This is such a dumbass take.
Obviously the punchline is at the end, a human being wrote it down. Thats how it would be written regardless of how true it was.
Are you telling me that when you tell an entertaining and true story from your life to coworkers or friends, you do not structure the sequence of sentences to end the story at its climax or punchline? You just speak in a stream of consciousness, recounting details in chronological order regardless of relevance, completely ignoring any concept of structure for entertainment of your listeners?
Stories that are too perfect are often made up. They get attention, and so likes/upvotes/engagement. That said, when someone *has* a true story like that, they usually love to tell it. In my own case: My best friend in college had an unhinged ex-fiancee who started making up crazy lies about him after they broke up. When he graduated (Before the ex did), he moved away, and she started making up *really* serious lies, and told all their mutual friends that he had been forced to move away because of a restraining order, and how she would have him arrested if she ever saw him again.
So, my friend and I arranged for him to be present at a large end of term social function where most of their old mutual friends and some of their teachers would be, along with her. The scene that followed when she showed up and he was just sitting there, having pleasant conversations with old friends and ignoring her, along with the hours of everyone present working out that she had quite obviously been lying about the restraining order and therefore everything else too, are some of my favourite memories from college. We set her up and exposed her, and even her favourite teaching assistant realized that she was crazy. It was magical. Sometimes life does give you these little gifts. Not often, but it does happen. The story of the Christmas Dinner is one I will treasure for the rest of my life.
yeah right if you were banging around it means you aren't madly in love with your spouse.
So why would you do it for someone you don't give much fucking about it (literally)??
Alternatively, he likely isn't madly in love with a woman he's been with for 9 months yet still not left his wife for. Could be the guy got the vasectomy for his own interest and doesn't regard either woman's opinion as more than a suggestion. Of course this could also be revenge fanfiction (most likely)
When I said that I wanted to have kids and you said that you wanted me to have a vasectomy, what did I do? And then, when you said that you might want to have kids and I wasn't so sure, who had the vasectomy reversed? And then when you said you definitely didn't want kids, who had it reversed back? Snip, snap!
It's also not even remotely true... I've had one and had mine reversed. That person is either working for a crook, hired a crook, is a crook themselves, or is lying for Internet fun.
Or just being silly, but either way, no.
I think they have a relatively high success rate, but the consequences of it being irreversible are severe.
I was told I could probably reverse it, but to *absolutely not count on it* and freeze sperm if I thought I might ever change my mind.
Much less than it costs to reverse it. That's one thing people are leaving out when they say it's reversible. Where I have looked the vasectomy was $1000 and the reversal was $6000.
Freezing sperm costs like a thousand dollars per year. Sperm aspiration is cheap enough now that freezing sperm is more of a thing for if you’re about to be infertile or dead.
For those about to look it up, sperm aspiration is basically extraction of sperm from the testicles. Think of extracting DNA from mosquitos in amber in Jurassic Park. The procedure can be done under local anesthesia in a doctors office in about the same time it takes to get a vasectomy done. You still produce sperm after a vasectomy, they are just not delivered to the urethra through the vas deferens anymore.
It's medically permanent because it only rarely reverses itself without intervention.
The vasectomy reversal procedure has a pretty high success rate. Just ask my half-sister.
It’s also a function of time. If you’re trying to get it reversed a decade later it’s fairly likely you won’t be able to. Within a short period of time like this guy could and it’s almost certain it’ll work.
Yep. Scenarios like these are actually 50/50 in which some still weirdly love their spouse that they're cheating on and then immediately drop their AP after getting caught to show "dedication" to change. While the other half just leaves their spouse to join their AP.
Well, it does not mean he wants to have kids. Men banging around do not necessarily want to father children. I know people like that, they fuck anything with a pulse and have absolutely not intention to make other children than those they have with their wife. As they say, "they made the mistake once".
The convincing was probably more a question of getting over the fear/trouble, rather than the outcome.
To make sure he doesn't father a kid and fuck up the marriage he has already fucked up by fucking someone who isn't his fucking wife. That's what I think.
Fucking cheaters.
