Recap of Sister Wives season 17 episode 15
Last week on Sister Wives, Kody opened up about his past relationship with Meri. He said that he thought of reuniting with Meri when she made 30 Rice Krispies for their 30th wedding anniversary.
When he announced the same to his three wives, who he calls his best friends, Christine acted out and screamed at their children that she was in a loveless marriage. This discouraged Kody from restarting his marital relationship with Meri.
TLC's synopsis of the episode reads,
"The Brown family sits down individually to discuss the challenges they have faced over the past year. Kody and Christine give insight about their separation, while Meri learns of an instance when Kody thought about reconciling."
Meanwhile, Meri was unaware of Kody's plans to reconcile and, instead, said that Kody refused to kiss her during their anniversary. Kody also said that Christine had already made up her mind about divorcing him when they started to discuss their marital issues. She believed her husband was not attracted to her and refused to stay in a marriage with no intimate relationship. Kody also said that Christine threw temper tantrums all the time about the other wives.
On the other hand, Robyn confessed that Christine's separation broke her dream of living with "sisterhood," but the latter said that she was never even close to her or Meri. She refused to force a "fake friendship" with anyone. Meri also said that Christine left the house without warning and broke their friendship. The latter further added that she refused to be friends with Meri because she was rude to her in Vegas.
Sister Wives airs on TLC every Sunday at 8 pm ET.
