Have taken the combined pill for over 6 years and recently changed to minipill as my blood pressure was up . Getting daily bleeding since I changed so will try a different brand of minipill
Brought up the topic of vasectomy but my partner is refusing to discuss this at the moment
He says that he had a testicular op as a child and that a vasectomy puts him at more risk of cancer
I have said that I don’t think this is the case , but he could ask this if we book a no obligation consultation Frustrated that he is just saying “ Don’t want to talk about it “ Aibu to think he should discuss and consider it ?

Those saying for the OP to get sterilized are just being ridiculous and should be disregarded. Tubes being tied is a much much much more invasive procedure with a much longer recovery time than a vasectomy. You can’t equate the two.

He doesn’t have to get a vasectomy and you don’t have to be on the pill. Just say it’s condoms from now on. They’re bound to be better for you than the stress of bleeding and blood pressure problems and if he doesn’t like them maybe he will start to at least investigate a vasectomy.

No snip = No shag. Problem solved, Op. He is also spouting bullshit.