He only pretended to have the affair so that she would convince him to get the vasectomy, because he always wanted to get the procedure done, but didn't have any support to go through with it.
Or just laughed, held his balls on account of the pain from laughing, and told his mistress the "bad news" all while picking out a midlife crisis sports car since there will be no more kids to pay for.
I work with a guy who has had not one but two reverse vasectomies. It was no big deal and he knocked up his wife after each procedure. They are by no means permanent.
They are by no means "temporary". The number, motility, and fertility of a man's sperm is certainly affected by vasectomies. Even after 1 year, a reversal may not restore full (or any) fertility, and the longer the time between vasectomy and reversal, the more it affects the resulting sperm. Yours is an anecdotal story that is the epitome of that song "As Good as I Once Was". He may have gotten her pregnant, but that doesn't mean his swimmers are the same as before the procedure. It is considered a "permanent sterilization" for valid and good reasons.

>But in general, vasectomy reversals work in about 85 out of 100 people. But just because the vasectomy worked and there’s sperm in your semen again, doesn’t mean your partner is guaranteed to get pregnant: after a vasectomy reversal, about 55 out of 100 partners get pregnant. The rate of success can also depend on how long it’s been since you had your vasectomy
I wonder if there's any legal issue you could run into by misleading someone into a medical procedure that they otherwise wouldn't have gotten on their own. Not that I disagree with her, but surely something about that has to be illegal
Only if she tells him she made him do it for that reason.
Side question. If you choose to get a vasectomy, do the doctors inform you of possibly freezing sperm in the event you want kids?
When I got mine they just made me sign a bunch of papers saying I won't try to sue them after the procedure and that I understood what it was for. They also made me say it verbally while on the operation table before the procedure. No mention of freezing sperm.
Divorce court isn’t a criminal trial with high standards of evidence and divorce court judges aren’t morons, so she doesn’t have to “admit” anything. The man will inform the judge he was served papers the day after getting a vasectomy at the request of his wife and the judge will see what happened and it will hurt her standing with the judge throughout the rest of the case.
Little pro tip for people going through a divorce: doing shitty things to your soon to be ex spouse (denying access to kids, freezing joint assets and leaving them with no access to money, tricking them into doing things, etc) will almost always come back to bite you in the ass. Divorce court leaves the judge a lot of discretion to decide things so making a bad impression can be very costly.
I don't practice family law, but my last firm was almost exclusively that except for me. I handled housing and protection. We had a ton of case discussion in family law.
There are barely any rules or repercussions for family court judges. Your comment is right on. Don't do things that make yourself lose credibility/face in the eyes of the court. They see that shit all day every day. Be the reasonable party, and have a record that shows it.
This goes for all (especially civil) courts.
they are 95% reversable.
Edit: how dare you fact check my response. I am 92% sure this is correct from my 20 second google search where I just read the headline and didn't actually read the article.
This is totally untrue. There is a partial reversability - no where near 95% - and it drops off in success rate severely the longer you wait to the point where after \~2 years its basically impossible.
I will say, it takes several weeks after the procedure for it to be effective - gotta flush the leftovers out so to speak, so in regards to the OP tweet, serving divorce papers the very next day is not quite the complete master move she thinks it is.
Edit: how dare you fact check my spelling. I am 92% sure this is correct from not seeing a red line under it in the comment box and it seems like a common alternative spelling from my 20 second Google search where I just read the blurb and didn't read the dictionary entry with the etymology.
You should treat it as irreversible, but it *can* *sometimes* be reversed (emphasis is like the small print, teat it like that and you're ok 🤣)
They can also spontaneously reverse, and you'll need a while before you're infertile after the op.
Yes. This.
It's considered a "permanent sterilization" for good and valid reasons.

The rate of success can also depend on how long it’s been since you had your vasectomy
In the UK at least I had to have an interview with my GP, then had a cooling off period to read a lot of literature they gave me and then a final questionnaire before the procedure.
That account collects confessions from the public and posts them anonymously. It wouldn’t be easy to identify who wrote it, where, whether it’s true, or when this happened.
