During a February 2021 interview with Us Weekly, Kody Brown said that he would never divorce one of his wives, but he left the door open for Meri Brown to walk away. "If it's not working for them, they can leave," he said. "Nobody's going to be a prisoner here." 

However, it looks like Meri has no intention of going anywhere. In a March 22 Instagram post, she said that she doesn't expect fans to agree with all the decisions that she makes, but she reassured them that she knows her self-worth. "I get that I have supporters. I get that I have haters," she wrote. "You want to know what else I get? That I know my worth. That I know my value. That I know what's in my heart and my head. That I know what my convictions are."

Meri revealed that she's well aware that some Sister Wives fans view her as "a fool" who lacks self-esteem, but she clearly doesn't believe this is the case. She described herself as "strong and capable," and she wrote that she is "not a quitter." But with her and Kody admitting that they only see each other "once in a blue moon" during a March 2021 episode of Sister Wives (via People), some fans wonder whether their marriage is really something Meri should cling to so steadfastly. Unfortunately for her, fans will probably continue to question her judgment, no matter what she says.
