Poking holes in condoms!

Just to make it absolutely clear, this isn’t about DH and I.

My friend is 3 months pregnant, her husband is in shock because they were using condoms every time and not one split.

She’s just admitted to me that she used a pin to poke holes in them. Now call me naive but one, I thought that a tiny pin hole would not be able to get somebody pregnant and also I think this is a crime? I’m disgusted with her and I did tell her that.

Regular poster, name changed.

DH and I are good friends with her and her DH and I just don’t feel okay about this. I feel like she’s done something so wrong that I want to avoid them for as long as possible.

Your friend is unhinged @condomgate

I feel sorry for her husband.

Just because you are desperate to be a mum doesn’t justify deceiving someone into getting you pregnant.

What about the man who promised he’d be a great dad? Promised he’d always support them financially? Then fucks off and cuts them off. Hasn’t he then tricked a woman into starting a family? I think both of these fall into the same category. No where near rape.
