Today, a judge ruled against me. I filed for divorce because my wife got pregnant even though I had a vasectomy. Apparently, not informing your spouse of a vasectomy is worse than cheating in the eyes of the court. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out my wife is pregnant. The problem is she convinced me to get a vasectomy two years ago. FML
Today, my wife somehow convinced a judge to force me to pay child support for a child that isn’t mine. I recently discovered our son was the result of an affair and not biologically mine, so I divorced her, but the judge is forcing me to keep supporting them financially. FML
Today, I found out I'm pregnant. My husband had a vasectomy this past summer after our son was born and only took one of the two tests. I haven't cheated. He refuses to believe me or get his spunk checked again. FML
Today, I found out I'm pregnant. My husband had a vasectomy several years ago. I've been faithful the whole time, but he wouldn't believe me, even after I showed him that vasectomies can reverse themselves. FML
Today, I found out I'm pregnant. My husband and I are divorcing because HE had an affair. He now wants a paternity test. FML
Today, the judge sided with my ex-wife in our divorce, even though the stupid bitch fell for some crypto scam and lost all our money and left us destitute. Apparently, she's an "innocent victim" and I'm a bad person for not standing by her. FML
Today, my my soon to be ex-wife found out I was telling the truth and never cheated. She wanted to get back together but I told her that we're too far into the divorce proceedings to turn back, and there's just no fixing our marriage. She then told me she's filing for full custody with no visitation rights. FML
Today, a child that was born due to my donation to a sperm bank in 1995 contacted me. My current wife, who I met in 2003, is convinced I cheated on her and is filing for a divorce. FML
Today, my wife told me she wanted a divorce and walked out. This is two days after she informed me that she is unexpectedly pregnant. FML
Today, the court is unable to allow me to divorce my wife because she is pregnant with our child. I have to wait until AFTER the baby is born, so that she is born inside of a marriage and not be an "illegitimate child." I was planning to move out of our house to go live with my high school sweetheart this weekend. FML

I'm assuming she admitted to cheating or you took a paternity test because vasectomies are not always 100%.

I think there's an exact name for failure to inform about infertility due to surgical procedure, but I don't know for certain. It doesn't make her cheating on you okay, but never telling her you had a vasectomy does make you a huge jackass. Women have been sued for not disclosing infertility even when they found out through the marriage, so having a dick doesn't just give you a free pass to get away with the same thing, except willingly. You not only apparently took advantage of her thinking you were able to impregnate her, but you knowingly withheld the information that you couldn't from her- and it would be impossible for you to not know doing so was wrong. You took away her ability to decide that she would leave you to have a child, or to decide that she chose you over a child. Not to mention, if you were willing to lie about that, the judge has to assume that you are willing to lie about other matters. Get your head out of your ass- relationships are built on trust and you took a ******* sledgehammer to it when you had a vasectomy and never told her about it. If you had it before you started dating her, that entire relationship was a lie on your end. You both suck as human beings, but particularly at being good romantic partners.

Well everybody's going on and on about how marriage is about producing kids, so... yeah well, not being able to have any should be something you disclose to your partner in marriage. They're planning to spend their life with you, you'd think they should be informed of whether kids are in that picture or not. Basically, you both betrayed one another. Also, as someone mentioned before, vasectomies don't have 100% fool proof success rate. Could very well still be yours, and wouldn't that be a plot twist?

I don't get why is everyone assuming they have no kids already? I find it much more likely that they already have 2/3/5 idk how many kids and he had a vasectomy 'cause he thought that's enough. Not that it excuses him for not telling his wife, but still, I think they're both assholes personally so it should be 50/50 if someone is to blame.

If she cheated than they are both assholes. The problem is that there is no actual proof of that. A pregnant wife after a vasectomy does not necessarily prove cheating. Vasectomy's can and have reversed themselves resulting in pregnant partners. Plus you are advised to wait 8-16 weeks before screwing without a condom or other birth control because there may still be sperm in the first few ejaculations. A person who doesn't tell their wife they have had a vasectomy is unlikely to have followed proper procedure in other ways. So without the OP having taken a paternity test, his wife admitting to cheating, or him getting a check up to make sure the procedure took, we can't definitely condemn the wife as a cheater. That's purely assumption. The fact that they OP didn't disclose the vasectomy though is there in the FML and is bad behavior that can be condemned.

You are the man ! Unfortunalty, in divorce court, being "the man" means you lose.

Coming from my experience with a vasectomy, I have absolutely no idea how the person posting this was able to hide from his wife that he got a vasectomy. The recovery should’ve given him away in a heartbeat.

I'm wondering if he got the vasectomy before they married. If he did that would make the ruling make more sense because infertility is a valid grounds for divorce. There are women that have been sued by their spouses for not disclosing an inability to have children before marriage and have lost. It makes sense that it would work the other way as well. It seems bad but by not informing someone that you have had a vasectomy, or that you are aware you will never have children, you are selfishly taking the choice of having children out their hands. If they want kids, and you don't, that's fine but you should allow them to make the informed decision of whether or not having kids is a deal breaker for the relationship and allow them to do what they feel is best for them, which may mean finding a partner who will want children.

Wow, that is extremely messed up. Unfortunately, courts have always leaned more toward the woman's side. So sorry, OP. Although I didn't think you could just be denied a divorce these days, especially if cheating is involved.

How about you talk about birth control and having children or not in your marriage (and even quickly in any other sexual encounter)? Keeping a vasectomy a secret is not only bad if your spouse wants children, but also if they don't. Especially since your wife had to be on birth control, too. If she wasn't and you knew, you are shitty because you obviously agreed to have children. If you suspected that she was lying to you about it, doing the same isn't the right answer and your marriage was doomed anyways.
