Sex, Contraception and Love: Silver linings

Silver linings

Today, I went to the doctor and found out that I am infertile. When I called my boyfriend of 2 years, with whom I was hoping to have a future, to talk to him about it, all he said was, "So does this mean I don't have to wear a condom anymore?" FML

Today, I found out that I need a hysterectomy. When I told my boyfriend of 2 years, he broke up with me, because he didn't have time to "coddle my feelings". FML

Today, we recently found out I'm infertile, and I thought we were both devastated, until my partner posted a drunk video to Facebook, basically celebrating that we will never have, "crying, nappy-shitting, soul-sucking, bank account-draining little sods." FML

Today, my fiancé called off our engagement when my doctor told me that I was infertile. Apparently, I’m now “useless” to him. When I mentioned adoption, he basically compared it to suggesting Pepsi when you want Coke. Seriously? FML

Today, when I was trying to break up with my boyfriend, I told him how I needed space and time to think. His response was, "Ok, we're out of condoms anyway." FML

Today, I had to take an emergency contraceptive. I was talking to my boyfriend about it, and I told him that my stomach really hurt. His response? "Aw. That's just the baby dying." FML

Today, I finally had my doctor's appointment to get my tubes tied. I've been waiting for 2 years. Instead, I found out that my birth control failed and I'm pregnant. FML

He was pretty insensitive if he knew you wanted to have kids. Although the no condom thing is good news.

Wait, you mean someone responded to an uncomfortable situation with a quip? THAT NEVER HAPPENS! FYL for being infertile, that sucks. But your boyfriend's reaction is at most a bit insensitive, certainly not anything to be really worried about.

whoa now....in all fairness that is one of the first things that jumps into a guys head. And to be honest you should be rejoicing that he isn't breaking up with you because he wants kids someday and you cant give them to him.

I honestly would have said something similar. It was his way of letting you know he was okay with it.

That may have been something insensitive but maybe not - I don't know how he said it and how you told the news to him. Yes I kinda agree with #153, and plus its not like he was just caring for himself but probably that he was caring for the safety of you both...still he should wear it because of STDs

A lot of the comments here are infuriating, but I'll be a good girl and not reply. OP, I really do feel for you. That's crushing news to receive, and hopefully your boyfriend copped on to that and did something to make you feel better and reassure you a bit more. I know a lot of people have said it already, but you hear hundreds of stories of 'infertile' women conceiving, so there's always hope. Even if you're not one of those women, you can still adopt and give a child a better life. You can still have a family, and at least you won't have to worry about unplanned pregnancy (that might not feel like much of a silver lining, but at least when you choose to start a family you can prepare on your own terms). I wish you all the best.

#28 is a moron. OP, so sorry to hear this. How he reacted was very hurtful but maybe he just didn't know what else to say... There's always adoption and surrogacy.
