DH and I had a pregnancy scare going on 6 months ago which made it crystal clear to both of us that we didn't want a third DC. We discussed the idea of vasectomy at the time, and he wasn't keen. He's been mulling it over, however, and finally decided to go ahead with it. Last week he got a referral from our GP to a urologist and everything.
This morning he was chatting with DMil and he told her about the vasectomy. She was very upset, told DFil who was also fairly upset, rang me up later to interrogate me about it (just the conversation I wanted to have with her), etc. As it turns out, DPil hadn't completely given up hope of us having more DC, and they don't like the idea of us taking permanent measures.
DPil are genuinely nice people, and I like them just fine, but I'm having a strong reaction of, "Stay OUT of it!" Am also a bit hacked off that DH talked about it to them without saying anything to me first, although I realise that may be a bit unreasonable. If I were having even minor surgery, I'd mention it to my DM. Of course, my DM probably wouldn't tell our entire extended family about without permission.
DH has already had a supportive text from DSil, saying not to pay any attention to their parents and to do what he likes. Which is nice of her, but the text came as a bit of a surprise because we didn't know she knew about the vasectomy. Turns out DMil rang her up almost as soon as she got off the phone. As I said, I like DMil very much, and I don't want to argue with her, but I really need her to back off here. It's DH's reproductive system, not hers. I'm also a little embarrassed, because we really don't discuss our sex life with either side of the family, and suddenly it's out there. Really not sure how to handle it.
On a related note, oddly enough, I am suddenly insanely attracted to him. We've had more sex in the past 4 days than we have in the past month. I hadn't even realised we were in a bit of a rut sexually until he told me he wanted the vasectomy. I just thought we had a lot of stressful things going on in our lives and sex wasn't our highest priority. Apparently I was wrong, and the stressful things are quite irrelevant. Even though I'm annoyed he told DMil, I still fancy the pants off him. Is this a normal reaction, or am I being weird?
