We all have urges we shouldn't act on. I'm in a happy commited relationship, but that doesn't keep me from having the urge to flirt with cute people I know. I also have the urge to buy stupidly expensive clothes sometimes, or to run up my credit card bill. Sometimes I have the urge to punch a wall in anger.
None of those things do I actually do.
If I had the urge to become pregnant, I wouldn't also NOT do that.
Unless you are mentally ill, you are reponsible for your own choices AND in control of them.
So, use the birth control and plan your life so that children are a possibilty in the future. Remind yourself an urge is just an urge, and don't give it more power by worrying about all the time. Then just choose to do the smart thing. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
