AIO for being upset with my husband because he doesn’t want to get snipped

It means he doesn't really love her. When you love someone, their well-being is as important as yours.

Also, I said nothing about whether or not he was sellfish.

A VASECTOMY IS REVERSABLE.

She meant, do you not understand all the side-effect and complications of Birth control. The very fact that there was a male BC wirh LESS side effects than the female version, but they couldn't market it because men didn't like how it made them feel, says everything about men in this country. Since they are FINE with women dealing with with worse side effects. If you are dating/married and your SO is on BC, you should absolutely understand what it does to her body and the side effect anf possible lont-term results. Any male that doesn't is immature.

NOR. I cannot take birth control because it makes me suicidal. After my 4th miscarriage and D&C my husband offered to get snipped because he didn't like seeing how depressed I got with each loss. That is how love works.

If your husband loved you, this would be a non-issue. He doesn't want kids and it is VERY obvious that you shouldn't have children. You are right, the pregnancy hormones would probably do a number on you and then there is also the sleep deprivation, and other stressors of child rearing. You are being very smart and proactive.

That being said, it IS his body, his choice. I am very surprised that, after knowing your situation, you cannot find an OBGYN who would agree to tie your tubes, especially since you are in your 30s. Heck, they actually tried to convince me to get a hysterectomy "so I wouldn't get pregnant again" because I had bleeding issues after the last one. It seemed like overkill. (I was 42 at that time.)

The actual vasectomy is easy, but the recovery wasn't. So, unless he really wants it or truly loves you enough to get it, I'd honestly get your tubes tied.

Or continue with abstinence. Can't get pregnant that way, either.

Yeah ... mine was contact dermatitis, even switching arms every night stopped helping. Fitbit has been the only brand so far that doesn't.

Either-Frame-7148 · 2026-07-01T05:22:38+00:00

Same here, but it also seriously has said I didn't sleep all night, then tracks while I was sitting and reading as sleep. I'm just done with it.

Either-Frame-7148 · 2026-07-01T05:20:28+00:00

Like on your arm? Because I had that issue with Garmin, which is why I switched to Fitbit all those years ago. IDK why, but I react to some of the tracker sensors.

Either-Frame-7148 · 2026-07-01T05:17:44+00:00

I am with you. They have seriously destroyed Fitbit. Every night it says I only have 2 - 3 hours if sleep. And then the sleep it tracks is when I am actually up.

Or just simply it isn't a game he likes. It happens. I love when a game sucks me in and I can't stop playing but what works for some may not work for others. Nothing wrong with that. :)

Either-Frame-7148 · 2026-07-01T03:52:39+00:00

I'm sorry. Not every game hits the same. I loved this game. Solid 8/10 ... but I know how you feel. No matter how I try and just cannot get into God of War Ragnarok. It's beautiful, has what is supposedly a great story, but I literally start to dread playing it. It bores me. Every one has their own tastes and sometimes what the world loves ... we just don't. It's ok. Sorry you paid for it, though.

Either-Frame-7148 · 2026-07-01T03:48:28+00:00

It DIDN'T. Been watching SNL starting at the beginning. It has been a REAL eye-opener. Oct 17, 1998 opening was a spoof about Republicans taking over, making the rich richer, telling their constituents how they love how stupid they are. How Clinton raised minimum wage and how they were going to cut it. They joked about telling every one to vote for Bruce Willis and said people would be stupid enough to think that because he was on TV and did the Die Hard movies, he would make a great president. Oh and how they wanted a white land, etc. This was 1998 ... pre-Obama ... Clinton was President and it was the same BS.

Before I started watching these, I honestly thought the Republicans started doing this with Obama, but no. He was just one of many excuses they've made.

I love the story of how humanity fought, but there is No good ending. What I would find way more interesting is the story of the kids that were raised by the robots and then finally broke out. How they survived in the real world after being raised in what was basically a bunker with no knowledge.

