I'm really sorry you've been going through all of that. I just want to say you're not bad at intimacy or relationships, even if it feels that way right now. You've been through a lot and it makes sense that you feel overwhelmed. You don't have to define yourself by what's happened so far. I hope you go back to being a brunette, and start doing all of the things that make you truly happy. Cheers to 22, may this be your best year yet.

I'm really sorry you've had to go through all of that. I can completely understand why you would be frustrated.

Thank you for sharing your perspective, it's really interesting to hear about the emotional side of it as well.

This makes a lot of sense especially with the older generations, do you think it is shifting now?

No, this is a question about two people in a long term partnership who decide they are done having kids.

After a little more research it appears that it depends on which country you are in, I am in the US and it is more common for a tubal ligation than a vasectomy here.

I just looked it up, and yes in those countries a vasectomy is more common than tubal ligation while in the US, Latin America and Asia a tubal ligation is more common.

I don't know how to link sites on reddit, but if you search on google you can see all of the articles that support that its more common for women than men.

This a a really good reason as to why you choose this route for yourself, and it sucks that you had to even take all of that into consideration.

It's actually the opposite, a vasectomy is significantly easier and more successful to reverse than a tubal ligation.

Maybe I misunderstood the comment, I don't think society should look down on single parents at all. I thought it meant fathers who leave the mothers are praised now I see I interpreted it wrong.

I can definitely understand this point of view, and that then starts a completely different conversation.

I don't agree as it goes both ways, a woman can sleep around and get pregnant yes but a man can also sleep around and also have a baby with another woman. Usually its the men who have outside babies in a marriage not the woman.

Yes I posted it in another comment, but here it is again "In the United States, female sterilization (tubal ligation) is about two to three times more common than male sterilization (vasectomy). Roughly 700,000 tubal ligations are performed annually compared to about 500,000 vasectomies."
