FLAGSTAFF, ARIZONA: While 'Sisters Wives' Season 18 star Kody Brown and Robyn Brown are still married. Robyn is the only wife left standing in the polyamorous marriage of the Browns.

However, in the recently released episode of 'Sisters Wives' Season 18, it seems that the fallout of polygamy has started taking a toll on Kody and Robyn's marriage.

People reported Kody saying, "I just have this gut thing that's like I'd like to run away from my life. You know, just escape. Just change my name, disappear, and be somebody else. I just...I hate my life right now."

Does Kody mean he wants to leave Robyn as well? On Sunday's episode, Robyn confessed, "It would absolutely devastate me if he tried to leave me." She continued, "I mean, I know he has these thoughts. I mean, you can't make anybody stick around or stay."
