“Prior to joining KBC I was already dating but we were not living together. It is after I got the job, we started living together.” Gituro explained.
Red flags that she assumed
Delving into the red flags that she ignored, the media personality explained that insecurity was among them with the fact that they did not start off as friends before transitioning into a relationship not making matters any better.
“I had seen a lot of red flags but I assumed them. One of the red flags was insecurity…We were also never friends. Before him, I had a daughter from a previous union,” she stated.

The trend would continue even after she joined Royal Media Services-owned Radio Citizen where her partner would show up at work to see her.
“At Citizen, he would show up and say he wanted to come and see me. Sometimes he would take away the car because I couldn't go out and see him." She added.
With time, communication became a challenge with her partner getting lost into church.
Her attempts to get him back were futile even after involving his parents.

Husband's disappearance from home
The media personality explained that in one instance, her husband just packed his belongings and left for a whole year, leaving her with the difficult task of explaining his absence to their children.
"My husband got into church and he became lost. I tried getting him back without success. I even involved his parents but he never listened. One day he just took his stuff and left for a whole year. The kids would constantly ask where he was, and I had to lie he had died." She explained during the interview.
Among the questions that the children asked was why they had not been invited to attend his funeral if indeed he died.
She eventually had the conversation with their children, explaining to them that their father was alive.
