Of course he should get a V! This will save him from accidentally getting someone pregnant. Many women will say they take birth control and stop because they want to cement the deal. You can get pregnant with condoms, so yes it's common sense. If you can stay with him OP I'd do it. Only to have your kids under the same roof, plus there's nothing out there if you look around. If he's a cheater you better have him get a V either way. So he disappointed you...who cares about him. It's all about your kids imo. |
LOL You tricked him and accidentally on purpose got pregnant. He's not even divorced, you're only the OW! Now he's stuck, he has to be with one of you because he can't afford to pay 2 women. Wait and see, if he's smart he'll run those numbers. Then realize it's cheaper to stay with his wife and kids. You're a great case for men to get a vasectomy once they their family! I agree with you OP! |
All of a sudden the people against the V for a divorcing dad are rethinking it. She couldn't get a ring so she got pregnant. Typical. Pathetic. |
No and no. |
But he didn’t so your story is completely irrelevant, so move along. Thanks for this non-contribution. |
I don't know why so many people are going berserk over this. It seems like the rational and sensible approach. |
I don't have a problem with it, so long as nobody is being deceptive. If OP says to the guy, "Hey, I'm likely to leave you, and I'd like you to get a vasectomy before I do," then no problem, all adults. |
Patriarchy, man. People get upset if you try to usurp that power. |
If dude is stupid enough he can’t think through things, best for humanity that he not impregnate anyone else. |
Yes. Second marriages fail around 67-70%. Now how many of those 30% that stay married are unhappy? I know few women in 2nd marriage that are really satisfied. Often a mess because of steps, exes, ex in-laws, and current in-laws. OP unless it's abuse I'd look at every angle. |
Many men don't want more children. I ran into my old client a few months ago. At 47 her husband had an affair. The AP was 37 with no kids, and of course it was a accident. Wink Wink. His wife and kids kicked him out. Guess where he went? |
I just don't like deliberate deception. It's crass and tacky. Doesn't matter if the people you set out to deceive are stupid or note -- it's still you doing the bad thing. |

+1 Just be straight forward and honest. "Our marriage is not working out and I think it's best that we separate. I would like you to get a vasectomy before we split up because our first responsibility needs to be to the child(ren) that we have." |
^And, of course, if you can ask him to get a vasectomy he can ask you to get your tubes tied. |
