Media personality Joyce Gituro has recently offered an honest perspective on her dating experiences after her separation from her husband.
She discussed the obstacles and unexpected situations she faced while exploring the dating landscape as a single mother.
Gituro acknowledged the struggles involved in dating as a single parent and confessed that she had contemplated the possibility of reconciling with her ex-husband, recognizing that the journey of dating as a single mother comes with its own unique difficulties.
“I tried dating during that time. Let me tell you I got to a point where I was alike waaah, afadhali nirudi hata kwa yule bwanangu. There is this thing about dating as a single mother. People date you differently,” she said.
Gituro emphasized the distinctive manner in which single mothers are treated within the dating landscape, expressing her admiration for men who accept single mothers and show authentic affection and respect for their children.
“I respect men who marry single mothers and they bond, love, and respect their kids and they move on na hawana appetite ya pesa,” she said.Best gifts for your loved ones
In contemplating her personal experiences, Gituro shared the story of a two-year relationship she embarked upon.
What began as a hopeful connection with a mature partner ultimately exposed various deficiencies.
“Dating as a single mother nilishtuka. I tried dating that time and I got into a relationship that lasted for two years. Initially it was a very good relationship with a mature person but with time unaanza kuona where are we headed?” She questioned.
Gituro observed a disregard for her children’s welfare and came to the understanding that the individual she was engaged with placed greater importance on her than on her children.
“This person doesn’t even care kama watoto wako wako sawa or not. He doesn’t want to create time for you and your kids, just you. In fact afadhali akupatie pesa ununulie watoi pizaa muendee. Then you start thinking kama angekuwa baba ya hawa watoto hangefanya hivo,” she said.
After the conclusion of her relationship, Joyce entered a phase of self-reflection and personal development.
She recognized that this experience contributed to her maturation and enhanced her self-awareness.
Currently, Joyce radiates confidence and self-assuredness, understanding her intrinsic value and establishing clear standards for any prospective relationships.
