Should he tell me to take Plan B if I don't want to?

Hi everyone! I have been with my partner for almost two years. We both have children, his is 15 and mine is 11. We have been having some significant stress from my 11 year old but we are committed to each other.

Last night we had sex and he said he wanted to come inside me. He asked if I was ovulating, and I said "no". Today I thought about it in a sober state of mind, and it turns out that I could ovulate any time due to my irregular cycle. He gave me his credit card and told me to go buy a Plan B.

I didn't take it but I said that I did. I wanted to have a baby very strongly earlier this year, but gave the idea up when he was 100% not into the idea.

Do you think it's ethical, right, or wrong to not take the pill? I would admit that I didn't take it, but it would cause significant stress.

He says that if we have a baby, he doesn't think it would be good for us. I still have this desire, and it is my body. We can afford to support the child and a comfortable lifestyle.

What a horrible, manipulative thing to do. I'm guessing it 'worked out' because your husband still thinks it was a happy accident and doesn't know you deliberately got pregnant without telling him. The fact that you were prepared to go it alone doesn't help your case, you treated him as nothing more than a sperm provider (not donor, as they know what their doing) which shows you have absolutely no respect for him.

Everyone, male or female, is entitled to make their own reproductive choices. To outright lie to your partner about being on contraceptives is appalling.

Awful and very manipulative

Bet you were fully prepared to demand maintenance payments off the chap though for your "little accident"

God. 😳 I didn't really believe situations like this actually happened.
You must be new to MN. "Accidental" pregnancy is practically the norm here.

@TheAquaticDuchess but a man ejaculating in a woman only leads to pregnancy IF the woman is ovulating so neither is a given
