Help! My husband baby-trapped me

Stuck in an unfulfilling relationship, doing it all alone? It may be time to focus on healing, self-discovery and taking control of your future.

I'm 29, married, and have three children. We had our first child in 2018, in my fourth year at the university. We got engaged in 2019 and wedded in 2022. By then, I had gotten my second child.
My husband works in Mombasa. Now the problem is that this man doesn't even bother to call and check in with us. He can take even one month in silence unless I call him. I have tried to talk to him about the same but no change. I've told his parents but no change either.
The second problem is that this man doesn't provide at all. I was the one paying fees until his parents pressured him at my request. I cater for all the bills in the house as well. Please advise.


Society lays one trap for women, and unfortunately, they keep falling for it in masses. Society wants to make every young woman a single mother to cut down her freedom and possibly steal her destiny.

The society gets ‘disturbed’ to see a woman walking around in one piece and building her life. There's a real possibility that she might evolve into someone who cannot be manipulated or controlled.
