Dorit Kemsley Reveals Fear That She and Husband Paul "PK" Kemsley Won’t “Make It”
On the RHOBH Season 13 premiere, Dorit opened up about not feeling "connected" to her husband.
Dorit Kemsley is still reeling from the home invasion that took place in 2021.
She explained as much on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 13 premiere on Oct. 25 while talking to Kyle Richards about her "difficult year." As fans may recall, Dorit shared during a June 2022 appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen that she had been "officially diagnosed with PTSD" following the terrifying robbery of her home.
Now, Dorit is revealing the effects that has had on her marriage to Paul "PK" Kemsley. Read on to hear what Dorit shared as well as the advice Kyle had to give her.
Dorit Kemsley and Paul "PK" Kemsley's Marriage Problems
Explaining to Kyle that she's really been "struggling" amid her PTSD diagnosis, Dorit noted, "My husband, the one that you depend on the most, was spending a lot of time in London. I started to feel like PK and I weren't connected."
Just how serious was the lack of connection? As Dorit put it, "For the first time ever I thought, 'Is it possible that PK and I would not make it?'"

Kyle, however, assured her she's also "had those thoughts" about her own marriage to Mauricio Umansky. "I think it's normal to have those thoughts," she said. "I think there's times in your relationship where life happens and it can pull you apart and you can either grow in different ways or you can pull it together like you guys have and start from scratch and put in the work like you're doing with a therapist and come out the other side."
"It's normal. A lot of marriages go through it," Dorit agreed. "It'd be one thing if he cheated on me or he lied to me or he did something and I can say there was an incident, [but] there wasn't. It was like a period of time that I just needed him and he wasn't there."
"You needed more from him," Kyle told her, "and he wasn't capable of doing it at the time."
Concluded Dorit, "I needed more from him."
The conversation about Dorit's marriage certainly won't be the last on RHOBH Season 13, as a press release for the new iteration of the show mentions that Doit and PK will "attempt to work their way back from an issue that almost cost them their marriage."
