Sister Wives’ChristineandKody Brownhad to find a way to share theirbreakup newswith the family.
“I don’t want to burn bridges at the end of this,” she continues. “Some relationships are going to be fine, some are not going to be fine.”
Christine, 50, says that this will “definitely” be a “hard” conversation for them to have with the three women. When Kody, 53, hesitantly wonders if he should even be present during the women’s chat, Christine insists she needs him to be there.
“I would like it to be me leaving is me leaving, but we have talked about it,” she adds.

“I know that they’re going to be frustrated and mad and hurt and feel betrayed and [wonder], What does that mean to be a sister wife then? Am I still a sister wife?' And the answer is no,” she says. “I can’t be their sister wife anymore. I can be their friend.”
Reacting to the situation in a separate confessional, Kody admits he’s in a “state of denial.” He also partly wants Christine to admit she’s “leaving because of her” — and not because of him.
“She’s leaving, and I want to put it all on her. She’s leaving. You know, why aren’t we working this out?” he adds. “I’m in a place of where I don’t know what to way.”
