Aitah for reversing my vasectomy after my wife asked for divorce?
The relationship between a 40-year-old man (OP) and his 40-year-old wife began showing serious signs of trouble when the wife started sending pa*sive-aggressive articles and videos suggesting divorce over several months.
The conflict recently escalated over a specific article about a wife leaving her husband due to dirty dishes.
When the OP refused to read it, he stated that if dishes were enough reason for divorce, she should proceed, adding that he could hire someone to handle the cleaning if it became an issue.
This prompted her to ask for a divorce, which the OP initially ignored but later agreed to act upon by moving out.

The OP is facing a significant contradiction where his wife insists on a divorce, seemingly over a trivial matter like household ch**es, yet she is deeply offended by his decision to reverse a vasectomy that he previously underwent at her request.
The central question is whether the wife is ent*tled to dictate the OP's personal medical choices, such as maintaining sterilization, even while actively ending the marriage, or if the OP's decision to reverse the procedure, based on the dissolution of their agreement, is his autonomous right.
