*This is something I heard on the radio.

A man and a woman are married. They make the decision to start trying to have a baby. They try, unsuccessfully, for years.

The woman goes through fertility treatments and has had 36 negative pregnancy tests.

After 3 years of trying, the husband finally tells the wife that she's been unable to get pregnant because prior to meeting her, he got a vasectomy.

Apparently this little detail never came out and the husband allowed the wife to go through hormone treatments and pregnancy tests knowing that it was highly unlikely she'd conceive.

When he finally told her about the vasectomy, she gave him a choice: he could agree to her getting a doner sperm, reverse the vasectomy, or get divorced.

The radio hosts were divided as to whose side they were on.

On the one hand, some think the wife was being very reasonable in her reaction to the husband's lying and the fact that he allowed her to go through the emotional and financial stress of hormone treatments and all of the needless pregnancy tests.

On the other, some think the wife is being unreasonable by threatening divorce because lying about one's firtility status is not a good enough reason to divorce.

I have been having a lot of oddly similar symptoms to early pregnancy and haven't had the time to get a test or go to the doctor. I figured that I should probably end up telling my boyfriend before I did either just so that he wouldn't possibly freak out since we are both still young. His reaction was actually quite surprising since he had a very neutral reaction to the situation. He wasn't upset or happy, in fact he simply asked me when the soonest possible time for me to visit the doctor was. Do you think he is simply trying to remain calm until a confirmed result?
