Well, I guess you could say he does. I'm married, and we pool our finances. So, since the check to the pharmacy gets written from the joint account, it's *our* money.

Mine hasn't, but I checked 'sometimes' because he has offered several times.

Well, he had the vasectomy, so he's done the birth control!

Seriously though, we're married, he's the breadwinner, it was one of "our" expenses to pay for my pills. Way back when we were dating, I bought my diaphragm & spermicide, not that I remember the cost, whichever one of us picked up the condoms - so he certainly chipped in then too (we were both broke students, whoever had money got what was needed). We would have both been on the hook for a baby, so it was OUR responsibility to prevent one! I remember him paying for some of my pills when I first went on the pill (before we were married), he had a part-time job, I didn't!

Before I was married, no. But once we were married and had a joint checking account, yes.

He offers occasionally ... and if i bring it up, he's certainly happy to. He even offered to help pay for my UTI antibiotics, so that was nice. He does buy the condoms, usually.

We share the cost.
