“He’s like, ‘Can you do this? And then, we can work on a relationship,’” Meri shared while painting the interior of her bed and breakfast, Lizzie’s Heritage Inn.
In a confessional, she elaborated, “He had this list of things that he wanted me to do… Once I completed that list, he was done with me. I recognize now there was nothing else I could do because he was never going to try.”
Fans quickly took to social media to express sympathy for Meri. Her honesty exposed years of emotional manipulation. Viewers praised her courage in moving on.

“Do you know what today is?” she quipped to Kody. When he acknowledged it was their anniversary, Meri fired back, “It’s not anymore!” Her cheeky “karma” shirt, emblazoned with the phrase “I saw that. – Karma,” added to the moment’s hilarity.
