Lamar Odom Feels 'Suffocated' By Khloe Kardashian?
Lamar Odom is reportedly is reportedly complaining to loved ones amid reports claiming he is unhappy in his marriage to Khloe Kardashian.
The NBA veteran, 33, has kept a low profile in recent months amid claims that he and Kardashian, 29, are facing marital woes and sources claim their problems stem from Odom feeling "suffocated" by the reality TV star. Friday marked the estranged couple's fourth wedding anniversary however they reportedly spent the day apart.
"Khloe calls all the shots in Lamar's life. She makes sure his assistant gets paid and is in contact with Lamar on almost a daily basis," a source told RadarOnline.com.
"It has always been this way in their marriage. Khloe is extremely controlling, almost to the point of Lamar feeling suffocated," the source revealed.
The pair wed in 2009 after just one month of dating and while they appeared to have a perfect marriage on their hit reality TV show "Khloe & Lamar," a source claims their relationship dynamic ultimately began to cause problems.
"From what to wear, business deals, you name it, Lamar consults her for everything," the source said. "So, for as much as Lamar complains about Khloe's controlling ways, he contributes to it as well and needs to own it."
Kardashian and Odom were often seen clashing on their E! TV show and a source claims the father of two often felt mothered by his wife.
"It's no secret Lamar loves candy and Khloe would nag him constantly about it when she was attempting to lose weight earlier this year," the source said.
"It wasn't about the candy, it was about Khloe getting her way, always. Lamar refused to give it up. He complained, 'She acts like she's my mother,'" the source added.
The couple was rocked by cheating claims in July when two women, Jennifer Richardson and Polina Polonsky, accused the former Los Angeles Clippers star of engaging in extramarital affairs, according to RadarOnline.com.
Within days the affair rumors were then followed by drug addiction reports and while Kardashian recently fueled divorce speculation by dropping her marital name on twitter, she is said to be open to saving her marriage.
"She still wants to save their marriage; she wants him to get better, but there is a lot to work out," the source told People magazine.
"She's taking everything one day at a time and concentrating on herself. Everything with Lamar is very unclear," the source added.
