Kourtney Kardashian Barkerstill doesn’t fully trustKhloé Kardashian’s exTristan Thompson.
In a preview for next week’s episode ofThe Kardashians, Tristan, 32, appears to be taking steps to mend his relationships with Kourtney andKylie Jennerafter cheating on Khloé multiple times.
Before he can do so, Khloé, 39, warns her ex, “In this family, if you do something to one of us, it affects everyone.”
Tristan is seemingly up for the challenge, asserting: “I’m in the place now where I can own up to the mistakes I made.”
However, tensions appear to run high when the NBA player finally sits down with Kylie, 26, and Kourtney, 44.
“Tristan is coming over and I do feel a little nervous,” Kylie says, before Tristan finally shows up and admits to the beauty mogul, “Everyone got affected differently, but I think you were affected the most.”
In a confessional, Kourtney admits, “Tristan and I really have not connected and I just can’t fake it.”
When the two finally do meet, Kourtney asks Tristan if he feels anything after he cheats. “Disgusted,” Tristan responds, which prompts Kourtney to ask, “So then why do you do it again?”

Though Khloé hasa positive co-parenting relationshipwith Tristan, she told cameras that she didn’t blame her 11-year-old niece for feeling the way she does.
“Where I am at with Tristan has nothing to do with what I expect my family members to do. If Penelope has feelings about Tristan, rightfully so. And good for you, girl,” she said. “I want Penelope to have these feelings and I don’t wanna talk her out of them because I don’t want this behavior to be something that I’m validating or I’m justifying. I want her to know that how she feeling is the right way to feel. We should not accept someone treating us like this.”
