and his grown-up kids hold contrasting perspectives regarding their longstanding rift, with one contentious issue being his insistence on receiving an apology or acknowledgment of wrongdoing.

Following the end of the COVID-19 crisis, we returned to our regular routines, but there was still tension within our family as Kody felt that his sons should apologize, particularly to Robyn. Janelle explained in the Oct. 13 episode that the issue escalated, and ultimately, they just needed to have a conversation with her.

As a devoted admirer, allow me to express it this way: Kody’s predicament, as Janelle put it, was that he felt his children hadn’t stood by him faithfully, and the most cherished soul in our household – who has poured her heart and soul into us – had been treated disrespectfully or worse. Frankly, I found myself uttering something akin to, “Whatever Kody, yeah, whatever.

Gabriel echoed a comparable viewpoint, narrating a chat with his father. “He would continually phrase it as if I owed him an apology,” he told Janelle. “After some time, I simply said, ‘Hey, unless you’re genuinely prepared to establish or repair our relationship, we won’t converse anymore.’ A few days later, he reached out and texted me. He stated, ‘Hey, I’ve been pondering over what you’ve been saying. I forgive you. Please forgive me.’ I responded, ‘Forgive me for what exactly?’

Among the six children Kody has with Janelle, it is only Savanah that he often interacts with. Although it doesn’t happen frequently, about every two months or so, they speak on the phone and meet up. The other children don’t have much of a relationship with him.

Regarding Savannah, who will graduate from high school in 2023, it seems her four elder brothers have assumed the role typically filled by a father figure. In fact, Savannah has expressed to Janelle that she might ask her siblings to accompany her down the aisle at some point in the future.

In her conversation, Janelle shared that she had spoken with Savanah about the situation, and Savanah expressed, “Well, it seems I’ve figured out that this is just his nature.” She continued, “‘He will be the kind of father who joins us for fun times but then leaves. I can adapt to him as he is. It’s fine.’

Janelle, however, is less forgiving. 

As a devoted admirer, I can’t help but express my exasperation. You see, I’ve witnessed similar situations unfold in the past. Here I am, someone who has collaborated with numerous individuals throughout the years, only to find that their divorces led to a troubling pattern: the father disappearing, leaving the children behind.

In the early stages of our estrangement, I found it particularly difficult when Kody stopped inviting me along on his business trips – something he had always done before. You see, he was a highly involved father, and those trips were our special bonding moments. However, over the past few years, that changed.

Although Gabriel is puzzled about what might have made his father angry, during the Oct. 13 episode, he expressed, “I told Dad that if he doesn’t change and can’t accept responsibility, then I’ll never meet him again. And I’m completely fine with that decision.

In her own words, she expressed that he’s content with his father not being part of his life. Furthermore, it’s a wish she has for all her children, and it seems like they are all reaching that point.

For his part, Kody also seems resigned to the situation. 

He expressed that he feels this way, and I truly apologize. I’ve attempted to reach out to him several times, but unfortunately, my efforts haven’t been reciprocated. It’s not because I didn’t make an effort.

In late 2022, Meri may have been the latest among Kody’s wives to part ways, but she formally ended their relationship by obtaining what their faith refers to as a release, on account of abandonment.

On the October 13th episode, she pointed out that he dislikes that specific word since it doesn’t seem to him that he left her behind. Instead, she feels that he did.

In truth, she believes he paid little attention to her until she decided to depart, allowing him to claim, “I have no involvement.

And Kody didn’t totally deny that he had a bit of a strategy. 

He admitted that he had already moved on a while back, but in all fairness, he was hesitant to confront the issue directly due to fearing her reaction. After all, Meri had never been faithful, and this lack of loyalty was something that had always concerned him. His apprehension stemmed from the potential damage to his reputation following a divorce.

Instead, alleged Meri, it was hers that was being tarnished. 

She expressed her disappointment by saying, “It’s truly disheartening that Kody is discussing our marriage in such a manner,” she shared. “I feel like his perspective on our relationship has shifted, yet the things he tells others about me and what they believe seem to be untrue.

Before Christina eventually parted ways with Kody, it became apparent to her that they were not well-suited for each other based on a suggestion from their marriage and family therapist in Las Vegas.

Christine outlined the characteristics she desired in a partner when choosing a husband, including effective communication skills, active participation in her life and that of her children, and genuine attraction. However, Kody didn’t meet any of these criteria, as she confessed during the October 20th episode, stating, “He’s not any of those things on my list.” When she presented him with the list, he admitted, “I’m not any of those for you,” to which she responded, “No, you’re not.

The letter played a significant role in helping her identify swiftly that David Woolley turned out to be her soulmate.
