On an episode of her “Khloé in Wonderland” podcast, the star shared, “I know what was done to me was not about me. I know that was about them, and they have past trauma that they've never healed from.”

Kardashian was referring to infidelity that arose in her marriage to Lamar Odom and in her relationship with baby daddy Tristan Thompson.

The Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum explained her former boyfriends would always have a story as to why they were unfaithful, noting they would blame it on their parents or coming from a “broken home.”

“It's always something like that,” she shared. “It's never about the immediate relationship.”

“No matter what someone did to me, I was never manipulative or trying to do the same thing back,” she added.

Regardless of the bad times she’s been through in her love life, Kardashian shared she is still a “hopeless romantic” and hopes the next man she meets is her “forever partner.”

While she’s currently not dating due to her “relationship” with her kids being “everything to her,” she shared she feels “so fulfilled.”

“And I also love that I've taken about three years off of dating,” she revealed. “And I feel like I've really got to know myself on a deeper level.”
