“I Made Her Who She Is Today Because of My Hustle, But Now She Left Me for Another Man” — Man Who Sold Water to Educate Wife, Shares
I never imagined I would sit here, alone, telling my story to anyone willing to listen. Yet, here I am, with my heart heavy and my mind racing through memories that seem both bitter and impossible to forget. I built a life with my wife. I worked tirelessly, selling water on the streets of Nairobi to ensure she got the education she deserved. Every morning, before the sun even rose, I would wake up and start my small hustle. Every coin I earned went toward her books, her tuition, and her dreams. I sacrificed everything — my sleep, my comfort, and sometimes even my meals — just to see her succeed.
I remember the day she graduated. I could barely believe it. The woman who had once struggled to make ends meet was now walking across a stage, full of pride and dignity. I was proud — more than I had ever been in my life. That was my triumph too, though nobody saw it. I had made her who she was. Every sleepless night, every long day under the blazing sun, every moment I pushed myself to keep going — it was all for her.
For years, I thought love was enough to keep us together. I believed that the sacrifices I had made would earn her loyalty, respect, and gratitude. But life has a cruel way of testing your faith in people. After everything I did for her, she left me. She left me for another man. The realization hit me like a lightning strike — sudden, painful, and completely shattering.
