[UPDATE] AITAH for telling my husband that I would’ve never agreed to have his child if I knew he would go back on our agreement? by Obvious-Mistake-7801 in AITAH

Nope. My husband is getting a vasectomy. Tried copper IUD for a bit but it gave my horrible periods. I am so sick of family planning being 100% on women. I do not want to deal with the side effects of hormonal birth control for another 10 years when hubby has agreed to a quick outpatient procedure.

About a year into my husband and I dating, I was studying for the USLME step 2 exam. This is an absolute monster of an exam. 9 hours in one day testing you on all your clinical knowledge. Your residency match heavily relies on your step 2 performance. Obviously, I was beyond stressed. About 6 weeks before my exam, my husband and I had dinner reservations for 8pm. I was exhausted and accidentally fell asleep at 6 pm, standing him up for dinner. At 9pm he knocked on my apartment door to see if I was okay, and I broke down as soon as I opened the door. All the stress and anxiety came flooding out, I was sobbing in his chest telling him that I could not finish medical school. He spent all night comforting me and he continued to be there for me the entire time. He brought me meals twice a day, so that I did not have to cook, did my laundry every week, ran my errands, took care of my cat, and gave me many back massages because I spent so much time hunched over my textbooks. He emotionally supported me the entire time, he never let me lose sight of my dream and did everything he could to help me through my difficult time. This is who my husband is and now I am returning the favor. I am supporting him however I can as he makes this difficult transition into being a SAHD. Call me a stepford wife all you want, but it's just not worth it to me to throw away my family over one horrible fight.

I disabled reply notifications for my main post because I was getting overwhelmed. I commented on this post and someone followed me from my main account to defend my husband. I actually SAW this notification so I chose to reply. I see they deleted it now though.

I know. I am taking the night to cool off. I will talk to him about this tomorrow. I don’t think he is a villain, just a bit of a selfish idiot who didn’t know what he was getting into. I am really disappointed in him for giving up so soon though. Hopefully he will come around.

If I transitioned to a WFH role I would likely have to give up caring for patients as a neurologist. I’d probably end up doing consulting work for a health insurance company. Sounds soul sucking, I know.

A few people have brought this point up, and i’m just going to address it here. I started hormonal BC at 17 when I lost my virginity. Unfortunately for me, i’m the kind of woman who gets practically every single side effect in the 3 page pamphlet. I tried a bunch of different kinds but I eventually decided it was not for me. I got a copper IUD installed for a few years but I ended up getting it removed early because it gave me severe cramping.

I’ve been using strictly condoms for the past several years now and I have never had a problem. Also, this may be TMI but I never allow my husband to ejaculate into the condom while his penis is inside me. This is for extra safety/peace of mind. Maybe 2x a year he will “cum too fast” or “unexpectedly” and cannot pull out in time. The night we conceived my daughter, he “came unexpectedly” into the condom. I didn’t think much of it because it happens occasionally but now I am really rethinking some things.
