Khloé Kardashian Quits Her Relationship With Lamar Odom, Here’s Why

Khloé Kardashian and Lamar Odom were in the past year among the most talked about couple on the planet following the latter’s near death experience after overdozing on cocaine in a brothel in Las Vegas. And since then, his estranged wife, Khloe Kardashian has been offering her support both emotionally and financially for the NBA star’s recovery. The following is an excerpt on this by US Magazine.

“Khloé Kardashian is living up to her nickname ‘Khlo-money.’ The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star has been ‘fully supporting’ her estranged husband, Lamar Odom, financially ever since he was hospitalized in October… And although she’s allegedly footing the bill, the reality personality, 31, is unable to control the former NBA star’s decisions.

“She is very worried, but Lamar refuses to listen to her,” the insider tells Us of the 36-year-old. “He actually said, ‘Nothing will happen to me. Look at how I survived this last one.'”

But now, after months of standing by his side and helping him recover, Khloé Kardashian has realized that she will never change him or help him overcome the demons that have haunted him in the past. In a manifesto that she has just posted, she offered the following message in relation to her relationship with Lamar Odom.

“We have to learn to stop taking on peoples problems as if they are our own. Loving people does not mean we have to carry their burdens and confusions on our back.”

She also highlights that trying to change someone else courts disaster. The following is her exact wording.

“You forcing your beliefs and dreams down ones throat is only going to cause resentment and possibly manifest deeper issues. Possibly to the point of no return.”

Presently, Lamar Odom is able to walk and talk clearly. This is a miraculous recovery considering that when he was hospitalized, he could hardly move or speak. Lamar Odom is presently said to have successfully completed his physical therapy and is getting back to his old self. However, his drug addictions are apparently far from over, and he was recently spotted leaving a bar after attending church during Easter.

According to a report by the Daily Mail, sources who spoke to TMZ stated that Lamar Odom has been defiant in dealing with his past drug addiction related issues, although he does consent to going for physical therapy. Khloé Kardashian is said to have been doing a lot to convince him to get help for his addictions. The following is part of the report from the site.

“Khloe’s doing everything she can to convince him to get treatment for addiction. We’re told he’s happy to go to physical rehab, but refuses to deal with his drug demons… She’s even suggested an outpatient program, but Odom remains defiant.”

During his session at the bar on Easter, Lamar Odom is said to have bought several glasses of brandy. This was at around midnight and he was accompanied by two male friends. He is reported to have left at about 1 a.m. In her manifesto, Khloé Kardashian said she has given up trying to change him. The following is her statement on this.

“I say time heals wounds but scars are left to remind you what you have been through and what you survived.” Stop shattering your own heart by trying to make a relationship (friend, family, partner) work that clearly isn’t meant to work. We have to stop trying to repaint people’s colors. We have to learn to believe the love we AREN’T given. You can’t love someone into loving you. (God I wish it were that easy).”
