Sister Wives patriarch, Kody Brown commented on Christine’s exit from his life on this week’s episode. he said, “You never know when she’s just going to realize that the life she’s looking to create somewhere else isn’t going to be any better than what she’s had or got.”
Kody Brown thought Christine, his wife of 26 years was joking when she told him she was going to divorce him. He started taking her seriously when she refused to acknowledge their wedding anniversary publicly. The 53-year-old told the cameras, “I asked her if we wanted to post anything on social media, in a little way, it was a test, but to protect our kids.
Kody Brown Reflects On The Moment He Knew His Third Wife, Christine Was ‘Serious’ About Quitting Their Marriage
And she says, ‘No.’ And that was the first time I’ve ever actually been able to go, ‘Oh, ok wow she’s serious about this.’” Brown said further, “I think I want to keep testing it though. You never know when she’s just going to realize that the life she’s looking to create somewhere else isn’t going to be any better than what she’s had or got” Christine said, the day they exchanged “I dos” no longer holds meaning. The former wife of Kody stated, “For our anniversary I’m not going to pretend. I don’t consider myself married to him anymore at all.”
Christine continued, “Six weeks ago we had a conversation. I just said, ‘I need you to let me go. It’s over. I don’t want to be married to you anymore and I’m also going to be moving to Utah.” “I don’t know when to have a conversation with my sister wives. I don’t know when to tell Truely. No one knows the finality of all of this I think.” Kody talked about intimacy, which is one of the major factors that led to their split.
He said, “Intimacy needs trust. Attraction, in my world, needs trust. I thought she was being mean. I was angry, it’s like God, man, you’re unwinding plural marriage for me. You’re unwinding my whole life, my whole purpose. No. we are not having any intimacy until you get this straight.
I wish I would have said, ‘We gotta work on somethings.’” Later in the episode, Kody and his wives have a facetime call to catch up on family matters since they’ve been isolating due to Covid protocols. He complained that Christine is now behaving like an independent woman and that she wants to take charge and not submit to anyone.
