Birth Control Challenges

Dear Lori and Jeff,

My husband and I have been together for almost twenty years, have two beautiful children and, for the most part, are happily married. The one issue to which we can’t seem to find any resolution is birth control. Throughout our relationship, I’ve been the one who has held the responsibility for protection, through several different methods. But now that we are very certain that we don’t want more kids and I’m more than ready to no longer be manipulating my body, so I’ve asked him to get a vasectomy. He pushes back saying it’s too permanent and it will make him feel like less of a man. How do I get him to finally be the one to take responsibility for this aspect of our relationship?
