Kody reacts to Meri breaking free to get a divorce

After getting permission from her church to divorce Kody Brown, Meri Brown sits down with her ex-husband for a tense conversation. in “Sister Wives” Season 19, Episode 6.

In TODAY.com’s exclusive first look at the moment, Kody Brown criticizes his ex-wife’s decision to make their divorce official when she did, saying, “I wish you would have chosen sooner.”

“My choice was always to stay. If I wanted to leave sooner, I would have left sooner,” he replies.

In a confessional interview, Kody Brown talks about the complicated dynamics of plural marriage, seemingly explaining why he stayed in several unhappy marriages for so long.

The reality star was once married to four women: Meri, Janelle, Christine and Robyn Brown. Now he is only married to Robyn Brown.

“Leadership will never allow you to remarry if you are discarding women. Well, I was in terrible relationships, but I wasn’t ready to throw them out, I didn’t want to throw them out, I didn’t even know I was in terrible relationships,” she says.

The father of 18 says it’s hard to know you’re in a “bad relationship” and uses a colorful example to illustrate his point.

“You only think you’re in a normal relationship because all your friends have the same problem until you’re in a normal relationship that has deep emotional intimacy instead of what some people call ‘fif.’ And the second word is struggle , or ‘fi f,’ and the first word is fight, that doesn’t create intimacy,” he says.

Back in his conversation with Meri Brown, Kody Brown pushes some buttons with his next statement.

“You know what really sucks? It’s not the divorce that hurts. It’s marrying the wrong person because you don’t know,” he says.

After a deep sigh, Meri Brown says, “Wow, okay. Since you married me at six months, you married the wrong person, and you just didn’t know it.”

Kody Brown quickly clarifies what he meant, saying, “I’m not even saying that, Meri.”

“That’s what it sounds like,” he says.

Kody Brown reflects on the end of his marriage.

“Now we’re breaking up. Does it mean he was the right person or just the right time? I don’t know. I can’t philosophize about this. We could philosophize to death. All I know is that you and I have different time stamps when we were no longer happy,” she says.

Meri Brown offers her own opinion in a confessional interview, saying, “What hurts is marrying the wrong person and not having the decency to tell them until 32 years later.”

On last week’s episode of “Sister Wives,” Meri Brown traveled to Utah to ask her church for a “release” to give her permission to divorce Kody Brown. Although the couple has not been legally married since 2014, they were still part of a spiritual marriage.

“In 2014, Kody and I were legally divorced, and for me the whole process was just so that he could then legally marry Robyn (Brown) and then adopt her three grown children,” he told l episode. . “But our spiritual marriage, our spiritual roof was still intact. When we get married, it’s for eternity. That’s the intention.”

Meri Brown called the process of obtaining a release “heartbreaking,” saying it was necessary so she could end the “limbos” she’d been living in since she and Kody Brown decided to end their marriage
