Extra Post: no matter what.. its "Your Fault"

My boyfriend and I are sexually active. I am currently on a 4-year birth control, even though I am not expected to have children due to complications with my body. It is located in my arm and is basically a plastic thin rod. So with all of that being said, here's my story: Over spring break I saw my boyfriend just about everyday. We noticed that someone put condoms in my drawer however. My parents "claim" they had nothing to do with it. Anyways, my boyfriend and I never use condoms. I brought up the idea of using one, and his response was that it doesn't feel as good and his answer was no. So keep that in mind. I said we should, he said we shouldn't. Then we talked about how he thinks that I shouldn't be on birth control, but I'm only on so that my cycle will begin and start to regulate. So now keep in mind that he doesn't want me on birth control and doesn't want to use a condom, yet I do. He finally went back to his university in Kentucky and I went back to school, not thinking about anything out of the ordinary. I looked at my arm on Monday and noticed that the area where my birth control is, it was red. I touched the rod and it felt as if it broke. Later that day my body was responding weird and when I called my boyfriend to tell him what happened he was not happy. In fact he forced me to go to Walgreens to take a test. At that point so much was going through my head and on top of that he was saying that it was my fault because I somehow broke my birth control rod. Anyways the tests were negative but the moral of the story is, it's all my fault even though he didn't want on birth control from the start, and he didn't want to use a condom. Was it all my fault?

  1. It was definitely not all your fault! Sex (at least in this case) is a consensual act between to independent parties, so it's the responsibility of both to avoid unwanted pregnancy.
    And sorry to hear about that ordeal, it must have been miserable. I've never been in this exact situation, but I have an anxiety disorder, so I can somewhat imagine how it must have felt.

  2. This sounds like such an incredibly frustrating situation, and I am so sorry that you had to go through it! This situation is incredibly annoying because a woman should have a choice of what to do with her body, and I feel like a partner should be supportive of that. If you want to use condoms, you should feel free to use condoms. Again, I am really sorry!
