I am sorry your are experiencing this with your boyfriend. If you are using condoms (or pill) alone then he may genuinely not trust it entirely but I am surprised that he hasn't asked you for a second form of birth control if this is the case. If you are on the pill and also using condoms then there may be more to this or he may truly be paranoid about getting you pregnant. Have a talk with him when you two are alone and not in a hurry to do anything else-- it's the best advice I can give you. If he is willing to change if there is a second form of birth control added then your relationship is worth it and we must give him kudos for being responsible. If not, then there may be something or someone else in the way.
If he's willing to go through counseling for his constant fear of pregnancy, then that may also be a great way to bond and save your relationship.
