Kenyans have opened up on the worst punishments they give to their spouses when they have wronged them. Some narrations are heartbreaking.

Opening their heart to Maina Kageni they shared their most hidden secrets.

*Lilian says her husband used to lock her in the toilet.

'My husband used to locks me in the toilet.When I was pregnant, he would tell me to sleep in the bathroom, he would lock me in the toilet, and he would pick a fight with me at 3am.

I would sit on the toilet mat, until he was ready to let me out.

I would miss going to work because of this issue, I had to make up excuses so my boss wouldn’t fire me.

I told my mum's friend about it and she talked to my mum so I left the marriage. We would even kiss in public and we looked perfect.'

Adding

'We by-pass each other since we live in the same estate,he has never seen his son. He locked me in the bathroom for four months.

When I managed to go to work the next day he would send me flowers.'

*Tony said that for him the punishment he had to bear is sleeping on a mattress for nine years.

'In public we were this wonderful couple who showed love and affection, but trust me when we get to the bedroom I take my mattress and sleep on the floor.

I did this for nine months and then in the morning I am the first one to wake up so that my kids don’t run to our bedroom and fine me sleeping on the floor.  

Everyday and my kids would think daddy is always an early riser, but it’s because I don’t want them to know our situation.'

*Leah said

 ‘ I knew that my husband was having an affair but when I went to the  place he used to live and confronted him he turned things against me.

At the time  we lived apart and anytime when he came home we would chat nicely to me, but when we go to the bedroom he would sleep in his suit and he sleeps on the foot of the bed while I sleep on the other side.

For three years he refused to talk to me nor touch me. At some point I locked him out of my life I forgot about him and now he is trying to get back to me, asking what happened?'
