Small rant!
So my period is 2days late.
I'm a stay at home mum of two 3 and 1year old. I basically haven't got time to have a piss let alone go out an shag someone and last night I was being moody and he said "oh are u on your period?" I said "no worse. I'm not!" He then goes on to say "well if your pregnant I want a DNA test because it's not mine." I thought he was joking and then said "MAURY MAURY MAURY" and laughed he didn't.
My DH works from home and the only time I pop out is to go to my mums with the kids every other time we go out as a family. I'm not upset just abit gob smacked that he could even say that.

he sounds like a tosser. fwiw i've got the little app too and my unplanned baby is now 4mo and asleep on my left arm. i have the (copper) coil now!

He is clearly lacking in the brain department. No matter what contraception is used (and NFP isn't considered very reliable) pregnancy is possible and you are having sex every day!

Polly99 · 30/08/2017 11:47

NFP is reliable but only if you monitor your fertile signs (e.g. Cervical mucus) to identify your fertile window, and also use a second method of contraception during your fertile window. Withdrawal is not contraception as some sperm can sneak out early.

He's rude to suggest you've been cheating and you both need to improve your approach to contraception unless you want more kids.

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 30/08/2017 11:49

I'd stop with the sex as there's nothing more of a turn off, then a complete dipshit.

PeaFaceMcgee · 30/08/2017 11:52

NFP is not the withdrawal method - they are two completely different things. Some people use them together, but NFP recommends condoms over your fertile week or so.

And he's a cock.

teaortequila23 · 30/08/2017 12:08

We are NFP the proper way e.g. Temps and mucus but we are also okay with having another as we have spoke about it and going to start trying after we move into our new house. He's lovely but that comment completely threw me off.

This is utterly wild! My proof withdrawal method doesn't work is currently watching Ben and Holly!

twattymctwatterson · 30/08/2017 12:25

I don't understand why you didn't blow your top. I think the fact that you didn't suggests that he's not actually usually lovely

vanityallisvanity · 30/08/2017 12:42

If what you say is genuine, you have no conception control, just limitation. Your life sounds chaotic, please get proper contraception if you do not want to conceive.

Pannnn · 30/08/2017 12:44

It's good to know you are married to each other.

Skittlesss · 30/08/2017 13:15

Ok. You're a stay at home mum and he works from home, so he knows what you get up to in the day and you say you take the kids with you when you go to your mum's... so it's not like you go out on your own. You have sex every night... unprotected. When the hell does he think you would have conceived with another man?!

FilledSoda · 30/08/2017 13:23

He doesn't think you're cheating but that was a nasty thing to say , so either , he is cheating, he is trying to hurt you and start an argument for reasons known only to himself or he is an abusive fuckwit.

Aeviternity · 30/08/2017 13:23
  1. Use contraception. 2. Get him to use contraception.

You seem to be confusing NFP and withdrawal, both of which are unreliable. NFP via daily basal temp monitoring and a clockwork cycle might - MIGHT - be achievable to someone wholly dedicated to it and rigorous about accuracy, but given that you're just 'finishing elsewhere', it doesn't sound like you are.

You need to be in control. Having unprotected sex with a man who accuses you of affairs is not protecting yourself.

It's very unwise.

PeaFaceMcgee · 30/08/2017 14:13

Proper NFP is just as reliable as the pill, actually. But OP isn't practising it strictly.

PollyFlint · 30/08/2017 14:47

Neither NFP nor withdrawal are reliable methods of birth control at all - and the way you appear to be practising them (ie 'just finishing another way' on your fertile days') is basically not using birth control at all.

You know that, right? Because clearly your husband doesn't. Haven't the two of you discussed this?
