Sister Wives star Meri Brown handled her breakup differently than the fans from this TLC series would have liked, as she held on much longer than many fans expected. Viewers saw her in a demeaning situation with her shared husband. Still, she finally made it through, but now fans think she almost blew it with a disturbing move.

Meri Brown Delivers Gut Punch on Sister Wives?

Sister Wives fans rallied for Meri Brown during her ambivalence to leave the life she shared with Kody Brown behind. But she finally came out on the other side of all this with a release from her shared husband, granted by their church.

But Kody Brown saw this as a gut punch. He acted like Meri deliberately did this to tarnish his name within the church. Meri shared emails with the fans after she sent them to Kody, informing him of her intent to get this release. So, he became well-informed of her plan with the church.

But the church granted the release under “abandonment”, which threw Kody into a tailspin. The church cites his abandonment of Meri Brown as grounds for her release. But, he highly protests the church finding him at fault. Still, many Sister Wives fans suggest, he did everything possible to push her towards this release.

Meri On Rocky Ground With Ex – But Wait…

Kody moaned over the word abandonment, as he wanted to avoid fault in their separation. But while he might have wanted to avoid the word, he did everything possible to make Meri, as well as Sister Wives fans, believe he abandoned her.

He boasted how they hadn’t been intimate in years. He also spent the majority of his time with Robyn Brown, according to his family members and ex-wives. So if that doesn’t fit the bill of abandoning your wife, what does?

This left the Sister Wives patriarch on shaky ground with Meri Brown after the terms provided in the release were not to his liking. But then that fog lifted and out came a newer version of Kody after his three divorces. Suddenly, Meri was no longer a darkness in his world of light.

Not a Good Look for Original Sister Wives Matriarch

Sister Wives fans were amazed, as was Meri Brown, at the way Kody acted when he helped her move to Utah. Kody cried as he hugged Meri and said some very nice things to her, including he was sorry they ended up like this. He then told her she would always be his favorite ex-wife.

All Meri Brown needed was this little bit of encouragement from her ex-hubby to start second-guessing herself. She thought maybe she should have tried for a bit longer to save her marriage with Kody so shook up. But, the viewers found this disturbing.

If not for her two friends, who met her for lunch, Meri might still wonder if she made a mistake. Instead, the ladies appealed to Meri Brown so she would think about all she had been through with him.

Meri Stayed Right on Track…

But because of Kody’s presentation while helping her move, Meri wondered if she made the wrong move. She pondered if she should have stayed and tried harder to put her marriage back together. Luckily, her lunch buddies put things in perspective for her. Fans became worried that she might run to Kody after the little spark of hope he dangled in front of her.

Sister Wives fans saw Meri Brown on the road to restoring her dignity and self-worth. She even started a movement for this called Worthy-Up. She coaches others to take stock of themselves and understand how worthy they are of all good things in life.

But for a few seconds on the last episode, Meri seemed to drift back to thinking she still might have a chance. So, fans watched and hoped she wouldn’t throw her dignity out the window and pursue Kody all over again. But she didn’t, so fans of the TLC series breathed a sign of relief.
