“My wife left me to marry a rich man but I accepted her when she came back”- Man shares his sad story.
Geoffrey Juma, a Sexual Reproductive Health Advocate, has gained internet popularity after discussing his marriage experience.
Geoffrey claimed on NTV’s Your World show that he married young and had his first child at the age of 20.
He had no choice but to drop out of university and work to support his small family.
He claims that his marital problems began when he lost his job and his wife decided to leave him. She vanished with the infant, leaving him alone.
“One year down the line you are living good…everything seems to be OK. The problem started when I lost my job. My wife did not have any source of income, we started experiencing hardships. My wife tried so hard to stay in the relationship but decided to walk away,” he said.
“I had never told my mum I have a child. My family knew i am in school studying, approaching them was difficult. I never wanted to talk about it. I needed to do something to get them back.”
Geoffrey claims he began considering ways to generate income because he believed it was the primary reason his wife left and married a stable man.
“I believe the financial hardships were the main reasons she left, I could not share with anyone other than my friends. I consulted my friends and the told me to move on.
She got another man who had some financial stability. I tried to fight to have her back but she was gone,” Geoffrey said.
He then told his story to his mother, who was sympathetic and decided to start a conversation with his baby mama.
“My mum approached her on a phone call and she said she walked away because of my actions and not financial providence. I understood that marriage is not only about providing but being there for the family. I had to hustle and bring her back.”
The couple reconnected after the talks and Geoffrey found a source of money, and they are currently living together.
“Right now my marriage is good, I am very happy to wake up in the morning to see my wife and my daughter,” he said.
