What is the pettiest reason you broke up with someone for? – Kenyans' hilarious answers will leave you in tears

Have you ever broke up with someone and sat back hours later to realise that you ended the relationship on petty grounds?

Young relationships in the 21st century are prone to break ups due to the pettiest reasons. This is due to lack of knowledge on how to handle a relationship and improve it. Most people nowadays prefer smooth and steady relationships – the slightest mistake could end them forever.

Relationships are different thus people break up for different reasons. Ureport took note of Kenyans sharing their relationship stories on social media and prepared this list.

Though cheating and non-commitment are valid reasons to break up, some people do it because of petty reasons. These include:

Getting drunk - One Pearl Mumbi said that she stopped seeing her boyfriend because he got drunk on 2 cans of Guaranna.

Can’t spell – Ben Tyga claimed that his former girlfriend always had typos on texts. “She wrote CARESS as CARELESS, “said Ben.

Organisation in the house - Sylvia Moraa said she couldn’t figure out why her boyfriend’s hangers didn’t face the same side and were not the same. “Went to his place and found he has different types of hangers and they’re not facing the same side. Alafu kwa kitchen mayai kwa tray anatoa from any point and not in column vile zimepangwa. Siezi kaa na mtu atanipandisha pressure daily.”

Hair – Cherorno Noniot broke up with her boyfriend because he was too hairy. "Siwezi date msitu."

Identity crisis – Margaret Mwathi couldn’t understand why her boyfriend’s name was ‘Chris Lewis’ on Facebook and ‘Sospeter Kwenu’ on Truecaller.

Too much family love – One Lisa Wayua wa Simon claimed to have left the boyfriend after the family started showing her too much affection. “He introduced me to his family within the first week of dating. The family overwhelmingly loved me nikajua hawa hawajanipenda bure nimekuja kuwa offload mzigo wa mwanao na wao kunisukumia huyu jamaa hivi lazima akona kasoro.”

Signature phrase –John Muriu could not stomach his girlfriend exclaiming ‘ whaaat’ everytime Something happened. “Everytime something happened she would say whaaaat? We even went for lunch and she was like ‘aki hii food ni tamu whaaaaat’ I kent.”

Big word syndrome – One lady was disappointed to find out her boyfriend didn’t know the meaning of the word ‘Promulgation’.”Hakukua anajua meaning ya promulgation. We were watching news with him and I told him how different Kibaki looks since the promulgation of the constitution and dude looked me in the eye and asked me, ‘Promulgation ni nini babe?’ Here I was proud mama yangu aliuza ng’ombe niende shule na mimi nataka kumrudisha iyo ng’ombe…tawe!”

Good looks – Michael John Wakere couldn’t believe the avocadoes he bought were used by his girlfriend on her hair. “Napenda avocado sana. Siku moja nikapita kwa mama mboga, mimi huyo avocado tano nikanunua gatheri my friend. Nikajua leo nikukula mpaka mpaka nilale juu ya meza. Nikafika home nikakaranga gatheri teketeke. Mrembo alikua anacheza na nywele so nikamshow nachapa shower alafu nikam tujibonde. My friend, after five minutes kurudi Napata kimtu kilitumia zote. Amepaka avocado kwa nywele na uso. Aiiii nikaskia mchos tu. Imagine tu!!! Mimi huyo tukamalizana hapo. Ata heri angejipaka githeri.”

Wrong words to use – Vivian Chemiron wondered why her boyfriend called her ‘honey’. She felt the word was an insult to her and her parents. “He called me honey, meaning my parents are bees? How on earth could he do that?”
