I never had this conversation with my husband, as I would never ask of him to do something that seems pretty unnecessary IMO. And at what age were you guys doing this? Late 30’s? 40’s? I started menopause when I was 48, so even if my husband got one done right after the birth of Puxlut Jr. it would have only protected against unwanted pregnancy for 12 years? Just seems odd to me?

Mine and WhiteTiger’s reasoning are essentially the same.
I don’t have kids, nor do I want any at the age of 37. For the longest time, all my partners have been on birth control so it was never really a concern. However, I recently split from my wife and I’m getting out there again, and in fact I’m seeing someone now. Neither of us want kids and we’re exclusive. Given that I don’t want kids of my own anyway, it just made sense to get it done. I would rather protect against any oopsies instead of banking on birth control and condoms.
The only thing that could have stopped me is if my partner had suggested she wasn’t as certain as she was about the kids thing. But there was no pressure from her on me to get it done; I wanted it.
