I'm Tired of Faking It: Sarah Kabu Reveals Why She is Divorcing Bonfire CEO Simon Kabu
Businesswoman Sarah Kabu says she wants to divorce her husband of 12 years Simon Kabu after their marriage became rocky.
Sarah, who co-founded Bonfire Adventures with her husband, said she has not been comfortable in her marriage and is tired of faking things for it to appear like everything is well.
"We have been discussing that we need to separate since I have not been comfortable with this marriage and I am tired of faking so we were in discussion. I wanted a peaceful separation and co-parenting and so on," Sarah said in an interview with YouTuber Christina Lewis.
She added: "Even if my marriage is not working, I believe in marriages because I have seen them work. Sometimes you can lie until you lie to yourself. You could find that you're crying or going through a difficult time but you have to smile for the cameras and assume things are okay. You can lie, but you cannot lie forever.”
Sarah claims her husband’s two baby mamas are to blame for their impending divorce, saying the two have been interfering with her marriage, something she is tired of.
"70% of my marriage life with Simon has been blissful and we have had our good time. We have also had our bad times which we don't show people. I reached a point where I said enough is enough since some people looked up to me, they were inspired by our online story but I wished I had a humble life with love and peace of mind," she said.
She lamented that most of their earnings from Bonfire Adventures, one of the leading tours and travel companies in Kenya, benefitted people outside their family even though they have toiled together.
"You try to build your empire and then the money goes to support his blood. To me, they are not part of me. There is nothing we can do about it. I take it as a charity project. It has not been a big deal since I have been on the journey by even guiding him to some of the good schools he can take them. But for me, he should carry his own cross," Sarah added.
