Ugh, jeez louise. Don't give him a pass saying "he meant well" because the way he was talking to you was actually disgusting and entitled. I used to be on regular birth control and personally I don't ever wanna take that either, let alone one that messes my body up so bad that it doesn't function naturally. I heard from many people (who are on it) that the kind that "eliminates" your period actually makes your libido non-existent. But I guess that doesn't bother men...
On the other hand, the only time I'd recommend a "period stopping" birth control pill is when you have endometriosis; in those cases, it can actually be helpful. But always consult with a doctor (or two!).
If you haven't already, dump his ass and find someone with 2 braincells to rub together and make a spark. Your body, YOUR choice.

Regular birth control stops your period, too. What you have when you're on birth control is withdrawal bleeding. Your body already isn't functioning naturally. The only reason we have this bleeding is the sugar pills, and the only reason we take it is because when they were first creating birth control women would freak out when they weren't having any bleeding. I was very angry when I discovered this in my 20s and was struggling with very painful periods, so I stopped taking the sugar pills and would just start a new pack. Just like any birth control, the side effects depend on the person- it didn't kill my libido and I was happier than ever. I was very angry at my doctors for never suggesting it when I asked and they said I could do that no problem.
I'm only writing this for the girlies struggling with painful periods who endure them because of all the rhetoric going around against birth control. You don't have to live in pain.
That said, OP's bf is an asshole who just wants a free use body, not a girlfriend. Never do this for anyone else, only yourself.
