My middle son has been dating the same woman for the last 3 years. To me they seem to be getting along very nicely and she has been semi-living with him for about 6 months (his mother and I are not supportive of this arrangement and neither are her parents.) As long as we've known her she has said lots of strange things and according to others that have known her longer she has done lots of strange things.
Today my wife received a call from the woman's mother who told her that her daughter has been telling out son that she in on birth control but really isn't. She asked for my wife to tell our son for JIC and he can protect himself. Our youngest daughter overheard the conversation and told us the GF's younger sister has told her the same thing but the GF is trying to get pregnant and she passed on the info her brother. The wife immediately call our son and asked him to come over immediately and alone.
He was not happy and said he was going to break up with her. He has told us several times that he doesn't want kids had has tried to get a vasectomy but can't find a doctor that will do it for someone his age (24).
So IMO the GF is trying to play him and he should break-up with her.
What my question is should a man that doesn't want kids be able to get a vasectomy at any age? I ask this because about 10 years ago a friend told me his wife trapped him into being a parent and marriage by purposely getting pregnant when she knew he didn't want children. (I've heard his wife say that he is a great husband and father.) Before his daughter was born he went to get a vasectomy and there wasn't a doctor in town that preform the procedure without his wife giving permission. How is this remotely fair to the man?
I'm not trying to stir anything up. I believe that birth control is the responsibility of all involved and I've told all of kids this. So thoughts?
