Kim Kardashian recently sat down on Call Her Daddy and opened up about why her marriage with Kanye West (Ye) reached the breaking point. According to Kim, the decision to divorce was rooted in loss of peace, unpredictability, and a struggle to feel safe in her own life.
“I Didn’t Know What to Expect … That Was Unsettling”
Kim explained that during the marriage, she often woke up with uncertainty about what the day would bring. That lack of stability became a red flag for her. She said, “I didn’t know what to expect when I wake up … That’s an unsettling feeling.” HotNewHipHop
She recalled moments when Kanye would act erratically — including selling off family cars — that made her question whether continuing the relationship was healthy. HotNewHipHop

The Hardest Part: When You Love Someone But Can’t Live With Them
In reflection, she said one of the hardest truths was how people change — sometimes so much that you can’t recognize them anymore. She put it plainly: “When circumstances change … you can’t ever get that person back, but you can’t live with the new person.” iHeart+1
Kim also admitted that the decision to put herself first came with guilt but was necessary. She said for too long she made sacrifices to maintain appearances, but in her 40s, she’s determined to choose stability, peace, and genuine happiness. Capital
