Umm, what guy said it's NOT fair?
I suppose the ONLY situation where it's NOT fair is if the guy splits the bill, but the girl decides to have a baby whenever she feels like it: link
But, you can always contract around that: "(Man) agrees to pay for 50% of the cost of birth control for (Woman), so long as (Man) and (Woman) continue to be in a voluntarily sexually intimate relationship, as consideration for and in exchange for the consideration of (Woman)'s promise to take said birth control as directed by the manufacture of the medication, and (Woman) agrees to indemnify (Man) for any court-ordered support for any child that is biologically related to both (Man) and (Woman). Neither party may terminate this agreement. However, either party may waive their "rights" or release the other party's "obligations or duties" under this agreement at any time in a writing signed by both (Man) and (Woman) and two unrelated, uninterested, and unbiased witnesses. Such release or waiver shall become effective only when acknowledged before a Notary Public or Attorney licensed to practice law within the state of (Whatever)."
But yes, it's perfectly fair.

It's okay to ask IF he doesn't use condoms at all.
And if he does, you would need to buy/have condoms too. Just in case.
Maybe also depends how often you have sex. If it's rarely, I think that he should be more inclined to pay part of it
Hmm? I don't know I kind of feel stuck in the middle with this one but I'm leaning more towards a no. I don't know maybe its because my BC is wayy cheaper than that so I don't see it as a big deal. But in your case still like you said every couple should decide what they feel is best for them, did you and your boyfriend come to a mutual agreement? If you just got what you were the most comfortable with then yeah you should be paying it alone, if not ask him to chip in. Maybe you can also consider changing to a different BC one that isn't as expensive.
every couple is different and every one who is answering here probably has a relationship that has a different dynamic and background as yours. If you feel like he should be paying for half of the cost of the pills, then just talk about it with him.
If your boyfriend pays for meals and entertainment when you go out, I would say no. But if you split stuff 50/50, then I think it's OK to ask.

It is not only okay: he should be thrilled to chip in. He's getting the benefits so he has to help pay the piper. However, my good friend makes a good point: anal is free if that's something you both enjoy.
I think it's completely reasonable. Contraception and safe sex are both people's responsibility. So whether it's birth control, condoms, spermicide, or whatever people choose to use, I think it's fair to share the cost.
It isn't unreasonable to ask him to do that. He's benefitting from it too, so if it is too expensive for you then ask him to chip in. if he says no, then don't have sex with him anymore
I think its fair. Birth control is expensive. If he says he is not going to help you I would reevaluate dating him. Because if my boyfriend asked me to help pay for condoms I would.
Why should the man have to wear a condom and have the feeling in his penis be watered down to have worry-free sex?
I would totally do it. As long as you're decently good looking. Otherwise, to hell with it! nah, I kid, I kid :D
I think it's fair to ask to help pay, but if he gets condoms, you gonna help pay for his? Most women never do -_-
I think that's fair enough, can't see why there is anything there for him to complain about if you ask him its justified! he shouldn't have a problem
Of course its fair. I used to give my ex money even when she didn't ask for it LOL
If he refuses to use a condom then he sure as hell better pay for it. All of it. And this is only because I would prefer not to be on birth control at all -just as a personal preference
thats like a $1.50 a day...do you split the cost for condoms?
Sure it can be fair. But have you helped pay for condoms until now? Because if yoi haven't then yes your request becomes unfair...
Are you splitting all other costs in the relationship?
If my girlfriend couldn't affrd 50 bucks a month I wouldn't be dating her
Anal is free.
