He’s forfeited our support bubble to keep ex happy

[Nononoandno]

I’m in a relationship with a guy and we both have an older teen each (both under 18yrs) we don’t live with each other, we are each other’s support bubble. His son has a girlfriend that he sees at college but is not happy about not being able to see her at weekends due to Covid rules. So the sons argument is why can his dad see me (sat nights) and he can’t see his GF. Also my partners ex wife is saying she won’t see her son while my partner see me and their son sees GF out of college. My partner has rolled over for an easy life and said he won’t see me if son doesn’t see GF, I only see him one day/night a week he’s said he shouldn’t see me this weekend due to what feels like to keep his ex and son happy! Is this relationship doomed (6 months in)... his son sits next to his GF at college mon-fri. Feel like his ex is pulling his strings, I know she’s jealous about us, due to things she’s said to my partner. Advice please

I wouldn't be happy with this. His son is old enough to understand that his dad has a partner and is able to see you, it's very selfish of him when he's able to see his own girlfriend all week.

I think the bigger issue is if you resent his commitment to his son.

Shows major issues with the rules.So only one support bubble per household and that is where you have an 18 or over living by themselves or with under 18s. So what if you have a single parent with 16 and 17 year olds that all have partners? So only one partner can join to make the support bubble. Further more what if it is a partner that is in a similar household? The chosen bubble partner then stops anyone else in their household forming a support bubble. OP the son's partner is she even allowed to form a bubble ( do her parents know as it could stop them forming a support bubble for a relative etc?).
The mother can see her son regardless in your situation ( rules allow for it , is she at risk hence very cautious?).

If the girlfriend was my daughter I would want to know our households are going to "bubble" as then I could not have eg a single relative that may require support in our bubble.

It's not even a choice, it's only the adult who can form a support bubble.

If the son is nearly 18 OP then your partner will soon no longer be allowed a support bubble with you.

Why not just opt out of this shite, he’s a brand new boyfriend, it should be blissful, easy and fun. That’s the whole point.
