Woman Says Her Husband Cheated on Dating Apps and They’re Divorcing, Then He Asked Her to Drive Him to His Vasectomy Appointment So He Can Date Younger Women

Divorces are rarely simple, but one woman says her soon-to-be ex-husband made things even stranger with a request that left her stunned.

According to her, the man she’s currently divorcing asked if she could drive him to a vasectomy appointment — even though their marriage ended because he couldn’t stay off dating apps.

Now she’s wondering if refusing to help makes her the bad guy.

A Marriage Already Falling Apart

The 52-year-old woman explained that she and her 56-year-old husband are currently in the middle of a divorce.

The split, she says, happened after she discovered he was constantly using dating apps.

According to her, he admitted he was “addicted” and claimed he couldn’t stop himself from using them.

Despite the divorce proceedings, the two are still living in the same house for now.

She says that’s mainly because he hasn’t saved enough money to move out yet.

Their financial dynamic also played a role in the tension. She says she has been the main breadwinner throughout the relationship, paying most of the household bills while he only covered smaller personal expenses like his car and phone.

The Unexpected Vasectomy Request

The situation took a strange turn one morning when her husband told her he planned to schedule a vasectomy.

Then he asked if she would drive him to the appointment.

She says she immediately refused and told him the request felt incredibly insensitive given the situation between them.

He argued that it was a medical procedure and claimed he would be in pain afterward.

But she says the reason behind the procedure made the request even more insulting.

According to her, he had spent years chasing younger women on dating apps and seemed convinced younger women were particularly interested in older men.

So when he asked for a ride, she gave him a blunt answer.

She told him the vasectomy seemed like a way to avoid pregnancy scares while sleeping with younger women.

The Moment She Finally Snapped

In fact, she says the argument led to something she had never done before in their relationship.

Right after making the comment about younger women, she told him to “f*** off” — the first time she had ever spoken to him that way.

For her, the moment felt like a turning point.

She later added that the relationship had been emotionally and financially draining and had damaged her self-esteem over time.

She says filing for divorce took everything she had emotionally, but the supportive reactions online helped her realize better days are ahead.

Why the Story Blew Up

The story caught attention because of how absurd the request sounded to many readers.

At its core, people saw a man who allegedly cheated on his wife, relied on her financially, still lived in her house during the divorce — and then expected her help getting a procedure done so he could keep dating.

The situation struck many readers as both outrageous and oddly comical.

How Reddit Reacted

Commenters overwhelmingly sided with the woman and criticized the husband’s request.

User Embarrassed_Hat_2904 joked about his dating expectations:

“Young women love older men who can’t even afford to pay for their own lifestyle.”

Another commenter, vancitymala, pointed out the irony of his living situation:

“And live with their ex-wife because they can’t afford to move out.”

Some users suggested the practical solution was simple.

As Vivid-Isopod-7018 wrote:

“He can get an Uber.”

Others argued that the request itself showed incredible entitlement.

User Vivid-Win-4801 summed up the sentiment bluntly:

“If he wanted wife privileges from you, he should have been a better husband.”

And while the divorce is still in progress, many commenters agreed the situation might finally be pushing the woman toward something she says she’s been missing for a long time: peace.
