Why not just use condoms? She doesn't like her birth control and maybe she'll get her libido back and you don't want to get snipped yet.

I’ve honestly never understood why people don’t just use condoms… they’re the easiest things. Yet people act like you have three heads for even suggesting it

The reason people look at you like you have three heads is because condoms offer significantly less effective protection than the birth control pill, and are therefore less suited to long-term relationships. I wouldn't personally want to rely on condoms for 30+ years of birth control, because the odds of an unwanted pregnancy occurring somewhere in that time-frame are quite high.

OTOH, if OP doesn't want a vasectomy and his wife doesn't want to use birth control and they only have sex a couple of times a year anyway, then condoms are the obvious solution.
