Diply Social Team
Diply | Diply

When it comes to family planning, things can get complicated. A woman, let's call her 'Jane', and her husband, 'John', have one child. John has always been clear about not wanting more kids, a decision Jane has accepted. However, Jane's birth control pill has been affecting her mental health, and last year, she got pregnant while off it. The couple's decision to terminate the pregnancy was a tough one, especially for Jane, who felt unsupported by John. Now, she's back on the pill, but she's not happy about it. She's suggested that John get a vasectomy, but he's avoiding the topic. Is Jane wrong for asking this of John? 🤷‍♀️

A Tale of Pills, Pressure, and Potential Vasectomies

In the aftermath of a difficult abortion, Jane finds herself back on the birth control pill, a medication that negatively impacts her mental health. She suggests that John, who is terrified of having more kids, consider a vasectomy. But John, haunted by a friend's bad experience, keeps dodging the conversation. Jane feels she's being fair, asking him to at least research the procedure. But John feels pressured, even though he hasn't outright refused. Is Jane wrong for pushing the issue, or is John avoiding a necessary discussion? Let's see what the internet has to say about this emotionally charged situation...💔🗣️

"NTA. He wouldn't pressure you to take the pill, he'll just pressure you to get an abortion then abandon you when you do it! What a champ. Of course you can't force him to get a vasectomy. But you can tell him you aren't comfortable being in a sexual relationship where the full physical and mental burden of family planning falls to you. You will not continue to suffer side effects or have a surgery that is much more invasive than a vasectomy because he refuses to take any responsibility for himself. If that leads to no more sex and the likely end of your marriage, so be it." 😳
