Kendra Wilkinson Self-Blaming, Shares She's Been Too Selfish To Husband Hank Baskett Before Cheating
Kendra Wilkinson herself is admitting that she played a role in her current marriage crisis. The reality star is now blaming herself for not immediately working on the relationship and helping her obviously ailing husband when he needed it, which she thinks ultimately led to her husband cheating on her.
Even though Kendra is refusing to believe that Hank cheated on her, she told Giuliana Rancic that if its true, she would be fighting for the relationship because she cannot live without Hank. This includes forgiving him for the cheating.
Even if he is guilty of the ultimate betrayal, "I am still willing to move on and forgive him. I cannot shut this man down," the star shared to Giuliana Rancic when she sat down for an exclusive in-depth interview for next week's special "Beyond Candid With Giuliana: Kendra Wilkinson Baskett," E! Online reports.
Moreover, Kendra thinks she has a role to play behind this mess. Kendra shared that she ignored Hank's apparent calls for help and now she feels bad about it. Hank was obviously going through a lot of stress and an identity crisis when his football career ended, but Kendra was too consumed in her own problems to pay him some needed attention. When his football career ended, Kendra had to be the breadwinner while Hank had to spend more time taking care of their first child. Kendra surmised that this is what triggered Hank's anxiety and confusion about life.
When she became pregnant with their second child together, Hank would occasionally share his problems with her, but Kendra would not listen. Instead, she'll be calling attention to her own problems.
"And I'd go, 'Oh get over it, you're a guy, you're a man. Do you see this pregnant ass? Do you see what I'm going through?" Kendra shared to Giuliana. "So it was always a competition. There was one night where he literally came to bed shaking 'cause he was going through such anxiety. He was in such a bad place."
This does not mean she is immune to the pain of being cheated on. In fact, when news broke out that Hank is seeing a transsexual, Kendra flushed her wedding ring down the toilet and called up the divorce lawyers. Things calmed down afterwards and up until now, no divorce was filed.
