[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only reason I can think of the wife being the one to do it is that, with more advanced age, a man can have more kids and a woman can't. So, if there's any chance of a second family (and not just because of divorce; people can die early, too) the man could marry a much younger woman and still get her pregnant whereas a woman wouldn't be as likely to do this...

“Hey honey, can you get your tubes tied in case I want to leave you for another woman or you die, leaving less time, attention, and financial support for your children? Thanks”

I don’t see that going over well. [/quote]

Plus vasectomies are reversible[/quote]

This. They are less invasive and the only one that is reversible. It is a no-brainer.[/quote]

+100 for all the reasons previously mentioned plus I'd taken BC for ~10 years.

DH volunteered and we had talked about it after our 3rd baby anyway. DH's doc said men still wimp out and don't show up for their surgery appt.

On the flip side, I'd also make clear that abortion is NOT an option. I may be pro-choice for other people, but I would not want one for myself (if resulting from any oops with DH) unless I got raped by someone else. So, think of the consequences for yourself too.
