Woman Dumps Lover After Husband Who Went Missing For 17 Years Returns

A middle-aged woman from Lurambi in Kakamega County was forced to send away her lover after her long-term husband returned 17 years later.

The woman identified as Agrippina Mulupi, a resident of Emukoyani village in Butsotso ward, reportedly lived with her lover for three years and the husband, Boniface Moi Muyeshi, according to villagers, demanded that his competitor be chased away before he could return to his wife.

Mulupi revealed that she had persevered for five years after Muyeshi disappeared in 2006 and opted to enter into a new relationship so that she could support her children.

She added that her new partner was supportive to the point of helping her buy food and pay fees for her children. Together, they had sired a child whom she stated that the now-former lover is committed to supporting.

"I had forgot and told myself that he had left. I stayed for five years and said I had tolerated enough. I found someone who was not from Kenya but from Rwanda," Mulupi told the media.

"He was helpful in my life and used to take my children to school and pay school fees and even when my child was in college he never lacked anything, the lover was the one who was sending him money. He was also budgeting well for the house."

Mulupi added that the return of her husband came as a shock to her but she had to accept the new reality.

She further noted that she had instructed her lover to leave out of respect for her husband as he was staying in their matrimonial home.

"I was not hiding him, I stayed with him and told him that it was not in a bad way that I was chasing him away, but the owner of the house came back and we had to give him respect because this is his house. The lover listened to me and planned to look for his own house and for sure, right now he is staying at his own house," Mulupi added.

She warned that her husband would not be able to cater to the upbringing of the child whom she sired with the lover/

"I told him I sired a child with him but I don't know if my husband would educate the child. He accepted and said that he would deal with matters regarding the child and he would help me when I lacked. 

"We understood each other and now we should give my husband some respect," she went on.

As a show of a good gesture, the woman embraced her heartbroken 42-year-old husband and publicly declared her allegiance to him, promising to rekindle their memories.
