Relationships rarely end neatly and couples may break up and get back together several times in an attempt to confirm their feelings for each other. The woman may give up the Pill in the belief that the relationship is over or perhaps out of anger and pain associated with her sexual life. Lack of sexual pleasure may make a woman less well motivated to cope with the perceived risks and side-effects associated with contraception. Sometimes the pregnancy may be used to test out her relationship, as in the case of Miss B. (p. 51, above). If a woman finds herself pregnant once the relationship has ended, she may decide on abortion not just because of the practical difficulties of single parenthood, but out of a desire to rid herself of everything to do with her former partner.
