What happened on Sister Wives season 19 episode 15?
In Sister Wives season 19 episode 15, Meri discussed what went down between her and Kody. She shared that she went through a major "heartache" and felt like she shouldn't be supported during that tough time. Meri explained that one of the main reasons behind her divorce was when Kody "stopped showing up," which made her wonder if he had already decided that their relationship was over.
The Sister Wives star stated that she was the one who initiated the conversation about legal divorce as she wanted to "rip the band-aid off." According to Meri, she was waiting for things to get better between them, but that didn't happen. Hence she had to take that major step. Meri further elaborated on the emotional impact of her divorce from Kody; she said:
"I do question if at that time he already kind of had this plan in mind. If I can just do this it will be an easy transition. That legal divorce was so impactful for me because when I got married, there was one ceremony. The ecclesiastical authority that married us, had the legal authority to marry us as well."
Meri shared that her marriage was performed by the church's higher authority, which was a spiritual as well as religious ceremony. This is why, to Meri, her connection with Kody was special, and signing the divorce papers made her feel like she was "getting rid of the whole marriage." Meri further mentioned:
"So he performed the marriage and that was the religious and spiritual sealing as well as the legal ceremony."
She continued stating that the pressure to continue the relationship was impacting her. The Sister Wives star explained how her divorce with Kody affected their family; she said:
"Even though I had the logical part of me saying, no you still have this spiritual tie in a marriage, it felt like emotionally I was getting rid of the whole marriage. I was putting a lot of pressure on myself for feeling like this."
The upcoming episode 16 is set to air on January 5, 2025, which will highlight more of Meri and Kody's current connection after their divorce. All previous episodes of Sister Wives season 19 are available to stream on TLC. Viewers can catch the newly released episodes on TLC every week on Sundays.
