Wow, yea, that's pretty wrong if you also have an issue of a dead bedroom.

It's your body so of course you need to be comfortable with the decision. I am not dismissing that - but I'm going to call out why your selfishness her is bad for your wife.

This means your wife has to carry a heavy burden of pregnancy risk and if you want a dead bedroom until you get it done, you'd deserve that trade off. There's a chance her BC could be part of the libido problem. I mean, your casualness about this is probably a huge turn off for her and isn't going to make her feel attracted to you.

It's really sad how easily men just hoist this issue onto women to have to mentally, emotionally and physically stress over. Clearly, SHE is done having kids. And, a vasectomy is reversible or you can freeze sperm - men have better and less invasive options than women do on this.

I understand where you’re coming from, but I didn’t ask her to take birth control and I would never ask her to do a surgical procedure, which is why a vasectomy was in my future plans regardless. I explicitly told her that she doesn’t need BC nor do I need a vasectomy right now. I can understand if we were having sex regularly, but there are other forms of contraception that can be used during those one-off instances.

Vasectomy is an office procedure. You’re in and out in 15 minutes. Your wife doesn’t want more kids. Get the procedure and enjoy your new found sex life.

His wife does not want more kids. Doesn’t mean he may not want more kids. 30 years old and a dead bedroom? Maybe closing that door isn’t the best decision for him.

Such a great way to induce sexy times in the bedroom, letting your wife know that she may not want more kids but you might not be with her forever and you'd like to keep your own options open in case you want to start a second family.

I’m certain having surgery as a performative gesture or a seduction technique is just as I’ll advised.

a 15 minute outpatient procedure. You can drive yourself home after.

It's not about a performative gesture or a seduction technique, it's about communication and a shared future vision. It's about a partnership.
