dhgunit Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Why do girls want their boyfriend to remind them to take the pill and discuss it in front of everyone? I have seen this numerous times.....anyone else? (I mean, can't you keep it by your bathroom sink and pop one after you brush your teeth in the morning???) Link to comment
Mythical_Suicide Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Um.. If only it was that simple as just leaving it there and remembering it? If you were a guy wouldn't you prefer to help your girl remember to take her pill each day? I mean, after all you are reaping the benefits just as much as she is. Link to comment
BeStrongBeHappy Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 There are some people who will turn every little thing into attention getting behavior. If i were a guy and the girl required me to remember, it would scare me, because what if he's not around for a day to remind her? She's got to show some responsbility there, and can't be that stupid that she can't set up a routine every day to take care of herself, whether that is personal hygiene or taking a pill. And i think discussing it in front of other people is attention getting behavior and really tacky... i wouldn't discuss my sex life or birth control with anyone in casual conversation.

MyheartorHis Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I haven't ever heard any girl boasting about taking the pill... I don't know why a girl would, though. However, I'd ask my boyfriend to remind me to take the pill... but I also ask him to remind me about a lot of stuff. Link to comment
shikashika Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I have no idea why any girl would want their guy to remind them in front of everyone. If a girl was doing that she would probably be a) very young b) very immature c) wants everyone to know that she is having sex. i would HATE it if a boyfriend did this to me.. I'd find it controlling and patronising!... then again i'm 31.. not 16 Link to comment
JeckyllNHyde Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I wouldn't ask him to remind me. I'd feel really really dependant on him. And remind me infront of people? Lol, I'd kill him.. Link to comment
Cognitive_Canine Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I have my cell phone alarm to remind me. I wouldn't discuss it in front of others, I am a very private person and would never talk about the fact that I was on birth control in front of others. It is like inviting others into discussing our sex life. I have never heard of girls doing this. Link to comment
FloatingAnchor Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 From a guy's point of view, I can understand the need for a reminder, though when I was on BC and my then bf reminded me, I just got annoyed and insulted that he'd think I'd forget. Link to comment
Hope75 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 My first thought was that the girls you were talking about must be in high school. I took the pill for 14 years, from age 18-32 and I never needed anyone to remind me, nor did I discuss it with anyone except my partner. Link to comment
blue-eyedspacemonkey Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 My boyfriend did have to remind me at one point, buts that's because my mobile was dodgy and the alarm didn't always go off, and so he set one on his til I eventually replaced mine. I never made a deal of it though, it was just him: "It's 6o'clock." me: "ok, cheers." Link to comment
redhearts Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 So if she gets pregnant, she can say she took the pill. Link to comment
Cadence_oO Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I think thats a very private thing to be discussed in front of a crowd. I personally didn't want anyone to remind me to take the pill and especially not in public,in front of others... Those are just immature girls who want to brag about having sex and being on birth control, without realising how serious this matter is. Link to comment
Holly_061290 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I've been on it since I was 11 as I have endometriosis. and im now 18..but occasionally I will go through random bad patches where I just forget to take it, and as my bf sees me everyday he reminds me anyway...so many girls are on the pill now its so common that I dont see why they would be boasting about it anyway, its not like its a rare thing x Link to comment
lost1607307474 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I've never ever seen a girl boast about taking the pill or make her boyfriend discuss it in front of a crowd... seems like a very strange thing to do. My discussions about these kinds of things with my boyfriend are always private! And same with all of the other girls I know. Link to comment
penelope13 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 possibilities why a girl would say that: - she wants to show everyone: i have a guy - she wants to show everyone: see what a wonderful relationship we have, we can talk about everything - she wants to stress, how much she likes him, because she is taking the pill because of him - she wants to ensure that he takes her and the relationship serious, because she is taking the pill for him - she is a forgetful person and needs a reminder (maybe she should opt for a different method in this case) Link to comment
