OP here. Um, the pill is not an invasive procedure. A vasectomy is likely permanent.

So.....she should have "respected" you because you chose to undergo a likely permanent surgical procedure? You still haven't explained why you thought undergoing this procedure would garner you "respect" from your wife. Did you mean appreciation? I don't think you're playing with a full deck here.

Suppose you're a DW in her mid-30's. You and your husband decide, after having two children, that you will have your tubes tied after the 2nd child. Five years later, your husband cheats on you with a younger woman, and gets her pregnant. The two of you eventually divorce. Your husband happily makes a new life with his new girlfriend/wife and third child.

Now wouldn't you feel just a bit disrespected in knowing that your husband has decided a younger woman and a 3rd child satisfies his life?

Are you reading? The OP said he and his wife are in their 50's. The wife is not going to start over with another child. The disrespect OP is feeling is because his wife is a cheater, not because he had a vasectomy.

OP is just an anti-vasectomy troll.

Maybe if you cut off an ear as a sign of your devotion she will come around

We both are in good physical condition as we enter our fifties. Sex is okay, but rather infrequent (once a month), with age related female libido loss to blame.

My wife has cheated on me a few times over the past 5 years. Not sure if she will ever stop?

Guilt would wreck me if I were to cheat on her.

I regret thinking that a vasectomy would increase her respect level for me and our marriage.

My thinking is that if the cheating is happening despite her low libido, she's looking for something else from you beyond taking responsibility for BC. Maybe she needs an emotional connection you aren't supplying? Or maybe you don't satisfy her sexually? It can be difficult to drum up the urge to have lackluster sex.

Yeah, you should totally try to satisfy all of her needs so she won't cheat on you anymore.
