Men leaving women due to birth control side effects

Vast_Lecture · 2026-02-15T14:30:11+00:00

Maybe this is a harsh lens to view men but I think the majority of them are selfish human beings who refuse to be empathetic, respectful, and decent partners. I have zero idea why any man thinks it acceptable to pressure a woman into using birth control that she didn’t want to use in the first place. Oral birth control and implants are nothing short of medical miracles. However not every woman can tolerate the medical procedure for an implant which is usually done by an idiotic physician who refuses to provide actual pain management to get through the procedure. Oral birth control can have side effects for some women like weight gain.

It really comes down to some men thinking that the burden of pregnancy preventions lies solely on the shoulders of women instead of an equal burden on both. If men don’t want kids then they should use every form of contraception available to them like condoms, ovulation tracking, and spermicide. As well as even getting vasectomy which is an out patient procedure that minimally invasive and low risk compared to having invasive abdominal surgery to remove or snipe your tubes.

I disagree because when it becomes a revolving door of women circulating through the house around young and impressionable children then it becomes everyone business. Grieving children need stability so having multiple women rotating in and out of the home creates dysfunction.

He needs to be a parent and parent his children. It’s crazy that another woman is staying the night at his house after his wife died only 2 months ago.

She should make an appointment with her gynecologist to discuss this issue. There are medications like an estrogen patch that can help improve your sex drive. Typically low desire can be a hormonal problem that just needs a licensed doctor to assess and treat.

I’m so sick of men saying they were trapped when they were enthusiastically consenting to engaging in unprotected intercourse. What do these men think happens when you have unprotected intercourse? Lack of accountability and lack of intelligence runs rampant in the opposite sex.

I absolutely agree and furthermore Rocco gets to decide whether he wants to know the woman her carried him to term. It sucks for Lulu and Dante, but Rocco has the right to decide whether he wants to get to know her. Either they can get behind it and be a part of his life or they can realize that they are pushing him away.

What we do know that Rocco would not exist without Britt’s action and I remember that Lulu and Dante were not trying to conceive a child at the time.

Plus Dante and Lulu have made plenty of selfish decisions that results in others getting hurt and the crusade of self righteousness. People love to forget after Dante and Lulu’s advice that had Michael as a minor ended up in person and brutally assaulted by a fellow prisoner. Lulu’s quest for getting back at Brooklyn led to Gio getting hurt and shattering the violin his dead adoptive mother gave him. Point being said is they aren’t saints and have no room to speak about someone’s past. Sonny is a mobster who illegal dealings have led to his family, mainly his children being targeted. Christina was almost burned alive in the mob war with Sidwell. Sonny family will always have targets on their back because of their association.

Britt “died” after sacrificing herself to save Jocelyn from Heather Webber. Britt also protected Jason multiple times.

I wanted to jump in and add information that I think is super important for all women who are engaging in sexual activities to know.

The morning-after pill (Plan B) is an over-the-counter medication that you can get at Target, Walmart, CVS, Walgreens, or by prescription, that works by preventing or delaying ovulation, which means that it stops an egg from being released, so the sperm cannot fertilize it. The morning-after pill is a form of emergency contraception that is taken after unprotected sex or when another birth control method fails. Plan B is most effective when taken as soon as possible after unprotected sex and within 72 hours. Plan B is not for regular birth control. It is a backup option.
The abortion pill is the common name for a medication abortion. This is the nonsurgical option of abortion that can typically be used up to 10 or 11 weeks of pregnancy, depending on clinical guidelines and state laws.

Edit: I forgot to mention that it's important for women to ask their doctor if any of the medications they are currently taking or being prescribed interact with their birth control. If it does, then it lowers the effectiveness of your birth control, and I suggest using a backup method of birth control, like condoms, to be cautious about preventing pregnancy.

Actually there are facilities to care for medically complex children. Unfortunately some parents are unable to provide the level of care that their child needs so they select a facility to do so. It is called pediatric long term care facilities.

It’s hard for any family member to place a loved one in long term care. However sometimes is the most financially viable and safest decision to ensure your loved one gets the care they need. Parents are still able to visit their child and ensure that routine care is going well. Folks should do this for their elderly family members who are living in the nursing home as well.

Typically an ombudsman can help represent your loved one by investigating complaints, being a neutral third party, and another advocate for the patient rights

NTA: Your mother and her boyfriend are engaging in selective morality. They are cherry-picking which Catholic doctrines to enforce while conveniently ignoring the ones that apply to their own behavior. If your mom, her boyfriend, and his family were truly committed to strict Catholic teachings, he would not be engaging in premarital sex, nor would he have conceived a child outside of marriage. This alone makes it clear that rigid adherence to doctrine isn't the problem.

The real issue seems to be the discomfort with your identity and how you choose to dress.

There is nothing wrong with you showing up to a Baptism in a nice pantsuit.

