During last Sunday’s church service,
which was mothers’ day as celebrated in some parts of the world, the Pastor of
the church which I attend, before praying over the women and mothers,
reiterated that there is nothing good about a broken home or marriage and never
in history has it ever happened that a woman was applauded or given an award for
making her home a hell of a place to live.
That warning made me recollect what I read
online a few days before about Khloe Kardashian of the Kardashian dynasty who
was reported to have said on the program Kocktails with Khloé that she would never be unfaithful to her
partner in any relationship she finds herself because of the negative impacts
infidelity had on her parents, Kris Jenner and the late Robert Kardashian.
When I saw that report, it was with an ‘hmmm’ sigh and I thought “this sounds really good coming from a Kardashian” Before you take a ‘misunderstanding’ seat, let me straighten the statement just in case you got it all twisted.

Given the trend of broken
relationships/marriages due to one form of infidelity or the other which is
fast becoming or now even a norm in Hollywood and the other ‘woods’ in the
world, celebrities now have the reputation of ‘who cares if this relationship ends as soon as it starts’ so it
comes as a shock to hear some of these same celebs say they would never cheat
on their partners especially from the ones who have had very controversial
relationships in the past.
Khloe said during the program that the
breakup with her former boyfriend James Harden happened because James “wasn’t committed” and
went on to talk about how her experience given her mother’s infidelity destroyed
her father who died of cancer in 2003 after breaking up with the mother, Kris
Jenner in 1990.
According to Khloe “I saw how it
destroyed my dad... I saw what it did to my dad so I don't want to do that. I
also saw the regret from my mom."
Who knows, maybe Robert would have
made a few more years if he didn’t get divorced. Like they say “happiness has a
way of suppressing illnesses and diseases”. But then, it’s too late now even
though Kris who is now in her sixties has acknowledged that cheating on her husband
at 30 with a producer was her “biggest regret”.
A lot of regrets come after every
form of cheating. When it happens between just dating or married couples, regardless
the type of relationship, as long as there is commitment to one person, once
the other cheats, it breaks a heart gravely and most of the time such heartbreaks
never get mended.
Interestingly, sometimes even after
such breakups, some of these people still maintain relationship with their ‘Ex’
while some others just end up ‘sworn’ enemies.
Back to Khloe Kardasian, let us take
an example using her relationship with Lamar Odom. The duo still remain friends
even after the collapse of their marriage. Khloe had also said on Kocktails that
they both have a good relationship notwithstanding Lamar’s unfaithfulness and
she proved their friendship when she took time out for Odom while he was hospitalized
even though she was already in a new relationship at the time.
On her relationship with Lamar, she
said "People can say whatever they want about Lamar, but our relationship
was so unbelievable. The good outweighed the bad … I still have only great
things to say about him. I want Lamar to be happy with his life. I feel like
that is my role” even as she concluded that Lamar has also set the bar very
high for future relationships.
Hey ladies! Isn’t that sweet? There’s
a thing or two to learn from KHLOE on this!!
