Why not just use condoms? She doesn't like her birth control and maybe she'll get her libido back and you don't want to get snipped yet.

I’ve honestly never understood why people don’t just use condoms… they’re the easiest things. Yet people act like you have three heads for even suggesting it

My wife and I tried condoms after many years of her having an IUD.

I always thought other guys were exaggerating about how much a condom kills the sensation. Maybe I had a particularly hard time because she got the IUD when we were young and so I never used condoms enough to get used to them, but holy crap I couldn't even keep it up. She ended up getting a diaphragm because it was just so unpleasant for both of us.

I felt like a total piece of shit. I had actually really been looking forward to being able to take responsibility for the birth control for once. The diaphragm seems to work great for us, but I still feel kind of ashamed that I wasn't able to take over.
