There’s a lot of societal expectations for women, and often we totally understandably end up meeting them cos we feel we have to. They also sometimes just don’t happen for us. What’s one you’re glad you didn’t meet?

    Same. I knew from a very young age that I didn’t want kids and that has never changed. I got my tubes tied in 2006 and never looked back!

        Yeah, the pressure vanished when I hit the big four-oh. (It had been slacking off for the decade before it.)

        One thing that ticks me off to this day is I could not find a doctor willing to do a tubal ligation if I hadn’t already procreated and didn’t have a life-threatening condition that called for it.

        The same medical establishment that will give men a whole lot less of a hassle if they want vasectomies without procreating first.
