Kody Brown: I Didn’t Want Christine to Leave Me But She Really Hurt My Feelings!

Kody Brown has never been the greatest at expressing his feelings.

Most of the time it’s because he’s so abrasive and rude about everything — he rarely seems to think about how his words can affect other people, even the people he claims to love.

Sometimes it’s because he’s just not honest, even with himself, like in the footage we saw a few days ago where he said that he’s not at all the type to hold a grudge.

You know, like we haven’t been following his personal life for over a decade now and couldn’t give multiple examples of how this is clearly false.

And then, on occasion, he just doesn’t say what he needs to say.

As we’re going to learn in tonight’s episode of Sister Wives, this particular failing seems to be a large part of what inspired Christine to leave him for good.

If you’ve been watching the show for a while, but especially this season, then you know that Christine’s decision to leave Kody has been a long time coming.

He’d been pulling away from her for a while, he stopped visiting her altogether for a bit, and finally he told her that he didn’t want to be intimate with her anymore.

In a new sneak peek for the upcoming episode, which you can watch below, we see Kody expand on that bit a little more.

“My perspective of that experience,” he said, referencing a part of Christine’s interview that aired elsewhere in the tell-all, “was she came to me and said ‘Hey, we did this work on the house, wasn’t that for our intimacy?'”

“I went ‘No, it’s just stuff we needed to do,’ and she goes ‘Well, are we going to be intimate again?'”

He said that his response was a vague shrug, then explained “I never said no, that we weren’t going to be intimate again.”

“I was at a point where I wanted her to address the rumors that I’d been hearing from the kids that she was threatening to leave.”

So instead of actually talking to her about those rumors, he just denied sex and waited for her to figure out why he was upset?

Sounds reasonable.

“I never said we weren’t going to be intimate anymore,” he repeated, “but I didn’t want to be intimate because I had somebody who was basically stabbing me in the back, I felt like.”

Sukyana Krishnan, the tell-all’s host, listened to all of this nonsense, then finally asked “But why wouldn’t you ever question that? Like ‘this is what I’m hearing, this isn’t sitting well with me.'”

“Help me understand why you would never reach out to her and tell her why you’re so hurt by that,” she told him.

His response?

“FOMO,” he said, “fear of missing out, something like if we really have this conversation, how frank are we going to get?”

We’re not really sure how the concept of FOMO applies here, but it does make sense that he’d be scared to have such a big conversation, especially because the very next thing he said was “I don’t want her to leave.”

He was then asked if he’d ever said those words to Christine herself, and he looked kind of sad and lost before simply saying “No.”

What a mess.

Maybe if he’d just actually shared his true feelings with Christine then none of this would have happened.

There’s still a solid chance that she would have left anyway, of course — their marriage had had problems for a very, very long time.

But it probably would have been nice for her to at least hear that, you know?

Chelsea Houska Shares Update on Adam Lind: Is He Still a Deadbeat Dad?!

When it comes to the fathers in the Teen Mom franchise, Adam Lind has always been one of the very, very worst.

Like, just a sincerely terrible person in a wide variety of ways.

He’s so awful that in a list that includes dog killer David Eason and Ryan Edwards, the guy that nodded off while driving to his wedding and threatened to murder his son’s stepfather, he could potentially beat them all for the title of “Worst Teen Mom Dad.”

During his time on the show, he said some truly terrible things to and about Chelsea Houska and their daughter, Aubree — fans will definitely remember when he called Chelsea a “fat stretch mark bitch” and told asked her how he could “sign the papers over for that mistake,” meaning Aubree.

He was emotionally abusive towards her during their relationship, and he never seemed all that interested in caring for his kid.

Then, when he and Chelsea finally broke up, he started coming around even less — another thing that Teen Mom fans will definitely recall is that first Father Daughter dance when he stood Aubree up because he was preparing for a weightlifting competition.

He’s also been arrested numerous times for things like drunk driving, failing court-ordered drug tests, domestic abuse, and of course refusing to pay child support ever.

He’s such an absent father that he signed away his parental rights to Paislee, the daughter he had with the girl he dated after Chelsea.

So yes, not a great guy, and really the only thing that keeps him from being universally acknowledged as the worst dad on the show is the fact that he’s sort of dropped off the face of the planet.

He quit filming for Teen Mom 2 in 2017, and he quit social media then, too, so the only time we ever really hear about him is when he gets arrested or when Chelsea offers an update.

And, lucky for us, she did just that in a recent Instagram Live!

During the video, Chelsea brought up her ex, acknowledging that “Everyone wants to know about Aubree and her dad.”

“I think he’s doing pretty good,” she shared.

“I don’t know because I don’t speak to him personally, but I have heard good things, that he’s in a good place.”

It’s not a super detailed statement, but it’s still a shocker, right?

For a long time there, it really seemed like Adam would never be able to turn his life around, that he was destined for a lifetime of violence and addiction and arrests, so to hear that “he’s in a good place,” that’s a big deal.

Unfortunately, some things are still the same.

“Aubree’s still not, like, close with him,” Chelsea added. “There’s no, like, set-up time [for her] to see him.”

She did say that Aubree still visits with Adam’s parents though, so it sounds like she still has a connection to that side of her family.

Before this little update, we hadn’t really heard anything about Adam since the fall of 2020 when he was arrested for failure to pay child support and driving with expired plates — he payed a $2,000 bond to get out of jail, and a judge gave that money to Chelsea for the unpaid child support.

It actually seems like for once, this may be a “no news is good news” scenario.

We hope Adam really is doing well, and that he’s able to continue doing well.

If nothing else, Aubree deserves that much.
