“My Husband Threatened to Leave Me Because I Couldn’t Conceive” – Mary from Mukono Breaks Down

My name is Mary, and I come from Mukono, Uganda. For many years, I carried a heavy burden that almost destroyed my marriage. Like many women, I dreamed of having children and building a family with the man I loved. Unfortunately, my dreams seemed impossible because I could not conceive. My husband and I had been married for over five years, yet we had no child. At first, he was patient, but as time passed, the pressure from his family and friends grew stronger. People whispered behind my back, and some even openly mocked me, calling me barren.

I visited hospitals and clinics many times to find out what was wrong. Doctors ran different tests, and in the end, they told me that there was nothing medically wrong with me. They advised me to stay hopeful, but month after month passed with no sign of pregnancy. My husband began to lose patience, and our relationship changed. He stopped being warm and started spending less time at home. I could feel the distance between us, and it broke my heart. One evening, during a serious argument, he told me that he was considering leaving me to marry another woman who could give him children. That was the lowest moment of my life.TO READ MORE, TAP HERE