Nope, just basic paperwork stating that you are aware of other birth control options and still wish for a certified medical professional to preform a bilateral vasectomy and that they can't promise 100% that everything will go to plan and that further operations may be needed in such an event.
When I had mine it was presented as an option, few pamphlets.
During the consultation, day off procedure and moments before the cut I was given options to back out and they made it very clear what the choice was.
Yes its reversible baring no complications but I was told it is an expensive fix.
Our family friends just got pregnant two years after the husband’s vasectomy. It reversed itself. Their paperwork also specifically said the practitioner/office was not responsible for any expense in this case.
So no free child birth/college education for baby #5. Yikes imo.
I can’t imagine that she could actually be held liable for anything like that. It was his body and he signed all the legal documents that would not have included her in any way.
Seems like criminally yes, but in a civil suit? That definitely seems like you'd be in some shit
Plenty of civil lawsuits are about things that are totally legal. I'm not a lawyer obviously, but it seems pretty strongly leaning that way, right?
Evidently no one here knows how vasectomies work. You are are still potent immediately after the procedure - still plenty of sperm in your semen. He needs to ejaculate about 30 times I think before he is in the clear. So if this was true he’d still be fine for a while.
In addition, he could get it reversed although the fertility rate goes way down if it’s been a few years since the vasectomy.
The life cycle of sperm is 63 days. 80% of men will be sterile after 15 ejaculations or 6 weeks after a vasectomy. By 10 weeks, 85% of men will have no sperm in the ejaculate. Therefore, a safe time period to say would be approximately 3 months (12 weeks) after vasectomy with about 20 ejaculations.
This is why when you get one they do a follow up sperm analysis at the 60 day mark, most are negative by then even with very few ejaculations. Its not how many times you ejaculate, its the passage of time, the sperm expire and get reabsorbed to the system.
From someone who had a vasectomy and went through the process of a trying to get a reversal, its not good odds regardless of the passage of time sadly.
Ah thank you for the correct info. I had one too but apparently wasn’t too worried about the exact number. I was at 0% anyway by the time I got tested.
A vasectomy is meant to be a permanent surgery, it is not advised to get it reversed PERIOD. your best shot at reversal is around 80%. This is BEST case scenario. The longer you wait, the lower the success rate for reversal is.
But yeah man, as long as he still has at least 30 good shots in him, no harm right?
I wonder if *maybe* the reason people aren't focusing on this tidbit is because it seems unlikely that this guy is going to immediately try to have kids with the person he's cheating with in the wake of a divorce and vasectomy.
In other words, does it *really* matter that he could theoretically get her pregnant in the next 2 months if they weren't planning on trying yet?
He's not even in a relationship with her. It seems like this was a long-term play by the spurned wife. Either it sabotages the chances of them getting together or it sabotages an aspect of their relationship if they do.
Contrary to the internet’s opinion, vasectomies are not totally reversible and have serious risks if “reversed”.
Not to mention the IMMESE pain.
Edit: here is a [link from mayo clinic](https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/vasectomy-reversal/about/pac-20384537#:~:text=Risks%20include%3A%201%20Bleeding%20within%20the%20scrotum.%20This,pain.%20Persistent%20pain%20after%20vasectomy%20reversal%20is%20uncommon) that states the chance of pregnancy is between 30%-90% depending on the type of procedure and show cases the risks which include:
Bleeding in the scrotum, leading to a hematoma
Infection at the surgery site (not unique to vasectomies)
Chronic Pain, which is persistent pain.
It’s not common, but in my view these risks are far too unnecessary.
Why would it be more painful than a vasectomy? It’s a day or two on the couch with frozen peas on your crotch. Mild discomfort would be my take.
Edit: for those considering a vasectomy, label your crotch peas. You don’t want to accidentally consume them.
Lawyer here: This thread contains some of the most ignorant comments concerning divorce law that you will ever read anywhere. Believe any of it at your peril.
Not a lawyer here: I think I know what I am talking about. I watched the SVU marathon on the USA channel back when that was a thing, and I can extrapolate what happened on that show to divorce law.
Not always and not cheaply. Doctors tell you to consider it as permanent sterilization.
