To want covid vaccine even though bf says I cant

Trumanshow · 18/06/2021 22:47

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?

Is this the same bf who repeatedly cheats on you or another one? Because you really need to set your bar higher. Hmm

I trust that there's a good reason that he lives with his mum at forty-three? Moved back in as a carer - fine. Never lived independently - red flag.

Get vaccinated then tell him " No sex for 10 days, to save your Mum"

AdoraBell · 18/06/2021 23:00

Have the vaccine, don’t contact him for the 10 days then just get on with your life.

Smartiepants79 · 18/06/2021 23:01

Get rid of this idiot. Why would you listen to him for even a second?

QueSeraSarah · 18/06/2021 23:02

Chuck him back in the sea. Nobhead

Have the vaccine and tell him that the doctors there told you not to see him or his mum for at least 10 years and go and get on with your life.

He's either thick and a liar or completely batshit and you're better off without him!

BarbarianMum · 18/06/2021 23:06

I'm not allowed to see him for q0 days after the vaccine either apparently

Every cloud has a silver lining. Smile

Seriously, how can you find him even remotely attractive as he spouts such shit?

PastMyBestBeforeDate · 18/06/2021 23:07

Suggest you don't see him for at least 10 days. 365+ days would be better. For you.

BillyIsMyBunny · 18/06/2021 23:07

I’d get the vaccine and lose the boyfriend.

nothingcanhurtmewithmyeyesshut · 18/06/2021 23:07

Excuse me? I thought you just said that he says you can't have it?

He and his mother can get to fuck and go the bloody long way round!

Frankly 10 days without that shit sounds like bliss. Is he normally this controlling?

BBOA · 18/06/2021 23:07

What a weirdo! He’s talking a load of rubbish and just lying to you about what the Dr said and as for having to stay away for 10 days? What planet is he on? Vaccines aren’t tranmissable!

goddessofmischief · 18/06/2021 23:08

Get the vaccine to protect yourself. It's not his choice to make. Throw this one back, he's a twat.

Geamhradh · 18/06/2021 23:08

@AdoraBell

Have the vaccine, don’t contact him for the 10 days then just get on with your life.
Or possibly 10 years, just to make sure him and his mammy are safe.

Is his name Norman OP?

Imnothereforthedrama · 18/06/2021 23:08

You know your own health op , and anything your not sure about you can find out from your own gp or medical professional not your own bf .
Do not let anyone tell you what you should and shouldn’t do you you want the vaccine go and get it you don’t need permission.

HotToddyColdSauvignon · 18/06/2021 23:09

Why on Earth are you dating this waste of space?

Trumanshow · 18/06/2021 23:09

Thank you all. I was starting to think I was a lunatic for arguing about it.

Yes Notthecatswhiskers ... That's me (and him)

He’s quite dumb. Get the vaccine and a new man.

@reprehensibleme

Aye, right.
Grin indeed

I love these new and noval ways of getting an anti vac agenda out there.

nancy75 · 18/06/2021 23:11

Yeah, have the jab. Don’t see him for 10 days, then don’t see him for at least another 10 years.
He’s either controlling, a liar or a complete & utter fool. None of those things are qualities to look for in a boyfriend

ITakeCharge · 18/06/2021 23:12

Have your vaccine as scheduled but 10 days is not long enough to stay away from these people. I would have nothing further to do with them, they can make their own choice about vaccination but they don't get to dictate yours and to lie to you is disgraceful.

Purplewithred · 18/06/2021 23:15

Why is this knob in your life?

@reprehensibleme

Aye, right.

It is funny to see what they come up with. I am astounded that anyone thinks the idea of a doctor saying this is within the faintest realms of plausibility.

BlowDryRat · 18/06/2021 23:17

Get the vaccine. Dump the weird mummy's boy.
