Paul Nsubuga from Mbale had always considered himself a devoted husband. For five years he and his wife, Miriam, had built a small but comfortable life together. They ran a shop side by side and were known in their church for their commitment to family values. Yet, over time, Paul began to notice things that unsettled him. Miriam often excused herself to go to the clinic without explanation, she kept some medication locked away, and she became defensive when asked about her health. At first Paul tried to dismiss his worries, but the feeling that something serious was being hidden from him kept growing stronger.