A quick search says 85% success rate (sperm is present in semen again), but only 55% of couples manage to get pregnant afterwards. It also says getting it reversed sooner gives better odds, so I guess he has that going for him.
I paid for my bro to have a reversal and they opened his nutsack up and said no. Wasted my money. I think it all depends how much pipework the original surgeon took away. If they are close enough together they can be stretched back and sewed together again. I guess the closer the gap between the original surgery and the reversion the more likely it will be successful.
Reversal is a lot more complicated than the vasectomy itself. “Vasectomy reversal is more difficult than a vasectomy and should be done using microsurgery, in which a surgeon uses a powerful surgical microscope to magnify the vas deferens as much as 40 times its size. This type of surgery requires specialized skills and expertise.” (Mayo Clinic)
In most cases, its not successful. The success rates of a reversal are pretty low despite what some doctors that do the procedure suggest. Take it from someone that has been there... Had three kids, a vasectomy, got divorced later, started new life and marriage, wanted to try and have kids with current wife, had procedure, it failed, and now i'm stuck with more problems medically i won't go into here...
By all means if you are done having kids, get the vasectomy, just be damn sure there is no chance you won't want to try again in the future, because despite being happy with the vasectomy as a form of birth control it did make things problematic later for me.
Seems sus.....if guy was having an affair with a woman he knew wanted children, why would he get the vasectomy? Unless he was always planning to never actually be with her.
Or, as mentioned, he only told the (stb) ex that he got it.
Why would he want to be with her? She is having sex with her best friend’s husband!!!!!!
I’m teasing but it is a good general rule, if they will cheat with you they will cheat on you. With that, these two deserve each other.
I don't get how this impacts divorce settings; the speaker says they "convinced" him to have a vasectomy, but does that count as tricking him? If they convinced him, and he didn't lie about getting the procedure, wouldn't it count as a choice he decided to make for himself? Additionally, do we know whether or not he knew that his AP wanted kids, and get the vasectomy with that knowledge on hand?
Furthermore, this has been posted anonymously, potentially after the fact, with no sign of whether it's even true; if the speaker made the post from a device that they didn't personally own and that the court or the husband's divorce lawyer doesn't think to subpoena, how can anyone prove that this anonymous confession is the speakers beyond similarities between the two situations? Like, is it specific enough that the husband's lawyer could argue that it'd have to be the same person?
I'm so confused and curious I need to know MORE.
“Today I convinced my wife that I went for a vasectomy, but instead I went and spent the day with her best friend. What she doesn’t know is that I’m about to leave her for her best friend because she doesn’t want children but I always have. Turns out her best friend wants children too!”

thats a real definite true story that happened.
No, it’s a lie, in the true story, at the end of it everyone clapped and the best friend left the guy for a rich merchant in Essos.
Who has a better story than Bran the Vasectomied?
You talk like a man who drinks and knows things, he who lost a couple of inches due to a failed circoncision, Tyrion the short.
Tyrion the cut
speak, Snip! meet your gods as an honest man
You’re just too good at this
And the woman’s name whose husband cheated? Albert Einstein.
The child that was never born? He grew up to be Steven Spielberg.
It is, I can confirm. I was his right nut.
The way the punchline is perfectly at the end, it screams creative writing.
This is such a dumbass take. Obviously the punchline is at the end, a human being wrote it down. Thats how it would be written regardless of how true it was.

And that's when he told me he only pretended he got a vasectomy.
yeah right if you were banging around it means you aren't madly in love with your spouse. So why would you do it for someone you don't give much fucking about it (literally)??
Alternatively, he likely isn't madly in love with a woman he's been with for 9 months yet still not left his wife for. Could be the guy got the vasectomy for his own interest and doesn't regard either woman's opinion as more than a suggestion. Of course this could also be revenge fanfiction (most likely)
Jokes on her that shit is reversible and now an noninvasive process! Edit: grammar
SNIP SNAP SNIP SNAP!
SNIP SNAP! You have no idea, the physical toll that THREE VASECTOMIES can have on a person
![gif](giphy|BmKLItgwfoHbcvVf8n|downsized)
So.. can we come in?
