Is it normal that my boyfriend is making me take birth control pills?

So my bf and i have been having sex for about 5 months now and we always use a condom. This past weekend we went to a family get together and i was playing with my cousins baby for awhile. My bf flipped out and is making me go on birth control now cuz he saw me with the baby. I've told him sooo many times from day one that I don't want kids til im at least 30, but just because i enjoyed holding a baby for awhile he thinks that i want my own! I'm fine with just condoms and they've always worked just fine and I don't really want to have to pay for pills and go to the doctor and everything. But he says that we need another layer of protection now. Do other bf's flip out like this?

    Truthfully no woman should take birth control, at least not the pill. The hormones fuck you up, and it sounds like your bf has some paranoia issues.

    id say that maybe he has been traumatized by someone trying to teach him not to get anyone pregnant. however, id say if ur in a monogomous relationship getting on on the pill, IUD , depo, etc is a whole lot better and worth doing. sex is a lot better, u dont have to stop what ur doing to put it on.. a definite improvement!

    if he is the paranoid one then he should go on a pill. sure its normal to want to use protection but not because he freaked out and thinks that you want children. he sounds like a bit of a nut-job. i dont see your relationship going very far.

    What's the point in him
    Getting you to take the pills when you can tell him you took them and throw them in the bin? You can only take them if you want to, he can't force you.

    If YOU dont want to take them DON'T. The pill comes with risks, most are somewhat rare...but it is a medication & alters your body!! Is it worth taking it just because HE wants you to? It sounds to me like he is waaaay overreacting out of fear & immaturity. Just because you enjoy children, doesnt mean you want one RIGHT now. Hes being irrational. I would never let someone control what I do/put into my body. Its your decision, & No, not all guys are freaked out like that.

    The pill does allow for condom free sex. Which does feel much better. But the hormones are not always good to your body. I was on it for years but my husband and I much prefer my behavior when I am not on the pill.

    But there really is no reason to double up, unless he actually likes wearing condoms.

    The reason my boyfriend wanted me on birth control was so he wouldn't have to wear a condom which is normal...
    But your boyfriend wants to just because he's scared you want a baby? That's a little weird Sounds like you need to talk to him. pills + condoms = no fun.

    If the pill doesn't affect you're body in a negative way, I do believe it would be a nice change from condoms.
