Celeb Update: Kim and Kanye Negotiate Divorce

In the week after the news broke that Kim and Kanye’s marriage is approaching its end, things have not changed.

These are potentially the final days of the marriage of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, sources have made clear over the past week to several outlets, while acknowledging that Kardashian has not yet made a final decision about their relationship. When it came to her marriage to her husband, Kanye West, she hit her breaking point last year. Kim, though, is a little more decisive on what her future will look like, and it’s not going to include being the wife of West. "Kim is over Kanye's chaos, and at this point she just wants to focus on the kids and her own life." There was no final straw, but the breaking point came in the summer, during West’s failed presidential run. "If I had to say the final straw, I believe it was a combination of the presidential run and his Twitter rants," a source said. "It created havoc at home. And though Kim is well aware of his issues [West has bipolar disorder], and tried to help him, she realized it was futile."

The source added that their interests just don’t match. "Kim knows what she wants to do with her life and Kanye is constantly all over the place," the source said. "She isn't in a rush to file for divorce. But it is on her mind." When, in August, Kardashian and West went on an emergency trip to save their marriage, West vowed to take his medications. He broke the promise not even a month later, a huge blow to their attempts to reconcile: "He's off his meds,". "He promised he'd stay on them.’ The last time, part of his negotiation with Kim was that he'd get back on his medication and he would work very hard to control his impulses. He made a lot of promises. And now those promises are broken, less than a month later." Kardashian realizes the relationship doesn’t work and is getting closer to finishing it officially.