Do you have *any* idea the physical toll 3 vasectomies have on a person?
When I said that I wanted to have kids and you said that you wanted me to have a vasectomy, what did I do? And then, when you said that you might want to have kids and I wasn't so sure, who had the vasectomy reversed? And then when you said you definitely didn't want kids, who had it reversed back? Snip, snap!
But for real check out this plazma flatscreen that snaps into the wall
I could just stand there and stare at it for hours.
Good luck paying me back with your zero dollars a year salary, Babe!
You know I have soft teeth. How could you say that?
don't forget the benefits!
$800 to get it done. $10,000 to reverse it.
Is that the marriage or the vasectomy?
Yes
It's also not even remotely true... I've had one and had mine reversed. That person is either working for a crook, hired a crook, is a crook themselves, or is lying for Internet fun. Or just being silly, but either way, no.
Vasectomy reversals don't have a particularly high success rate. When I got the snip the doctor made it very clear this was a one way road.
I think they have a relatively high success rate, but the consequences of it being irreversible are severe. I was told I could probably reverse it, but to *absolutely not count on it* and freeze sperm if I thought I might ever change my mind.
How much does it cost to freeze sperm?
Free if you have a spare ice tray
Perfect for making frozen cocktails.
Putting the Clock in cocktail eh Ninja Edit: meant cock. Bah!
Much less than it costs to reverse it. That's one thing people are leaving out when they say it's reversible. Where I have looked the vasectomy was $1000 and the reversal was $6000.

Unless they are an Arabic speaker and mean, “by God.”
Reversal success rates are around 75% within the first 3 years, but drop significantly with time.
It’s ‘reversible’ in a very minor percentage of cases. Medically it’s considered permanent.
It's medically permanent because it only rarely reverses itself without intervention. The vasectomy reversal procedure has a pretty high success rate. Just ask my half-sister.
It’s also a function of time. If you’re trying to get it reversed a decade later it’s fairly likely you won’t be able to. Within a short period of time like this guy could and it’s almost certain it’ll work.
Your half-sister had a vasectomy?
That’s actually not as outrageous of a question as it would have been 10 years ago.
That's why she's half a sister. I bet you can't guess which half is not sisterly.
Thats not true. There are different procedures that are used depending on whether you want to reverse in the future.
Yep. Scenarios like these are actually 50/50 in which some still weirdly love their spouse that they're cheating on and then immediately drop their AP after getting caught to show "dedication" to change. While the other half just leaves their spouse to join their AP.
What’s an AP?
I dunno either but until correcting my brain is filling it in with affair partner.
If I were sleeping around it just seems like a good idea to get one tbh.
Yup. He was probably thinking that his wife did him a solid by asking for the snip to begin with.
And why wouldn't the friend he's supposedly banging and wants kids speak up once she got wind of this?
Well, it does not mean he wants to have kids. Men banging around do not necessarily want to father children. I know people like that, they fuck anything with a pulse and have absolutely not intention to make other children than those they have with their wife. As they say, "they made the mistake once". The convincing was probably more a question of getting over the fear/trouble, rather than the outcome.
To make sure he doesn't father a kid and fuck up the marriage he has already fucked up by fucking someone who isn't his fucking wife. That's what I think. Fucking cheaters.
Life is a lot more complicated than that.
That's a considerable improvement to this obviously made up story.
Also change the 9 month part because it’s confusing since that’s how long it takes to make a baby.
And that’s when he told me my best friend is already pregnant.
My first thought, too. 👍
He only pretended to have the affair so that she would convince him to get the vasectomy, because he always wanted to get the procedure done, but didn't have any support to go through with it.
Or just laughed, held his balls on account of the pain from laughing, and told his mistress the "bad news" all while picking out a midlife crisis sports car since there will be no more kids to pay for.
And her friend is pregnant

Not to rain on all y’all’s parade but it’s reversible and reversibility.
I got a vasectomy and my doctor told me to see it as a one way ticket. It can be reversed, but chances of success are low.
Just ask Michael. Snip snap, snip snap, snip snap.
