Sex matters

I’ve met a wonderful woman. We’re both 41 and we enjoy a strong sexual chemistry. Just recently she’s demanded I stop using condoms because she still dreams of becoming a mother. She’s never managed to get pregnant but she lives in hope.

Suddenly, my bedroom has become a battleground with her becoming tearful when I rip open another foil. Have I bitten off more than I can chew?

If you’re adamant that you don’t want a baby, then you need to speak to your lover away from the bedroom. She has to understand that you’re on completely different pages and that you won’t be emotionally blackmailed into unprotected sex.

It’s very sad that she’s so desperate to conceive but you’re not the guy she’s looking for. A “slip up” would be life-changing. You cannot allow yourself to be swept along.
