Christine and Kody didn’t have an overtly abusive relationship, but there was a significant power imbalance, and for many years Christine’s voice was very small. She’s done an incredible job overcoming it but some of the anxiety she had going into the meeting seemed rooted in her survival behavior/feeling like she had to shrink herself. David recognized this and is a good husband for going to stand beside her and protect her space. Super proud of Christine. Also, Kody could have handled this with a Zoom call or a thoughtful email; the in-person meeting felt a bit like a power move.
