Women, would you trust your partner to take the pill?

Recommended Posts

I'm married and completely trust my hubby.I do believe he would make a true effort to take it regularly,but he does have a hard time remembering things some times,especially when it comes to stuff like this. He wanted to take some vitamins b/c he was feeling funky so I set up a daily pill box for him.All he had to do was take them...no fumbling with bottles etc.But he eventually forgot to take those even though it was all set up for him.:S


Then he'll leave stuff in weird places...ever heard of accidentally putting your keys in the fridge or taking the remote w/you to wherever etc.Well when we moved out of our seperate apts and into our combined apt after getting married,we found a box of razorblades and a box of staples in his freezer while moving him out of his old apt.:DWe've got an APB out on one of the TV remotes right now.:S

I swear, I dont know how he survived being single.But yes, I'd trust him in the fact that I know he'd make a very concerted effort to take the pill but I also know I'd have to remind him constantly or just administer it directly myself when I take my own meds.:S

Hes all about birth control and trying to find ways to help in that aspect.I know hed buy it the second it hit the Doc's office/pharmacy.Hes actually trying to get the process going right now to get a vasectomy b/c A) we have decided we never want kids.B) b/c it would be one less chemical I'd have to put in my body on top of all the other meds I take.(his words)

So I completely trust him...just not his memory.

(pardon the long post)

He wouldn't be my partner if I couldn't trust him.



Exactly.

Men trust women to take it, why shouldn't it be the same the other way around?



because I am ultimately responsible for my body. I personally couldn't stand to give that responsibility to another person. Not that you shouldn't be able to trust him, but it's just not something that I want to give away.

I would not have trusted my husband to take the pill. In 26 years of marriage he couldn't remember my birthday. It was four days before his! :S

I could probably count on one hand the number of times he went to the doctor when we were married. I don't think he ever did go to the dentist. No, he was not one to depend on for remembering something like that.

Of course, I'm sure this comes as no surprise, but this "partner" is 100% fictitious. :D

I've been thinking I might get one of those too... Oh, Oh, I'll be your fictious partner if you'll be mine... :ph34r::)

I have to say I'm not surprised by the results so far (only 15 votes in at this time)... but they do seem to contradict what this article claims:

However a study published in the British Medical Journal in 2000 found that only two per cent of women said they would not trust their partner to take a male Pill.

Are you kidding if it was as easy as taking a pill there would be a brand of beer with it as main ingredient and college parties would have beer bong-a-thongs with that brand.

For the guys that don't drink there would be recipes for mixing up protein drinks or breakfast shakes. Gyms would feature it as prime ingredient at their juice bars.

All of this is assuming that there are no permanent side effects ( yeah sure like this stops steriod use ) like ass bleeding. But rest assured that if the side effect was, for example, the growth of perky female style breasts then I'm telling you that consumption would tripple.

interesting results. why have some women said no. you think most guys want to have children?



I love my husband with all my heart and trust him completely. I also know him well, and given that at least the female version of the pill needs to be taken on time every day to be most reliable, assuming that the guy pill would be similar in nature, there's no way that he would remember 100% of the time. He'd remember 98% of the time, but that 2%... not a chanceB|

In my experience, the guys I've met have been more interested in having children than me.
One even more or less said he wanted a family. Would I be interested in the position as mother? :S
Apparently I have a gift for attracting father-wannabees...
