One can only imagine what being married to Kanye West would be like. Kim Kardashian is, of course, the only person who has insight into this concept as the rapper’s only spouse. According to the reality television star, sacrifices had to be made on her end to make the relationship work.

During her interview on the Alec Baldwin Show last weekend, Kardashian revealed that her marriage has made her a less independent person.

“I think being with a man like Kanye, you have to learn how to be a little bit not-so-independent.”

“I’ve always been so independent and working, and [had a] schedule, and when you get married and have a husband that has their career and then have kids, your independence … you have to let it go. I had to learn that, being with a man like Kanye.”

Kim has been standing by his side through the backlash they received for his political rants and White House visit. An insider told PEOPLE that she has adopted a kind of submissive role in their relationship.

“She lets him take the lead, and she never disagrees with him publicly. She has decided that’s the right move, but she isn’t scared to share her disagreements with him behind closed doors… Don’t think that she’s afraid of him, because she’s not. She’s just managing him the best she can.”
