Congrats to OP! But Jesus Christ, Mineshaft became really grumpy after her breakup, what's going on girl?
 
I don't understand why abortion is such a huge no no when you're already using so much contraception...

What about the specific act of abortion makes it so terrible that's it's out of the question? It's not exactly a life that needs to cherished at three or four months...

It's not available in your country?

he's catholic
 
Congratulations OP!

Second time is always the best tho, you'll be king of the rodeo before too long. Don't be too paranoid about contraceptive failure - you guys already have a lot of measures sorted out it seems. Let loose and have fun.
 
Ah, I see.

So what's up with the pre marital sex? Sticking to the letter to the religion only applies when it comes to abortion?

Or is there a clause that allows pre marital sex if you love the person?
Here's how being a Catholic works:
- Say you're Catholic
- Say you believe in the Bible, but don't read it
- Go to mass (if you want), but you must go Easter and Christmas
- Catechesis, First Communion, Confession and the other thing.
- Do whatever you want and once in a while confess your sins.
- No abortions

So pretty much do whatever the fuck you want, but don't you dare have an abortion or you'll go to hell?

Why even bother believing at that stage if you're just doing whatever the fuck you want anyway.

Well, you usually feel guilty about it but no one takes it serious except old people so you keep doing it and confess (which is extremely embarrassing).

Honestly, just seems so silly to me to even bother when you're at that stage, but I guess I shouldn't judge. People will have their belief systems, not my place to call them on it so long as they aren't hurting anyone.

Just really struck me as odd when the OP said his girlfriend's life would be screwed up/ruined if she got pregnant...

I could care less about religious rules, Religion is a part of my life, not the whole thing. And theres some dumb stuff in catholicism.

I just don't see myself killing a son of mine.

Im not going to force my beliefs into you, its just a sensitive deal for me.

Fair enough.

I didn't mean to come across as dismissive, I was just wondering why you'd be so against abortion but be open to breaking some other religious rules.
 
I've been with my SO for over a year and I still use a condom and she uses the pill. I got completely traumatized by all my high school friends popping out kids, sometimes numerous ones. Either someone was being malicious or that was just some horrible odds at play.

Basically its a matter of the consequences of breaking those "rules" having sex and forgetting to not eat meat on Friday affect me and me alone.

Killing my unborn child is denying someone else a shot at life, so my actions are affecting another person. I would rather be a single father and take responsibility from my actions.

Same reasons I don't discriminate gay people, or try to convert everyone I meet.It hurts other people.

My take on faith to keep my relationship with god to just me and it. I just
feel comfortable with the ways catholicism allows you to express that relationship. for example praying by yourself, or wearing a cross, praying with your loved ones, going to those beautiful temples.

But there's several things about the church I don't agree with and refuse to follow, here in Latin America that's very common
thinking in the younger generations
 
I think abortions are even more of a taboo in Latin American countries. I don't know of anybody who has had one (obviously someone may had one but nobody talks about it).

Using birth control isn't the same? I'm legitimately curious to hear the rationale, because this seems like a common belief.

Regarding the thread topic, as others have said you were over prepared. Continue not worrying about it.
 
ah yeah, costa rica makes sense

latam = religion is pretty broad tho and many people think that still

I live in Uruguay and religion is virtually nonexistent. gay marriage is legal, abortion is legal. neither truly frowned upon

Most young Catholics believe Life starts at conception. But many orthodox catholics just have more kids than they can handle, because of what you're saying.

Basically, everytime you get horny, is because god wants you to have yet another kid! So don't dare interfere.

that kind of thinking is almost exclusive for older generations. Even my parents use birth control.
 
Yeah the "Did I get her pregnant?" freakout doesn't really go away, you just get more reassured by how unlikely it is with all the contraception. People try for babies for years.

Well, Uruguay is extremely liberal and from my perception most of the other countries are more socially conservative. I'm in Puerto Rico and everyone I know is religious and gay marriage is illegal. To be fair, I live in a semi-rural area so being atheist and/or gay may be more acceptable in the metropolitan areas.

I am Catholic too because my mum wanted me to be. Here is how it goes for me:

- Say you're Catholic and that you don't believe in god
- Say you believe in the Bible, but don't read it, because it's stupid
- Go to mass (if you want), but you must go Easter and Christmas, or fuck all these things
- Catechesis, First Communion, Confession and the other thing and take the money and don't care about these rituals
- Do whatever you want and once in a while confess your sins or live with your sins
- Yes to abortions (if something like that happens)

Fuck being Catholic, what a shitty society and annoying brainwash thing. I never believed in that shit and just went to a catholic school because my mum wanted me to go to one. I never ever cared for anything because I realized that it's just a waste of time and it also destroys your knees in church.

Not that I am saying that religion sucks - people should believe in what they want to believe, but they weren't able to brainwash me and they really tried for many years.

I will also quit the church because they take a few bucks every year for church fees - that fuckers.

Gratz to OP for the sex, but wearing a condome AND pulling out... C'mon, you are better than that in your head. :)
 
BTW the pill is even worse. Killed my sex drive, made me an emotional wreck, and totally fucked with my shit. Really. Awful. Don't subject your girlfriend to that shiat.

Not to be a dick, but do you realize that millions of women all over the world use the pill without any important issues?

Just stop taking it altogether if it's giving you any trouble. It's not the end of the world. Condoms suck, but hey, you gotta do what you gotta do.

PS: Some women actually report higher sex drive, so there's that.

Edit: I see that was resolved a few pages back.
 
Still It's kind of scary to think that I might screw her life up with just one mistake on this (and no, abortions are not an option for any of us)

If you're thinking about things like this you're starting off on better footing than most people when they lose their V Card. Myself included. Still, it sounds like you were careful, overly so, so just enjoy it. It's literally the best thing in the world so don't ruin it by stressing yourself. Most of that should go away as you get more comfortable.

The best part is it gets better as you do. Congrats on the Sex.
