writes: My boyfriend and I have been having sex for about three months now. So far we have used only condoms but sometimes we find ourselves starting to have sex without the condom and then putting it on when he's close to coming. Because of this we decided I should go on the pill. I asked my boyfriend if he would come to the doctor's office with me while I get it, just because I'm a little nervous about going by myself. He said that if I'm going on the pill then it's my responsibility and I should go on my own. I was under the impression that contraception was both of our responsibilities and didn't think I was in the wrong by asking if he would come too. According to him, condoms were his problem and the pill is mine and he shouldn't have to take time off work to come with me when I can get one of my girlfriends to come.I don't think I'm being unreasonable but now he refuses to talk about it. Can anyone help and tell me if I was being unreasonable?

 If he has to take time off work to go with you , I think that is a bit unreasonable.It is only a small matter and not a major issue. You could have handle it yourself. You do not want to show him that you are an incapable person with such a small matter and you need his assistance.
If he took time off to go with you , it would be ideal as he is caring and loving.
Don't let it escalate until you turn cold towards each other and affects the other areas of your life.
His attitude is a let down.If you make it difficult for him to have sex, maybe he may run a round for you. LOL!

 You aren't being unreasonable. Both of you are right in your own way. Yes, contraception is the responsibility of both parties. Yes, he's responsible for condoms and you for pills, BUT it would be nice for him to go with you because you are his girlfriend and he should try his best to make you happy when you are nervous or sad.
