[quote=annalee007]My husband and I both 100% we don't want any more kids, and we are deathly afraid of getting pregnant by accident. (We have a 2 babies under 2.)We are careful now, but need a long-term, reliable solution. I don't want to be on birth control and he doesn't want to wear condoms (not that either are super reliable). Both my pregnancies were HORRIBLE and my quality of life during that time went down to zero (nausea 24/7 - could barely walk, sit, etc.)  I feel like we women do all the work, suffer the most, and then after pregnancy and childbirth we are still expected to add hormones or insert things into our bodies so we don't get pregnant while the man continues to do whatever he wants without a worry.  This is completely unfair. In a situation like ours, he can get an in-office operation that lasts about 15 minutes and we could have peace of mind. He may need a few weeks to heal but that is nothing compared to taking hormones for the rest of your life or inserting objects in yourself that are often painful as well. (The IUD killed me.)

He doesn't want to do it because he feels it takes away his "manhood." All of my friend's SOs have either done it or is open, so I'm hoping he will come around. I guess this is part venting, and part wanting to hear successful vasectomy stories that I can use to persuade him.
