Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom reached some extent when divorce was the one choice.
In latest life updates, Khloe has hinted at celibacy.
After her main relationship mishaps, that’s greater than comprehensible.
Earlier than Tristan Thompson, Khloe was with Lamar. She is sharing the “pivotal moment” when his substance abuse made it clear to her that their marriage needed to finish.

Khloe Kardashian remembers when she determined to divorce Lamar Odom
In the course of the Wednesday, January 29 episode of her Khloe In Wonderland podcast, Khloe Kardashian had a chat with Mel Robbins about Lamar Odom and extra.
“I remember, I was married and my ex-husband had a drug addiction,” she recalled. “And I knew that his addiction always heightened — he was in the NBA.”
Khloe continued: “And his addiction always heightened when he was in the off-season, cause idle time is the devil’s playground.”
“And so I remember he was asked to go to Team USA, if I remember correctly, and I was begging, ‘Please, please go to Team USA,’” Khloe Kardashian stated of her dialog with Lamar Odom.
“And I was pushing, and I remember he just looked at me and said, ‘You can’t want it more than I do,’” she quoted.
“But I remember when he said, ‘You can’t want it more than me’ and ‘I don’t want it’ — it was so profound,” Khloe expressed.

‘I can’t need your life greater than you’
“It’s so silly, ’cause I know that,” Khloe admitted. “But I wanted it so badly, because I wanted to help him and to get him to feel the motivation and feel good, but he just wasn’t in that place.”
She went on to state: “It took me a long time to get to, then I had to file for divorce.” That was a significant choice.
“That was a very pivotal moment in my life,” Khloe characterised. “Because I remember that statement being like…’Yeah, you’re right. I can’t want your life more than you.’”

Khloe then delved into how having been married to an addict has altered the best way that she views relationships.
“In hindsight, I was like, I don’t wanna be with someone that does [hard drugs], even just a little,” she revealed.
“Because it could easily be a slippery slope,” Khloe nervous. “But you are in love and you’re like, ‘It’s fine.’”

Does Lamar Odom need Khloe Kardashian again?
There have been hints that Lamar desires Khloe again in recent times.
He is aware of that dishonest on Khloe was one of many worst errors that he made in his life. Though, after all, it was not the one contributing issue of their divorce — and seemingly was not the first one.
No matter how Lamar Odom could really feel, Khloe Kardashian appears to view her erstwhile marriage as a bittersweet lesson — and never as a mistake that she intends to repeat.
