Why does he not want you on birth control and more importantly, what do you want?

Do what you want lol, who cares what either of them want, what do you want?

A well-known side effect is weight gain and I’m sincerely hoping that isnt why he’s trying to prevent you from taking it. :/ protect yourself. No BC is 100% but having multiple forms is way better odds for you to not get pregnant. A vasectomy might be a helpful addition to this scenario.

What do you want? Neither one own your body. This ain’t about either of them.

Go on it. Unless you’re trying to have a baby, there’s no reason your boyfriend should have a problem with you being on birth control. Especially since it’s your body at the end of the day and he doesn’t get a say in what you choose to do with it. I’d be really curious to know what reason(s) he has to be against it? Have you asked?

Yikes I would’ve preferred that over my immune system dismantling itself :(
