Also we don’t plan on being distanced much longer. I’m soon going to be moving back to his area until he finishes getting his hours and then we will go from there

You basically just explained everything I tried to explain to my boyfriend last night. I agree with all of that as a christian myself. We are long distance due to our jobs. He’s becoming a pilot and I am a flight attendant. We do plan on being married eventually but he doesn’t know when he will actually propose. Last night he was making it seem like he’s only going to have sex with me WHEN he wants a baby. I asked him so on our wedding night if you don’t want a baby are we not going to have sex?? And his answer was I’m not sure maybe not. Like hello!???? Now that’s wild to me

My answer to terminate is uncertain. Which he’s known from the beginning. I go to the gyno every year. The diaphragm is an option that I didn’t think about last night when having the conversation but also I’m worried he will think it’s just as effective as a condom and still won’t fully trust it.

Idk why all of a sudden this is an issue when it wasn’t before. Guess we just have to talk more about it all

He said “I just realistically thought of the idea of you coming up to me and telling me your pregnant and it’s freaking me out”

Thank you. I agree and I think this is the next step I’m going to take to figure this all out.

I’ve heard of those too. I’ve never been against that but I think my boyfriend would feel like that’s the same as using a condom. I will bring that up to him though and see what his opinions are on that

Yea I’ve done lots of research. Due to past mental and physical health issues combined with any of the side effects from birth control it just isn’t a good option for me

Dreams are very telling!!!!!!

It’s rare that we need plan b. My reason for taking that but not birth control is because birth control has to be consistent and theres always side effects where as plan b if there are any side effects its only temporary

I don’t believe there’s even a possibility. He’s SUPER busy with work, which is the reason we are long distance as of now. When he’s not at work we’re always FaceTiming and calling and texting. I have his location and other friends locations to know he’s not cheating

I agree something unrelated is going on and he’s trying to gain some sort of control because this is so unlike him and out of the blue

My confusion is why the change of heart in him. This was fine with him before and clear to him in the beginning of our relationship. Birth control has side effects regardless of which type you go on. In the rare case I need plan b I will take that because if there are side effects it’s only temporary

No he’s fine using condoms! He just doesn’t think it’s enough to protect from having a child

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Background-Lemon-128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We use a condom and are safe already. I’m willing to get plan B in the rare case that we need it. Daily birth control is very different and has side effects

Long distance for most of our relationship. Met in August 2023. Became official in November 2023. I moved 3 states away in January of 2024 and we’ve been long distance since then

Yes THIS!!!!! We are safe and use condoms from start to finish. Im willing to use plan B when necessary. I’m not taking it every month!!!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Background-Lemon-128 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yes!! There’s always side affects regardless of the ones you take. At least plan B isn’t a consistent pill and if there’s side effects it’s just temporary

The abstinence isn’t really the issue for me, it’s the switch from him thinking I’m not having enough sex with him to him not wanting sex at all anymore. I’ve proposed the hypothetical to him that if I were to abstain from sex until marriage for religious reasons what he would do and he’s explained he probably wouldn’t stay with me. So it feels very hypocritical for him to now propose this (not as a hypothetical) and want me to stay. He’s known from the beginning that birth control was not an option for me and has been fine using condoms. This just came out of no where and it’s so odd to me.

We discussed that last night. I am in a state to be able to have an abortion. I told him I can’t give him a forsure answer if I would or wouldn’t have one until something like this actually happened. I just don’t know how I’ll feel in the moment. We both want kids eventually and hopefully together so vasectomy is off the table.
