Sister Wives: Is Meri Brown Misplacing Her Trust in Robyn Brown?

Fans of TLC’s Sister Wives, the reality show that dives deep into the lives of a polygamous family, can’t help but notice the increasing tension this season. As viewers, we are glued to the screen, particularly around the strained relationship between Meri Brown and Robyn Brown. After shedding more light on the matter in last week’s episode, we wonder: Is Meri misplacing her trust in Robyn?

Sister Wives: Who Should Meri Brown Really Trust?

Sadness is Meri Brown’s uninvited guest this season. This original matriarch has had her share of ups and downs, but her latest interactions with Robyn Brown seem to strike a nerve with both her and the audience. Reports suggest that Meri has contributed financially to Robyn’s luxurious lifestyle, including her luxurious home. Yet Meri often feels emotionally sidelined during her visits.

What is frustrating for many fans is Robyn’s apparent lack of empathy for Meri. It seems like Meri’s struggles are just a footnote in Robyn’s story of family challenges. If you follow Meri on social media, you can see the evidence of her strained relationship with Robyn piling up. Many of us wonder if Meri is wasting her emotional energy on the wrong co-wife.

Christine Brown: The Unsung Empathizer?

Last week’s episode offered a contrasting picture of empathy with Christine Brown. The third wife openly acknowledged how Meri Brown has been put on the line by their shared husband, Kody Brown. Unlike Robyn Brown, who dismissively said, ” does what he wants to do,” Christine seemed to genuinely feel for Meri. The sincerity in her voice was palpable. Even though they are estranged, traces of compassion shone through from Christine, begging the question: Is she the co-husband Meri should lean on for emotional support?

Sister Wives: A Bittersweet Revelation

The salt in the wound was Robyn Brown’s revelation that Meri Brown’s niece, Ysabel Brown, had visited her during the Christmas season. The lack of warning, especially since Meri has a close relationship with Ysabel, aroused suspicions of Robyn’s insensitivity. Ysabel’s presence would have been comforting to Meri, and Robyn chose not to inform her until after the fact, causing obvious resentment among Sister Wives fans.

Robyn was once Meri’s “BFF,” but it seems that title is shifting to Jenn Sullivan. As the latest episodes are revealed, we see how Meri switches from calling Robyn her best friend to seeking more empathetic relationships.
