I'm looking for an honest answer, not sympathy or attention. I just seem to have lost any perspective or ability to judge.
i had implanon (contraceptive implant) fitted 7 months ago and have had almost constant bleeding since having it was fitted, sometimes very light then very heavy. i'm persevering with it for now to give my body a chance to settle in with it. Obviously the bleeding hasn't made me feel particularly good and coupled with the fact that dd is a terrible sleeper and i work full time, i'v not been that up for sex. My DH knows about the bleeding and i mentioned to him that if it keeps going on, we should look for an alternative method of contraception.
I'm not keen on the pill as my life is so hectic that i'm not sure i'd remember to take it. Since we're sure we don't want more kids, i suggested the possibility of Dh having a vasectomy. I could kind of understand his reaction that he was hesitant to do this because he felt it would de-masculate him (men and their manhood - don't really understand it but i accept it), but his 2nd reason shocked me and i was quite offended. He said, if i'm only going to get sex once every month until you hit the menopause, is going through a vasectomy for 60 shags worth it? He couldnn't understand why i was shocked by this. I feel angry with him that he thinks of our sex life like this and it's made me not really like him, even though i love him.
Writing it down makes me sound childish, although i haven't bored you with the rest of the details in our relationship that have resulted in this attitude towards him.
Do you think he was being unreasonable or am i being oversensitive?
