Sister Wives: Meri Believes That Flirting With Another Wife Is Cheating!

With the new release of Sister Wives, fans got another viral talking point. This time, it’s Meri Brown who earned the fans’ attention. In the latest episode, Meri joined a dating event, but the fun games soon turned into a serious topic of discussion. The people at the event were asked whether flirting is a form of cheating. Meri, being one of the people there, turned the conversation deeper as she opened up about boundaries in a relationship.

The answer given by her was more surprising as she had lived in a plural family structure. The showrunners brought in her former sister wives as well for their opinions. And as you would expect, their opinion on the matter was also interesting to say the least. But what exactly led Meri to express such an opinion? And how did the other wives respond to her take on flirting within the family? Keep reading to find out how the debate unfolded and why fans can’t stop talking about it.

Sister Wives: Meri’s Kid Doesn’t Think Kody’s Apology Tour Is Sincere

Fans are well aware by this point that TLC has been building up Kody’s so-called “apology tour.” As teased in the upcoming episodes, Kody plans to visit Meri, Janelle, Christine, and Robyn to apologize for the hurt he caused throughout the years. If Kody is to be believed, he wants to mend relationships not only with his former wives but also with his older children. However, many family members and viewers doubt whether his apologies come from sincerity or his own convenience.

While Kody plans to meet Meri in Utah in the upcoming weeks, we’re not sure if the same could be said about Leon. Leon is Meri and Kody’s child, and they revealed that Kody had not contacted them for months. They even called his regret “a lie” and labeled him “a joke of a father.” Their partner, Audrey, even publicly called Kody out under one of his videos and supported what Leon had to say.

Sister Wives: Meri Says Flirting With Someone Counts As Cheating

During a fun Q&A activity at a social event, people present were asked whether they agreed or disagreed with, “Flirting is a form of cheating.” Meri didn’t hesitate before choosing “strongly agree.” In her confessional, Meri explained her thought process. She said that if someone is in a committed relationship, flirting crosses a line. She also added that in a plural family, the issue becomes even more sensitive.

According to Meri, every relationship within the marriage must be nurtured, and flirting with one wife in front of another could easily damage trust. She emphasized that if one wife feels insecure, open flirting becomes hurtful to the other members. Her comment opened the door for the other women to share their own memories. Robyn said Kody had always been naturally warm and affectionate, even before she joined the family. She thought that there was no point in hiding this dynamic, as the other wives had already established this before her.

Janelle also felt similar in that regard. She stated that Kody often winked or teased them all, and it never bothered her because it felt normal in plural marriage. Christine added that casual flirting among everyone went hand-in-hand with the lifestyle and helped keep the relationships balanced. She even noted that stooping herself from this natural affection would have “killed” the family dynamic. For the latest Sister Wives tea, stay tuned to TV Season & Spoilers.
