'Sister Wives' Star Christine Brown's Aunt Claims She Was Never 'Genuinely Happy' In Marriage To Kody Brown
Although Sister Wives fans were shocked by Christine Brown announcing she was leaving hubby Kody Brown, her aunt was surprised it took so long.
“I could see it coming. I don’t think Christine’s been genuinely — what I call genuinely happy — since day one,” Kristyn Decker spilled to host Kate Casey on her podcast. “It’s kind of impossible to have a marriage when you’ve got a division like that for women — five [wives], whatever it’s going to be, and a lot of children.
Decker continued: “That’s not a partnership. It’s not a real marriage. And so I’ve just felt bad for her and others from day one. As well, I was in [a plural marriage in the past]. So I had to support that way back when, but it still breaks my heart. I don’t think any women are genuinely happy in that.”
The former polygamist noted Christine’s problems with her ex stemmed from his relationships with his other wives: Meri Brown, Janelle Brown and Robyn Brown.
“I think that as soon as another wife comes into the family, the night the whole dynamics change, the marriage is never going to be the same or the relationship,” she dished Friday, November 5, on Reality Life with Kate Casey. “It just takes time and over the years for women [like] Christine to get stronger and find out this isn’t what she wants and she doesn’t have to do it.”
