He doesn't want me to get a tubal ligation
What do you do when the pushback comes from your partner?
Episode 45
“We need to advocated for ourselves, always. Never let anyone tell you that you don't know what you want.”
“Now I wish I’d never brought it up but mostly I’m sad and feel quite alone.”
We help out a childfree woman whose partner is pushing back against her decision to get permanent birth control surgery. There’s tons of great advice from the childfree community here, about negotiating this tricky subject with your partner, what to do if they seem to be sitting on the fence, and owning what is ultimately your choice, for your life.
If you have a problem you’d like the community’s help with, email hello@wearechildfree.com with “Ask WAC” as the subject line.
Questions from We are Childfree members get priority! To jump the queue, get episodes a week early, and find your community of childfree cheerleaders, join us at www.wearechildfree.com/join/ 🙌
