You seem really hung up on that number, which is in a perfect scenario. The success rate of condoms drops when circumstances are not perfect. It doesn't really matter, though, since she is apparently going for the 100% effectiveness rate of abstinence.

Do you have children of your own?

It sounds like she has had two kids with two different men, given the age spread, and is VERY concerned about getting pregnant again.

But there are ways for her to help prevent that, so you have to question her anxiety about sex.

I agree that she is really not open to a carefree sex life with you. It's up to you to decide if that is a dealbreaker. Y'all have only been dating 3 months. Are you open to being a stepdad?

99.8% + 98% does not stack normally.
If I remember correctly, it is 99.9992% safe.

Let me guess, this surprise noob post is a warm-up to "women marry 'stable' males they're not attracted to in order to have those males support their children - look, this one did a guy she was hot for and got a kid and she'll probably cheat on supporter OP later while denying the OP sex" ...how warm am I? do I get a prize? Welcome new poster.
I shouldn't LOL at this, but I did.

OP, you are being beta. Do you understand what that means? I think the newest term is INCEL, but it's had a LOT of names over the decades. The bottom line is this mom doesn't want you physically. She wants something else from you though... money, emotional support, someone to toy with, who knows (well, she does and it'd be obvious to anyone not involved). *YOU* will get nothing positive out of sticking around.

Move on, get some self esteem, find a partner Worthy of you. Or don't and let the above quote come full term.

Yes, that sounds like a solid, verifiable number.

So probably.

Chances are high that she is only 0.008% pregnant. You're safe, that's not a lot of baby. Probably she'll just give birth to a fingernail or something.

Does that include easy weight gain? She said she gained 10 pounds in the last 3 months.
She told me she always had low sex drive. I didn't know it was as low as once or twice a year.

Even Ivory soap is only 99 and 44/100% pure.

Well, now you know.

I think you need to exit this relationship this weekend. Hopefully you haven't met the 4-year-old yet.

This is the best analysis I have read all day IMO.
I have two kids and am very ready to step up.
For the last 3 months, I have been giving her parenting advice.
It is pretty apparent to me that she chose me because my kids love me and they are well trained.

How would she even know that? Are your kids in school together or something?

Yup, that can happen too. It sounds like she has a bunch of the common symptoms. Also dry skin, dry hair, poor temparature control, trouble waking up and low energy. Some people get depressed too.
