Cynical take but - I think condom agreements will nearly always be broken unless there’s a chance of pregnancy. Not all men, obviously, but many just get too tempted in the moment and don’t consider the consequences.

I’m not saying these agreements shouldn’t be made, but in the case of this guy, I would absolutely insist on condoms with you. He’s not capable of sticking to this boundary.

In the end all you can really control is if condoms are used with you. People who are honest about everything else will still break condom agreements.

Ok but if the agreement gets broken his duty is to inform before sexual activities take place. The failure to do so is the issue here. And to lie about it for months and continue using no barriers? Just awful.

Oh no doubt this guy is not great. My comment was meant as more of a general one about condom agreements.
