Size 8 Says She Asked for Separation
Renowned gospel singer Linet Munyali, popularly known as Size 8, has recently opened up about her decision to separate from her estranged husband, Sammy Muraya, commonly known as DJ MO. After 11 years of marriage, Size 8 has shared her emotional journey and the reasons behind her decision to seek separation.
In a heartfelt interview, Size 8 explained that despite her deep affection for DJ MO, there came a point when separation seemed to be the only viable option. “I am a believer in marriage and I don’t hate Mr. Muraya at all. I love him from the bottom of my heart, but it reached a point when I had no other option but to ask for a separation,” Size 8 stated. She emphasized the difficulty of leaving someone she still loves deeply, highlighting that her decision was not made lightly.
The breakup announcement came a few weeks ago via Size 8’s Instagram stories, where she shared her struggles and reflections. “Sometimes marriage works by God’s grace and sometimes it does not work, but all in all, God is still on the throne,” she wrote. The songstress expressed her faith in divine intervention, stating, “But God is still on the throne, I worship you, Yahweh.”
Becky Opens Up About Accepting Husband’s New Wife
In a separate discussion on TUKO Talks, Becky, another woman who has faced a challenging marital situation, shared her experience of accepting her husband’s new wife. Becky admitted that people who claim they can easily accept such circumstances are not being truthful. “It is not an easy thing; no one should tell you that you will wake up one day and be happy about it. That will be lying; it’s really difficult,” she said.
Becky described her journey of dealing with this painful situation. She revealed that she sought therapy to process her emotions and anger. “I needed a therapist; I moved from counsellor to counsellor and was able to process my anger. From there, I decided to stay: You must come to a point where you make a sober decision,” she explained.
Women Should Forgive, According to Becky
Becky emphasized that her decision to stay was not influenced by external pressure but was a conscious choice after her healing process. She began the journey of forgiveness and introspection, acknowledging her own mistakes. “I don’t tell women to leave or stay; I tell them to heal. It is not easy for a wife to know there is another woman. You cannot stay when bitter; it will not help the whole set-up,” she stated.
Becky’s perspective underscores the emotional complexity of such situations and the importance of personal healing and forgiveness. She advocates for a thoughtful and healing approach rather than making hasty decisions driven by anger and hurt.
Public Reactions to Becky’s Story
The public reaction to Becky’s story has been mixed. Many Kenyans have shared their opinions on social media, reflecting a range of perspectives on accepting a partner’s new spouse.
@almomedia9383 commented, “Uongo mtupu, hakuna mwanamke atafurahia when another lady intrudes on their marriage. This is just a denial and fear of starting over.” This sentiment suggests scepticism about the feasibility of accepting another woman in a marriage.
@marykaruri8994 expressed, “A marriage of three people can never be happy…ni kuvumilia. Call a spade a spade!” This comment reflects the belief that a marriage involving multiple partners cannot be truly fulfilling.
@kezzybett1142 added, “Those are pure lies. No woman can accept a strange woman into her marriage.” This reaction aligns with the view that it is unrealistic to expect acceptance of another person in a marital relationship.
@maggiemutugi8869 shared, “The only way to fight them is through prayers, some use some powers to get men. As long as you are faithful in your marriage prayers can make your man adore and ignore any outside woman. As for an abusive marriage, walk away before you end up to 6 feet under. Period!” This comment highlights the role of faith and personal well-being in navigating marital challenges.
@naomymose1866 offered a different perspective, suggesting, “Men if you see your woman wife is easily accepting your second.” This statement implies that some men might interpret their partner’s acceptance of a new spouse as a sign of compliance rather than genuine contentment.
