Relationship Dilemma: Should I tell my wife I secretly got a vasectomy?

38-year-old Kisumu-based man seeks help on whether o tell his wife he did a vasectomy secretly. [File, Standard]

On Wednesday, October 27, we published, on our Facebook page – Standard Digital – a relationship dilemma by a Kisumu-based woman. Below is her message:

Hi-Standard,

Kindly hide my identity. I am a 38-year-old man, living and working in Kisumu.
I am married and a loving father of two children. My wife is 31 years old. In May this year, I secretly underwent a vasectomy. I did not consult my wife. She has been pestering me that she wants a third child.
Almost every month, she’s been doing pregnancy tests, which have been returning negative.
She’s now contemplating seeking medical help. I know where the problem is, but I fear telling her.
What should I do? Should I go ahead and confess? She might leave me because she’ll feel betrayed.
