My boyfriend of 3 & a half years & I don't live together but spent every weekend together pre covid.
During the first lockdown he developed COPD & is understandably scared of catching the virus. Once support bubbles were allowed we formed a bubble with our kids, but only saw each socially distanced during term time as I teach young children & there is no social distancing with them.
Now, we usually meet at weekends for a walk, as its a bit cold for sitting in gardens. I did ask if he wanted to form a bubble with someone he could visit properly. This was 2 weeks ago, he said no, he only wanted to bubble with me.
Today though he told me he's been to visit a friend & is going to start taking his son to visit her & her kids. I was puzzled as he is a stickler for not breaking the rules... but throughout our conversation it became apparent that she is now his support bubble & I am the person he can meet for a walk.
Ill be honest - I'm upset. I can't make another bubble as one of my kids is over 18. And you are not meant to change bubbles anyway.
I just thought he could have talked it through with me first. She doesn't work, doesn't go out, her kids are home schooled - but they see their dad who thinks Covid is a conspiracy & doesn't believe in SD or wearing a mask. So he is still taking risks going to hers.
AIBU to think he could have talked this through with me first?
