Why Sister Wives Ended Their Polygamous Marriage?
For the most part, fans blame Kody and Robyn Brown as the reason the Sister Wives polygamous marriage ended. Ultimately, fans are pretty torn as to whether Robyn or Kody deserved more of the blame. Some fans believe this is what Robyn wanted all along. Others, however, speculate Kody found his soul mate when he met Robyn. So, he slowly fell out of love with his other wives because of it.
To better understand what really caused this plural family to break apart, it helps to look at each wife individually.
Sister Wives: Why Didn’t Christine & Kody Work?
Fans believe Kody Brown breaking Ysabel’s heart was the final straw for Christine. Fans, however, also believe this relationship was doomed to end sometime. Christine Brown is a strong woman with a huge heart. And, she seemingly wanted way more than Kody could ever give her.
The real issue was Christine wanted to be the final and favorite wife. When Robyn Brown entered the picture, Christine’s dream shattered. She no longer felt like the queen she wanted to be.
Why Did Meri & Kody Brown Split?
Fans are pretty split on what ended Kody and Meri Brown. Some argue it was the catfish incident because Meri emotionally cheated on Kody. Likewise, fans believe she would have been unfaithful if the “man” she met had been real. Alternatively, most fans suspect it was Kody divorcing Meri on paper to legally marry Robyn that was the beginning of the end.
Furthermore, some speculate Meri disappointment by only having one child didn’t help things for her relationship with Kody Brown. Sister Wives fans do believe Meri and Kody only split because it became easier to do after Christine left.
Sister Wives: Why Did Janelle & Kody End?
Some fans question if Janelle and Kody Brown were ever a real couple. The duo gave off vibes that they were good friends more than anything else. Fans believe Kody got with Janelle because he knew how smart she was. Likewise, he knew she would be a cash cow and a smart choice to build a future with.
With Christine out of the picture, Janelle Brown got to see what happiness looked like. While Janelle doesn’t want to run off and find a new man. She got to see that there could be life without Kody. When Janelle and Kody had that one ugly fight and he refused to stay and talk to her, fans believed that was her breaking point.
Was This Polygamous Marriage Doomed?
Some Sister Wives fans believe putting their family on television is what doomed the polygamous marriage to failure. This theory grows legs because many believe Robyn only got with Kody because she wanted to be famous. So, fans who think this way believe Robyn never would have married Kody if the family hadn’t gotten in bed with TLC. Without Robyn, fans doubt Christine would have left. If Christine never left, fans believe Meri and Janelle would have stayed as well.
