Kody admitted they had a strained relationship over the years. However, for his part, he had been "trying to make her happy all the time." He said there was a constant burden and felt that something was missing.

He also recalled the conversation he had with Christine that prompted the latter to pull the plug.

"My perspective of that experience was she came to me [after building a door in her house for privacy] and she said, 'Hey, we did this work on the house. Wasn't that for our intimacy?'" Kody said. "And I went, 'No, it was just stuff we needed to do.' And she goes, 'Well, are we going to be intimate again?' I never said no, that we were never going to be intimate again. I was at a point where I wanted her to address the rumors that I've been hearing from the kids that she was threatening to leave."

"My biggest problem for all of this experience is that I'm angry," he said. "Fast forward to this moment and grief has settled in."

He continued, "Now, I just look forward to [the] healing process, managing it and coming to a place where we're friends again. We had this experience and that's over and [now she can] have a good life and be well, be happy. But I'm still in a grieving process now."
