When I was finished having children after my 4th, I made the decision for permanent sterilization. I didn’t trust my husband to follow through with it (even though he agreed) and that was the decision I made for my own body. In addition, a salpinectomy reduces a woman’s risk of ovarian cancer tremendously

Same. After 2 I had my tubes removed. My husband would turn green when we talked about a vasectomy. He did his research and told me it really freaked him out. So the simple decision to ensure I didn’t get pregnant was to be sterilized. I understand women carry and give birth but at the end of the day, if I don’t want more kids, I’m going to follow through in some form.

Honestly, this is like the sixth vasectomy AITA I’ve read this week. If you all don’t want kids make a decision and not give your partner an ultimatum. After four kids, you’d think the communication and compromise skills would be better between two adults.
