"Of all the stupid things we've ever seen on this show - Miami Girl, Rachella, Jax sleeping with Faith next to a sleeping old lady - we have never seen anything as dumb as the conversation between Kim and Marcus. Kim says that she stopped taking birth control pills because she's really forgetful and would skip her doses. Um, sister, there are ways to fix that."
"Kim says that they're not trying to have a baby, and Marcus counters with, "We're not not trying to have a baby." He's correct. If you're not actively trying to stop it and continuing to have sex, then you are, essentially, trying to have a baby. That is going to be one big major whoopsie, especially when Kim thinks that Marcus has given her the green light to get pregnant,"
Kim stopped taking birth control pills because she often forgot doses and did not adopt other contraceptive methods. She frames pregnancy as a way to secure Marcus despite saying they are not ready. Marcus responds that they are 'not not' trying, reflecting passive acceptance of possible pregnancy. Their sexual behavior without active contraception effectively increases the chance of conception. Kim outlines a timeline of engagement in 18 months and marriage in two years with a baby expected during that period. Marcus cites friends with large families, but their expensive-city lifestyle and unstable restaurant jobs raise practical concerns about childrearing.
