I would stay on them to keep my cycle regular even if I wasn't having sex. Also, it's a pain to go on them and off them - every time you want them you have to go into the doctor, if you've let the prescription lapse. Who wants that bother? And better safe than sorry - you never know when you're going to have sex again, and I'd prefer to have sex while on birth control than not.

I think it's pretty possible that she feels if she goes off birth control she will be "giving up" on any illusions that she may be getting laid any time soon. I certainly would.
