How to tell him we need to start using condoms?

My boyfriend & I have been in a relationship for 3 years, for the first year we used condoms every time we had sex due to lack of trust for one another ( he has a really long history of sexual partners and some infections ) I just have kind of a high number of sexual partners but never once caught anything. Anyways, we stopped using condoms maybe 2 years ago & I want to start using them again because I keep getting yeast infections now & im starting to think it's from him because I was fine , had sex with him & caught one , got it treated had sex with him again and caught another one, it's a weekly thing now. I know he's not cheating on me because all he does is work , gym and home but with the days we do spend together ( we live an hour apart) , we always have sex or some type of sex. I don't want him to think I'm cheating on him and asking him to wear one in case I catch something, how do I break it to him? The problem is , sometimes I get in the mood and don't even think about it anymore. I'm just tired of catching them. I think the antibiotcis are giving it to him or maybe I had a yeast infection and gave it to him and now it's a reoccurring thing... He says he hates condoms and doesn't want to spend money on them if he knows he's not gonna catch anything from me.

  • Yeah, I understand guys not liking condoms. Anyway, you've been together for three years, I feel like you can just go up to him and tell him that this is your concern. Order condoms in bulk and assorted on amazon! It's a lot cheaper and a lot of fun. That's what I used to do before I got on birth control.

    60 condoms:

    100 condoms:

  • You just got to be strong and tell him to use a CONDOM. If you don't enforce it, then your health is being compromised by his. It's alll up to you to take care of your health. But frankly if he doesn't care to wear one to avoid infecting you, then you shouldn't even be having sex with him at all.

    Condoms are cheaper than forking out money to buy medicine and a doctor's consultation.

  • you could buy condoms and the next time you are going to have sex, whip them out and say, "we really need to start using these now".

  • Sounds like he is riddled with STI. get yourself checked out and be very careful of chlamydia. you should get yourself checked for that and don't let him anywhere near you again without a condom. You should tell him "No glove = no love". Just be careful babes XXXX

  • spend money? they r as cheap as candy LOL

    anyway... u should tell him about yer partners #... no?

    • Yeah I know they are cheap but the way we have sex it would cost him a lot 😂😂. And he knows, we know everything about each other ( sexual history)

  • You can get medications for vaginal health at pharmasies... You could also ask him about getting checked... You are allowed to ask if you are in a relationship with him. You can get special soap for this..

  • Talk to your gynecologist. Ask for her/his recommendations. He probably will recommend condoms. Then tell boyfriend that you are following doctors orders.

  • You need to talk to your gynecologist

  • You just tell him, wear it!

  • Tylenol is the best way to treat recurrent yeast infections. Hold one between your knees and as long as it stays there, problem solved.

  • Say no glove no love

  • You demand it!! !

  • get him checked for a yeast infection. But talk to your doctor about what the cause could be. it might not be him at all.

  • Just tell him about the yeast infection problem & that you want to try using a condom to see if it prevents the yeast problem.

  • Yes, you can swap them back and forth. You should probably both go on antibiotics at the same time to clean it up, if that's required. See your doctor -together-
