A Kenyan man, identified simply as Rajab Abdul, is heartbroken after his wife left him after their business went bankrupt.
The father-of-two has revealed that he once forgave his wife after cheating on him, but she dumped him at the first sign of trouble.
Rajab said when he and his wife got married, they had a wonderful relationship. He said they started a very successful fruit business and eventually opened a fast-food restaurant.
However, their business suffered a setback during the COVID-19 pandemic, which strained their marriage.
“I remember one day I asked her if she had weighed the meat that was delivered by the supplier to confirm if we were paying for the amount ordered. She got so upset and attacked me with a knife. She cut my leg. I still have a scar to date. I forgave her,” he said.
Their business continued to decline and he was forced to seek work outside of town in order to support his family.
He claimed that on one occasion, he returned home earlier than planned and found his wife in bed with another man.
“I could not believe it when I saw them on my bed. It hurt so bad. I forgave her because I knew my children would suffer if we separated.” he said
He said he decided to forgive her and they continued living together after she promised to stop her philandering ways.
However, he was shocked again when he returned from work to an empty house. His wife had carried everything in the house, including his clothes.
“I don’t know what I did to deserve this. It is very painful. I cannot stop thinking about my children. I don’t want them to grow up without me. I would like to tell her to remember that our children need their father even though she no longer wants to be with me,” he said with tears rolling down his eyes.
