67alecto Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Vasectomies....who has had one? After our third kid was born last month, we're officially done. That is to say, I thought we were done after our daughter was born 5 years ago, but my wife advised me that I was misinformed and that we would be having a third. The third is here, and with two boys and a girl, we're truly done. So I had a consultation for a vasectomy today and based on the recovery time and the restriction on high intensity activity, I'm going to have it done in early May after I finish my current Insanity program. Has anyone here had one and care to share the details of how it went, recovery, and so on? How about any issues with "back pressure"? Which the doctor said can cause discomfort up to 9-months post-operation (and he clarified that it could mean 'take a couple of days off work"). Repairing a lifetime of bad habits... Link to comment

Tanktimus the Encourager Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Congrats on the new child. My dad had a vasectomy after I was born, but it's never really been discussed. Also, on a lark I went into the archives and looked at the threads from the very first challenge. Yours and Steve's were the only threads from people who still seem to be on the boards, well done on sticking it out this long.

Suited hippy Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 I have a man question, kind of personal, but none of my friends have been through a break up as an adult so I can't really draw on them as a resource when their last break ups were when they were in highschool. I was with my ex for nearly 9 years, we were married for 3, I took great care of her, her family loved me, she got sick and I stood by her through thick and thin as a nurse for 2.5 years. She was in chronic pain, and depressed, and it took it's toll on me, I was defeated. Some magic cure fixed her medical issues and a week later, without any reason she said she could never be happy with me and said she wanted a divorce... I was thrown for a loop, thinking I would have been getting blow jobs and breakfast in bed for months with how well I treated and took care of her while she was sick... Not the case. I was pissed off, and when she walked out the door I dead bolted it closed. 9 months go by, I have taken life my the horns, lost 80 lbs, been killing it at work, changing the world, and all around living life to the fullest on every possible occasion. I have a great group of friends, started a number of sports teams, simplified my life, and living environment. I had to meet up with her last night to take care of some tax forms and I was really nervous about it. She came over, and as I opened the door her jaw dropped. "WOW, You've lost some weight!" That felt great! I was feeling like it was not going to be terrible. She came in, we chatted for 3 hours in what felt like minutes, like old friends who had not seen each other in ages. Talked about what we've been up to, dating, friends we have in common... But the over arching theme that she was talking about was how shitty her life was. She lives beside meth heads, while I live in a downtown apartment. She's gotten fired from another job, and is now working shift work, while I am working my career dream job, how she is struggling with making technology work and everything keeps breaking around her... Listening to her I was feeling terrible about what was happening to this person that I love, but was abandoned by for no reason. So after that bit of context I guess the Man question is, in the past do you ever worry about your ex's? It is the manliest of pursuits to be a provider for a partner, and while she did leave me, I find myself feeling bad for her... Currently lost in Fitness. Link to comment
Nomad Jay Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 I think it's natural to have a certain amount of empathy towards someone you were emotionally involved with for a significant period of time.

Mordechaj Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Never been married, but your reaction is not only normal but commendable. There's a lot of people that would say Schadenfreude to her story. And while simply not being a jerk is not a positive character trait per se - it's simply an absence of a negative one - your story wouldn't make you an asshole if you told her "Frankly my darling...". Did you ever get her reasoning why she left?And are you sure she was truly herself if she was first depressed, and then on magic pills? I'm in good friendly relations with one of my ex girlfriends, second one needs only 6,4 seconds to get on my nerves, but I don't actively dislike her, or wish her ill, and I'm out of communication with the third.That's about right for the gradation how much would I go out of my way to help them in something if they needed it too.

wildross Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 I've been married for 32 years to a woman who has a rather amazing medical history (as in, she's been on a lot of different anti depressants, pain killers, and other stuff). You asked whether one should 'feel bad' for an ex. No help there at all (my last ex was when I was 19). But you don't mention whether you are interested in rekindling the relationship. So some observations about what you have shared... 1) Meds, especially anti depressants and pain killers can really mess with your mind (duh). A piece often missed is that they can REALLY mess up a woman's hormones. 2) If the drugs were ended suddenly, the "out of the blue" actions could have been withdrawal symptoms, or hormonal swings caused by the drugs or by their withdrawal. And just like with street drugs, withdrawal from and stabilization afterwards can take months.3) Some people don't react well to needing to be taken care of and end up thinking they are not "worthy" or feeling guilty.4) You didn't mention whether the 'cure' was chemical or surgical. That could have psychological impacts as well. You have some interesting choices..... Warriors don't count reps and sets. They count tons.
