Am I the only one who thinks the woman is in the right for not wanting children who would have incest in the family???

Woman, being logical : get the genetic test and we'll go from there

Man, being hysterical : sHe wAnTs mE to get immediately sterilized so I retaliated, gotcha hurrdurr

Me, with popcorn : this relationship is over already.

I kinda thought the same thing. And clearly he’s not a rational person to discuss this with. People are rushing to assume she was going to hide getting a sperm bank donation. As if she isn’t allowed to exercise birth control while figuring out how to bring it up to him.

Idk people are tricky but they both seem a bit wrong here.

She's being completely reasonable. He should ALSO want to get genetic testing done to ensure his kids aren't born with flippers. I've read accounts of people who were products of incest and the issues can be tremendous. It's in both of their best interest to get the testing done.

He's marinating in shame because of his past (which is not his fault) and projecting it onto her while calling it equality. Just seeing the way he's handled this should be reason enough why she should run for the hills.

So for him it's "my body my rules" but she can't choose?

i didn’t know what flair.. but i wouldn’t want kids that had incest dna. everyone in the comments is calling her abusive but i completely understand her reaction?

Nope! I agree with you, it’s perfectly logical to want genetic testing given the circumstances.

If she wasn’t telling him about the birth control, and his reaction to her finally coming clean about her feelings is to flip the fuck out, I wonder if he’s also abusive. Something about this post screams ignoring reasonable boundaries and being a shitty partner by using spite instead of teamwork.

He needs therapy, not Reddit. And the wife is well within her rights to refuse to get pregnant without knowing the full extent of what may happen.
