Weird???
So my DH and I are both young and recently married (5 months). We aren't wanting to have kids for a few years, therefore I am still on BC like I have been for the past 4 years. I pretty much never miss a pill and if I forget I take it within a few hours than the normal time. So my question is.... is it just completely weird that my DH insists that we still use a condom as well?I tell him we don't need too but he thinks we should. Extra cautious I guess? Does anyone else out there have a DH like this? Any suggestions on how to wean him off this idea....

Re: Weird???
Well, to me, it sounds like he REALLY REALLY wants to not have a baby right now. The condom might be something that makes him feel absolutely certain that you will not conceive. I think it as being in control issue for him. Like a sucurity blanket, maybe. He wants to make sure it pregnancy will not happen.
Weaning off the condom.... I think he will have to do it on his own. He has to feel comfortable enough. He isn't comfortable leaving it just to BC pills. I mean they are pretty darn effective, but on rare occasions do fail.

glove slap. I don't take crap.
My husband is the name he calls other people...a whackidoo. For the first four months in our marriage my husband felt the need to wear condoms all the time. I told him I don't want him to wear them and I want to take birth control but he insisted. He was really afraid of me taking birth control and threatened that he'd still wear the condoms while I was taking the birth control.
My new gyno told me birth control will help regulate my periods so my iron levels won't be so low and it will help us later when we're trying to get pregnant so my hubby feels a little better now about me taking bc.
We haven't really used condoms in a few weeks. The way I got him away from them is by trying to initiate sex in an area of the house that's kind of far away from our nightstand. It helped. Now he doesn't even reach for them anymore. I hated that he was using them before because I felt like we're married and we shouldn't have to use them.
