Tuesday, January 20,
2026 - Content creator Lydia Wanjiru has opened up
about the financial sacrifices she made during a past relationship, revealing
how she supported her boyfriend’s family hoping he would marry her.
In a candid Instagram post on Tuesday, January 20th,
2026, Lydia recounted events from January 2017, when she
travelled to Nakuru to help her boyfriend’s sister return to school.
“Hapa ni January 2017. I travelled to Nakuru to help take his sister back to school,” she wrote, explaining that she paid school fees and shopping costs despite sharing household expenses on a 50‑50 basis.
Lydia added that she regularly sent money to his mother.
“I was sending his mum money every month, sometimes every
other week,” she revealed
She admitted that the burden felt unfair, as she was
contributing both at home and to his family’s needs.
The experience made her question the idea of sacrifice in
relationships.
“Once again, huwezi ni feelisha na mapenzi,” she
said, adding that effort alone does not guarantee commitment.
“I’ve done it all… kama ni kukua submissive na ku
‘support’ your man ndio hufanya watu waolewe ningekua front line.”
Lydia also shared what she described as one‑sided dating
experiences.
She recalled being taken on a date at a supermarket.
“Hapa nilikua nimepelekwa date pale Naivas ya Mountain
Mall,” she said, explaining that she ended up paying for the food.
“I bought the supermarket food, and we sat at the cafe
area.”
According to her, even insisting on dates did not change
anything.
“Once you insist on dates to someone who doesn’t even care, you’ll pay for everything, including fare ya matatu,” she concluded.
