My Girlfriend Was On Birth Control Even When There Was No Birth To Control

We’ve been dating for the last six months. I proposed to her when I was away but she’s someone I’ve known for years. When I was coming home, my whole intention was to get to know her for a few months and marry her. We talked about it and she was all for it.

When I landed in Ghana, she was at the airport waiting for me. I didn’t go home. I spent the night at her place and it happened. I used protection. I didn’t want any accidental pregnancy.

The next day when I was going home. I went with her so I could introduce her to my parents. I said she was a friend but they read between the lines since we spent that night together in my room.

That night when we were about to do it, I reached out for my wallet, trying to get a latex. She pulled my hand and said, “Forget about that and come.” I said, “No, anything can happen. Let’s protect ourselves.” She said, “If it’s pregnancy you’re scared of them there’s no need to worry because I’m on birth control.”

I was on top of her when the depth of what she said got to me. I asked her, “Are you sure of what you’re saying? How long have you been on birth control?” She answered, “It’s the inserted one. It has been there saaa so there’s no need to fear. When we are ready I will remove it.”

Before I proposed to her, she told me she had been single for more than two years. I was away so why was she on birth control? What was she controlling?

I asked her these same questions and she told me I was the one trying to be litigative and that she didn’t want to remove it and put it there again so after she broke up with her ex, she kept them there.

For over three years?

Is that even possible? Or you’re also thinking what I’m thinking…
