No stonyie for jobless man: Unemployed Harare man goes for 9 years without getting lula-lula from his wife

In a shocking tale of marital woe, a Harare man’s desperate plea for intimacy was laid bare in a courtroom, leaving onlookers aghast.

Joseph Katumba, worn down by years of rejection, stood before the magistrate, his voice trembling with emotion.

” She screams, bites, and scratches me whenever I touch her. She yells, ‘You want to kill me!’ and pushes me away,” he recounted, his eyes wide with fear and desperation.

For nine long years, Joseph had been denied conjugal relations, his wife Stella citing his unemployment as justification for her cold shoulder.

The rejection had taken a devastating toll on Joseph’s self-esteem, forcing him to sleep on the floor while Stella occupied their bed.

Stella, however, remained unrepentant, her voice laced with disdain.

“I am not a sex object,” she declared. “I need emotional and financial security to feel loved and appreciated.”

Her words hung in the air like a challenge, as if daring Joseph to prove his worth. Magistrate Meenal Naratom listened intently, her expression a mask of concern.

“While unemployment can be a significant stressor, it does not justify physical and emotional abuse,” she admonished Stella.

As the verdict was delivered, Joseph’s face lit up with a glimmer of hope.

The magistrate granted him a protection order, directing Stella to refrain from physically and emotionally abusing her husband.

The couple was urged to undergo marriage counseling, a last-ditch effort to salvage their fractured relationship.

As they exited the courtroom, Joseph and Stella walked side by side, their body language a testament to the chasm that had grown between them.

Would they find a way to bridge the gap, or would their love continue to wither away, a casualty of desperation and denial? Only time would tell.
