To want covid vaccine even though bf says I cant

[Trumanshow]

So my bf lives with his mum who is pretty old. Apparently her dr has said she shouldn't have the covid vaccine as it's not safe and no one who has had it can come into contact with her for 10 days. So my bf says Im not allowed to have it done. As far as I know the vaccine can't shed and if his mum is old (80s but otherwise healthy) she will be fine having the jab herself! She believes crystals heal....

I'm pretty well educated and they are starting to make me doubt myself, Im booked to have first dose tomorrow (my hometown has had a massive surge in cases) but I'm scared of the fallout if I do. AIBU just to go have it done even though he says I cant?

How did he take the break up?

[Twoforthree]

prick free

Well done ,op. Forwards and onwards with someone nice.

Good for you. Was clearly a nasty piece of work and you’ve proved you’ve got strength as you dumped him. Bravo!

[Themeparklover]

My ex did similar and his family despite me being educated to degree level in bioscience , they also said women shouldn't be in education and that donald trump was a quote 'god' so yes these people are delusional and dangerous, distance yourself from him permanently and move on, you clearly understand everything your boyfriend has said is a downright lie

@Trumanshow

Thanks all. I was horrendously sick and out of it for a couple of days but a week later I am fine and prick free 😆

Yay
(Obvs not yay at horrendously sick bit)
but yay at prick free bit, hopefully meant in both a sore arm way and a controlling knob way lol)

[PastMyBestBeforeDate]

Well done you :)

The words you are looking for to tell your boyfriend are.... FUCK OFF!

[ChargingBuck]

Aaaw Truman, have only just seen your updates.

Congratulations, & allow yourself time to grieve for the relationship you wished this man was capable of, while you take a lot of very good care of yourself.

I have a feeling your life is going to improve significantly without this twit & his woo-spouting
mother in it :)

[ChargingBuck]

I'm not allowed to see him for 10 days after vaccine either apparently...

Cracking.
Have your vaccine, then extend the 10 days to forever.

Your b/f is either too thick to date, or is telling you deliberate porkies.
Either way, he feels entitled to dictate your health choices for you & control what you choose for your own body. Not an appealing trait, & one I would dump his manipulative (or just plain stupid) arse for.

@Quaggars thanks I'm glad for her he sounds controlling

@Member984815

Get the vaccine dump the boyfriend , anyone who tries to tell you what to do with your own health doesn't deserve your time

She already has done

Congratulations for getting protected with the vaccination

You don't need your ex

Spend some time on your own

Stay strong

[Kacha30]

I hardly believe a doctor would say that. Even if a person was not suitable for a covid vaccine I am sure it's perfectly safe for others around them to have it! They sound mad!

[championthewonderhorse70]

Good for you OP. You've done the right thing by choosing for yourself.

[mumofwildthings]

I wont be having vaccine but I'll defend your right to choose. Decisions over your health are yours and yours alone. You are no more compelled to avoid the vaccine for her sake than I should be to take it for anyone else's benefit. YANBU

[GinPink]

Oh well done op!!! Fantastic

[Orchidflower1]

Sorry @Trumanshow that should say of not or typo 🤪

[Orchidflower1]

🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

For having it done and

🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
For ditching the man child.

You are worthy or so much more.
You had courage.
You acted on this courage.

I’m proud of you and I’m an internet random woman- be proud of yourself. X

Ah Trumanshow, Congratulations, I am so happy for you, as you can now have a wonderful future ahead of you, instead of a life of misery. I am 100% certain that you have made the correct choice, and I hardly ever feel sure enough about anything to say 100%, but in this case I am. Of course you will feel sad, confused, maybe overwhelmed for a while, but please don't ever let those feelings get the better of you. I do hope that you have rl loved ones who will support you, but whether or not you do, please come back here for support as many times as you want or need to, and to let us know how you are doing. Also, do please think about having some counselling, your last 2 choices were brilliant - to have the jab, and especially to break up with him, and I hope that in making those decisions it has already raised your belief in your own self worth at least a little. But you should be absolutely full of self-confidence and self-worth, because you are a amazing human being, and I just think that the right type of counselling may help you get there a little quicker, and a little more easily! 💐💐💐💐💐 for you!

[AnyFucker]

Thank fuck for that.

[NeedNewKnees]

Welcome to your new life - vaccinated and free of a controlling man-baby!

[CupoTeap]

Op good for you, 2 steps to your future health!!!!
