As fans of the series know, Kody’s third wife Christine announced she was leaving the family in November.
Since then, fans have been waiting for other wives to leave the Brown family fold, most notably, Kody’s first wife Meri.
It’s no secret the pair have had a strained relationship since Meri’s catfishing scandal back in 2015, however, it seems the issues were happening long before then.
During the tell-all special, Meri revealed it’s been “about a decade” since she and Kody had been physically intimate.
This contradicts what fans have believed for some time, which is that the couple began to fall apart after Meri was caught having an emotional affair online.
“During an emotional and vulnerable time earlier this year, I began speaking with someone online who turned out to be not who they said they were,” Meri revealed in 2015.
During the reunion, the pair addressed the massive elephant in the room in regards to their relationship, or rather, their complete lack of relationship.
As viewers may recall, Meri told cameras during this season of Sister Wives: “Am I a sister wife when I don’t have a husband ?”
After revealing the last time they had sex, Kody confirmed he was no longer interested in having any sort of physical relationship with Meri.
“I’m not ever going to be in a conjugal relationship with her,” Kody said, as per Insider. “Because I’m not going to go through that emotional torture ever again.”
However, it’s clear Meri has a different outlook on the pair’s future.
She expressed still having “hope” for her marriage, saying that she’s “still committed” to Kody: “I’ve made my choice. I’m still here.”
Part two of the all-tell will air Sunday night on TLC.
