Discovering a husband’s affair with a campus girl leaves deep scars. One woman in Nairobi shares how her world fell apart when she learnt the painful truth. At first, she only noticed money going missing. Bills went unpaid. Basic needs at home were ignored. Whenever she asked her husband about it, he got angry and defensive. He said business was bad, but he still spent freely on himself.
She tried to ignore the doubts. Then one day, she saw messages on his phone by chance. He had been sending KSh 100,000 every week to a university student young enough to be his daughter. While the family struggled, the young woman received money for shopping, rent, and outings. The wife felt crushed. Betrayed. Foolish for not seeing it sooner.
When she confronted him, he admitted everything. He even blamed her, saying she no longer made him feel valued. The student, he said, made him feel alive again. He showed no remorse. The payments continued. He spoke openly about leaving. Sleepless nights followed. She questioned her worth, her marriage, everything.

Many women in Kenya face this quietly. Sharing the story might help someone else spot the signs early. Read more https://drbokko.com/?p=36562
