Khloe Kardashian reportedly has no desire to take Lamar Odom back as her husband, and on the contrary, she's still very much invested in boyfriend James Harden.

The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star's situation with Odom -- who is still recovering from an October drug overdose in an LA hospital -- is "delicate," according to a RadarOnline insider.

"Lamar's so sensitive and there's no easy way for Khloe to tell him she's not coming back [as his wife]," the insider said, adding that Kardashian just visited Odom on December 26. "She's finding the whole strain of running his finances and medical planning way too much to bear, since so much of her own life has had to go on hold."

Friends are reportedly concerned Kardashian has turned to partying and drinking to mend her heart and take her mind off Odom. The reality TV star is struggling with how much time to spend at Odom's side considering she has such a busy life and career of her own.

"Divorce is still going forward. Doesn't mean I won't be there through sickness and health. I've proven that," Kardashian ranted on social media last month.

Kardashian is allegedly pushing Odom away more than ever because she's trying to salvage her relationship with Harden, a 26-year-old NBA player for the Houston Rockets whom she's been dating since the summer.

"He has been a saint, but he's getting extremely frustrated at still playing second fiddle to Lamar," the insider told RadarOnline. "That's why Khloe's had to start the withdrawal process -- she's terrified of driving James any further away."

"It hasn't been easy," a source close to the Kardashian family told People. "James obviously has wanted to see her more and be with her more, but she's felt like she needed to stay in LA to be with her family and to deal with Lamar stuff. That has put some strain on things."

But Kardashian was able to sneak away and have a little date with Harden on Tuesday night.

"She is with him now in Houston. She went to his game last night and bowling," the family source noted. "They are still together and having fun."
