In the recent episode of 'Sister Wives', host Sukanya interviews the polygamous family regarding the many issues they have. All the while, Kody Brown constantly talks ill about his wives, saying that they complain all the time.

Kody tells Sukanya that he doesn't see the sense in Meri talking to people outside of their relationship. The irony here is that Meri and he have not had intimacy in their marriage for over a decade and being this controlling isn't right or fair to her. They also revisit the incident where Meri was catfished online. She thought she was hitting it off well with a man she met on the internet, but he later turned out to be an elderly woman.

'Sister Wives' Fan Review: Meri should stand up for herself and 'open' her eyes

Here's what fans think of the latest episode of 'Sister Wives'. One fan said, "Also if Mari is 'just friends with Koby', is she NOW allowed an intimate relationship with another man? Raise your hand if you wanted the host to ask Kody this question. Lol! It’s ok for HIM to have multiple wives but never the other way around. #jealous #SisterWives", while another shared, "When @realkodybrown says he doesn’t want to be emotionally hurt by @MeriBrown1, it’s so sad. A marriage is taking that change in the commitment, and because you have other wives, it’s a cowardice to shelter in the other relationships! #sisterwives".

One fan tweeted, "There is no way to discuss Kody and Meri’s marriage (and lack there of) without considering the impact of Meri’s infertility struggle coupled with the emphasis their religious and family culture placed on child bearing. #SisterWives", while another said, "My heart hurts for Meri. She can still have relationships with the big family if she left Kody. She deserves happiness too. She’s def worth it! #SisterWives".
 



 



 



 



 

One fan shared, "#sisterwives Why can’t Meri still have a relationship with the family AND leave Kody?! Kody said it ain’t EVER happening between the two of them again. So, Meri, please go find yourself a man who loves you like you love him. You deserve that!", while another said, "Kody said he will protect Meri, but then said he doesn’t feel safe with her! Just set her Free! #SisterWives".

One fan tweeted, "Why would any woman (Meri) stay with a man (kody) with no relationship or intimacy for a decade? What is the point? This say depressed and insecure..#SisterWives", while another said, "Kody- I will protect Meri Meri and the rest of us- Meri does not need your protection. It's fake. There is no reality to it. She is strong. You are cruel. #SisterWives".
