'RHOC' Preview: Braunwyn Windham-Burke says she's trying to make husband Sean as 'unhappy' as she is
Strong marriages on the 'Real Housewives' franchise are few and far between. So, it was refreshing to see Braunwyn Windham Burke and her husband Sean Burke enjoying a strong and healthy marriage on 'Real Housewives of Orange County'. To celebrate their twenty years of marriage, the couple decided to have a vow renewal ceremony aka the kiss of death.
None of the couples who had a vow renewal ceremony on the show managed to stay together, all of their marriages fell apart (you can look at Ramona Singer and Shannon Beador for proof). So, fans were a bit hesitant about Braunwyn and Sean having a vow renewal, and began predicting that their marriage too would fall victim to the infamous kiss of death in the 'Real Housewives' world.
Although the couple's vow renewal went well, looks like the Burkes might be the newest victims of the vow renewal curse. In the preview clip for the upcoming episode, we see Braunwyn telling her therapist that Sean is so 'normal', and that she's trying her best to make him as 'unhappy' as she is. In the next scene, we see Braunwyn yelling at Sean and her kids that nobody's letting her talk. Sean looks puzzled on seeing his wife angry.
The clip didn't reveal the events that led to Braunwyn snapping at her family, nor why she wants to make her husband 'unhappy'. We will have to just watch the episode to see what seems to be causing tension between the Burkes. During the latest season of 'RHOC', Braunwyn opened up about her alcoholism and addiction. Through the course of the season, we see the housewife trying to battle her addiction with the support of her fellow housewives and husband.
In an earlier episode, we saw Sean admitting to feeling guilty for allowing things to escalate to that point. He confesses to seeing some red flags with her drinking, but he just let it slide because he wanted her to be happy and live her best life. After hearing him out, Braunwyn wondered why he never intervened and helped her out.
'Real Housewives of Orange County' Season 15 airs every Wednesday at 9/8c only on Bravo.
