DH having a sad day (weenie update)
Apparently getting a vasectomy at 32 is a lot like getting a sex change.
Today he had to do a mental evaluation before the procedure. Actually not THAT big a deal, but given his age, he has to go through an interview process (which I understand as some men see it as a 5 year birth control plan) before a doctor will go forward.
DOC: "So you feel you've contributed enough to society, eh?" How many children have you fathered
DH: Technically? Four. But they're dead. We make broken babies.
DOC: 
DH: So, ummm, yeah. We'd like to STOP making broken babies.
DOC: But what if you decide to leave your wife so you can have children? Vas reverseals aren't always successful you know.
DH: 
Thanks doc.

Poor DH.
Oh, and I should mention this whole conversation happened with DH's pants around his ankles, standing, and the doc sitting next to him (weenie level).
Finally DH started to feel like a pervert and was like, "Umm, can I put my pants back on now?"
Wow, who knew that one's contribution to society is measured by how many offspring they have?! I guess professional atheletes are what keep this country going then, huh?
I hope that his doctor's surgical skills are better than his being-a-decent-human skills.
No. He called and told me later. It just sucked BIG TIME hearing that the doc basically implied, "Are you sure you actually still want to be with a woman that can't give you children?"
Like I don't hate myself hard enough for being a failure in that dept.
Although I admit, I'm a teensy bit please that he gets just a taste of the humiliating, invasive and painful procedures I've dealt with the last 4 years.
Amen to this and to the name Dr Dickface, though I might suggest the apt title change be Dr ***-in-face.

I can't believe that dr said that to YH!!!! And "what if you want to leave your wife"?!?! What the fvck is that?! How incredibly rude - I just can't beleive he would say that!! I'm so sorry.
Wow, that was nice and douche-tastic from the Dr. Rawr.
I am so sorry you are going through this and the Dr is making it harder. I have seen you and your DH together and he loves you so much. It is wonderful! XOXO, BGP.