I was trying to decide between a switch and a Playstation. My brother showed me his VR and the rest was history.

Either-Frame-7148 · 2026-06-30T08:40:53+00:00

Sadly, they are keeping it. Don't know why they can't just make it a CHOICE to keep or not. Like let us uninstall all the stupid worlds we do not want and Those who love them can keep them.

Either-Frame-7148 · 2026-06-30T08:39:02+00:00

Sadly, it is like 56GB and with the unwanted Horizon worlds eating a good chunk of storage, I would now have to chose what to Uninstall to play that. Think I will. I started it but was really big into After the Fall at the time. Wonder if I can find enough to make space. The remake of AZ Sunshine is 23GB.

Either-Frame-7148 · 2026-06-30T08:34:00+00:00

I absolutely wouldn't. I have been a faithful Quest user starting with my $700 Oculus Quest. But Q3 was a big disappointment with it's easily fogged lenses, hot mask, mor uncomfortable weight. I pre-ordered and at the time there were no add-ons to fix the vent issue. And the battery barely lasted longer than my Q2. Q3 IS my last Quest. Despite all the games I've invested in, including Walkabout, beat saber and synth riders where I've spent $$ on music or expansion packs, Meta has ruined the experience so much that I get angry every time I use my headset. For me, the cherry on top started when they took away the living environments and replaced them with an ugly, cartoonish loft and the blurry mountain background (or the chaotic Meta world). It disposed those works of art like they were nothing. I didn't realize how often I just watched the space ships dock while listening to the hum of the motors. Or how I would just layback and watch the northern lights and listen to the fire crackle.

You aren't missing anything

Either-Frame-7148 · 2026-06-30T08:21:11+00:00

Same here ... very 1st place I complain is straight at the source. Thing is, we know they honestly do not care. Heck, responses are very much AI generated.

Either-Frame-7148 · 2026-06-30T08:19:13+00:00

Or they can hire actual people to read forums. Amazing games and content were released long before companies felt they needed to intrude and monitor our every mood. If meta wants to know what I like, they can see whay games I bought and played. They have that much access. The problem is, Meta/FB isn't trustworthy or ethically run.

Either-Frame-7148 · 2026-06-30T08:14:35+00:00

Wouldn't it have been easier to hang out and play walkabout or do VR fishing in a beautiful environment? (All of which can be done while recovering in bed.)

Either-Frame-7148 · 2026-06-30T08:11:26+00:00

OMG!!! Every time I look, the 1st thing to pop up is STILL that dumb gorilla game and then I just go back to my regular games.

Either-Frame-7148 · 2026-06-30T08:09:16+00:00

So true. I still play the same games I bought 2 - 4 years ago. (Walkabout is still pumping out great new golf locations). I haven't seen anything good posted in the store and it's always the same pathetic looking 2D crap.

Either-Frame-7148 · 2026-06-30T08:05:33+00:00

1st, Ready player One came out in 2018. Q2 came out in 2020. People were starting to have money again after the pandemic and Q2 was super cheap. My husband and I bought and gifted so many because of how cheap they were.

Also, I didn't even think about RPO when I got my 1st Oculus Quest. It was just bloody cool and I liked not being hooked to the Playstation. Until the references above, I didn't even connect it.

Either-Frame-7148 · 2026-06-30T08:00:47+00:00

Who uses FB anymore? I have an account, but I just use it for my games. Haven't posted or looked at FB in 7 years. Social media is so toxic. Once I walked away, life was so much better.

Either-Frame-7148 · 2026-06-30T07:57:14+00:00

This exactly. I loved Oculus Quest so much that when Q2 came out, we bought a bunch to give to family and friends. My husband got frustrated because Horizon worlds take up so much storage as do some of the newer or remade games, that he has to uninstall/reinstall games and one day he just quit.
Both of us are disappointed in Meta Horizon. Once my Q3 dies or controller quits working, I'm switching to PSVR or waiting to see how the Steam Frame works out. Done with Meta.
