Hey there, aaru.

Sorry to hear you have found yourself worrying about pregnancy again. I know you know our policy on these kinds of posts from having seen it before, but I'm going to post it again for you in case you want to access any of the links included in it to answer these questions for yourself.

Were you ever able to talk to your boyfriend about limits and boundaries so that you aren't doing anything like this that gets you to worrying?
