| 1 | So my gf stopped taking the pill 4-6 months ago, without telling me, and last week found out that she's 17 weeks pregnant.I don't think abstinence is a realistic option. What is unreasonable about the woman being responsible for birth control, and the man being responsible for birth control. Protect yourself, and anything beyond that is an accident. The crux of my argument is the victim narrative that rolls around every time a dude's girlfriend gets pregnant and wants to keep the baby. I would certainly empathize if they used a condom and still had to deal with pregnancy. That would really truly suck and like I sai… | /r/MensRights | 30/11/11 08:56 PM |
| 4 | So my gf stopped taking the pill 4-6 months ago, without telling me, and last week found out that she's 17 weeks pregnant.I will upvote you because I basically said the same thing and encountered the downvote brigade. Both of your points on very important and I wish more men (and women) were taught that. A lot of men think "woohoo birth control pills!" and completely disregard any chance of conception. | /r/MensRights | 30/11/11 08:32 PM |
| 3 | So my gf stopped taking the pill 4-6 months ago, without telling me, and last week found out that she's 17 weeks pregnant.Perfect use of birth control amounts to 98-99%. The OP was stupid to trust his girlfriend. Why would you place such an important responsibility on someone else? I'm married and I love my husband with all of my being. We are best friends, but like I said, if he 100% did not want to have a child, he should take the precautions necessary. I would expect him to. Several of our married friends have had issues about fertility and pregnancy. My good friend's husband is currently in law school and they … | /r/MensRights | 30/11/11 08:22 PM |
| 2 | So my gf stopped taking the pill 4-6 months ago, without telling me, and last week found out that she's 17 weeks pregnant.Where did I say that you shouldn't base your relationship on mutual trust and respect? I think it's ridiculous to have to constantly police your female partner to make sure they are taking their birth control perfectly. Further, perfect use for birth control is quite rare. I know that I take mine within the hour - sometimes it's 5pm, sometimes it's at 5:15. Even perfect use carries a chance of conception. You shouldn't live your life paranoid that your partner is trying to trick you, but you als… | /r/MensRights | 30/11/11 08:11 PM |
| 2 | So my gf stopped taking the pill 4-6 months ago, without telling me, and last week found out that she's 17 weeks pregnant.Leave this lady because she seems absolutely crazy. Seriously, who forgets to take their birth control pills for several months? This was a calculated plan to get pregnant and rope you in, which makes no sense. If she wanted to be a single mother, there are plenty of sperm donors available, but now, she has inexplicably involved you. She seems nuts, but speak to her one more time. Perhaps hire an arbitrator or therapist to help you make her understand just how much you do not want this. I had a … | /r/MensRights | 30/11/11 07:09 PM |
| -3 | So my gf stopped taking the pill 4-6 months ago, without telling me, and last week found out that she's 17 weeks pregnant.I don't get it. Women, if you don't want to have a child, take the pill. Men, if you don't want to have a child, wear a condom. I feel for the OP, but people need to take responsibility for their own lives. At this point in my life, I cannot have a child. I am on the pill, but my husband knows that if there is an accidental conception, I will be aborting. He's fine with that. We don't use condoms because if I get pregnant, and if I decide that all of a sudden, I cannot abort, he would love to ha… | /r/MensRights | 30/11/11 06:59 PM |
