I hope these men who don’t want more kids but cringe at the idea of having a vasectomy are using condoms rather than expecting their wives to use hormonal birth controls, iuds, abortion etc |
OP here. I have never wanted kids. I didn’t have to wait for marriage because kids were already off the table for me. I don’t like kids and was 100% sure u wouldn’t change my mind. I did not want to accidentally get someone pregnant. Plus, vasectomies are reversible if one desires to have kids. |
| Op, clearly I'm not your mother, but I'm sending this in her absence ... a big f g slap across the back of your head. Stop being stupid! |
|
I'm surprised so many people want OP to support this deadbeat? If this was a man there is no way the consensus would be to just support him while he sits on his a*s.
She can take her rest at a friends house or place she rents. OP does not need to keep a leech, and he does not need to support one either. |
| There is no such a thing as a telehealth degree btw. One has a degree to provide some type of medical service. The telehealth part just means using some online application to interact with the patients, instead of in person. That part can be accomplished by children nowadays. |
you don't need a special certificate. A juice face isn't going to fix inflammation. But it's clear you're fine with this and want to stay with her so, go do that and leave us alone with your nonsense. |
OP here. I don’t say there was. I said she plans to get certifications and transition to Telehealth. Certifications she wants to get ACOMT DN OPC |
| OP you seem to have made up your mind about all of this. Genuinely, why did you even post? |
Yup, troll vibe. |
It would give me pause too. Once you marry there are huge financial responsibilities that don’t necessarily go away if you divorce. This is especially true if you have kids. It’s one thing to make a plan together where one or the other takes a break but or where one supports the family due to an unexpected job loss. It’s quite another to be forced into being a caretaker and fully responsible for supporting the family. I would not t continue in this relationship. And I would definitely no longer be engaging in any behavior where pregnancy is a potential consequence. |

If you know her well, have been with her for two years, love her, want to marry her, have no plans to have expensive kids, she has a professional degree and history of employment, she has health issues and wants to take couple of months off to rest and reset while doing certification to change career, it seems fine to support this phase for her.
Obviously people here are jaded and suspicious because they don't know her but you do. You need to go with your gut feeling. Worst case scenario, she stays unemployed, you earn enough to support both of you and don't have kids to send to private schools and colleges. More likely scenario, she stays unemployed for a bit, gets bored and gets a job or goes to school. I don't see a huge issue here. |
| If you were married, it could be an issue as you would be liable for any debt she collects and alimony if you divorce but that's not the case here. Do you think she would've supported you if you were in such position? |
| It would've made more sense if you two were to get married and have kids, considering she is 30 and you are 35 so good time to start family and SAHM until kids go to full time public school KG, collect any higher degree or certification etc. |
Well you got a kid now! The Universe has a great sense of humor. |
Wow you sound militant. Men don’t need permission from anyone to get a vasectomy. Women complain all the time about being having to be the women who takes care of BC, but OP gets flamed for it? You must live in a tiny world lady. As a healthcare worker, there are a number of 20-30’s non-married men coming in for a vasectomy. |
