The Kim Kardashianship
72 days. That's roughly two and a half months. It's hard to believe that the Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries wedding, which has been highly publicized, was anything but a stunt.This is the same woman who was reportedly scouting for a potential partner within the National Basketball Association, asking the producers at E! to contact teams and inquire about the availability of their athletes. Better yet, she specifically wanted a player from the New York Knicks, just in time for the launch of her new show, Kourtney & Kim Take New York. After what was presumably a failed attempt, she settled on Kris Humphries of the New Jersey Nets. Close enough.
It's possible that there may have been a legitimate connection between the two during the earlier stages of their relationship, but the wedding was a sham. Kim knew it, but Kris in all likelihood was taken for a fool.
Kim Kardashian is all about her career as a television personality. She's an ass and two breasts on legs for some, and an object of concentrated hatred for others. No matter how you slice the bun, she's at the tip of everyone's tongue and it's beneficial to her career. What better way to garner the attention of every single media outlet than by constructing one of the most extravagant weddings this side of Will and Kate? Hell, I'm jealous I didn't receive a free $20,000 Vera Wang gown.
Even if Kim knew the marriage wasn't going to last and emotionally detached herself prior to it, there was no way she was going to stop this wedding. There simply was too much to gain with the exposure, and monetarily as well. If this is true, it's no surprise that she insisted on signing a prenuptial agreement with Kris beforehand.
What's really insulting however, is that Kris only found out about the divorce after having seen the headlines on the Internet. Even a text would have been a better alternative. While I'm sure these situations happen often in the real world, we're fortunate enough to have celebrity volunteers to show us how laughable the concept of marriage has become.
Why do divorces occur, though? Isn't marriage supposed to be the ultimate sign of devotion to one's partner?
1. Getting married at an early age.
Statistically, we can see a trend indicating that a marriage up until the age of 24 is more likely to fail. This makes sense because young men and women want to go out and explore their sexuality. These are the prime years to simply let loose, go out and party, meet new people, and throw up. Settling could potentially bring about regret, and a yearning to see what's out there; what they were missing out on.2. Getting married too soon.
I'm of the belief that it's risky to jump into a marriage if you haven't experienced what it's like living together first. Normally, moving in comes with time after you're both comfortable with one another. However, I think couples should at least wait three years before making the next big step. You shouldn't rush into a marriage. What's the point? If you're thinking that rushing into marriage will keep your partner from leaving you, think twice. You can't trap your significant other in this manner.Those are two of the bigger reasons which can easily be prevented. Practice self-control. If you feel like you're being rushed, sit down and have a talk about it. Kim and Kris are guilty of number two, having gotten married 9 months in. It seems like there was a rush to tie the knot, and a sense of desperation.
"Irreconcilable differences."
That's what was cited. If you ask me, it was as fabricated as "reality television."
What are your thoughts on the events surrounding the marriage and divorce? What do you believe is the most common cause of divorce? Should I ever write a piece about a celebrity again?

What I'm attempting to do is allow them to live harmoniously, but it seems that I'm a terrible peacemaker, because they haven't stopped bickering or flinging spit-balls at one another. I write political satire, short stories, poems and... actually, I can pretty much write about anything; I'm flexible (not physically, unfortunately). If I had to choose, it would be writing softcore romance novels full of seduction, extramarital affairs and incredibly specific details. I'm kidding about that last part, I think.

I think the Kardashian's are disgusting and that's all I have to say about that matter.
As for the reasons for divorce that you listed - I agree to an extent.
My husband and I got married young (22 years old) but we've been
together 5 years, lived together for 3 of those years, and we're happier
than ever. We both don't like to go to clubs, have random one night
stands or hook ups, and puke our brains out the next day. That just
isn't appealing to us. What WAS appealing was saving money for a house,
for cars we needed, for a future for children we would eventually have
(I'm actually due with our 1st child, a boy, any day now).
I think it has less to do with age and more to do with maturity. People
get married BEFORE they have matured themselves. I've seen people get
married at age 30 and are divorced within a couple of years. In fact,
most of my sister in laws fall in to that category. Marriage is about
love and commitment and, most importantly, FRIENDSHIP. I don't think
many people are actually FRIENDS with their significant other and that
causes strain. Before you marry, make sure you too are in sync. Make
sure you see eye to eye on major life issues. Make sure your lives can
mesh well together. You don't want to change someone so they fit with
you - you want to find someone who easily clicks in to place. It's like a
puzzle... find your matching piece.
Poor Kris
Hey! You're back. I have missed your posts.
That's ok. 72 days of smashing kim is plenty. He can move on now.
I value marriage (to a degree). And techincally they didnt need to pull this stunt, but they did it anyway.
He got to smash Kim for roughly 2 1/2 months.
Thats pretty good...
But she was by no means marriage material. We ALL knew this, And to anyone that thought it was anything more are idiots.
Of course I've never met the bitch. But I'm sure I'd wanna smack her with my dick even more than I want to now (That was NOT a sexual reference)
I could care less about the Kardashians or whatever. But, one thing that ticks me off is that Kim (and multiple other celebrities) are making marriage to be a joke. I'm always considered it to be something sacred that you share with another person that you plan to spend with for the rest of your life. I just don't believe in divorce. It seems like the easy way out for some, unless cheating is involved then I think a divorce is necessary. I wouldn't ever want to stay with someone like that.
I don't think people need to be together for three years before getting married, but I agree that they need to live together before getting married.
