My name is Alice Wanjiru, and I live in Thika, Kiambu County. I had been married to Peter Mwangi, a mechanical engineer from Ruiru, for seven years. Outwardly, our life looked normal—we owned a small home, drove a modest car, and attended church at St. Paul’s Thika. But behind closed doors, our marriage had been dead for three long years. Peter and I barely spoke. We slept in separate rooms, ate separately, and lived like strangers under the same roof. I tried counseling, prayed, and gave love letters, but nothing seemed to bring us back together.
The final straw came after our second child, Faith Mwangi, was born. Peter withdrew entirely, saying work was too stressful. I was left to handle the home, the children, and the emotional burden of a dying marriage. Friends suggested separation, while relatives hinted at infidelity. I knew Peter was spending too much time away, but every time I confronted him, he dismissed my concerns. I felt powerless. Every night, I cried silently, asking God why a marriage I had invested in was crumbling.
