He said the main reason their marriage broke is that Gloria always involved her family when they had issues or any form of disagreement. Their dirty linen was always in public.
The couple had a colourful wedding at PCEA Nairobi West and later on after 5 years, they renewed their wedding vows at Hilton Hotel, Nairobi.
According to Eric, he was determined to make the marriage work but sadly it did not. He was never for the idea of divorce.
WHEN WE STARTED LiVING TOGETHER THE MARRIAGE STARTED BEING A COMMUNITY MARRIAGE.SHE WOULD TELL HER FRIENDS OF HOW I AM FROM A DIFFERENT SIDE.
ADDING THAT I HAD NOT EVEN GONE TO SEE HER PARENTS.
WE WERE ROLE MODELS TO SO MANY PEOPLE.
I WAS 100% SURE OUR MARRIAGE WOULD WORK.
Pastor Omba added,
iT IS GOOD TO GET TO KNOW A PERSON WELL BEFORE YOU GET MARRIED TO THEM. MY MARRIAGE TO GLORIA TOOK SEVEN MONTHS. (ENGAGING AND MARRYING HER). I WAS NOT YOUNG AND I WAS NOT FOOLISH WHEN I DECIDED TO STAY WITH HER I KNEW MARRIAGE WILL WORK.IT WAS NOT ON A TRIAL AND ERROR BASIS, EVEN GOD KNOWS I AM TELLING THE TRUTH.
Eric added that Gloria went as far as getting a restraining order.
i NEVER WANTED TO DIVORCE HER BUT I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM HER LAWYER ME FROM BEING CLOSE TO HER.I AM SUPPOSED TO BE 10 METERS AWAY FROM HER.
I USED TO CRY AND BEG HER EVEN FOR THINGS I WAS NOT SURE I HAD DONE.
Gloria had accused him of infidelity.
I ALWAYS KNEW HE WAS CHEATING ON ME. FRIENDS WOULD ALWAYS COME AROUND WITH REPORTS BUT I ALWAYS SHUT THEM OUT.
I DID NOT WANT OUTSIDERS, BUT GOD TO SOW ME THE TRUTH .
IN FACT, BESIDES MY FAMILY AND ONE BISHOP, NO ONE ELSE KNEW THE HELL I WAS GOING THROUGH.
But in the interview with Tamima the pastor said he has never cheated.
