A short conversational clip (YouTube) featuring Vanessa Marin and Xander Marin discussing how a woman can approach a male partner who resists getting a vasectomy. The exchange emphasizes acknowledging the partner's concerns, using 'and' instead of 'but,' and framing vasectomy as one of the remaining birth-control options alongside condoms when both partners agree they do not want more children.

Chapters

Let's say a woman has told her partner, like, I would like for you to have a vasectomy. And let's say he's like, no, I don't want to do that. Like, I'm not going to feel like a man. Or it's going to, you know, it's not going to feel as good, or like, I just don't want to do it. What do we do if we encounter resistance from our partners?
I'm going to assume that you guys are on the same page about not wanting to have kids or being done with having kids. The key is to just acknowledge, like, hey, I get that. I get that you're worried. I get you're worried about X, Y, and Z. I get it. And use an and here, do not say, but say. And I have done X number of years of taking on the mental load for birth control. I have dealt with these side effects. I am going to get off birth control. And so because, you know, we are in agreement that we don't want to have kids, that leaves you with two options for birth control, condoms or a vasectomy. So you're not telling your partner they have to get a vasectomy, but your. Options as I see them. So what do you think?
