My b'f feels that he shouldn't have to pay for half of my birth control cost. He has paid for condoms when I wasn't on birth control for a couple months. I have been paying for my birth control for a few months by myself. However the cost has gone up and is now $26.00 per month, should I have to pay this myself or should he be helping me?

Ultimately, it is your own responsibility to pay for birth control.
However, I can definitely see where you're coming from... because he is contributing to the "fun" part of it all, & bith control can get exspensive, I understand how you can feel that he should help pay the costs... Unfortunately, if he is not willing to contribute, it's not something you can force him to do.
Try Planned Parenthood, you may be able to get birth control at less of an exspense through them.
Good Luck ~

Tell him that you cannot afford your birth control and you are not going to use condoms because it is too risky for your health. Tell him if he can't help then you can't have sex until the birth control is affordable. The thing is, it is your responsibility to protect yourself, but if you are in a relationship with someone who cares about you, and you need this for the both of you in order to prevent pregnancy, then he should be willing to help you. If you were behind on your rent and were about to be put out, and he had the money to spare, would he just let you get put out on the street? If no, then he cares, if he says, that's not my problem, then he doesn't. I don't know if this is love or lust, but I definitely wouldn't do something that is going to give me kidney failure.

Sorry, i'm from a more male kind of society but we are now in the world of male and female equality kind of, due to this it should be a joint responsibility and since he's also been handling an aspect of the same matter. I therefore think you should go ahead and be paying but if in the actual fact you can not afford the bill, then, talk with him. If not for the male /female equality stuff i would have submit that he should be paying all.

How did you get involved with such a cheapskate? If he is too cheap to pay for the supplies you need, for both of you, dump him. He is a user and you are being used. Men are supposed to be responsible for women, not the other way around. Tell him to put up some money, or go pay a hooker for the same services, that should get his attention. Too many guys are using women and they can only be used if they permit it to happen. Men don't value anything they get free or cheap. Why do you think you need this loser? Best wishes

That is something for you to negotiate.
You could explain to him that if there were a baby he would have to pay. Maybe you could just agree that he pays for dinner or lunch or other expenses to make up, if he has a problem paying specifically for that.
truthfully most women bear the cost themselves. but he should at least buy the gas when you go out to make up.

Either he pays $13 a month or child support for 18 years.

You may want to consider the question of whether you should be having sex with a man like this which is far more important than the cost of condoms.

I would say no...i pay my own birth control...$26.00 is cheap. or go on seasonale..the generic is jolessa, it is only like $21.00 for 3months and you only get 4 periods a year. think of it this way...$26.00 a month is cheaper than a baby.

Either you can ask him to pay for it once in a while while you're at the pharmacy or tell him to average about 260 times a month so you're average cost per FCUK is about 10 cents a pop :-) How's that for an idea?

If you don't have a job and he does, he should pay. If you have a job then I think you should. I don't have a job (yet) so I would have no income. That's just my opinion
