For months, Peter Mwangi sensed something was wrong.
His wife frequently disappeared, claiming she was attending business meetings or visiting relatives. Phone calls ended abruptly whenever he entered the room.
Friends dismissed his concerns.
“You are overthinking.”
But his instincts remained unsettled.
Eventually Peter visited Dr. Magongo, seeking guidance.
Rather than encouraging confrontation or making accusations, Dr. Magongo advised Peter to remain calm, observe carefully, communicate honestly, and avoid acting out of anger. As part of a symbolic traditional cleansing ritual, Peter participated in a ceremony involving onions, intended to represent clearing confusion and seeking truth before making important decisions.
Over the following weeks, circumstances changed.
One afternoon, Peter returned home earlier than expected after a cancelled work assignment.
His wife was absent.
A neighbour mentioned seeing her enter a nearby apartment building.
Peter went there intending only to ask questions.
Instead, he encountered his wife with another man.
The discovery was heartbreaking.
Rather than reacting violently, Peter walked away and later requested a meeting with family elders.
The truth was acknowledged.
The couple separated peacefully before eventually pursuing a legal divorce.
Although the experience devastated him, Peter later said that discovering the truth allowed him to rebuild his life instead of living in uncertainty.
Two years later, he remarried and started a successful furniture business.
Looking back, he believes the consultation with Dr. Magongo encouraged him to seek clarity with patience rather than suspicion alone.
“The hardest truth was still better than living with endless doubt,” Peter often says.
Today he advises friends facing marital difficulties to communicate openly, seek trusted counselling, and avoid making accusations without evidence, recognizing that every relationship deserves fairness, honesty, and respect.
