In many marriages in Kisii region, there has been this complication as to why Kisii men do not accompany their wives when running errands, especially when going out shopping.
Many married women have been lamenting saying that Kisii men stop being romantic after the honeymoon. However, there are various reasons why they do not accompany their wives. Below is the explanation:
1. Fear of meeting the 'side dish'.
The emergence of side ladies, where married men get involved in illicit affairs with younger ladies, has made men of such character, avoid going out with their women for shopping as they fear the drama that might result in case the wife meets his 'mpango wa Kando'.
2. Some women are untidy.
Most men fear going out with their women due to their nature of poor dressing. For instance what kind of man can go out with a woman wearing a T-shirt printed "Safaricom the better option"? Or " Ongwae Tano Tena?" or even "Jubilee Tuko Pamoja?"
3.Extravagancy.
Some women are extravagant. When they go shopping, they will ensure they have used every single cent in the pockets of their husbands. This makes the men fear going out shopping with them next time.
4. They do not want to be luggage carriers.
In most cases, while in the supermarket women turn their husbands into luggage carriers including their handbags. Some men do not like this.
5. No money.
Some men give many excuses why they can not go out with their wives. However, the bitter truth is, they are broke. They are very broke but they cannot show it. And as men, they resort to avoid feeling unease when their women buy everything including paying for their transport costs.
