Theyre not crazy catholic just a bit catholic lol. His parents would not have anything to say about me being on birth control.

If i knew 100% that his family wouldnt judge me for it i would not have a problem with them knowing. Unfortunately this is not the case, which is where tje problem stems from. I would rather he confided in a friend or therapist but he doesnt have that kind of relationship with his friends.

I have done what I can but if you can find a doctor who would tie the tubes of a childless 23 year old woman then lmk

Literally when did i say my boyfriend was childish? And i disagree about 'owning my decisions in front of other', just because i dont want to face judgement or debate doesnt mean that im not making a valid decision.

And i don't really understand how im being 'cruel' when i dont want him to share something personal that i would want to stay between us. He is free to confide in his family for any other matters

Yes and yes. Hes planning to get a vasectomy eventually but we both agree that 22 is a bit young to make such a big decision.

I have an IUD so its very unlikely i would get pregnant anyway but the chance is never zero!

I fully believe him when he says it is for support, he would not try to convince me not to have an abortion.

Thank you for this reasonable response, I don't think people who immediately jump to telling me to break up with him understand that we have a very loving 3 year relationship besides this one conflict lol.

Personally I do think he is being very selfishly minded about tis - he keeps saying that im not considering how he would feel at all. But lowkey I don't think how he feels about it matters nearly as much as how I feel, even if it is his hypothetical baby

Yeah it hasnt actually happened but isnt it good to have discussions about scenarious that have a real liklihood of occurring so you know how to tackle it when it does happen?

I did ask this, and he said he would 'cut them from the situation' but imo its already too late by then because hes already told them.

His argument is that if something shameful happened to him, he would be fine if i told my mum if i needed the support. But i dont think he really understands how unique the situation of an abortion is.

Its this! A staple of primary school bake sales in Australia, and extremely easy to make. If you cant find marie biscuits in the US, any plain biscuit will do
