I think it is better for you to get back with him seeing that you are expecting and already have children with him. For the sake of the children, get back with him so that he can support that big family.
Edgar Kigundu, a
businessman
Since you are married with children, sue him and make him support the family by force to sort the issue of children. Children have nothing to do with the situation, so they should not be suffering. Also go for counselling together. Counsellors have the expertise to reawaken broken relationships.
Dorcus Mirembe, a customer care
assistant
Divorce him and open a case against him for child neglect. There are organizations in Uganda which help women like you so that men are forced to support their family. But better still; you can pray for him and the two of you go for counseling in Church. Things can turn around about your husband.
Janipher Birike, a nurse
Since you have been talking to him yourself, take this issue further to your two families. Sometimes such issues can be solved through help by older members of the family. Here he will either revise his habits or resolve to support the family financially, even if you do not make up. Since you already have three children and are expecting another, you need his support now more than ever. If all this fails, go to the law. Report to organisations such as FIDA, they will help you make him cover the children’s expenses.
Elizabeth Kwagala, a businesswoman
First turn to Jesus and he will bring you comfort. God will make a way for you. Your life is better than his support. If he truly changes; he will come around and apologize to you. Additionally; look for work and support yourself financially. It makes no sense going back with him just for the support because when he brings AIDS and you both die; it will not be of any help to your children.
