How did Agatha come across her partner?
The single mother provided further insight into the impact the relationship had on her prior to her tough choice to leave.
Speaking to zaia news.co.ke, Agatha, who holds multiple roles, shared about encountering her former husband following a difficult period in her life.
I had recently lost a child, and my relationship with my ex had deteriorated. I confided in several people, including the man who would eventually become my husband. He was exactly what I needed—someone who listened and was there for me. I opened up to him entirely," she said, mentioning that they both shared their imperfections with one another.
Their bond deepened, and Agatha allowed herself to open up to love once more, hoping this time would be different.
Agatha's mother cautions her regarding her husband
Nevertheless, her mother remained doubtful about the new relationship and frequently questioned Agatha on whether she was certain about wanting to marry the man.
She repeatedly asked me if I was certain, and in my mind, I thought, 'Mom, I love him, and he loves me.' I felt that what I was experiencing was genuine love and that we could be happy together. I didn't want anyone to give me advice. I simply wanted people to be joyful for me.
"So my mother and I had a disagreement about it, as she had warned me numerous times, yet I still proceeded with the relationship," she remarked.
Was Agatha satisfied with the plans?
Agatha disclosed that she covered her own dowry expenses without informing her mother, as she aimed to shield her partner from embarrassment.
She mentioned that the man always vowed to pay her back once his performances began to bring in income and a financial opportunity emerged.
"I didn't have an issue with it because I was accustomed to managing so many people and expenses. However, even before the wedding, I wasn't excited at all. Everything I wore, I had bought myself, including what others were using. I felt extremely overwhelmed. I was smiling, but I wasn't truly there," she said.
What did Agatha cover in her wedding preparations?
The same emotion remained on the wedding day, which she also covered the costs for.
I covered 90 percent of the entire wedding expenses. Some of the decorations that the happy couple wore, I purchased. I also acquired the suit that his best friend wore.
When we discussed the location, I covered the cost. Regarding the food, I took care of everything. In short, I did everything. I married myself. I also purchased the rings and paid for the engravings out of my own pocket," she said.

Regrettably, their marriage did not endure. Following the wedding, Agatha started to recognize the man's real nature.
Her spouse was unable to provide for the family, placing even the most essential requirements on her alone.
"I never thought I would experience anything like this. I never imagined I would find myself in a situation similar to the ones I had only encountered in books," she said as her marriage came to an end.
