A young Guyanese woman has reached out to this publication to tell her story in the hopes that it will help her heal and move on with her life. Retisha Henry explains that she was happily married only a few months ago. According to Retisha, one day, her husband suddenly walked out of her life telling her that he just doesn’t love her anymore. She says that her ex husband is now in a relationship with another woman whom he says he loves.
My mother raised me on strict family values, and so I was careful not to engage in promiscuous activities or premarital affairs. I waited for the right person, got married, and tried to be a good wife, but my husband just woke up one day and decided to end it all, saying that he is now in love with someone else.

The distraught and befuddled young woman asked us, “do you think this is right what my husband did?” She related that her husband subsequently advised her to “move on with her life,” since he no longer loves her. Retisha relates that what confuses her most is that her now ex husband is a “pastor.”
Retisha Henry explained that she is now left to take care of three kids with no job, business, or finances, and as such is left to rely heavily on her parents. She relates that it is difficult to secure a job because one of her children is still a baby who, along with the other two toddlers, is very demanding and requires intensive care and attention.
Retisha says she is now looking to correspond with a “pen pal” who can help to change her thoughts and possibly lead to a new relationship. However, she explains that she would like to take things slowly and not rush into a new relationship. She can be contacted on:
