My story: he/she cannot produce a child but I still married him/her, got nothing in 5 years, what should I do now?

Identify a toxic relationship

First of all, you have to understand that you are in a toxic relationship. There is cheating, lack of commitment and lack of seriousness about feelings in your relationship. Staying in this relationship can harm you emotionally, reduce your self-esteem and take away your peace. Try to understand your feelings and why you are not able to leave the relationship. Is it fear, love, or social pressure?

Have open conversations and set boundaries

You should talk to your husband openly about this. Explain to him/her your feelings and the situation. If you decide to stay together, then set boundaries keeping in mind your emotional and physical well-being. Tell your husband clearly what will be accepted and what will not.

Seek help from people close to you

You should not stay alone in this situation, share your feelings and problems with close people. Talk to friends, family, or a counselor about your situation. Sharing your feelings will give you a new path. Keeping yourself close to positive people will give you courage.

focus on personal development

The best solution to come out of any problem or situation is to stay physically and medically fit. Do not ignore your physical health, focus on daily exercise and healthy diet. To keep mental health right, take help of meditation or therapy daily and maintain a good social circle. Also pay attention to your hobbies and career.

Be patient, understand the legal matters

Instead of suffering pain, you should also think about fighting a legal battle. You can think about your rights and divorce options by taking advice from a lawyer. An expert can understand your situation better and give the right advice. In this situation, you will need to be patient, remember that life does not end with the end of a relationship.
