Should my b'f pay half of birth control cost?

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?Should my b'f pay half of birth control cost?
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, %26amp; 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 ~Should my b'f pay half of birth control cost?
It is the principal of the thing. He should pay for half. If I doesn't, I would tell him to get his nooky somewhere else.
Yes I think he should definately help you. It takes two to tango :)


Sit down and explain to him how you feel. But I totally agree..he should help you out a little bit...if he doesn't want to help, then you should think about what else he wouldn't help you out with in the future. A relationship is like a team. Everyone should put work into it. Good luck, sweetie.
He should definitley be paying at very least half. Tell him if he doesnt start helping you pay, you'll stop having sex with him, then see what he does. It sounds like he's using you, if he cared it wouldn't matter to him. Ditch this jerk
$26 a month isn't crap. Just pay it and quit being a whiny a**.
he should pay for all of em---you are doing him a great favor by letting him get inside you without a condom---trust me the feeling is worth the 26 a month easy
Hmmmmm... interesting question.





Did you have to pay for half of the condoms?





But ultimately- l think --- yes, he should. If you're both going to be 'adult' enough to have sex, then you should both be adult enough to share the expense of having it.





The alternative is to go back to condoms he paid for, or get no nookie at all...





And besides... $26 is CHEAP! Compare that to $10,000 to have a baby, and the $200,000 in life and living expenses to raise it to adult hood.
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.
Why should he pay? If you don't want to get pregnant, then pay for the pills. Or make him use condoms.
uhhh yeah..... I made my boyfriend help....its benefitimg both of you and you shouldnt have the burden of shelling out $26.00 bucks every month......make him help you.....or no sex.....LOL
well if you go to planned parenthood should be able to give it to u for free...trust me and they give you like a pack of guy/girl condoms....and pills your choice...but you can find one anywhere just look at the yellow pages or the internet...and they wont rat you out or anything its all confidential even if someone u knw works there they cant say anything or else you can sew them...lol
what will God says about sex before Marriage?
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.
Why should he pay for YOUR pills. Sure he paid for condoms because the are for HIM.
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.
you feel he should pay because you bought them while


you are dating him. It is your responsibility to take care


of your own body. You should still be using condoms


NOTHING is 100%. Pill only lowers pregnancy, condoms


lower diseases.
On the surface I would say that no he should not have too. But it is your relationship. I just asked a question that was similar in concept but got called less than a man for doing so. ultimately it is your responsibility. But if he cares about you and himself, and you want to continue in a responsible manner then he should have not a problem. Cheaper than pampers!!
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
well as i see it he could be nice and offer but i know i wouldnt pay for birth control for my G/F i would buy condoms. just because you are on birth control doesn't mean you can't get pregnant.
birth control is free in the uk, but hell yeah, if you have to pay for it he should cough up half the cost too! or either he has suffer and survive on half rations lol
get it free at the clinic or ask your doctor if he has free samples...





A good boyfriend would pay in full each month. tell him the cost of a child is much more
He should definitely pay half the cost! After all, if you were to concieve, whose baby would it be, both of yours or just yours?!
it's YOUR choice to be on the pill, you should fit the bill....i understand your reasoning though- but it's not really in HIS control (not shouting- there just isn't a bolding function)
no...you decided to go on it...so you should pay for it yourself..


and thats alot to pay each month....i think you can get it way cheeper
Um.. why are you paying?? Be smart and go to a clinic and get those for free!!! they will also give you a bag full of condoms, girl spermacide and morning after pill!!! just say you don't have insurance and go!!!
SEX IZ FUN
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.
Depends, do you have a job? If you have a job, then I'm sure you can pay $26.00 a month. Even on a part time, minimum wage job. (especially since you get paid twice a month).
i say yes. my b/f pays for half of mine, and we both think thats totally reasonable. after all, you're both benefitting from it. besides, birth control pills are more expensive than condoms.
if its both of your decision then yes, you should split the cost, mabey you can pay it for yourself for as long as he paid the the condoms then the two of you can split it from there, you two shouldnt be so picky about who pays for what, who ever has it, just pay it and help eachother out whenever. but for the sake of 50/50, thats what i recommend- good luck.
