Kenyan Women Recall Silently Leaving Husbands Who Were Horrible To Them: "Nilisema Naenda Kwa Duka"

• A TikToker started a conversation about what pains men most when women they thought would cling onto them forever leave
• This saw many women narrate how they secretly left their husbands who believed they would stay in their marriages because they had no option
• Some disclosed that they lied about going to buy things and never returned, while some narrated leaving Kenya with their kids without their husbands' knowledge

Kenyan women have opened up about leaving their spouses secretly after years of waiting for them to change or treat them right in vain.

What pains men most

It all started when a TikToker @flapah_ shared a video talking about how nothing pains a man more than a woman whom he thought had no options left and never returned.

In his words:

"There is nothing bad like a woman giving you an opportunity to be you and show you that she has no options. That woman gets tired and becomes single while still in your house. You will cry because the day he decided to leave, you will weep. And they leave silently."

This prompted women to share their experiences of how they left their husbands without giving them any signs.

Here are some of the reactions from Kenyans:

@cherrie said:

"I left for a new job in Nairobi, and he wished me good luck for the interview. The next thing he heard from my kids was that mum is in America. He used to tell me I am old and no man can love me."

@catherine said:

"That was me. I had nowhere to go until I left bila kukosana. In fact, niliamka nikaoga akasema jioni kuja na fish. I was in my mother's house. No goodbye."

@Consolate Khatenje said:

"My story, nilienda nikienda, na hata he prayed for my journey."

@alicemumu986 said:

"Wakati nilitoka kwake alikuwa ameenda ushago, right now I am ok Canada with my two boys."

@winny3666 said:

"That's me, four years down the line. Niliamka morning nikampikia chai, showered and nikatoka kuenda job. Hadi leo sijawahi toka job."

@terey said:

"Nilitoka nikisema naenda kwa duka kununua pampers. Sijawahi rudi."

Woman carries hubby's items after brawl

Elsewhere, a woman in Nyamasaria caused a stir when she packed household items from her matrimonial home over a disagreement with her husband.

The woman told members of the public that the husband did not contribute towards buying them, which is why she left an empty house.

Social media users who watched the video argued that the woman potentially bought the items with chama money.
