My experiences with relationships are overwhelmingly positive. However, there's always a non-zero risk that such a maneuver can happen. I've seen it happen, many times. Even in otherwise happy couples. Are you willing to bet your future on it?

Your partner can also kill you in your sleep, life is never a guarantee
Somehow cold blooded murder of a defenseless person doesn't seem at all comparable to an unplanned pregnancy.
Betting your future on your partner is the whole point of having a shared household. You and I must have a significantly divergent of what a positive relationship looks like.

I guess. I've never had reason not to be open about these issues and it's never disrupted trust in the relationship. I've discussed these ideas with every partner I've ever had. They weren't offended, they understood. Many even had their own stories of unplanned pregnancies to share.

My girlfriend lets me give her the trimestral birth control injections.
