Love, Intimacy, Sex and Contraception: Red flag

Red flag

By safety first - 08/10/2023 22:00

Today, my boyfriend told me that having my own condoms is unattractive, emasculating, and a turn off. According to him it's the man’s responsibility to provide the protection, and the fact that I have my own means I must have been very promiscuous if I needed to have them on hand. I’m allergic to the pill. FML

Today, my boyfriend admitted to me that the reason he won't have sex with me is because "Condoms are too expensive." FML

Today, I told my husband that when I get my birth control taken out later this year, I would like to take a break from it for a while. He just said, "Condoms are too expensive and I don't want to waste $2 every time we do it." FML

Today, my boyfriend and I were about to get intimate for the first time. He said he didn't want to use a condom, and that I should just give him one of my birth control pills instead, "so we can still be just as safe". What the hell? FML

Today, my now ex-boyfriend called me over for an "important chat". This chat consisted of him not only insisting that we have sex whenever he feels like it, but demanding that I take birth control pills, because making him wear a condom is "sexist and degrading." FML

Today, I was at the store, when I saw my boyfriend in line in front of me. I looked to see what he was purchasing; it was a pack of condoms. When I questioned him, he said that, "They're for us, babe!" We already have an unopened pack at home, and it's my time of the month. FML

Today, my otherwise lovely boyfriend of a month showed his true colors. He freaked out when he learned that I use tampons instead of pads. He yelled that using them is like cheating on him, because his penis is the only thing that should ever enter me. FML

Today, my boyfriend is so terrified of having a baby that he won’t screw me, even though I’m on the pill and we have condoms. He gets so worked up, he usually goes soft before we get the condom on. His oral game is on point but I just want a good hard dicking, is that too much to ask? FML

Today, I had to explain to my husband why saving the condom from the first time we had sex is not romantic. FML

Today, my boyfriend confided to me that he has a used condom collection. When I reacted with disgust, he "reassured" me that he only keeps the ones he uses with me. FML

Girl, run, don't walk. I don't even want to know what other misogynistic bs he's got stored up there. On another note though, have you considered an IUD or a birth control implant, if those are safe for you?

Hopefully you're more allergic to toxic, immature masculinity than the pill. Dump the manchild.

Women owning condoms? What in the world? Next you'll tell me they're allowed to drive and vote! But honestly, birth control is everyone's responsibility, and no one should ever have to ask permission or apologize for having it and using it.

You found an insecure prick! You win STDs, pregnancies, and a whinging loser who tears you down.
