Tired of people assuming things about you just because you’re divorced? You’re not alone!

7 Misconceptions About Divorcees

I do not understand why society treats a divorced woman as if she has a terrible physical condition. Everyone has an opinion on how she should live her life or what she must be going through. Do not even get me started on the famous line, 'No wonder hana hata bwana!'

Allow me to get some things off my chest. People assume …

I must be bitter. Was I upset about things that happened to me in my marriage? Of course. Angry even. I probably am not over all of them. It does not run my life, though.

I must be desperate for sex. Guess what? I might be getting more action than some married folks! So stop poking your nose in things that do not involve you. It is MY sex life, and it’s personal.