I think that even after only a year into a relationship if you've lived together you have a good idea of whether or not you really want to marry that person.I've been in relationships for 2 years, 10 months, 7 months, and I can tell you even in the 7 month relationship I knew I would never marry that person...and same with the 2 year relationship.I feel like why waste more than a year with a person if you KNOW you aren't going to marry them? I didn't used to think like that, I agreed that waiting years to figure out if you wanted to marry someone makes sense...but looking back on it I feel like I wasted time.Now I've been with my boyfriend for a little over a year and I want to marry him - we have an apartment together but he's been on deployment with the Navy so we haven't actually lived together...that's the last thing that needs to fall into place for us to get married...we've already talked about kids/careers/life paths/what we think marriage means/what we think love means/etc...almost all of those things were never even discussed in my past relationships because I didn't want to marry those people. I think as long as you both have the right conversations and live together before you get married I'm not really concerned with the time frame.
The total cost of jewelry she wore on her wedding could put my little brother through undergrad, grad school, and med school at Johns Hopkins roughly 40 times. Im all for celebrating love, but thats just unnecessary, overindulgent, and selfish. Im not saying she should have given all that to charity, but if youre gonna get married like that you should at least be willing to shell out some cash for counseling when things get rough before giving up. The whole thing makes me sick.
Divorces happen because people don't realize that marriage is a covenant you enter into, and that it's going to be extremely tough sometimes, even if you're with the person that you're meant to spend your life with. Love isn't an emotion that goes away, It's a choice that you have to make everyday, even when life sucks and you don't like the other person. That's the reason early marriages fail more often, they often have a romanticized view of marriage.
I like the way that you turned a celebrity post into something actually worth speaking about. If you keep that up, please, do continue writing about them :)
a 72 day marriage is already too long for Kim :p
first barbie and ken, now kim and kris... not even the fake couples can make it these days.
but then again, barbie and ken did get back together, so maybe there's hope for kimmykins yet. just kidding, i don't care :P
I did both the things on that list...got married young (19) and quick (after 8 months)...
Poor Kris if it's true.
She is a horrible person. She's worse than any other reality tv show personality, spitting on the face of what marriage is supposed to mean. I feel bad for the guy who was taken to be a fool. We talk about how trying to break up with someone via text or email is crude and idiotic. Here he is, unbeknownst to his knowledge, while the rest of the world is sending their condolescences about his downfall. Crapo. She disgusts me. UGH.
When I was younger, I used to argue that my parents didn't live together until they were married and they were fine. Except their engagement/courtship was for 7 yrs so there you go. I've been engaged to my fiance since June, we've been together for 2 yrs and we're getting married next Aug. Sometimes, while living with him lets me see sides of him that I normally wouldn't be able to while just "dating" other times, I feel that it wouldn't be so bad being in the DARK about those parts of him and his personality (goofball and all) until later in life. But then, I can't undo the knowing. :)
That man is giant.
I don't think you know what you're talking about. Not about Kim and Kris--who cares about them? About marriage. My husband and I got married at 20 after dating only 7 months, and that was nearly 5 years ago. Yeah, we've had some hard times, but we stuck around and did what we had to to work it out. THAT is what makes a marriage last.
@blonde_apocalypse@xanga - A giant hottie!
But yeah, Kimberly Kardashian is a poor excuse for a human being, past all shallow purposes (yes, i want to hang her on my wall. THAT IS ALL). Any person who wastes unimaginably exorbitant amounts of money should be ashamed of themselves. It's not like this is a first. I remember on her show once she needed A PRIVATE JET TO CARRY BACK ALL OF HER SHOPPING ITEMS HOME. What kind of a sick fuck is she? Do you have any idea how much money good her money could do in the world if she only kept a small fortune for herself? She is so obviously out of touch with any shred of reality that she is nonhuman to me; frankly, she makes me fucking sick.
I think large mobs of Jesus Freaks should rob her. and then when she tries to sue them, they should buy a lawyer who's just as good as her dad was for OJ Simpson. muahahaha
Srsly though, she gets mad and cries like an infant when people don't take her seriously. BITCH, that's because the only thing you contribute to media attention is pornographic pictures and frivolous bullshit like your lawsuit against Old Navy for hiring a prettier version of you. When the wax that is your skin starts to degenerate, you will be nothing but a hollow bag of bones. YOU ARE WORTHLESS.
Actually, I think she may be a robot. Anyone agree? I don't think she's real. SHE IS A FIGURINE.
he's squeezing her butt in the pic
they are divorced but at least he got to grip her butt lol not that I'd want to(i'm a fan of monica bellucci, not kim) he can probably do an interview with a magazine about her to say if her butt feels real or silicone-y
@P0RCELA1N_D0LL@xanga - Haha I totally noticed that major ass-grab as well :p
I just can't get over how much money was spent on the wedding, regardless of how it ended quickly.
My parents met in 1985 and married in 1986 and are still together. I agree with above commenters, in that those "rules" are definitely good considerations but don't always apply.
amarriage is really important to me. when i marry, that's the one person i want to spend the rest of my life with and i'm sure it's going to be scary at first bc i'll be doubting if i'm making the right decision and way nervous but i would do my best to make things work out. i believe that when you rush into marriage, you're making decisions that you don't really think through. i think kim made a wrong decision, she made her bed and now she has to lay in it.
ugghhh I hate her even more now. I already thought she was such an idiot
She is an embarrassment to our generation. Spending all that money on one fucking day, is a disgrace. A bunch of the stuff for her wedding was just given to her, it's truly sad that she didn't donate a single thing. She's pathetic.
Well, Kris should've known you can't turn a hoe into a housewife...she's successfully f*ked her way to the top, and as it stands now....looks like she will !@#$ her way right back down to the bottom.
