A marriage of 25 years cannot just be forgotten in a snap of a finger regardless of the situation. While it may have appear that Meri Barber found it easy to decide to divorce Kody Brown during the Season 5 of the reality TV series “Sister Wives” last year, it seems that she has since struggled for the life-changing move she did.
In the latest preview of Season 6 of “Sister Wives” released by TLC recently, it was clear that Meri has been trying her best to cope up with the impact of her decision to divorce Kody after 25 years of being his legal wife. And she seems to be struggling and expressing guilt about it now that she has relegated herself to becoming a spiritual wife of Kody in the same household, notes the Day Herald.
Meri has agreed to divorce Kody so that he could marry Robyn Sullivan, his fourth wife, with the intention of seeking to legally adopt the three children of Robyn from her first marriage.
In the preview, Meri was seen talking to Robyn discussing the divorce and her seeming regret about it. Robyn responded that she should have brought the issue to Kody instead of her because it was not her call to make, details the International Business Times of UK.
Major drama up ahead
Season 6 of “Sister Wives” will premiere on TLC on September 13 and it is likely to bring major drama to the lives of the polygamist family.
Apart from contending with the impact of the divorce on Meri, Kody shall also have to deal with her upcoming second child by Robyn who will be five months pregnant by the time the show starts airing on the small screen.
Because of these developments, it is expected that there will be a shift in the family dynamics making it more interesting, particularly on how Kody will deal with all of the challenges and changes in his family.
Not bitter at all
There have been reports since last month that Meri felt bitter, like any woman would, for divorcing her husband of 25 years, in favor of another woman whom she shares a household with. Meri immediately debunked those notions saying that she was at peace with her decision.
While she did admit that there were mixed emotions on her part when she and Kody Brown divorced late last year because she felt like it was the end of an era, Meri said that she knows that it’s not the end for him and Kody. She says that she already has an eternity with Kody, whom she is spiritually married to despite their divorce.
Meri also added that she already has eternity with the family so she knows that it’s not the end for her, for Kody, or for their family.
It seems however that her emotions have gotten the better part of her lately that is why she has been feeling remorse and expressing regret for the decision she just made.
Meri also denied rumors that she and Robyn Sullivan, the youngest, and the new wife of Kody Brown, were having a feud because if the feud is true, she would not be giving up Kody for her.
As a matter of fact, one of the main reasons why Meri decided to divorce Kody was to allow him to adopt Robyn’s three children from a previous marriage.
However, during the TLC preview for “Sister Wives” Season 6, it seems that there has been a wedge that has been driven into in the relationship of Meri and Robyn.
Meri the Martyr.
Why can’t Kody treat the four women more equally and fairly? Everyone has value, everyone has feelings.
I weep for Meri, I deeply sympathize. She was innocent, but viciously targeted and became a victim. She was literally trapped alive by a vicious hunter using fraud as the bait. Thank heavens her family helped her escape. She is back with them now, surrounded by love and protection, once again safe. Miracles happen!!!
I couldn’t agree more. Anyone could be accidentally trapped. The Brown family is a beacon of righteousness and we’ve all learned a valuable lesson. We have to be extremely careful online, there’s stranger danger around every corner waiting to make us do things we don’t want to do. We must learn to recognize that not everyone has our best interests at heart. There are unscrupulous people out there waiting to take advantage of good and trusting folks. We need to be aware and vigilant and keep our guard up. If it could happen to Meri, it could happen to anyone. Not everyone has a family to rescue them, that would walk through hell to save them, like Meri does.
