Kody and Christine's 25-year-long marriage was in danger after she asked him to move out. While viewers expected there to be some drama between the couple, they didn't expect to see Kody lash out at Christine in front of the other sister wives. Upon watching what unfolded, fans supported Christine on her decision to divorce Kody.

Christine revealed that she decided to end things after a conversation with Kody that happened months ago. The Sister Wife star added that Kody claimed that he wasn't attracted to her anymore, and neither did he want to get intimate with her. Post this conversation, Christine decided it was best that Kody and she didn't sleep in the same room and moved his belongings to the garage.

When Kody decided to go and talk to Christine, things didn't go as planned. He outright denied all the claims she made and shrugged his shoulders.

"I don't want to be married to a guy who's just shrugging his shoulders when I'm asking him if we're going to have an intimate marriage."

Kody then went on to add that the lack of attraction he had towards Christine was because she didn't treat the rest of her sister wives well. Upon hearing this accusation, the Sister Wives star said:

"If I have to meet all these criteria in order for him to be attracted to me then I just can't be myself. He's just not attracted to me. I can count on my hand how many times he told me I was beautiful, and I don't think that has anything to do with my sister wives"

Christine went on to add that she felt like Kody favored Robyn more and said that she had felt like a third wheel for years. Upon hearing Christine blame, Kody became furious with her.
