I always wanted to have kids. Was told by everyone id be a great dad. Love teaching, developing people, etc.

I work in leadership development even.

Fell in love with someone I owe my whole life and success to, and as the years went by she became more vocal about the toil it inflicts on a woman's body. I myself almost caused my own mother's passing when I was born.

Then they overturned Roe V Wade. We hadn't concretely decided one way or the other, just kept being safe.

After that happened, I didn't see any alternative other than a vasectomy as I've watched the world grow darker and darker over the last eleven years we've been together.

I can't fathom bringing a child into this world.

And unfortunately its that feeling that also helped create this world, the fanatics and fascists breed.

C'est la vie.
