Narcissist Behavior Q&A

๐Ÿฉบ They try to change birth control or pregnancy decisions alone

Birth control and pregnancy are not theirs to decide alone. Major decisions about your body are rightfully, entirely yours.

The short answer

Sabotaging birth control or forcing pregnancy takes decisions about your body away from you.

When this happens, try this

  • If you're worried about a possible pregnancy or your health, find an OB-GYN or clinic where you can be seen comfortably on your own first.
  • If there were threats or coercion, call 911 or contact the RAINN National Sexual Assault Hotline (800-656-4673) for support.

Scenes like this

  • They removed or tampered with contraception without consent.
  • They pressured you to handle pregnancy, birth, or abortion their way.

How to tell the difference

They can talk about the future they want. They may not block information, medication, or care you need. Decisions about your body are yours to make.
