"She wanted a girl, she told me. Later she said she wanted girls to balance the equation. A woman who wants more never agrees to family planning so I decided to do it myself."

Sharing his story on Silent Beads, the man said he went ahead with the vasectomy procedure without informing his wife.

But two years later his wife announced a pregnancy, leading him to suspect infidelity. After a DNA test confirmed that the child wasn't his, the marriage ended.

A year later, he remarried a woman 10 years younger, who seemed like the perfect partner. Two years into the marriage his second wife announced she was pregnant.

"While she was on the sofa thanking God, I was by myself asking “How could she?” I looked at the mirror and laughed at myself. “You think you were running from the frying pan? Look at you walking through the valley of the shadow of death now.”"

Despite the betrayal, the man has decided to accept the child and avoid causing any tension in the marriage. He added that he would tell his second wife they are done having children and live with her.
