I'm in the middle of a divorce after 4 years of gradually discovering that the woman I married was a complete psychopath. She lied from the beginning and stole a lot of money from me over the years while promising me she'd pay me back. Bullshit.

My 1st move? Got a vasectomy today. The only reason I am able to get away from her crazy ass for good is that we never had kids. We had 2 abortions over medical concerns (fetus viability, health concerns, etc). The abortions were the best money I ever spent. Used to be pro life. Not anymore. I swore I'd never give a woman that kind of power in my life again. Fuck that.

Vasectomy was free through the military. Zero pushback from the docs. Procedure was quick with almost no pain. 2 months to clear out the tubes and then a major liability in my life will be no more. My friend made the comment "ballsy move, man" as he drove me home from hospital.

Permanent birth control! Can't beat it with a stick. The rest of my life is going to be for me, on my terms alone!
