A Kenyan man identified as Joseph has shared a heart-wrenching story of rejection after his wife of 15 years discovered that he worked at a mortuary.
This revelation led to their sudden separation, which deeply pained him.
Before working in the mortuary, Joseph had met his wife while employed at a construction site.
A friend later connected him with a new opportunity, where he began trimming flowers in the mortuary compound.
Eventually, he transitioned to a mortuary attendant, a role he did not disclose to his wife.
Despite his decent salary compared to his former job, Joseph’s wife began to question the source of his income.

One day, fate intervened when a mutual friend of the couple lost her mother.
On the day of the burial, Joseph’s wife unexpectedly took her family to the morgue where he was working.
Unbeknownst to him, it was also his shift that day.
When she arrived and saw her husband on duty, her sh0ck was palpable. Many onlookers mistakenly assumed she was crying for the deceased, but her tears were for her husband.
That evening, fury consumed her as she confronted Joseph, insisting she couldn’t live with someone employed at a mortuary.
Despite his attempts to explain that it was just a job like any other, she remained unconvinced.
The following day, Joseph received a call from their landlord, informing him that his wife had packed her belongings and left.
