Well, Phenny has shared a post recalling the tough life she endured, while still in the marriage.

She shared an old photo from when she was pregnant with her second child.

She captioned it:

In this photo, you'd clearly identify me with "the AIDS Patient"

I was fighting to stay undetectable and it was so difficult, but still I was.

Marriage is a good institution, but can be hell of a time for some people.

I am enjoying and glowing in my new relationship, so different from what I had here.

Happiness is within oneself, find it!.

Phenny Awiti revealed the pregnancy wasn't smooth and it's at that particular time, her husband's behaviour changed.

Faraja's pregnancy was not an easy ride.

In this photo, I was dealing with texts left, right and centre and I was the one who used to call women with "leave my husband alone" kinda tone!

This was 22nd December 2014, and labour began the following day;23rd!

I was dealing with depression of whether my child will be okay, will be HIV Negative.time because even in the 9th month, most of the time, I had to go to the clinic alone! I needed that support from my husband and it wasn't there.

He kept on saying"I am busy today"

I was going through a hard time because even in the 9th month, most of the time, I had to go to the clinic alone! I needed that support from my husband and it wasn't there.

He kept on saying"I am busy today"

And when he came back in the evening, he'd excuse himself and go at the balcony to pick these strange calls.

I started being unhappy in my marriage when it was just one year old. But kept on saying "he will change, he loved me enough because he is negative and I am positive"

I would make excuses and justifications for my ex-hubby all the time.

She went ahead to say,

Even after this pregnancy, I still got pregnant with my second child, in the name of "aloso dak"(I am mending my marriage).

In short, if a woman has had it all, she will leave. When it was time for me to leave, I left.

My marriage made me so ugly, weak, tired, thin and unhappy. I was unhappy for three and a half years, and am glad I left at long last.
