Kim Didn't Want To Be Married Anymore: Thank God We Have Divorce!

Folks, I am all for divorce when necessary. There are people who CLEARLY should not be married and can end up doing more harm than good to each other when they stay together.

So, with my "open minded" view on divorce, I decided to watch this season of "Kourtney and Kim Take New York" (KAKTNY) to find out what happened between Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries.

I tuned in every Sunday to watch the show so I could see what "irreconcilable differences" led to the end of their 72 day marriage.

Readers, I have only been left more confused.

We've all heard there are 3 sides to every story. After watching this season of KAKTNY, I believe there are 4 sides to this story. Kim's side, Kris' side, the E! edited side, and the truth.

On Kim's side is an unfortunate young woman who rushed into marriage and succumbed to the pressure of...wait a minute. What pressure was Kim under when she married Kris? This is my problem with Kim Kardashian, and other people who think like her. I know marriage is the epitome of success for some people but when you create pressure for yourself to get married, you end up divorced after 72 days. According to "reports" Kim broke up with Reggie Bush not because he did anything "wrong" but because she wanted to get married and he didn't. Usually I am all for women not taking "excuses" from men about the marriage issue, but she basically man-hopped from Reggie into a few flings before finally steering Kris Humphries into proposing. Not smart. If she had just thought things through she would have broken up with Kris instead of getting married and having to file for divorce.

Ahh wedded bliss...

On Kris' side is an often immature man whose idyllic upbringing and basketball "success" has left him with a serious lack of common sense and etiquette. Men like Kris Humphries dissuade older women from dating younger men. Why would you want to marry a stereotypical frat boy from Animal House? Perhaps I exaggerate, but he was truly childish with his behavior. After watching the two of them I cannot imagine why they didn't realize the clear mismatch. I could tell from early in the two part wedding special (yes, I watched it) that his "sense of humor" and "jokes" would stop being "cute" to Kim very quickly. While everyone was complaining about Kris' behavior, Kim was making excuses. Kris seemed to think that if he started taking his wife's feelings into consideration he would become her lap dog. His need to "assert" himself, often made him look like a rude, overgrown child.

The E! edited side, was very well done to be honest. In the very first episode of the season they made sure to start with all the news clips detailing Kim's divorce. Just in case we forgot. It is still ridiculous to me that the couple filed for divorce even before their wedding special was done re-running on E!. The show may have been, at least partially, edited by the Kardashians but there was still enough evidence to show that the "irreconcilable differences" weren't just on Kris' side.

The truth is, only God knows what happened between the two of them.

Well, maybe God and the TV psychic John Edward. Did you catch last night's episode where he did a reading for Kim and Kourtney?  During Edward's reading he brought up Kim's first divorce (Gosh how did John Edward know about that when Kris didn't even find out till the week before he proposed?). This led Kim to reveal, to Kourtney, that she felt she got into marriage "too fast". Honestly, most of Edward's "revelations" were things you could probably discover by doing a Google search of the Kardashians--or religiously watching all of their E! shows.

Next Sunday is the season finale which, I suppose, will detail Kim's decision to file for divorce. I will admit I watched this so I could figure out whose "fault" the fiasco was. My final decision, it is all our fault. Without us, Kim's penchant for falling in love with athletes rich men would have all played out in a quiet corner of California somewhere. So blame yourself.

That doesn't mean I won't watch next Sunday though.
