To want covid vaccine even though bf says I cant

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?

Oh well done op!!! Fantastic ThanksThanks

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

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

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!

Congratulations for getting protected with the vaccination

You don't need your ex

Spend some time on your own

Stay strong

She already has done Smile

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

ChargingBuck · 22/06/2021 17:43

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.

ChargingBuck · 22/06/2021 17:51

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 :)

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

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 Smile (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)

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

BBOA · 26/06/2021 07:50

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

prick free Grin

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