so me and my bf had a moment, and smth happened, which meant i had to take a heavy and somewhat unhealthy pill. unfortunately, this has happened before due to some errors, so i’ve already gone through it alone twice before, while also dealing with the side effects. this time, though, it was a known choice. i asked him to get it this time, since it feels shameful to have to ask a pharmacist for it, and in my opinion women get shamed more in these situations, so i wanted to be spared that this time too. of course, i understand that he didn’t want to be the one to do it either, so he suggested we go together, which sounds better in theory but feels even more embarrassing in practice. he also acknowledges that it’s unfair that i’m the one dealing with the pill and its side effects, but he still seemed uncomfortable with getting it. in the end, i caved and went in alone because he seemed so uneasy about asking that it made my heart break.
