He said looking at the calendar that nothing would happen

My flirt is brushing off the issue of protection and telling me to trust the calendar. They specifically said, “Nothing will happen around these days anyway,” and stubbornly argued that it’s safe. Frankly, I think it’s important to be more cautious about these things, but I couldn’t express myself in front of them. Are they approaching this in an ignorant way, or is there a common but incorrect belief out there? Should I take action on this matter?

I swear it happened to my cousin. According to the calendar, they were supposedly expecting a baby in 6 months. It’s not a sure thing, especially during stressful times, it’s not reliable at all.

What kind of logic is this? Are we bound to a calendar in 2023? This is your friend’s lack of seriousness. Things like this require responsibility.

How long have you been dating? If you brush off such an important topic like this, how do you behave with other things?

@uykuarasi We’re not that new, it’s been over a year. But this attitude was always there, to be honest, I didn’t push too hard back then.

I got really stuck on the part that says ‘it just won’t happen these days.’ I wonder if our education system couldn’t teach it, or if this misinformation is widespread? I’m so surprised.

What you call the calendar method is actually a natural form of contraception, but it’s not 100% safe, especially if your cycle is irregular. I would recommend getting information from a doctor or another reliable source.

@benbisorayim but you can already learn through simple research, even without going to a doctor, that loops can change with stress. so if a little seriousness had been shown, they wouldn’t have spoken like this.

Natural protection is like a fairy tale, you should never trust it.

you’re speaking openly, but when someone constantly brushes you off, that feeling is really exhausting. especially on such a serious topic… if it doesn’t get resolved, it will ruin the relationship.

Relying on the calendar and acting carelessly is literally leaving it to chance. You’ve seen these attitudes in the past and said “whatever,” but why? If this issue is bothering you now, do you think this attitude will change unless you have a fundamental talk about it?

If anyone finds the idea of contraception romantic, they should throw romance straight into the trash. It’s not about the moon, the sun, feelings, or energy; it’s about contraception, and if necessary, the pharmacy/doctor hotline should be working.