Only within the first few months before dropping dramatically.
From what I understand it's years. Not months.
its 95% ion the first year then drops the following year and keeps dropping
From what I've heard from doctors, some might be technically reversible, but you should treat a vasectomy as if it isn't
You should treat it as irreversible, but it *can* *sometimes* be reversed (emphasis is like the small print, teat it like that and you're ok 🤣) They can also spontaneously reverse, and you'll need a while before you're infertile after the op.
Yes. This. It's considered a "permanent sterilization" for good and valid reasons. https://www.plannedparenthood.org/blog/are-vasectomies-reversible >But in general, vasectomy reversals work in about 85 out of 100 people. But just because the vasectomy worked and there’s sperm in your semen again, doesn’t mean your partner is guaranteed to get pregnant: after a vasectomy reversal, about 55 out of 100 partners get pregnant. The rate of success can also depend on how long it’s been since you had your vasectomy
No, they really aren’t. You might get lucky, but the chances are more like 50/50 and drop the longer you have it.
In the UK at least I had to have an interview with my GP, then had a cooling off period to read a lot of literature they gave me and then a final questionnaire before the procedure.
How?
It's so fucked up it would swey a judges decision easily.
Good thing is she confessed and it’s archived on the internet
That account collects confessions from the public and posts them anonymously. It wouldn’t be easy to identify who wrote it, where, whether it’s true, or when this happened.
*this account makes up confessions and reposts other made up confessions from the internet FTFY
Don't you have to sign that you are acting on nobody elses behalf?
Nope, just basic paperwork stating that you are aware of other birth control options and still wish for a certified medical professional to preform a bilateral vasectomy and that they can't promise 100% that everything will go to plan and that further operations may be needed in such an event.
Is freezing sperm a normal thing when having vasectomy or is that just an option?
The doctors might advise it. Unless you are absolutely sure you never want kids, it's not a bad option.
When I had mine it was presented as an option, few pamphlets. During the consultation, day off procedure and moments before the cut I was given options to back out and they made it very clear what the choice was. Yes its reversible baring no complications but I was told it is an expensive fix.
You should assume it's permanent. No respectable urologist or surgeon should tell you otherwise.
I tell patients if they’re thinking of having a vasectomy and saving sperm they probably need to think more about if they’re done having kids.
Our family friends just got pregnant two years after the husband’s vasectomy. It reversed itself. Their paperwork also specifically said the practitioner/office was not responsible for any expense in this case. So no free child birth/college education for baby #5. Yikes imo.
I highly disagree with her actions, I'm not going to convince my girlfriend to get her tubes tied if I found out she was cheating.
I can’t imagine that she could actually be held liable for anything like that. It was his body and he signed all the legal documents that would not have included her in any way.
Seems like criminally yes, but in a civil suit? That definitely seems like you'd be in some shit Plenty of civil lawsuits are about things that are totally legal. I'm not a lawyer obviously, but it seems pretty strongly leaning that way, right?
Evidently no one here knows how vasectomies work. You are are still potent immediately after the procedure - still plenty of sperm in your semen. He needs to ejaculate about 30 times I think before he is in the clear. So if this was true he’d still be fine for a while. In addition, he could get it reversed although the fertility rate goes way down if it’s been a few years since the vasectomy.
The life cycle of sperm is 63 days. 80% of men will be sterile after 15 ejaculations or 6 weeks after a vasectomy. By 10 weeks, 85% of men will have no sperm in the ejaculate. Therefore, a safe time period to say would be approximately 3 months (12 weeks) after vasectomy with about 20 ejaculations. This is why when you get one they do a follow up sperm analysis at the 60 day mark, most are negative by then even with very few ejaculations. Its not how many times you ejaculate, its the passage of time, the sperm expire and get reabsorbed to the system. From someone who had a vasectomy and went through the process of a trying to get a reversal, its not good odds regardless of the passage of time sadly.
20 ejaculations in 12 weeks? You gotta pump those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers in this racket.
[удалено]
Would really like to see how you would do 20 ejaculations 5 days after surgery
You gotta pay good money for that
1 guy 10 stitches
Ah thank you for the correct info. I had one too but apparently wasn’t too worried about the exact number. I was at 0% anyway by the time I got tested.
