While the Sister Wives‘ three former wives, Meri, Janelle, and Christine Brown all had their reasons for exiting the plural marriage, Meri’s story stings.
Since she held out hope for so many years, just to be backhanded by Kody Brown blaming her for his lack of love in the end. However, now the sad real reason Kody stopped loving Meri Brown came to light.
Meri And Kody Brown Live Through Love Loss
Undeniably, watching Sister Wives star, Meri Brown hold on in a loveless marriage for so many years is heartbreaking.
However, in the early years of the show, it is apparent there was love between Kody Brown and Meri. Sadly, in Season 18, Kody asserts that he never loved Meri, Janelle, or Christine Brown.
Furthermore, he regrets not vetting his wives better in the beginning. Additionally, he says he entered the marriage with the “covenant of love” but wasn’t in love with them. However, his love for Robyn Brown was deeper and had connected passion.
Undeniably, it is hard to see Kody blame Meri for him not loving her. But why did he truly stop loving Meri? When did the joy leave Kody and Meri’s relationship? Recently, the sad real reason was spotted.
Sad Real Reason Kody Brown Was Done With Meri?
On Reddit, one fan pinpoints the sad real reason that Kody Brown stopped loving Meri Brown. First, they say, “Theory about Kody and Meri.” Then, give their idea about what went wrong, saying, “My theory is that when it became apparent that Meri wasn’t able to get pregnant, Kody felt that was a sign from God that she wasn’t supposed to be his wife.
Anyone familiar enough with the religion to say whether that is a belief their religion would support? I just got into this show recently. However, I tend to find things to obsess over, and because of that I am on my third rewatch. I think Kody really loved Meri. More than that, he really liked her. Had fun with her.” Furthermore, the user adds other reasons they believe there was true love between Kody and Meri.
Kody Brown Wants To Build His Celestial Kingdom
After the initial post, several other Sister Wives fans confirmed the real reason was rooted in Meri Brown not being able to have additional babies.
- Another fan adds, “I think Kody had a fetish about making babies and enlarging his celestial kingdom. When he figured out Meri was finished having babies, he had no use for her. I don’t think he loves anyone except himself.”
- “It absolutely is a belief they support. A woman’s worth in polygamy is having babies.”
- “I’ve wondered about that when he talks about Meri ‘deceiving’ him and how she isn’t the person she claimed to be when they got married.”
- “I think when the reality of being married hit, with no sister wives at the time, Meri struggled with taking another wife. That’s what I think Kody meant by being deceived.”
Other Fans See The Evidence Too
While the relationship between Meri and Kody Brown deteriorated over the years, there initially was a beautiful bond. Fans pick up on the evidence that they were originally in love.
- “Meri is the only one he actually married for love in my book. He absolutely loved her. He married Janelle to get closer to his planet and they were a good match and he loved her. Then he married Christine for her clout and his planet and he learned to love her for how she cared for him. He married Robyn as a midlife crisis lust thing and she played the adoring worshiping wife while manipulating him until he didn’t know when to sh*t if she wasn’t there to tell him to and was in his ear the whole time telling him the other wives were mean to her and if he wanted more of that sweet biscuit he had to keep doing what she said.”
- “I think he married Janelle for lust and called it being a good polygamist. I think they always had good sex and a good friendship during their time together. So, Love, Sex, Clout, and a Midlife Crisis. You’re right on target!”
A Fan Thinks It Was A Combination Of Many Factors
Another Sister Wives fan thinks the unraveling of Meri and Kody Brown’s marriage was an accumulation of many grievances.
- “I truly don’t think Kody thinks that deeply about things. He also fell in love with Janelle and saw Meri mistreat her, then again saw Meri mistreat a couple of the kids. They had tensions for years before the catfish even happened, the Browns just lied their butts off to get a tv show. Of course he’d want more kids for his beliefs, but Kody goes to whoever is easiest to get along with and who will stroke his ego. They hid a lot of their issues.”
What do you think? Did Kody Brown stop loving Meri because he thought God was giving him a sign?
Do you think if Meri had been able to have more children they would have avoided the falling out? Are you ready to see the new season of Sister Wives? Drop your comments below.
