My wife’s boyfriends beat me when I catch them cheating – Man recalls his abusive marriage

Antony Ng’ang’a, a single father of two, has been brave and honest about how he endured an abusive marriage that led to his wife leaving him with a newborn child.

Speaking on Citizen TV’s Shajara with Lulu program, Antony recalled how he first met his current spouse in 2016 and how they were wed right away. He said that their marriage had been difficult from the start.

“I would leave for work at 5 a.m. and come back around midnight. One day a neighbor called me and informed me there was a man in our house and he left immediately after I got into the house. This was after the neighbors told me they spotted my wife with other men,” he recalled.

Anthony painfully recalled meeting his wife holding hands with other men on the streets and whenever he confronted them, they would allegedly beat him up.

“She started drinking and I would meet her holding hands with other men on the road and every time I asked, they would attack and beat me up,” he said.

Antony stopped sharing his bed with his wife and moved into their children’s bedroom, until his wife, one night informed him that she was done with their marriage and left.

“She took the children with her but returned them in the morning including the one who was three months then, I begged her to stay especially for the last-born who I believed needed her mother, but she refused,” he said.

Juggling work and raising his two children became a challenge for him, causing him to lose many job opportunities because of the children. He recalled how they could not afford food or house rent and sometimes they would end up being homeless.

“I would leave my unattended and go look for work and this used to worry me a lot, sometimes I would come home with nothing forcing me to give them water because I did not have food for them,” he said.