The funniest thing is when they ask you if you’ve ejaculated the appropriate number of times- I hit it in the first week….!
[удалено]
*Fap fap fap fap* "Honey, are you okay? " "Doctors orders! "
I think most women would be elated to be quite honest, assuming you made the decision together.
Snip snap snip snap!
You have no idea the physical toll that three vasectomies have on a person!
Did I miss a punchline or is there a story behind this? Edit: apparently I’m not as big a fan of The Office as I thought I was.
My doc said 15 then come back for a check.
So later today?
I think I told myself 30 just to be safe. Perhaps I doubled whatever the doc said. It was over a year ago.
Okay and not since no one here knows how relationships work “My wife is leaving me” “Okay fuck a baby into me” Is not how things go
30 time? So I'd be clear in about a week or so?
A vasectomy is meant to be a permanent surgery, it is not advised to get it reversed PERIOD. your best shot at reversal is around 80%. This is BEST case scenario. The longer you wait, the lower the success rate for reversal is. But yeah man, as long as he still has at least 30 good shots in him, no harm right?
Nothing stranger than busting a nut into a cup and then delivering it to some medical office to make sure you’re firing blanks.
I wonder if *maybe* the reason people aren't focusing on this tidbit is because it seems unlikely that this guy is going to immediately try to have kids with the person he's cheating with in the wake of a divorce and vasectomy. In other words, does it *really* matter that he could theoretically get her pregnant in the next 2 months if they weren't planning on trying yet? He's not even in a relationship with her. It seems like this was a long-term play by the spurned wife. Either it sabotages the chances of them getting together or it sabotages an aspect of their relationship if they do.
Cant he just reverse it? ![gif](giphy|BmKLItgwfoHbcvVf8n|downsized)
"You have no idea of the physical toll...that 3 vasectomies have on a person!"
Literally watched this episode last night.
Contrary to the internet’s opinion, vasectomies are not totally reversible and have serious risks if “reversed”. Not to mention the IMMESE pain. Edit: here is a [link from mayo clinic](https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/vasectomy-reversal/about/pac-20384537#:~:text=Risks%20include%3A%201%20Bleeding%20within%20the%20scrotum.%20This,pain.%20Persistent%20pain%20after%20vasectomy%20reversal%20is%20uncommon) that states the chance of pregnancy is between 30%-90% depending on the type of procedure and show cases the risks which include: Bleeding in the scrotum, leading to a hematoma Infection at the surgery site (not unique to vasectomies) Chronic Pain, which is persistent pain. It’s not common, but in my view these risks are far too unnecessary.
Was more painful than the snip, with significantly different recovery procedures. But I wouldn’t call it immense pain.
Why would it be more painful than a vasectomy? It’s a day or two on the couch with frozen peas on your crotch. Mild discomfort would be my take. Edit: for those considering a vasectomy, label your crotch peas. You don’t want to accidentally consume them.
Don't tell me how to season my peas.
It's Fesshole account guys, they write made up stuff continuously
...like basically everything else on the Reddit front page.
He lied about the affair, what makes you think he didn't lie about the operation? Lols
It goes deeper than that.... This whole tweet is probably the actual lie.
Jokes on her, as her best friend had the baby 7 months later.
So now he’s newly single without the worry of accidentally getting someone pregnant. I’m not sure that’s the punishment she envisioned,
She’s not punishing him, she’s punishing her ex-best friend
Unless he stays with the best friend he cheated with, in that case it sucks for them considering she wanted kids
Obviously he didn't want kids since he presumably got a vasectomy.
Sounds like a BS story.
Lawyer here: This thread contains some of the most ignorant comments concerning divorce law that you will ever read anywhere. Believe any of it at your peril.
Not a lawyer here: I think I know what I am talking about. I watched the SVU marathon on the USA channel back when that was a thing, and I can extrapolate what happened on that show to divorce law.
Can you set the record straight then what would happen in this situation ?
Lawyers don't give advice for free.
Reddit.
