I get that. Its understandable. But she worked out a lot and she also had surgery on her abdomen and was on drugs for that. I highly doubt she was very regular.

She would call me two of so days after it was late and basically yell at me saying that I need to be more careful and I am now stuck with a kid. She was sort of crazy. I usually just laughed at her and rolled my eyes. It takes a very understanding person to deal with her.

I could never get that. Nobody is snipping anything of mine. She can get tied or we can use BC the rest of our lives but I am not letting anyone near me with scissors. lol. I mentally can't get over it... Kind of like Lasik... yikes

So you're happy to tell her to take birth control (which has side effects) or get her tubes tied? While you lay back in a lounge chair and sip a cold one? That's a typical male response....

Seriously. It's okay for her to have to deal with a more invasive surgery or a lifetime of side effects from messing with her hormones because he's afraid of a simple outpatient procedure. That's a dealbreaker right there.

Lol, don't get my wrong. My motivations are selfish behind it (and I don't think I can keep them PG13). Let's put it this way: I'm a fan of nothing coming between us (as long as there is no risk of STD's/committed relationship). There is something very primal about being able to _____ inside of a woman

Its a mental thing for me. Its not because I am too lazy or too selfish. I said we would continue to use Birth Control, WHATEVER THAT MAY BE! Why am I now on the chop and block because I don't want to go through with a procedure that is irreversible? Its my body and I can do whatever the hell I want. If any woman ever gave me that ultimatum then she is free to walk.

I can get that a man wouldn't want to have that surgery. I think if you have that attitude though, you leave yourself open for the possibility of accidental pregnancy....only you can decide how you'd handle that.

Using hormonal BC is a less than desirable option, imo, for years on end.

And what if your SO did not want to be on birth control because of side effects or do surgery to her body? Aren't you giving her an ultimatum?

I wouldn't say it's typical, but it would be a dealbreaker. I don't like men who not only refuse to look after their own reproductive health, but are cavalier with women's in the process. That's just wrong. If you don't want kids, and you know you don't want kids, get snipped. A woman shouldn't have to alter her body because you made a choice about yourself.

Men dont realize the serious side effects/health concern of using birth control to a women's body if taken for an extended period of time. It can cause irreversible damage and changes to their hormone levels.
