Today I’m signing divorce papers because my wife got sterilized behind my back.

Thank you. This is what I keep telling myself. Hell, even my lawyer gave me an over the phone pep talk this morning. I’m still pretty young, so I know I’ll have plenty of time but this is just so hard. I love her, and I imagined my entire life with her. We used to stay up dreaming about our lives together, she used to tap me every time she saw a woman with a baby bump and would give me this giddy little look. I never expected that this would happen. I don’t think I put too much pressure on her, I never had any expectations for her as far as motherhood outside of just..having the kids. I always told her that if she chose to stay home and didn’t want to, I’d be more than willing to stay with them until VPK. I really never expected her to be barefoot and pregnant like another comment insinuated. I love kids and I have always been used to lots of siblings and cousins and it’s just the life I always imagined for myself. I feel like I’ve been robbed. I don’t hate her for not wanting children, but I feel so betrayed and manipulated. Sorry for the rambling, and thank you for your encouragement!
