Long story short I was prescribed bc and this was my boyfriend's reaction.

He's against it probably because he thinks I'll want to be more risky now (but I don't tho). Honestly I wanted extra protection because I always got so tense when we were intimate because I was scared of an accident. Now I'll be able to enjoy our sexy times more because I'll actually have peace of mind (not to mention my anxiety).

I'm just looking for some opinions on this from you guys, honestly. Did I respond right to this or was there a better way? He gets out of work in two hours and I want to talk to him about it more and ask what his concerns are. What should I say so that it doesn't get "heated"?

Also, I'm 19 and he's 20, just in case someone's wondering.

**UPDATE**

So I spoke to him this morning, since he got home late from work. I asked him what was up and he just explained that he would be uncomfortable with people knowing because he doesn't want people to assume things about us (we're rather private about our "activities" as it would be shocking for either of our families to discover what we've been up too 🙄). So I told him that I understand where he's coming from, but I also explained that it's not just a form of contraception, and that it has other benefits that people use it for. I gave him examples of some of the people I know that take it for medical reasons (i.e. Extremely irregular periods). He was still really quiet about it, so I guess it's just something he'll have to work through on his own. 🙃 I've done my part and will explain things if he wants to know but ultimately there's only so much I can do. If it becomes a serious problem I'll have to sit down and have a serious discussion with him about this sorta stuff. Hopefully he grows up a bit about it before that needs to happen. 😅

And thank you to all of you who have supported me wthroigg this little "mishap". 😘
