Kim Kardashian has opened up about what caused her previous relationship to break down as she admitted the whole thing has spurred her on to make a major discovery in therapy.
The 43-year-old star of The Kardashians opened up about her unnamed beau on the season five finale of the reality TV show.
In the latest episode, Kim discussed with her older sister Kourtney, 45, exactly how her 'fight-or-flight' personality impacts her relationships.

The SKIMS founder explained: "When someone tells me not to do something that I planned on, I physically get, like, 'You’re getting in my way and I will bulldoze whatever is in my way because you’re not going to tell me to change my schedule'."
"I feel like that’s how I would get in relationships," Kim went on before getting into how this trait of hers ended up impacting her love life with an ex whose name was censored out of the TV programme.
"Like when [redacted] would tell me, 'You work so much, why don’t you just take a week off?' I’m like, 'Get out of here!'" she carried on, revealing that she downright refused to take on-board the suggestion at the time.
"That was the beginning of the end," Kim finished up.
Following Kourtney's advice to seek therapy, Kim also discovered that her self-proclaimed calm demeanour was a 'trauma response' to the Paris robbery which took place a few years back in 2016 where she was held at gunpoint while her jewellery was stolen.
On a previous episode which aired on 18 July, the mum-of-four told her younger sister, Khloé, 40: "I met with a therapist and she was like, 'You think calm is your superpower. I think you are so desensitised to trauma that you are literally frozen in fight-or-flight'."
In a confessional, the social media personality recalled that her being calm during the traumatic event 'served her well'.
"It saved my life," she said, "but I think I let it get too calm to where people can take advantage of my calmness—or I'm just turning into a full robot with no emotion."
She also noted that she is now able to recognise that she's been 'running away from dealing' with her trauma by keeping so busy.
Kim previously opened up about her 'man-ifest list' which details everything that 'turns her on' with traits including; good hygiene, good teeth, patient, supportive, successful, no heavy baggage, no balding and someone that can be a role model for her kids.
