Robyn Brown‘s life has been spun out into a limbo she feels she lacks control of. The Sister Wives star wasn’t prepared for the departure of one of her partners in plural marriage, let alone three. As Season 19 picks up on what’s going on in the Brown family, Robyn says she and Kody Brown are “struggling.”
Robyn Fears Kody Will Sabotage the Relationship
Robyn Brown and Kody Brown find themselves exploring monogamy after years of plural marriage. It’s a departure from their norm, and it’s clear Robyn is feeling the weight of her responsibilities.
We’re probably doing the worst we’ve ever done in our marriage. It’s been tough. It’s been tough between us. He doesn’t know who to blame, himself or one of the other wives. Kody’s feeling a lot of rejection, so I think he’s kind of looking at me going, ‘Are you going to reject me too?’ So I’m on my toes. I’m having to consistently make sure that he’s not sabotaging our relationship.
Kody, in the meantime, says he’s struggling to understand how he got to this place. He asserts that he’s not trying to hurt Robyn in the process of figuring that out, but doesn’t seem to rule out collateral damage in the situation.
I love Robyn, and she’s dear to me. I respect her dearly. Her telling me I’m still good is valuable to me. I want to give her more credibility, but I’ve had three people basically blame me. It’s just not that easy.
Kody May Not Be The One To Walk Away
This moment of self-realization is more important for Kody than any before him. In recent years, he’s lost three wives and a child, and continues to struggle with estrangement from other children of his. It’s a lot of loss to handle for even the strongest person.
Kody wonders whether he truly is the problem. If he can’t change or adapt to his new normal, Robyn—known for valuing her freedom and upholding certain standards—may choose her and her children’s well-being over the established family dynamic. However the future looks, if Kody wants it to include family, he needs to be willing to work on himself. Getting someone to that realization isn’t easy, however. That’s especially true during moments of dire hardship, which there have been too many of.
