Today, I explained to my boyfriend that I want to get my tubes tied, because I don’t want kids and can’t stand the fear of getting pregnant by accident, despite contraception, which has happened before. He summarized: “So, the main point is to preserve your fertility, right?” Wrong. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I asked my boyfriend if he might want kids one day, and he most definitely does not. In fact, he even thanked me for reminding him we need to stock up on condoms when we go shopping, plus he’s even considering a vasectomy just to make sure. I’m already pregnant. FML
Today, my boyfriend thinks it’s going so well, we have marriage potential, so before we get any more serious he wanted a promise that I will never want children, and if I think there’s ever a chance I might, tell him soon because we’ll have to split up before we waste each other’s time. FML
Today, my wife decided she wants to disregard our five-year plan to have kids, and is experimenting with the idea of having her tubes tied. FML
Today, I told a guy that I was on birth control. He decided that it would be best for us not to continue speaking with each other. I never would've thought taking care of myself would be a deal breaker. FML
Today, I once again had to explain that my husband's vasectomy was because we really don't want children, and that, "but you can always adopt or try to undo the vasectomy" isn't an appropriate answer. FML
Today, I asked my boyfriend what he thought about having kids and, without a pause, he went, “Ew, no thanks.” I’m pretty sure I’m six weeks pregnant so, yeah… FML
Today, I found out that the reason I hadn't gotten pregnant yet was because my husband had a vasectomy after the birth of his son. He even had the nerve to continously tell me, "it'll happen soon, baby" and let me believe we were trying. FML

Today, I finally had my doctor's appointment to get my tubes tied. I've been waiting for 2 years. Instead, I found out that my birth control failed and I'm pregnant. FML
Today, I asked my husband if it was a good time to think about having kids. His response was, "ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NEVER." I’ve always wanted to be a mom and he knows that. I feel like I’ve wasted my life. FML

And your fear of having stupid offspring further justified your decision.

Is your boyfriend mentally challenged? Probably a good idea you don't procreate with him.

Is it possible he was joking? This sounds like it could have been a sarcastic comment made in jest.

It’s your body, you should make the decision you want. Seeing that he is just a boyfriend there’s probably a good chance there will be more so don’t let the man you’re with at a point in time decide such a huge important decision.

Unfortunately you're going to have a hard time finding a doctor who will do it for you unless you're over 35, and your "husband" signs off on it because "what if he wants kids?" and "what if you change your mind?". Because apparently women aren't allowed to have a say about their own body and future.

As a man in the US, I agree whole heartedly that it is 100% your decision to make. If the boyfriend is adamant about having kids, he can either knock-off or go find someone else willing to sow his offspring. As long as this is what you want, he should have no say.

Whatever you do, don’t have his kids.

Question for OP: Does your partner want kids? Because that sort of selective hearing/interpretation seems to indicate that he is rationalizing things pretty hard to make it so that you two are (to him) on the same page. Hearing what he wants to hear sort of thing.
