If it were me, id tell her she needs to move out and be a **** in her own home, also pay her own bills
then I would lawyer up and file for D...there ya go schnookums, PLENTY of sexual freedom headed your way
she is not looking to explore...she is looking for something better and wants her cuckold waiting for her in case it falls through...just by ASKING for this, she started down a path she cant return from and the marriage is over...at least for me
What you said would make sense if the husband wasn't "crying himself to sleep at night" as was mentioned in the article.
Granted he could have left, but all that liberal BS goes to wayside when people start trouncing on other people's feelings. I can be as liberal as the next, but sometimes good liberalism gets taken over by just plain crappy and selfish behavior, cleverly masked with other labels.
He wasn't crying himself to sleep - unless they were tears of joy. He was fvcking a much younger woman for 6 months and not using protection, both of which were contrary to what they'd agreed.
The whole scenario was and is stupid, IMO, but they both AGREED to it.
You are very judgmental, OP, and make a lot of (unjustified) assumptions. Perhaps your user name should be Dr. Dirty Mind instead! As for marriage vows, people often do agree to change them or put them aside. It's their marriage, so they can make of it what they will, and that's fine as long as they both agree. That's the case here. You are engaging in **** shaming of this woman because she's an easy target - she's open about what she did. Many men do or try to do similar things but without even bothering to make an agreement with their wives - they cheat. This couple did not.
i have no idea what you are even saying, but no doubt i have an opinion about the subject, and about the relationship dynamics. judgmental???? dunno, but certainly more of a realist, and a better man for it too. yet i am well aware that i have different perspective than most of my brethren. like, this article is not that shocking to me really, the fact that such feminine conduct is more transparent and socially acceptable just confirms you can't believe the dogma you hear, actions speak louder than words.
I would say this woman is a complete *****, that's my opinion...
Why would someone who WANTS kids marry someone KNOWING they don't want to have kids?
And ladies, the whole "needs permission to have a vasectomy" thing? Please... this reeks of hypocrisy, our bodies are ours, just like yours are yours... we don't need your permission to have a vasectomy

I haven't read the book(?), just the scathing review linked in the OP. Maybe that is a reference to doctors' requirement that the spouse be notified. I don't know that we have to give our approval (I remember I had to sign some acknowledgment), but a doctor may hesitate to proceed without it.
He got a vasectomy without her agreement, and she wanted kids. Now, no kids, and not much else to fill the marriage. She wanted sexual variety as compensation, and he agreed to it and played around himself, breaking the rules they'd established. So, it eventually led to the end of the marriage, but that was very likely going to be the result anyway. No loss - it just would have been cleaner if she'd left him first, or he'd let her go once he decided he wouldn't have kids.
He apparently made it clear that he never wanted children. Her changing the rules is unfair.

Which effectively means that a man doesn't have autonomy over his body. That kinda sucks.

I would think in a normal relationship both parties would discuss such a major life issue together. I know I wouldn't just go out and get a vasectomy without let her know and the same would go for her.
This stuff doesn't seem complicated to me.
