AITA if I break up with my bf after he took the condom off?
The Original Poster (OP), a 19-year-old woman, lives with her 29-year-old boyfriend in Texas. They had a clear agreement from the start of their relationship to always use condoms during s*xual activity because the OP is not on birth control.
During a recent intimate encounter, the boyfriend allegedly removed the condom without the OP's knowledge or consent halfway through s*x.
When the OP discovered this after he finished inside her, he admitted to taking it off earlier, stating that it "feels better without it" and later asking if she enjoyed the feeling more. The OP is now questioning whether this action is grounds for ending the relationship.

The core conflict rests between the OP's es**blished boundary regarding s*xual protection, which was based on a mutual agreement, and the boyfriend's unilateral decision to v***ate that boundary for his own perceived physical comfort.
The OP is left feeling betrayed and anxious following the v***ation of trust during an intimate moment.
The reader must weigh whether the boyfriend's immediate apology and promise not to repeat the behavior are sufficient to repair the breach of trust, or if the non-consensual removal of protection const*tutes a fundamental betrayal of the relationship agreement, making a breakup the necessary response.
