It is not hard to admit that the relationship between Disick and Kardashian has been a roller coaster at best. Disick struggled with substance abuse, commitment issues and not knowing how to simply act his age. Viewers watched each week on "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" and saw just how difficult sustaining a healthy relationship with Disick could be for Kourtney. In the nine years that they were together, despite what the tabloids suggested, what her family insisted upon and what friends tried to explain, Kourtney always saw past his childish behavior and remained loyal. Being the dedicated fans that we were, we rooted for Scott through every fight, narcissistic comment and stint in rehab. We never lost faith that the Lord would prevail.
However, with recent leaked photos displaying a touchy-feely Disick being a little too up close and personal with stylist Chloe Bartoli, I think it’s time we finally accept what we have been denying for a long time: Kourtney must move on. She can do a lot better.
As with every monumental celebrity breakup, it’s important to take the time to process the ending of such an important era. So, as Disick continues on his downward spiral out of Kourtney's life, we must take a moment to try and get through this time of despair, together. Ugh, so-long Kourtney and Scott.
Here are the seven stages of grief when processing the Kourtney-Scott breakup.
1. Shock and Denial
Of course our first reaction to the break up rumors were "No way!" I mean, they have three genetically blessed children, a reality show empire, and nine years of relationship experience under their belts. Disick would never do that! Those pictures are definitely Photoshopped, right?
2. Pain and Guilt
Suddenly tons of magazines and TV shows began to confirm the breakup news. The reality of the breakup had begun to set in. Scott how could you do this to Kourtney? Nine years with her, and he still can't get his act together. What a disgusting monster!
3. Anger and Bargaining
Who would have thought that hating Scott Disick was possible? However a cheating man is not something anyone, much less a Kardashian will ever tolerate. Maybe if he had just gone to rehab one more time, none of this would have happened. What a pig.
4. Depression
Thinking back on the good old times when Kourtney and Scott were happy only makes it harder. We completely lose it over how things will never be the same! Time for a Kardashian binge-watching marathon. Where is my bottle of wine?
5. The Upward Turn
But maybe this is all for the best. Now that Kourtney isn't worried about Scott all the time, she can focus on more important things, like shoes or Rob's sock company or her kids.
6. Reconstruction and Working Through It
Actually, come to think of it, who ever needed Scott around anyway? Did he really ever do anything that great? Let's be real if Kourtney was Batman, he was definitely always Robin.
7. Acceptance and Hope
Now if Kourtney can move on without Scott just fine, then so can we! No one likes a cheating Lord anyway. Buh-bye Scott!
