Before any of his other wives came along, Kody had a solid bond with Meri. They were married for almost three decades before she decided to leave him. The decision wasn’t easy for him, and she went back and forth. Recently, Meri accepted that she still has a rollercoaster equation with her ex-husband, Kody. Although they are divorced, they still have things left unsaid.

Meri recently appeared on I Do, Part 2, where she talked in detail about her equation with Kody. Meri was the last one to leave Kody and even went ahead to take a spiritual divorce from him. She revealed that the couple decided to stay together despite numerous problems, including Kody’s marriage to Robyn. They had a lot of plans, but ultimately, everything collapsed right in front of her.

Meri criticized Kody’s parenting, saying he has children who want a relationship with him, yet he doesn’t put in the effort. She recalled how he once centered his world around his kids, which makes his current distance heartbreaking. On Sister Wives, Kody admitted to estrangement from some adult kids after his split with Meri, Janelle, and Christine.

Though he remains with Robyn, he insisted his children must also reach out, making it clear he won’t sacrifice Robyn to reconnect. Recently, there were reports that he is trying to amend his relationship with his kids. Only time will tell if it was only a rumour, or if he is really trying.

Sister Wives: Meri Talks About Her Roller Coaster Ride With Ex-Husband, Kody!

Meri, in the recent podcast, revealed that when she divorced Kody back when he married Robyn, they still planned to stay together. However, the relationship gradually fell apart, and several issues cropped up. Marriages certainly had problems, and couples needed to work through them, but Kody refused to do so. She said they had a rollercoaster marriage from the beginning and always had issues.

They experienced certain highs and inevitable lows in their relationship. She made several good memories, but she also held onto not-so-good ones, and she thinks that’s normal. But everything came down to the fact that neither of them wanted to work on it, which is why the relationship ultimately collapsed. Later in the same podcast, she revealed where they stand today.

They still share a rollercoaster relationship. She wishes him the best and admits he is very charismatic. There are certain things she wants him to improve, and that’s her perspective. Similarly, she feels sure that he also thinks she could work on certain things. Issues existed, and that’s why they separated, right? But at the end of the day, she still doesn’t think he’s a bad person.

Their values didn’t align, and they tried to impose their own values on each other. They went from yelling at each other to hugging. Both of them changed a lot in the past couple of years, and both of them acted foolishly. Life happened, which is why it became essential for them to go their separate ways. Meri also shared that she feels Kody was a better parent when he was younger compared to what he is doing now, and it breaks her heart. Stay tuned to TV Season & Spoilers for further updates.
