What ‘excuse’ did your partner offer to end the relationship?

Life in Nairobi can be a daunting experience where a walk down the Central Business District (CBD) is met with shouts from hawkers and touts and devious businessmen waiting to pounce on their next victim.

Then there is also the small matter of motorbike riders and motorists who struggle for space on the road with pedestrians.

But what is perhaps equally dramatic for Nairobians is the growing list of relationships that end as soon as they begin.

One netizen recently inquired on Facebook about the excuses offered by dating partners when they wished to end the relationship.

“What’s the craziest excuse someone gave you because they did not want to continue with the relationship?” she posed.

As expected other members of the group joined in the conversation by sharing their own personal experiences.

“Naona (I see) my ministry can’t contain ‘us’. It’s like we have different interests. Church girls, woi ma,” said one online user.
