On Sunday’s edition of “Sister Wives,” Meri Brown discussed her desire to spend more time at her Utah bed and breakfast with Robyn. Meri Brown continues to have second thoughts about her choice to spend more time apart from ex-Kody Brown.
The 52-year-old TLC celebrity opened up to Robyn Brown about her choice to spend longer stretches of time at her Utah bed and breakfast, Lizzie’s Heritage Inn, on Sunday’s episode of Sister Wives.
“It’s easier for me to be at the B&B and that scares me that I’m going to where it’s easy,” she shared in a confessional. “I think that’s what Kody has done for many years is just gone to where it’s easy and now look at our relationship. You know what I mean? Like, what’s it going to lead to?”
Meri then admitted to Robyn, 44, that she is struggling to handle all the changes in her life amid the ongoing family fallout. (At the time of filming, Meri’s split from Kody after 32 years of marriage has not been made official.)
“I just don’t like change and it’s scary,” Meri admitted as she broke down in tears. “And it’s just another with everything else that’s going on in the family. It just feels like yet another thing, but I also know that you’re the only one who cares about it, too.”
Robyn responded, “I do. I mean, as long as you’re really truly going to still be here.”
“I’m gonna have a house. I’m gonna have an address. I’m gonna be here,” Meri reassured her. “I’m gonna sleep there. I will just also be up there.”
But Robyn is still worried that Meri would fully move away from the family, sharing in a confessional, “She’s gonna just keep putting more pieces there of herself … that will eventually take her there all the way.”
Meri admitted that she found the change in life to be daunting as she worried about how Robyn and Koyd would react. “It’s scary to me because I know I have feared what you’re gonna think that it is, and I know what Kody [is going to think]. He’s just not gonna give a crap,” she said.
Robyn was aware that Meri was “not just sitting around pining for Kody” when she made the decision to take some time off, and she continued, “It’s also about her integrity and it’s about her commitments, and she’s a very devoted and loyal person when it comes to a commitment.”
After the conversation, Robyn understood that it was time to give Meri a chance to stand on her own.
“I don’t know what the future holds for her,” Robyn admitted to the cameras. “I just want to express my gratitude that she is still fighting, but I also feel selfish because I know how trying it must be to be here while waiting to see if something might develop between her and Kody. I merely want her to be content.
Meri also admitted she wanted her relationship with Kody to “work out,” adding, “I just really feel like that he is going to sometime realize that you know this is something that he committed to as well. And then we can work on moving forward and want him to work on this relationship with me. And also I don’t care anymore but I do care. I know what I really want.”
