To snip or not snip

I am fairly annoyed that my tubal ligation was preformed the way it was. My tubes were simply banded and not cut or burned. We have had a couple of scares since it was done almost 4 years ago. The scares would not be scary if the chances of them being ectopic were not so high. Most pregnancies that occur when someone has had a tubal are ectopic and are of course not viable. Now there are some even rarer circumstances where the pregnancies will be viable, like when tubes that were cut grow back together for instance. That would not be devastating for us. Unplanned, oh heck yes. It would certainly change things, but we would be happy with it. It would take a little adjusting. OK a lot of adjusting. Anyway I am not even sure in my case viability is a possibilty since no uctting was done at all.

OK so anyway I got a little side tracked. My husband is a wuss. Now if you know me, and you know him, you know I would not ordinarily ever think this of him and you know he is usually not even what is close to what would be considered one. But I have to say he has me a bit annoyed. I want him to have a vasectomy. This conversation has occurred before and he always blew me off. Well last night he gave me a solid answer to my question. If they knock me out completely I will do it. What? No doctor will do that. What they will do is numb your nuts, buddy. Nope not good enough. Why? Because he has sensitive balls. Ha ha! Like no other man that has had a vasectomy has had sensitive balls, like their balls are made of steel or something, come on you wienie! Now my husband can practically slice off a hand tape it up and go back to work, but he won't get his nuts numbed for this little procedure. I think there is far more to it than that to be honest with you. I think he feels there will be a loss of manhood involved here.

I just think it really sucks that I was put under for my procedure and still do not have piece of mind from it four years later and he cannot do this for me. Well I guess I will just have to remind him how much truth there is to the statement behind every unhappy wife there is a an even unhappier husband. >insert evil little laugh< It's not like I am asking to have his balls removed, just to have a little snip made in them, take a day or two off, and everything will return to normal. Is that really too much to ask?
