My (23M) new girlfriend (28F) refuses to use contraceptives
Hi! I recently met a girl on a dating site, and we’ve had great chemistry from the start. We’ve been seeing each other everyday for about a week now, and things were going well until we started talking about sexual preferences and contraception.
I’m not ready to become a dad at this point in my life. I’ve always used condoms because I want to be responsible, but she strongly disagrees and insists on using the “pull-out” method instead, even though I know how unreliable it can be.
I even suggested that she consider taking the pill as an extra precaution, but she doesn’t want to. She also shared that she’s strongly against abortion, and while I completely respect her stance, I’m really concerned about the possibility of an unplanned pregnancy.
I don’t feel financially or emotionally ready to bring a child into the world right now, and I’m struggling with how to navigate this conversation without causing conflict.
Any advice ?
