Today, I told my husband that when I get my birth control taken out later this year, I would like to take a break from it for a while. He just said, "Condoms are too expensive and I don't want to waste $2 every time we do it." FML

Today, my boyfriend admitted to me that the reason he won't have sex with me is because "Condoms are too expensive." FML

Today, I told a guy that I was on birth control. He decided that it would be best for us not to continue speaking with each other. I never would've thought taking care of myself would be a deal breaker. FML

After careful consideration…

Today, I told my husband I might want a baby, so he took me to visit his best friend who has a toddler and we stayed for an hour. I no longer want a baby. I want the pill wrapped in 2 condoms and a joint vasectomy/hysterectomy paid for with my non-baby disposable income, and my husband now has a shit eating grin. FML

Today, my boyfriend told me that having my own condoms is unattractive, emasculating, and a turn off. According to him it's the man’s responsibility to provide the protection, and the fact that I have my own means I must have been very promiscuous if I needed to have them on hand. I’m allergic to the pill. 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, my boyfriend and I were about to get intimate for the first time. He said he didn't want to use a condom, and that I should just give him one of my birth control pills instead, "so we can still be just as safe". What the hell? FML

Today, I went to the local pharmacy to buy some condoms. When I went to go purchase them, the elderly lady behind the counter took one look at me and said, "Honey, you're your own birth control." FML

Today, I was at the store, when I saw my boyfriend in line in front of me. I looked to see what he was purchasing; it was a pack of condoms. When I questioned him, he said that, "They're for us, babe!" We already have an unopened pack at home, and it's my time of the month. FML

Today, the condom slipped off, because my boyfriend refuses to admit that he needs to use smaller condoms. FML

"Waste" the phonology used regarding this term refers to negative connotations associated with lack of appreciation and on a familiar basis, a cheap piece of shit

Tell him too ******* bad. He can't put the responsibility of birth control on you all the time.

Ask him to pay for your birth control if he is so adamant about not using condoms then. Then ask him how he feels about paying for condoms.

I don't think it's because of the money that op wants to take a break. She probably wants a break from the side effects that come with birth control.

I think she means OP's birth control option is probably more expensive than condoms anyways. So if the husband doesn't want to pay for condoms, he definitely won't want to pay for her contraceptive device. But who knows, maybe OP has insurance for that.

Well, I guess you're going to have to give him ********. I'm sorry, I had to say it before a real asshole said it. Now that we got the douche-bag comment out of the way, if you wish to take a break from birth control, that is your decision to make and he needs to respect it. There are options for men to prevent pregnancy ranging from condoms to a vasectomy. If he finds none of those options appealing, he will have to make do with Vaseline and a box of tissues while you're on your break.

She doesnt HAVE to give him anything. Its her body.

Well, just tell him that no condom equals no sex, and if he's going to be that way, he'll just have to **** rmsy palm. If you deprive a man of sex for long enough, he will probably change his attitude.

Tell him to go look up how much for just a pack of diapers. And that doesn't even begin to cover everything else. I am sure he won't mind spending $2 then.