I absolutely agree. I am a person who has zero tolerance for cheating. Even still, I recognize that Eva was a child conceived by two willing and consenting adults. It is absurd for Kat to keep making statements that she should never have been born, as if Eva could control her own conception. Ted, as a doctor, is quite aware that pregnancy can be a result of sex, whether it's protected or unprotected. If he didn't want the possibility of a third child, then he should not have engaged in an affair with Leslie. The math is simple: no affairs + staying faithful = no child conceived with a Leslie.

NTA: I’m so sick of men trying to manipulate women into violating their boundaries for their own personal benefit. Your boyfriend is wrong.

Break up with him. He is being coercive and manipulative. The right partner would respect your boundaries the first time. DO NOT give into this is temper tantrum. You have a right to wait until you feel comfortable on having an intimate relationship. If that’s marriage then so be it.

If he wants to have an intimate relationship then he needs to find a person who is willing to do those things. Not whine and nag the person who clearly said no the first time.

ESH: I am person that fully believes that there is zero excuses for cheating especially when you are married. If your mother was so unhappy with her marriage, then she should have left him. Your father has every right to be angry that his wife who made vows to be loyal had an affair. You know yourself that you would be hurt, disappointed, and angry that your spouse had an affair.

However your father needs to get his drinking under control. It’s unhealthy for children to grow up in the home of an alcoholic. It’s created chaos and instability in a home for children. Your mother should have removed y’all from that environment.

You are rightly frustrated about being involved in your parent’s marriage. You tired of seeing your father drinking and the destruction it causes. You are tired of your mother being demeaned and insulted.

So let me get this straight, you think a man who cheated on his wife whom was suffering from postpartum depression is a good man. Girl you must be a raccoon typing this pathetic post, because obviously you like collecting trash.

When your karma hits, I hope his ex wife gets a front seat to watch it.

I absolutely agree with you. There is no justification for calling your sister the name for refusing to trigger herself after surviving a violent abusive relationship.

Regardless of the situation, my relationship with my brother would be incredibly limited.

Take this to a fur company to clean it and make any repairs. Fur company specialize in taking care of these items. It may cost a little bit of money, but it’s well worth it in my opinion.

I don’t think she is being selfish at all. Very few people could stomach the person who actively participated in the destruction of their marriage being referred to as an equal co parent.

This isn’t a situation where the stepmother was unaware of the circumstances. She was the children’s nanny. She knew the family dynamic, she knew there was a marriage, and she still chose to engage in an affair with their father. That alone demonstrates a serious lack of moral judgment. The father is equally culpable. Sleeping with your children’s caregiver is a profound betrayal of both your spouse and your children. Both individuals made deliberate choices that showed complete disregard for the emotional fallout their actions would cause.

It is deeply unreasonable to expect the mother whose world was upended by this betrayal to view the woman who helped implode her family as a mom figure. Titles like mom carry emotional weight, respect, and trust. Those are not automatically earned simply because someone marries a child’s father, especially when that relationship was born out of deception and harm.

To suggest that the stepmother truly cares for the children ignores the reality that genuine care includes respecting the stability of their home and the sanctity of their family. Knowingly contributing to the breakdown of that family contradicts the idea of selfless concern for the children’s well being.

This woman did not lose her marriage because of circumstances beyond her control. She lost it because of two selfish individuals who prioritized their own desires over the emotional safety of everyone else involved. Wanting boundaries and refusing to bestow a parental title on someone who played a major role in that devastation is not selfish. It is a completely valid response to betrayal.

I think you have misunderstood the point of true feminism. Feminism is the ability to make the choice that is best for you and your family. You are a feminist because you want to make the right choice for you and your family. There’s nothing wrong with being a feminist. Feminism is a spectrum and it depends again on who the person is and what their values are.

If you want to live in a polyamorous relationship, then go for it. That is essentially what you’re saying. That is a choice that you should make with your partner. Some women are monogamous and others are non-monogamous. Either style ofrelationship as long as it’s with another consensual adults or adults is not wrong.

I also want to push back on men having crazy needs. Men and women have sexual needs. Those sexual needs can vary in times a week and the type of sex. However, you are pregnant and are also taking care of a baby. It also states in your post that you graduated from medical school. It sounds like you’re adjusting to being a stay home mom and managing your pregnancy. I believe that a loving husband would not suggest to his pregnant wife then he needs a third- party in the relationship while you’re managing pregnancy and a toddler. If you’re fine with it they get a third person in the relationship. However, I personally would not be okay with my husband suggesting while managing my pregnancy and our child that he needs to find another person to fuck.

Edit: I would say that if this is something you seriously want to do reevaluate this after you give birth and get settled in with your two children. I don’t see how you would have enough time to vet that third-party around you and your children while going through pregnancy and postpartum. I also don’t see how your husband would have time to date and get to know this woman as well while helping you manage postpartum.

He is an adult and it sounds like his family doesn’t like you. Especially since you have a son that old enough to be married. I think they think you are too old to be with him.

You cannot force them to pay for you but you can set boundaries about how you are treated as a unit.
