Why Meri REFUSES to Be ‘Third Wheel’ Around Kody and Robyn (Exclusive)

In a recent revelation, Meri Brown has decided to decline an invitation from Robyn Brown to join her and Kody Brown for Thanksgiving. The decision stems from Meri’s discomfort with the idea of being a “third wheel” in their household.

Meri expressed that last year’s Thanksgiving, which included Mary, was a pleasant experience. However, she noted that she and Robyn do not behave like a married couple when other wives are around. This dynamic is largely influenced by Robyn’s sensitivity to the feelings of others. Robyn’s desire to be considerate of Mary’s presence has created a situation where Kody and Robyn cannot show the affection and adoration they typically would.

Kody has mentioned multiple times how awkward it is for him when Meri is present. He feels restricted in showing his affection towards Robyn, which has led to a strained relationship between him and both Meri and Robyn. Meri, acknowledging this tension, has chosen to avoid the situation altogether, stating that she does not want to inhibit their relationship.

Meri shared her thoughts on the situation, saying: “Robin did reach out and ask if I wanted to go over there for Thanksgiving, and I’m not going to do that. That’s just weird. Oh my God, last year Mary was here with our Thanksgiving, and it was a pleasant experience. But Robin and I don’t behave like a married couple when my other wives are around, so we weren’t acting like a married couple with Mary in our presence. That’s mostly on Robin, to be fair. That’s because Robin is very sensitive to other people; she wants to be very careful about their feelings. So when Mary’s there with us at our Thanksgiving, I’m not close with Mary, and now I’m no longer close with Robin because Mary’s present and Robin wants to be sensitive to Mary. That’s nice. I’ve heard Cody say multiple times how awkward it is that I’m even there because he can’t show the affection and adoration to Robin that he wants to, and I’m not going to inhibit that. You know, I’m not a member of the family. I just really don’t want to go be a third wheel at Robin and Cody’s house.”

This decision highlights the complexities and emotional challenges within the Brown family’s plural marriage. As Meri steps back to avoid further discomfort, it remains to be seen how this will impact the overall family dynamics moving forward.
