Khloé Kardashian’s husband of less than four years, Lamar Odom, has asked for a trial separation while he hits the road with the LA Clippers for two weeks of away games.

“He told Khloé he needs time to think and be away from her,” “He feels completely smothered by her. He feels like he has lost a lot of himself in their marriage and being a part of the whole Kardashian machine, and he is over it.”
 
Lamar's first night away was Jan. 28 — and he didn't waste any time falling back into his bad habits. He was back to "partying and talking to other women,” just days into the break.  Eyewitness said on Jan. 31 Lamar was grinding with a scantily clad brunette at Bloke & 4th in Toronto. “They were into each other and majorly flirting,”  “At one point, Lamar sat down, took off his knit cap, and the woman was right there rubbing his head.”

On Jan. 30 — their second day apart — Khloé arrived two hours late to a Kardashian Kollection clothing campaign shoot. “Khloé looked flustered and as if she’d been crying,”.She didn’t speak to anyone and went straight into hair and makeup. Her assistant came out and told staff that they needed to get her a glass of champagne. It was only 8 a.m.! Something was very wrong — and everyone was speculating it was because of Lamar.”

 “Lamar just wants to be with his teammates and friends and let loose — he and Khloé were barely speaking when he left for his road games,” the insider adds. "I wouldn’t be surprised if he moved out after this separation. He is completely checked out.”
