Kenyan Woman Married to Mechanic Laments He Dislikes Showering, Got Angry When Told To

 

A seemingly harmless request by a woman to her husband has sparked a heated conflict that is threatening to tear down their marriage. Kenyan Woman Married to Mechanic Laments He Dislikes Showering, Got Angry When Told To Obeezy De Mwenda shared the predicament on Thriving Couples KE, disclosing the unexpected events. According to Mwenda, the husband is a hardworking mechanic known for his dedication to providing for his family. However, he has a habit of only bathing in the mornings only to come home after work feeling sweaty. Concerned about this, Mwenda politely suggested that he start bathing before going to bed to stay fresh. To her surprise, her husband reacted strongly, accusing her of implying that he was unclean. "It's as if I caught a live wire, he told me hao wanaume nimeona wasafi niende kwao (he told me to move out and go live with those men I deem more hygienic)," she wrote. Mwenda disclosed that the outburst left her perplexed and hurt, as she believed her request was made out of concern and love for her family. The situation escalated when, in the morning, the husband skipped breakfast and seemed to be deliberately trying to provoke a reaction. He made comments insinuating that he was being treated unfairly, even going as far as to make derogatory remarks in front of their children. Mwenda is left wondering what could be causing her husband's sudden change in behaviour.
