Sandra Dacha - My military boyfriend dumped me because I bought a bigger fridge
For the first time publicly, Sandra Dacha disclosed the name of her ex-boyfriend, known as Dave, who abruptly ended their relationship years ago.
The surprising reason? Dave allegedly left her after she purchased a larger refrigerator than his, an act he found emasculating.
Dacha expressed profound hurt and disbelief over Dave's decision, recalling it as one of her lowest moments.
Despite her deep affection for him, Dave's departure shattered her confidence and left her questioning why he left.
"I used to have a boyfriend. I used to stay in Donhom at that time. he was a soldier. You know he left me for buying a bigger fridge. Alienda mission akarudi akpata nyumba imejaa vitu mpya hapa n apale akashindwa huyu msichana ametoa pesa wapi.
"I came to learn that men feel intimidated. In his house vitu hazikuwa kama zangu so he left me. That was my lowest by the way. I felt so bad, Dave wherever you are. I have never revealed his name by the way until now," she said.
