She recalled having "a lot of trouble" when she went to the lawyers to sign the papers, because she didn't feel "emotionally supported" by the other wife or Cody.
"The rational part of me was, 'No, you still have the spiritual side of marriage.' It felt emotionally like I was getting rid of the whole marriage,” Mary explained. "It was so difficult. And I had to keep telling myself, 'No, it's not. We still have that spiritual marriage.'
Cody admits he hasn't considered ending the legal relationship As a big deal. "In my mind, we were just shuffling legal papers," he said. “Mary and I, after that divorce, left Robin and went to dinner together. I gave her a special ring and we probably went home and made love."
