Deep dives
Chloe's Relationship with Tristan Thompson
Chloe Kardashian's relationship with Tristan Thompson has been a subject of scrutiny. Despite Tristan's multiple instances of infidelity and his failure to provide child support for his son with Jordan Craig, Chloe continues to be involved with him. This pattern of dating men who are still in relationships has been observed in Chloe's past, including her involvement with French Montana while he was dating rapper Trina. There is speculation that Chloe's pick-me attitude and desire to fix broken men stems from feelings of inadequacy and a need for validation. The manner in which Chloe handles these relationships and the way she expresses herself on the reality show indicates a lack of self-awareness and accountability.
The Kardashian Family Dynamics
The Kardashian family has a history of choosing broken men and getting involved in complicated relationships. The absence of their father figure, Robert Kardashian, led them to consistently seek out hypermasculine partners to fill the void left by his passing. This pattern can be seen in Khloe's choice of Tristan Thompson, whom she tries to fix and nurture. This dysfunction within the family is also reflected in Kris Jenner's own behavior, as she has a tendency to be selfish and engage in adultery. The family's dynamics revolve around the idea of being the fixer and the nurturer, which has become a defining characteristic for Khloe.
The Karma of Khloe Kardashian
Khloe Kardashian's treatment of Jordan Woods, her sister Kylie's former best friend, showcased a sense of entitlement and a desire to dominate other women. When the situation backfired and the support came pouring in for Jordan, Khloe struggled to handle the backlash and resorted to playing the victim. This behavior is indicative of someone who believes they are superior and can control others. However, it is important to note that Khloe's actions and choices have consequences, and her current situation with Tristan Thompson might be an example of karma catching up to her.
Predictions for Khloe and Tristan's Future
It is likely that Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson will continue their on-again, off-again relationship, with Tristan exerting a certain level of control over Khloe. Despite his infidelity and failure to provide for his other children, Khloe appears to be stuck in a pattern of trying to fix and nurture him. This dynamic will likely persist, as Khloe's desire to be the savior and the fixer overrides her own well-being and self-awareness. Unless Khloe recognizes and acknowledges her part in these toxic relationships, it is unlikely that she will break free from this pattern.
