I wrote my boyfriend an e-mail asking him about helping pay for birthcontrol pills.I know I should have waited until he got home from his 3 week training to talk to him face to face but I'm really nervous about asking him.This is what the e-mail says word for word. "Do you remember when I was telling you about the birth control pills costing $45.I was wondering if you would go half and half on the cost.It is just that I enjoy it alot more when we are able to make love to each other without the use of condoms.I know if we used condoms you would be paying for them anyways and I would prefer to use the birth control pills both for the pleasure of feeling you inside me while we are making love and also because it is suppose to help me health wise to prevent endometriosis and also helps with the cramping and heavy periods." Does the way I wrote this the correct way to go about asking for him to help pay for them?Is he responsible to help pay for them? If he refuses how should I respond?

I have been tested for STD's and am free from having them and boyfriend was a virgin when we started having sex. We used condoms at first and decided birth control was better for the pleasure of making love. We have used both to prevent pregnancy since we're not married.

Why don't you go get them from Planned Parenthood for a lot cheaper?

You both want to have sex, you both dont want a pregnancy, you both should be responsible for paying it. I dont feel you need to explain why. If he says no then go back to condoms which he probably wont like and know that he's cheap.

First, it is a lovely letter (I wish I had gotten something like that, as opposed to 'If you want sex, get the Trojans!')
Should he refuse, perhaps you need to rethink the caliber of relationship that you have with him.
I feel that since sex is shared, the responsibilites must be shared.

the way you wrote it seems fine.not to pushy.he is not responsible for the birth control.you both are for protection, so it does not matter who pays as long as you are both responsible.
