A Love Bound by Secrets

Amina had always believed in the power of love. When she married Hassan in 2016, she envisioned a future filled with happiness, a cozy home, and the laughter of children. Over the years, they were blessed with two beautiful kids—a boy and a girl. Hassan, a dedicated officer stationed in Garissa, provided for the family while Amina managed their home with love and devotion.

For years, their life seemed perfect. Hassan was a kind husband, a caring father, and a respected man in the community. But as time passed, Amina began to sense something was off. The late-night phone calls, the sudden mood swings, and the emotional distance started to create cracks in their marriage.

Then, one year ago, the truth unraveled. Amina discovered that Hassan was living a double life—he was gay. At first, she was in denial. How could the man she built a life with, the father of her children, hold such a secret? It was a storm she never saw coming.

Through pain and confusion, she confronted him. Tearfully, he admitted it. He loved his family but could not change who he was. Torn between love and betrayal, Amina decided to forgive him. She hoped that their bond, their years together, and their children would be enough to hold them together.

But time proved otherwise. Each time Hassan left for work, he fell back into his old ways. The promises of change faded like whispers in the wind. Amina felt trapped in a cycle of hope and disappointment.

Now, standing at the crossroads of her life, she wonders—should she keep fighting for her marriage, for the father of her children? Or should she set herself free from a love bound by secrets?

With a heavy heart, she reaches out to the world, seeking advice, hoping someone will help her find the strength to make the right choice.
