The fractures in Meri and Kody’s relationship date back to 2015, when it was revealed that Meri was "catfished" online by a woman whom she thought was a man for relationship purposes.

"During an emotional and vulnerable time earlier this year, I began speaking with someone online who turned out to be not who they said they were," Meri told People in 2015. "I never met this person and I regret being drawn into this situation, but I hope because of it I can help others who find themselves in similar circumstances."

In a clip of "Sister Wives’" upcoming season provided to People magazine, Meri lamented the current state of their relationship.
"I can't make him love me," the first wife said in a confessional about Kody. "{…] romance and sex are saved for people who are in love."

"If Meri and I really wanted to be together, we would," Kody added.
Speaking to People about her comment, Meri said: "It's true. I cannot make any one person feel any way about anything."
