A loving woman who has been married for 10 years to her ailing husband has recalled abandoning him.
She admitted falling under the pressure of friends and neighbours who pushed her to leave her bedridden husband. Mukagatare Josiane said her husband, Jamal, fell ill shortly after their wedding, and his health deteriorated.
“We had a good life before and looked forward to a more promising and bright but one year after we got married, my husband felt sick, and ever since that day, our life’s condition has been going from bad to worse, and as it stands it seems like there is no hope,”
She tried her best to remain faithful to her husband, supporting him despite the criticism hurled at her because of her bedridden husband. Many encouraged her to leave the husband of their only child as he was slowly dying, and she should return to her family.
“I tried preserving, but a time came, and I abandoned him. He’d call me on the phone and tell me, ‘Please return my child. He’ll feed on what I eat.’ Later I returned home,” she noted.
The selfless lady said she would never leave her husband again, as she regretted her decision to leave in the first place. Wife provides for bedridden husband Jamal had been bedridden for a decade after suffering a strange illness that damaged his brain, rendering him paralysed. His loving wife provided him with round-the-clock support as she is the only primary caregiver he has.
