that couple .
The many things that Kanye has done and said which border on the insane has painted him the nearest thing Ochieng can imagine to a psycho yet the marriage had endured for so long and his wife seemed always collected and virtually immune to his drama .
Apart from a penchant to nudity and exhibitionism , which is what got the attention of the world , Kim has portrayed herself and to all intent and purpose conducted herself as a dutiful wife , an attentive mother and friend to her extended family .
When a marriage is a reality show couple , one is always confused as to which part of the behavior is real and which is meant for the camera . A marriage that is lived in the open to the minutest detail is already odd by any standards , but is even weird when they are also raising a family .
