Why Kody Brown from Sister Wives describes Falling in Love as “A Painful Experience” on the TLC series’ June 8 special.
Kody Brown opened up about the challenges of falling in love while facing public scrutiny and judgment from his ex-wives during the June 8 special of Sister Wives. He expressed that while his love for Robyn Brown is strong, the reactions from others have made the experience painful. He noted that the world seems to dislike true love and often reacts negatively to it.
“It's like the world hates true love so much that they want to be really, really crappy about it,” Kody stated on the June 8 one-on-one special of the TLC reality series. “It's been a painful experience falling in love, not from the person I fell in love with, but from the world outside of it.”
"Where we are not, we have learnt to be careful. Because when true love is exposed, it summons down anger," the 56-year-old continued, adding that it is simple to "behave frankly" when he and Robyn are alone and feel secure.

Robyn, on her part, discussed the difficulties of navigating the family's existing rules about affection and how she was expected to conform to their traditions. For her part, Robyn who spiritually married Kody in 2010 before becoming his legal wife four years later

“I was told I didn't have a say,” she went on. “I was told that I needed to conform to what they were doing. And I was trying really hard not to rock the boat, too.”
