Almost any bride walks down the aisle in anticipation of looking into her groom's eyes and reciting meaningful vows as they symbolically join to be a couple. In this photo Kim wears a shit load of makeup and false eyelashes that cover the real contours of her face and eyes. What does her groom see as he looks at her? She is obviously dressed for cameras and television audiences and her photo deal with People Magazine.
I guess that a part of me would like to believe that reality shows are based on some type of truth. Kim had the power to twist the truth by making sure her show was edited to her liking. In spite of this control, she made herself look bad by doing the following:
On the season final of Kourtney and Kim Take New York, Kim spent much of the show in the confessional, appealing to the public to understand how miserable she became when her fairytale fell apart. She spent the remainder of the show, crying to her sisters about her fairytale and her belief in true love and romance.
Kim showed her true colors by crying to her sisters behind clothes doors while her husband Kris, the man she promised to cherish, sat in the other room (locked out). Instead of telling Kris that the marriage was indeed over, she told her sister and her sister's boyfriend and anyone else who would listen that she wanted a divorce. She told the confessional that she'd made a mistake. Yet, she still hadn't told Kris, the man she'd married for better or worse, that he should make other plans. Kim cared more about the approval of her fans and her audience and her friends and her family than she cared about Kris, the man she married.
Kim spun a story that she thought her audience would swallow about how she should have known Kris longer and how they have nothing in common. When they left New York, Kim refused to let Kris send his boxes of belongings to her home in California, but she still would not come out and tell him that the marriage was over while EVERYBODY ELSE KNEW. Kim is duplicitous at best. If she truly loved Kris--at any given time--she could have given the marriage a real chance. Instead, she talked Kris into moving in with Kourtney and Kourtney's family for the sake of their show. When the living situation became stressful, the couple should have left the family home and moved to a place by themselves.
What woman isn't smart enough to know that this marriage was doomed from the beginning? Not because the courtship was too short. Kloé and Lamar's courtship was shorter, but Kloé has respect for herself and her husband. She is willing to separate herself from the family when necessary. She is willing to forgo fan adoration to work on her marriage.
From watching her show, I conclude that Kim has no personal conviction or confidence in herself. As long as money and fame are her God, she will never find happiness with a husband and children. At the very least, she needs to learn to talk openly with the man in her life.