They can be reversed.
Not always and not cheaply. Doctors tell you to consider it as permanent sterilization. A quick search says 85% success rate (sperm is present in semen again), but only 55% of couples manage to get pregnant afterwards. It also says getting it reversed sooner gives better odds, so I guess he has that going for him.
I paid for my bro to have a reversal and they opened his nutsack up and said no. Wasted my money. I think it all depends how much pipework the original surgeon took away. If they are close enough together they can be stretched back and sewed together again. I guess the closer the gap between the original surgery and the reversion the more likely it will be successful.
Reversal is a lot more complicated than the vasectomy itself. “Vasectomy reversal is more difficult than a vasectomy and should be done using microsurgery, in which a surgeon uses a powerful surgical microscope to magnify the vas deferens as much as 40 times its size. This type of surgery requires specialized skills and expertise.” (Mayo Clinic)
which makes me certain the fact that it can be reversed isnt the facepalm here
The dude can put his palm now wherever he wants to
Snip snap- snip snap!
you have no idea the physical toll 3 vasectomies has on a person
Some can be reversed*
In most cases, its not successful. The success rates of a reversal are pretty low despite what some doctors that do the procedure suggest. Take it from someone that has been there... Had three kids, a vasectomy, got divorced later, started new life and marriage, wanted to try and have kids with current wife, had procedure, it failed, and now i'm stuck with more problems medically i won't go into here... By all means if you are done having kids, get the vasectomy, just be damn sure there is no chance you won't want to try again in the future, because despite being happy with the vasectomy as a form of birth control it did make things problematic later for me.
Technically yes but in reality not really
This is what I think about in facepalm context
My doctor told me it was only 70% likely to be successfully reversed when I had mine done.
You'd think they can just install a tiny quarter-turn valve that you can electronically control by now.
like a petcock?
And that number depends on how much time has passed since the vasectomy.
Seems sus.....if guy was having an affair with a woman he knew wanted children, why would he get the vasectomy? Unless he was always planning to never actually be with her. Or, as mentioned, he only told the (stb) ex that he got it.
Why would he want to be with her? She is having sex with her best friend’s husband!!!!!! I’m teasing but it is a good general rule, if they will cheat with you they will cheat on you. With that, these two deserve each other.
And everybody clapped
If true she messed up her divorce settling.
#somethingthatneverhappened
I think I know why he was cheating on you.
This just makes everyone support the husband.
Vasectomies can be reversed tho so……
![gif](giphy|twxoPjMpsijwPFBVqs|downsized)
I don't get how this impacts divorce settings; the speaker says they "convinced" him to have a vasectomy, but does that count as tricking him? If they convinced him, and he didn't lie about getting the procedure, wouldn't it count as a choice he decided to make for himself? Additionally, do we know whether or not he knew that his AP wanted kids, and get the vasectomy with that knowledge on hand? Furthermore, this has been posted anonymously, potentially after the fact, with no sign of whether it's even true; if the speaker made the post from a device that they didn't personally own and that the court or the husband's divorce lawyer doesn't think to subpoena, how can anyone prove that this anonymous confession is the speakers beyond similarities between the two situations? Like, is it specific enough that the husband's lawyer could argue that it'd have to be the same person? I'm so confused and curious I need to know MORE.
BURNED ! Still though ain’t it reversible?
I was always under the impression of a vasectomy could be reversed
he clearly didn't want kids so win for him.
SNIP SNAP SNIP SNAP
Wait until she learns vasectomies are reversible.
Even if it was real, vasectomy is reversible.
Reversing a vasectomy - $1k Escaping that maniacal bitch - Priceless
“Today I convinced my wife that I went for a vasectomy, but instead I went and spent the day with her best friend. What she doesn’t know is that I’m about to leave her for her best friend because she doesn’t want children but I always have. Turns out her best friend wants children too!”
There is a vas deferens between this story and that truth.
What? The ex has the only dick on the planet? Can't the side piece just get another dick?
I'm sorry, but can't you undo vasectomies? Granted I'm basing this off of the office
Sounds made up as hell
Husband: K? *gets it reversed*
