My Husband’s Vasectomy Was The Best Thing That Ever Happened To Our Sex Life

It’s hard for me to believe that there are husbands or male partners out there who have decided that they don’t want any more children (or any at all), yet they refuse to get a vasectomy while continuing to engage in sexual intercourse with their female partners.

I have known a few women who became unexpectedly pregnant later in life after their other children were already grown because their husbands refused to get a vasectomy. Happy accidents, as many people refer to them.

When I hear these stories, my first thought is usually, hello? Birth control? Then, I think, what an inconsiderate person to make his wife/partner bear all of the birth control responsibility when he could just get a vasectomy.

Starting the whole parenting thing all over again after you’ve already raised your other children sounds beyond exhausting to me — especially if you weren’t ‘technically’ planning on it.

After my husband and I had our daughter together (we also had his son from another relationship), we both decided that we didn’t want any more children. What to do next seemed like an easy step to me. My husband would get a vasectomy. That was it.
