Name changed.

DP is insistent on not using condoms for the full duration of sex, but says he is keen to avoid pregnancy. I am not on any other form of birth control and have made it known abortion is not birth control.

YANBU - he secretly wants to get me pregnant
YABU - he is just foolish

You obviously want to get pregnant otherwise you'd insist on condoms or take your own precautions or ditch the bellend.
Remember it's you who'll be left as a single mum fighting to get the bare minimum of child maintenance from him when you get pregnant and he fucks off, which is inevitable.

YABS (you are being silly) he'll probably be off like a shot if you do get pregnant......

You are a fool if you are willing to risk pregnancy and a child with a man who clearly values your health, future and opinions less than his pleasure in condom free sex

Has he got any other children? Like lots of other children with lots of women?

If so, I’d say he was a serial impregnator who gets a high from the power of knowing he has offspring scattered about.

If not, your options are he is either dumb as rocks, or he truly doesn’t give a shit. Neither are particularly attractive.

Sorry, have I read that right?! "I am not on any form of birth control".

You're the foolish one, I'm afraid, unless you are wanting to get pregnant, and have the means to support a child for the next 18 years + on your own.

This in spades.
Women are equally responsible for contraception, especially as it'd the woman left ''Holding the baby'' literally if one comes along.

beck01 · 14/06/2022 21:56

So you are trying to get pregnant then.
Does he want a child?

Stompythedinosaur · 14/06/2022 22:02

Well, the best case scenario is he is a man-baby with a difficulty in acting like an actual grown up, worse case is he prioritises his sexual pleasure over the potential for screwing up the entire rest of your life.

Unless you are up for single parenthood, do not let his cock anywhere near you without protection.

If you want a baby then I'd grab this last chance saloon with both hands - do ovulation checks, plan sex etc. This quite possibly is your last chance. Doesn't sound like you need him anyway so his involvement would be a improvement over nothing if you did it solo.

Sperm bank is a better option than having a baby with a feckless halfwit.

Have you had any therapy for the trauma from the robbery? I'd concentrate on this first because pregnancy hormones mess with your head. It might bring underlying trauma to the surface.
