Your Site Name

I recently had a friend ask me to write an entry, on my blog, about relationships. With a bit hesitation, I told him I would oblige. It's not that I mind discussing relationship issues, I just did not want to dedicate a bulk of the site to this topic. And, knowing myself, I could easily ramble on for days about all of the "interesting" experiences I've had.

So, to prevent myself from giving everyone my take on the topic, I've decided to open up a forum about various relationship matters in order to allow others to have a turn at expressing themselves. Plus, I think switching gears for a moment away from politics, the depressing economic crisis, and hurricane devastation is a nice change.

There will be plenty of opportunity for me to give you all my views on romance, love, dating, and overall living.

So, please feel free to weigh in on this topic and LETS TALK SOME TRASH...

The Question of the Day is: Should your boyfriend help out, financially, with the purchase of birth control?

If you're in a serious relationship with someone who is not ready for children, who actually cringes at the thought of a little rugrat running around, and nearly breaks down into tears each time a friend announces that they're having a baby, then birth control is probably a part of your normal sexual routine. And, birth control is a given if you are not at the stage where a child can be cut and pasted easily into your window, and on occasion, you wake up the next morning wearing the same clothes you had on the night before and still drunk. So, should the two of you split the cost of birth control -- whatever type it may be?

More likely, than not, it's usually the female who foots the cost for pills, IUDS, rings, shots or other forms of control. But, the benefits are enjoyed by both, you and your partner. And, if you both agree on not having babies, what is his role in all of this?
