For six painful years, Joyce from Nakuru silently endured a marriage that felt more like punishment than partnership. In the early years, her relationship with her husband, Patrick, was strong. They worked together, built a home, and dreamed about the future. But slowly, things changed.
Patrick started coming home late, ignoring Joyce, and speaking to her with anger. Soon, he stopped talking completely. Before Joyce could understand what was happening, he started openly dating another woman.
The most humiliating part was what followed…
Every Sunday, Patrick would walk into their house with his side chic—boldly, without shame. He would hold the woman’s hand, sit with her in the living room, laugh loudly, and treat Joyce like a stranger. Some days, he ordered Joyce to cook for them while they relaxed on the sofa.
The pain became unbearable when Patrick told her:
“I don’t love you anymore. If you want to stay here, accept that she is part of my life.”
Joyce cried every night. Neighbours in Nakuru gossiped. Some mocked her. Others avoided her. Even Patrick’s own relatives ignored her calls for help. She felt trapped, unwanted, and completely humiliated.Get full story.
