Sister WivesstarKody Brownis expressing his frustrations with his plural marriage.
In a sneak peek at Sunday’s episode, Kody, 52, has a socially distanced visit with his wife Janelle Brown to discuss how he can safely begin re-entering her home amid the COVID-19 pandemic. But Kody is beginning to feel his needs in the equation no longer matter.
For Kody, it’s of the utmost importance that the entire Brown family continue following strict social-distancing guidelines so that Kody to safely visit his wives and his many children at their respective homes in Flagstaff, Arizona.
“It makes me realize that in a plural marriage, I don’t matter because [my wife]Christine [Brown]is fine with ‘You do what you do. You do you, I’m going to do me,’ " he tells Janelle, 52. “It’s really indicative of our crappy relationship, I guess. But you and I don’t have a crappy relationship and yet, I’m still being marginalized.”

“You’re either in and you’re complying with our standard,” he says. “Or I’m not coming around.”
To his point, Janelle says she can’t be away from Kody for “too much longer.” She is also “heartbroken” that her sons aren’t following the family’s COVID-19 guidelines, but she doesn’t know what to do about their actions.

Kody, in turn, walks off in frustration. He then addresses the situation further in a confessional, saying Janelle is “stonewalling” him.
“I’m not making any progress. She misses me so she wants me to compromise so that I can come home rather than her making everybody in the household obey the protocols,” he tells the cameras. “I’m just done. We’re not getting anywhere here.”
“Plural marriage is a struggle. It’s a hard thing,” he continues. “I am not the head of this family. You know, I’m the head of the household [in] some places, I’m just not right here. And that’s not the deal we made when we got married.”
