Kenyan Woman Shares Accepting Husband's New Wife, Says They're All Happy

• Celebrated marriage and relationships expert Betty Gitau shared that her husband married another woman, and she accepted to be in a polygamous union
• Like most first wives who find themselves in that situation, accepting that her husband had married another woman was not easy, but she saw several therapists who helped her
• Becky later decided to stay in the marriage and started the journey of forgiving her husband while reflecting on her shortcomings as well

Becky Gitau, a celebrated relationship expert, has shared that she is in a polygamous marriage, and they are all happy.

Becky addresses why she accepted the other woman

Speaking on TUKO Talks, Becky admitted that people who say they can easily accept their men bringing another women home are lying.

"It is not an easy thing; no one should tell you that you will wake up one day and be happy about it. That will be lying; it's really difficult. However, it gets to a point where you ask, how long will I fight? When one partner decides that they are moving out, it has nothing to do with you," Becky said.

"I needed a therapist; I moved from counsellor to counsellor and was able to process my anger. From there, I made a decision to stay: You must come to a point where you make a sober decision," she said.

Women should forgive- Becky

Becky was emphatic that she was not coerced to stay. Once she had made the decision to stay, she started the forgiveness journey and also reflected on her mistakes.

"I don't tell women to leave or stay; I tell them to heal. It is not easy for a wife to know there is another woman. You cannot stay when bitter; it will not help the whole set up," she said.

Kenyans react to Gitau's story :

@almomedia9383:

"Uongo mtupu, hakuna mwanamke atafurahia when another lady intrudes their marriage. This is just a denial and fear of starting over."

@marykaruri8994:

"A marriage of three people can never be happy...ni kuvumilia. Call a spade a spade!"

@kezzybett1142:

"Those are pure lies. No woman can accept a strange woman into her marriage."

@maggiemutugi8869:

"The only way to fight them is through prayers,some use some powers to get men.As long as you are faithful in your marriage prayers can make your man adore and ignore then ignore any outside woman.As for an abusive marriage walk away before you end up to 6 feet under.Period!"

@naomymose1866:

"Men if you see your woman wife is easily accepting ur second wife, then know that woman is not fully in you, or that marriage. She will know how to end it."

Kenyan man hilariously introduces new wife

In another story, a video doing rounds on social media captured a man introducing his second wife to the first in a public ceremony.

At the public gathering, the man was seen giving instructions to the duo and asking them to love each other and pamper him as well.

He also praised them for accepting to get into the arrangement without fighting each other viciously as many other women would do.
