To feel b***** annoyed that my husband won't get the snip

I am in my mid-forties, we have 2 (mostly!) lovely Children and DH, in particular, does NOT want any more children. As my periods are becoming a bit irregular, I would like a foolproof method of contraception to avoid any future stress (late periods...)
His reason for not wanting to get the snip is that he couldn't face the whole hospital/operation experience. But I feel that I have been through quite a lot of hospital stuff having had 2 children, miscarriage, etc, and that it's his turn.

Any opinions / advice to persuade him?!

I think YABU, it's his body and it's his choice. You can't force him to do something he doesn't want to do.

I'm 53 and had the snip when I was 25, six weeks after my daughter was born. My decision but fully supported by my then wife. Blokes can be funny about their perceptions of manhood. A mate of mine cringes at the thought of getting the snip and won't even have his dog done! I always say that just because the fuses have been pulled it doesn't mean the power's been cut off! Wink
