Meri Brownis continuing to shed light on the demise of her longtime marriage toKody Brown.

In conversation with best friend Jenn Sullivan and her husband, Meri, who was preoccupied painting the interior of her bed and breakfast, revealed that Kody “asked me over the years to do a lot of things.”

“He’s like, ‘Can you do this? And then, we can work on a relationship,” Meri, 53, recalled.

“He asked me for some specific things. He had this list of things that he wanted me to do in order for us to work on our marriage. And once I completed that list, he was done [with me],” Meri then continued in a solo confessional. “I recognize now that he was like, there’s nothing else I can ask. There’s no other thing that I can use as an excuse of why I’m not working on this marriage with her because I had done everything that he asked of me.”

Now that Meri is officially single after beinggranted a termination of her polygamous marriagethrough their church, her friend Jenn wanted to help get her back out there. But Meri was “not wanting to date” since she’s “been single for like, a month.”

“Or, 10 years,” Jenn pointed out, referencing the platonic nature the exes’ bond took amid the last decade due toher catfishing scandal, during which Meri discovered the male suitor she connected with online was a female admirer.

“There’s so many mixed emotions,” Kody told the cameras separately. “This would be good for Meri to move. It’s a beginning. I got a bit of a nostalgic heart and it’s a little broken.”
